"A Very Special Pair"  - posted April 16th, 2008

 

 

The rottie is blind and uses the other dog to help him get around.  these dogs must be adopted together and now I am told that they are on limited time.  Both are up to date on shots but neither are fixed.  They would do best as the only dogs in the family.

"Dallas"  - posted September 18th, 2006, Updated April 2nd, 2008

 

 

My Rottie friend Dallas has been in a boarding kennel for over a month now. Fortunately, the kennel is owned by a friend of mine. Her owner is a young man who is in jail. I have managed to pay the kennel fee, food and now Dallas has a sore paw and I will take her to the vets tomorrow.
 
Dallas is about 5 and as sweet as can be. Her owner is a friend of my sons and because I care so much somehow the responsibility came to me. Dallas's person is worried sick about her and loves her very much. Dallas was left with people (when her owner was arrested) who didn't want her and essentially ignored her. She has had a rough time the last while. I would have her with me in a heartbeat but I have 3 dogs and 7 cats now and no more space or money. All but one of my canine and feline family are rescued so you can see I do help as much as I can.
 
We are in Sooke, B.C. I live a short distance from the kennel. Would you please contact me - Maureen - at 250-885-7083 or via email at queenofchaos@shaw.ca

"Kyia"  - posted November 7th, 2007

 


We got Kyia (5-6 years old) from a rescue group in Edmonton, Alberta in February 2003.  She loves people and all attention.  Kyia is healthy, spayed, titre tests for DHPP were good, and her rabies vaccine is current. She has recently been to the vet and received some chiropractic treatment on some pain in her back after x-rays showed an above average space between her C5 and C6 vertebrae. The vet did not feel that this was anything serious or that would require surgery, just something to keep an eye on. Her teeth have recently been cleaned and scaled, no cavities or extractions required.

Kyia loves the sofa, particularly if she can cuddle with someone on it.  She is affectionate and energetic.  She has the run of a four acre invisible fenced property. She is on the raw food diet: chicken/fruit/veggies from K-9 Choice. She loves to chew on bones and is quite a swimmer when her pool is out. Kyia has climbed into the shower on occasion too.

 



Kyia has had level one obedience with Kevin George of Sentry dogs and is currently enrolled in another obedience class just to refresh us both and to see if we could get a handle on the situation between her and Carter, my German Shepherd. She has gone through poison proofing, also at Sentry, but we abandoned the poison proofing training as my other dog then became afraid of his food and was scared to eat. She is incredibly bright and excels in her classes.

We have three other dogs and had one cat living in our home. She gets along well with the little dobie and the miniature daschund but not our German Shepherd. We are looking to rehome her as she routinely beats up my German Shepherd to the point of several serious surgeries.  Then this past weekend on Saturday night, she killed our cat, Zazu, in our home, on the living room floor while we were out for the evening.  She lived peacefully with no indication of aggression toward Zazu for almost five years and had many times been alone with him or with the other two dogs and nothing to point to the devestation of killing our much loved Zazu.  We do not have children but she has not shown any aggression toward visiting children.

We have had behaviourists come out to assess the situation and their recommendation was to rehome one of them, either Kyia or Carter.  For the past year, I would not consider that option, we both love Kyia very much and she is a family member so for the past year I haved worked with them both to see if there is some way we can achieve harmony and for the most part, it was going well UNTIL she killed Zazu, in the home she shared with him.  Had
this happened while she was outside and Zazu was running around the yard, I could understand, but in our home, that cannot be overlooked.  I can't describe how devestating it was to find Zazu lying dead in his own home where he should have been safe. Now I am fearful for my miniature daschund and for the other cats who inhabit our property.  As well, the last attack on Carter was particularly severe, requiring four surgeries.

Kyia is much loved and will be very much missed but I have looked and my options and there don't seem to be many. I have attached some photographs of her, she is beautiful.

"Max"  - posted September 18th, 2007

 

My name is Michael. I live in Vancouver. I adopted Max from the SPCA in 2003. My life situation has changed dramatically, and I now need to find him a good home. I am relocating to the East Coast and am not able to bring Max.

