BEAUTIFUL HARLEY

Harley is currently in foster care and is doing very well. His foster parents Lynn and Earl say he is one amazing boy who is good natured, well behaved and respectful of his foster doggy and kitty brothers and sisters. Harley is house trained and is crate trained as well. Harley is a good boy and is eager to please – he is playful, loves to go on walks and has a real affectionate side too.

Harley will require, as any young dog does, consistancy, structure and routine. He knows basic commands and is learning to walk on leash without pulling. Harley would love to go to training classes with his new person and it would be a wonderful bonding experience for both Harley and his new person.

If you are interested in meeting Harley, please send us an email and we will send you an adoption applicaton to get the process started.

Please note that Harley’s home should be one with a fully fenced in secure back yard. As well, children should be over the age of 14 years.

Fabulous news! Earl has gone for his last heartworm checkup and is now all clear. Blood tests and heart x-rays confirmed this great news.

EARL’S HISTORY WITH ARRF

Well Earl has done his 6 weeks of limited activity and we have moved him into foster care. As well Earl has been neutered and had a much-needed dental. He is doing very well and is such a spry fellow.

In mid August Earl will be having another heart X-ray and heart worm test – we are all sending positive thoughts Earl’s way for a clean bill of health. He so deserves a break as he has been through so much and is such a trooper.

Thank you so much Jodi for being Earl’s foster mom – we are so appreciative to you

Earl’s story: We rescued Earl from an animal control facility and brought him immediately to our vet clinic to have a thorough health check. The next day we got some very bad news about our sweet boy – he was heartworm positive.

This sweet older fellow ended up as a stray and we suspect that his previous owner(s) knew his health condition and decided to turn Earl out as a stray.

Heartworm is treatable: however, it is very expensive to treat, and it is a painful process requiring a six-week recovery period with ongoing monitoring. We took everything into consideration and we knew that Earl deserves to be given a chance – Earl has a lot of love to give and is a wonderful, sweet, affectionate boy – he deserves someone to step up and help him; he didn’t ask to be owned by irresponsible people .

Earl’s treatment consists of two injections 24 hours apart; he received his first injection on Friday, April 15, 2011 and the second treatment was done on Saturday, April 16, 2011 – he now needs 6 weeks of confined rest which means he needs to be crated and his activity level needs to be kept very low. Please note that heartworm is not contagious; it is only contracted through the bite of a mosquito. It is NOT contracted by saliva, a scratch, sharing the same water and/or food.

ADOPTED – We are so happy to say that our sweet little angel Gina has found her forever home!

We rescued Gina from death row from an animal care facility. Thank you so much Melissa for being Gina’s foster mom and taking this sweet little angel under your wing.

Gina is an excellent little dog. She has settled into her foster home very well. Here’s what Gina’s foster mom has to say about her, “Gina is good with kids, not so much with pocket pets (mice, rats, hamsters, etc). She only barks only when people come home or she hears someone at the door. She has fit in fine with my dogs, even Dexter who tends to be a bit of freight train with smaller dogs around. She plays with Dexter and Dolce, she is good with horses as well. (I brought her up to see my horse Eve the one night I visited her). She is completely house-trained, no accidents. She did get really excited when we brought one of the cats downstairs, but she did settle down and not pay any attention to the cat. Gina is a sweet old girl and has lots of love to give! She is one of the sweetest little girls I’ve ever met and I love having her around!”

We have had Gina fully vetted – she is spayed, up to date with vaccinations, is heart worm negative, micro chipped and has had a full dental. She is ready to find her forever home!

If you are interested in providing Gina with her forever home – please send us an email at deannaaarfrescue@yahoo.ca

Please note Gina’s home must be one with a fully fenced in back yard. As well, children must be over the age of 12 years old due to her small size and vulnerability.

JACKSON is our longest resident of AARF and is patiently waiting for a foster or forever home.

Our beautiful sweet boy is looking for a foster home or (even better) a forever home. Jackson is currently at a boarding kennel and patiently waiting for a new family. Jackson is a young boy who is fun, loving and so eager to please. He is very smart and has now completed obedience training. Jackson is good with other dogs and loves to be with people. Using his obedience training skills, he now walks very well on leash. Jackson would be an awesome companion for someone who is active and could include him in their activities.

Jackson came to us through Animal Control – he was found as a stray. Jackson is a perfect example of poor pet ownership with no structure, routine or obedience training. With patience, love and the necessary training, Jackson has blossomed into a well-mannered boy. We now need to find him a home that can continue his training, give him structure, security and lots of love that he so much deserves.

If you are interested in becoming Jackson’s foster parent(s) or forever home and would like to meet him, please send us an email at deannaaarfrescue@yahoo.ca.

Please note that Jackson’s foster home or forever home should be one with a fully fenced in secure yard and children should be over the age of 14 years due to his large size.

ADOPTED – How wonderful our special girl Anita has found her forever home!

This is our little girl Anita who was rescued from Animal Control. She was found as a stray and was in extremely bad condition. Due to neglect, her coat was severely matted and her skin was raw with open sores. She is feeling so much better now and is currently in foster care. Since her move to a foster home we are now seeing the signs of severe abuse and mistreatment (we believe by a man). She is very scared of men. To overcome the past abuse, Anita will need to be in a quiet home. This will give her reassurance of safety and time to regain her confidence. Even with this past mistreatment, Anita is a very sweet, affectionate and loving little girl who so desperately wants your affection. Anita loves to sit in your lap, follow you around and go for walks. She is currently crate trained when left alone.

If you are looking for a sweet little companion and have the time and love for this little girl, please send us an e-mail at deannaaarfrescue@yahoo.ca

Please note that Anita’s home should be one with a fully secure fenced in yard. As well children should be over the age of 15 years.

ADOPTED – Our boy Pozzo has found his forever home!

Pozzo is a 4-year old Labradoodle who is extremely gentle and loving. Although Pozzo is a little shy when he first meets you, he is a very happy boy who loves to play and go for walks. His favourite play is chasing a ball or frisbee. Pozzo is good with other dogs and will happily greet them and engage in play. He will wrestle, run and chase for hours. Because of his large size (approximately 100 pounds) and being very clumsy, he is best to play with larger dogs. Pozzo loves human companionship and will follow everyone around the house. He is good to be left on his own and is completely house trained (hasnt had any accidents since he was a puppy). He rides very well in the car for extended periods of time. Pozzo walks well on a leash (uses a gentle leader) and knows his basic commands. Pozzo has been fully vet checked and has no health issues.

Pozzo is a very easy-going boy who would do well in most home situations. Pozzo has not spent much time with kids or had cat exposure, so we recommend a home with children over the age of 14 and no cats. His home must be one with a fully fenced in secure yard.

If you have time for this gentle boy and are interested in meeting Pozzo, please send us an email at deannaaarfrescue@yahoo.ca