 



Maximus is a 5 yr old male rottie/mastiff cross. He is superbly healthy, and has been on a raw diet since I got him. He has a wonderful personality, and is a real clown and a gentle loving affectionate spirit at heart. However, he has aggression issues with dogs, cats and potentially with unfamiliar people in situations where he does not feel safe.

I have done extensive work with a dog aggression expert here in Vancouver, whom I would make available to assist whomever adopts Max. He would best suit someone very confident with a great love for the breed, without small children or other pets. I have had great success with behaviour modification/teaching, supported by homeopathy--as opposed to dog obedience/control, to help Max feel safe and calm down.

Max is very good in the home, doesn’t chew and can be left for a solid work day with no separation anxiety.

Please feel free to contact me with any further questions. I chose not to adult vaccinate Max so as to avoid possible vaccinosis. However, he was vet examined in August with a clean bill of health, and titre tested for positive antibodies to Rabies, Diptheria and Parvovirus.

He really is a fantastic dog and I would only give him up to the right owner!

"Suga"  - posted September 18th, 2007

 

 

My name is Amy and I work at the Quesnel SPCA. 

 


Anyway, she was originally a stray to the Prince George SPCA where she was named "Snitch". She was then transferred to our shelter and re-named 'Suga'. She is a senior dog, maybe between 8-10 years old and already spayed. Suga is still quite frisky, though is quite content to hang out in her dog house during the day, watching the world go by. She loves toys and will play tug of war and fetch. She will tolerate other dogs, though she gets grumpy if they are too hyper for her! Suga is a very sweet affectionate lady and would be very happy in a home where she could hang out with her family and go for the occasional stroll! She would probably do better with older kids that respect the fact that she is no longer a puppy, and not wanting to rough house and play ALL of the time.

It breaks my heart to do this, but I have had 3 potentially great homes fall through for her, Keelo is a wonderful dog I have had since I got her at 10 months, she is now 5. She is good with kids and cats...and with time would adjust to other dogs. She knows voice as well as hand commands, and generally listens quite well. She is a very playful girl who loves her toys, treats and clothes. She needs a yard with a fence, but wouldn't jump it. She is quite content to have her own space. She is very good in the house, and would love to sleep at the end of your bed. She loves to go for walks ( she is a strong girl! ) She does need some leash training...She pulls. And she loves the car. She is spayed, with all her shots, including Parvo. Tattoo'd as well. She can be food possessive, but I think that could be overcome in time. She is a wonderful dog who deserves more than I can give her...Please help me...I don't want her to spend the rest of her days in a shelter.

"Kema"  - posted February 7th, 2007

 

 

I have a 7 year old rotti named Kema she is spayed and extremely friendly and great with kids and cats. I am located on Vancouver island  and I am having a really hard time trying to find a place that will allow me to bring her with me to Nanaimo, I don't want to have to give her up but I may need to. I have had her since she was 6 weeks old. She knows all basic commands sit lie down come roll over, squirrel and bacon. She is very vocal and likes to talk when she wants some attention, she enjoys long walks in the woods as long as it is not too cold out as she is starting to get on a bit in the years.  I just had her vet checked today and she is in extremely good health , she is 83.2  pounds of snuggling and loving. She sleeps in bed with me loves to cuddle and hang to on the couch while am away at work. As I said the only reason I am trying to find her a home is I am having difficulty finding suitable a home for her and I.  The last thing I want to do is give up my baby she has never been mistreated and has a very even temper her only bad quality is she barks when you leave the house to some it is quite intimidating but I think it is her way of saying don't leave me behind. Other then that she is very good she has been well socialized over the years with other dogs , I have two nieces that adore her as well and they can walk by her food bowl  etc. and she doesn't let out a peep. She is a very loving and loyal companion and I will keep trying to find a home for her and I as well  but if u hear anything please don't hesitate to call me (James) at 1-250-334-3140 or jwe69@hotmail.com.   I am located in Courtenay on Vancouver island.

"Nia"  - posted November 13th, 2006, Updated February 7th, 2007

 

 

UPDATE:  Nia was spayed in November due to the generosity of Colleen of Canine Connections here in the Okanagan.  I feel an adoption fee made out to Canine Connections would be fair in light of her willingness to come forward with the money to have Nia spayed.

 

 

Comments from her current foster mom:

 

My daughter calls Nia, the "lovebug".  She is absolutely wonderful in almost all ways.  She had just finished a heat when I got her (her teats were still swollen).  It's 3 months later and she is just coming out of another heat.  I have wavered about re-homing her because she is so sweet and eager to please, and I worry that she'll end up in the wrong hands.  I had told her previous owners after a month or so that I had decided to keep her.  The reason I am writing to each of you today is because I have come to accept that I don't have the resources to get her the specialized training that I believe she needs and I don't have enough experience to train her myself with regard to her issues.  I also cannot afford extra vet bills. 

 

When fostering dogs that have been rescued, their food and vetting is covered by whichever organization I am fostering for and I'm able to provide a safe loving foster home.

 

She is wonderful with people and strangers. She would be best in a home with either older children, or no children. She is patient, obedient, tolerant, loving, calm and quiet.  Her previous owners tell me her name means "purpose" in one of the African languages.

 

She spent most of her life tied up as an outside dog 24/7, as her previous owners mentioned below.  They had tried to find new owners for her, but weren't satisfied with the people they had screened.  They were referred to me as I foster rescued dogs.  I provided them with references which they checked out and were confident that she would be in good hands with me. 

 

I was fostering another dog (I own a SPCA adoptee myself) at the time and was able to take Nia in before her time ran out because the other dog I was fostering had been found a good home.  Also for another dog I was fostering (which was a senior), I was able to find someone to foster her for me.  I'm fairly familiar with Rotties as far as having been around them quite a bit, with certain family members and friends owning them.  I've never owned one myself.

 

Since she's been with us, she's never been tied and roams freely in my fenced backyard playing with my dog.  She's now a house dog and loves it.  I have a large back yard with a solid cedar 6'6" fence.  Nia is a digger - to freedom.  She has dug under my fence and escaped twice (prior to going into heat).  She didn't go far, just seemed to want out, even crawling back under once to return to the yard.  I work full time and both escapes happened while I was at work.  I have since barricaded the bottom of my fence as much as possible, although she has gotten past most barricades I've tried.  Logs, boulders, chicken wire, etc.  My home has been for sale since the summer (I may have it sold), and so this presented somewhat of a challenge as I tried to keep the fence-line looking appealing to the eye.

 

Her issues I mentioned are related to her unpredictability with other animals.  My dog who is a laid back lab/pitbull/?Dane/?Ridgeback X, is alpha to her.  He's only alpha when he has to be, and submits to other dogs who are more alpha - however, Nia submits to him which is a good thing as she is very dominant, strong and territorial.

 

She behaves very aggressively to other dogs, at least initially - although she will gradually accept certain dogs.  She may have a particular aversion to female dogs.  But she's so strong and so fast that I worry that I'll have a nasty situation on my hands.  I don't think she is good with cats.

 

Another issue she has is her territorial-ness in certain situations.  She's extremely possessive of anything she feels belongs to her.  For example, I take her collar off, she goes crazy until she gets it back around her neck, unless I hide it out of sight.  That's not a problem, but if she has a toy or object that she has claimed, she will growl and snarl and curl her lips if anyone comes near.  She has done this to me a few times and I will stand calmly over her firmly saying "no", "release", and after a few minutes, I will walk a few paces away and call her to me.  She'll come without the object and lie at my feet.  

 

She has also done this with her food occasionally.  The same behaviour on my part resolves the issue, and then I remove the object for a time.  In the case of toys I put them away.  We don't give them toys much as it will lead to a fight.  My dog only wants a toy when someone else has it, and he has pinned Nia when he gets tired of her behaviour.  At which time she submits and leaves the toy alone.  He then walks away.  You probably have more insight into this behaviour than I do. 

 

For the most part, she will surrender (release) objects to me or allow me to remove them from her mouth.  But when she acts like that, I won't try to remove the object from her.  I will stand over here, reprimanding her firmly and then call her away to me after I've moved away from the object.

 

Please contact Catherine at sunlite1@telus.net  She is located in Armstrong, B.C.

 

 

"Rosie"  - posted October 12th, 2006, Updated October 16th, 2006

 

The 80 year old lady (Tina) down the street from me was hospitalized a few months back and it appears that she won’t be coming home.  Since she’s been in the hospital, a group of neighbors have been taking care of Rosie, but unfortunately, we all already have dogs and just not ready to take on another.

All we really know about Rosie is that she’s a mild mannered senior with arthritis.  When Tina used to walk Rosie and my husband and I would approach them with our 3 dogs, she didn’t even seem to pay attention to them.  What she’s like around cats, I don’t know.

As far as I know, the government has already taken Tina’s house and they don’t care about Rosie.

Please contact Shirley at bahwho@dccnet.com for information on Rosie

Mickey has gone to stay with a local family until she finds her forever home. Please contact us for more information about Mickey or to set up a meeting with her and her foster family.

Mickey was surrendered to the Delta Humane Society as her dad was moving over-seas. She is a chubby, chunky 9 year old rottie with a splash of shepherd. She is low-key, easy-going and oh so charming. She has beautiful brown eyes that melt your heart. Mickey is a soulful sweetie who did not deserve to be stuck in a cold shelter this winter. She is good with dogs, house-trained, and ever hopeful that she won't be here a long time. Mickey has some hip dysplasia which she is currently on Metacam for. This should improve as she loses weight. If interested in fostering or adopting Mickey we would love to hear from you!

"Vera"  - posted August 3rd, 2006

Vera is very friendly and affectionate. She is gentle and easygoing.
Vera may be prone to seperation anxiety, so will need to get used to spending time alone slowly a few minutes at a time. It's advisable that early on, you leave for brief periods extremely often so that she learns when you leave, you are coming back. Giving her physical and mental exercise to work on will help decrease the dependance on human social contact as the sole stimulation (eg: soften your departure by providing her with exciting stuffed toys to unpack while you are gone, or stuffed kongs). Reward and praise good behavior, ignore whining and barking.
Vera is nervous around other dogs. She should be introduced slowly to dogs and rewarded for relaxed behavior and play.

Dog training classes will benefit Vera.  Vera needs to be with people and part of the family. She is not to be kept outside, but inside with everyone else.
It is not recommended that Vera go to a home with young kids, as she is somewhat handshy and will startle easily. Desensitizing Vera to hand movements will help greatly. Calm, mature, older kids should be okay.

"Cohan"  - posted August 3rd, 2006

I bet Cohan is everything you've always wanted. I find hime to be sweet, gentle and a calm personality. He walked well on leash with little, to no pulling, knew how to sit, shake a paw (and will shake both if asked, although his video shows otherwise!), and lie down. He loves leisurely walks, especially in a trail-like setting and appears to enjoy making new doggy and human friends.
He didn't mind being bathed outside, as he put up with two baths with lots of suds. He doesn't, however, like to get into a pool of water and get his paws wet!! We tried to entice him into the pool with treats (which he loves), but he would put one paw forward and as soon as it touched the water, he backed it out of there in a hurry. : )
Cohan is a big cuddle bug with tons of love to give. He will need a family who can take him for short, yet regular walks to help him lose some of his weight, as he is a tad bit on the heavy side. He also has an old injury in one of his back legs and this does hinder his freedom of movement somewhat.


His tail is docked quite shorter than most other Rottweilers I've seen, to the point where he has almost no stub. Yet, when he gets excited and he 'wags his tail', his whole back end wiggles in the cutest way!
Cohan was a dream to have walked two days in a row and will make a wonderful addition to a home who is looking for a well-deserving dog to love and cherish.

She would however prefer to be the only dog in her household so she can have all the attention. Katie would do well in a quiet home with no small children due to lack of history. She would be great for a retired couple, she is our sweet little senior looking to be your new faithful companion.

"Miles"  - posted August 3rd, 2006

 

MILES was given up by his owners when they no longer felt they could give him what he needed to succeed. He is a very happy boy with a happy fun loving attitude. He has had no formal training yet but would do great with obedience training, he's a smart puppy! He has been a house dog and is housebroken. He gets along with his new senior foster brothers and sister although they think he's a little too playful. He will listen to their signals to back off. According to his previous owner he has been around cats and ignores them. He is a little shy in new situations but quickly recovers from it.

TINY is big on the outside and an even bigger baby on the inside. You would never guess this gentle giant was so calm or patient. Tiny knows commands and responds to sit and stand and stay. He is healthy, hearty and ready to party.

"Bella"  - posted August 3rd, 2006

 

Bella, and her pal Rocky were found by the side of a rural road, in our vastly rural county. They seemed to be just waiting for their owners to come and pick them up. The people in the neighborhood soon realized that they were dumped. They gave them water and food, and tried finding their owners. Once they realized no one was coming back for these wonderful dogs, they called us, and we were happy to give them a place to be until we could find them new, “Forever” homes. Bella is a beautiful Rottweiler mix female, about 1-3 yrs. Old. She is a great ball player. If you have a large yard, with young children for her to play with, she will be your pal forever. She will play ball all day if she could. This dog is just a joy to be around. She gets along well with other dogs, and is good with small children. She’s been spayed, vaccinated, wormed, had her nails trimmed, and advantage applied, and is ready to go home today. Come and meet this happy-go-lucky girl, you’ll be glad you did. Bella is a medium to large Rott mix, weighing about 70-75 lbs. Call or email is today to set an appointment to meet Bella.

"Bronco"  - posted August 3rd, 2006

 

Don't be put-off by Bronco's large size", he is a very intelligent dog, and is currently been tough the basics: "Heal, Sit, Walk" which he is learning rather quickly. Bronco is a young, strong, and very intelligent dog. He would make a good watch dog, and even though he is a large dog, he walks well on a leash. He is now neutered, and vaccinations are current. He is very good with people, and can be very protective so a home without other animals is a must. A home with small children is also not recommended. The ideal home for Bronco will be that with a handler that is physically strong, or someone that will take the dominant role, and is used to handle large breeds. A fenced yard is required to contain, and exercise him. Daily walks are highly recommended to keep him happy. Rottweiler tend to be a one-owner's pet, love, and protects his family but are not tolerant of strangers. An adoption application is required to adopt this pet. Please request an application by e-mailing us at pets2love@coastaccess.com

"Minnie"  - posted August 3rd, 2006

 

'Minnie' is a beautiful 9 month old female Rotti x. Like 'Geo' , Minnie too was sadly put up for adoption. In Minnie's case, her owner had no time to train or take care of her the way she deserved. Minnie is a very nice little girl who needs a good family who will take the time to train her up and love her as part of the family. Due to her fun loving spirit she's great with other dogs and kids too. Minnie has been tied up outside most of the time and would do well with a fenced property so that she can just run and play.

HOW COULD YOU?
By Jim Willis 2001


  When I was a puppy, I entertained you with my antics and made you laugh. You called me your child, and despite a number of chewed shoes and a couple of murdered throw pillows, I became your best friend. Whenever I was "bad,"
you'd shake your finger at me and ask "How could you?" - but then you'd relent, and roll me over for a bellyrub.


  My housebreaking took a little longer than expected, because you were terribly busy, but we worked on that together. I remember those nights of nuzzling you in bed and listening to your confidences and secret dreams, and I believed that life could not be any more perfect. We went for long walks and runs in the park, car rides, stops for ice cream (I only got the cone because "ice cream is bad for dogs," you said), and I took long naps in the sun waiting for you to come home at the end of the day.


  Gradually, you began spending more time at work and on your career, and more time searching for a human mate. I waited for you patiently, comforted you through heartbreaks and disappointments, never chided you about bad decisions, and romped with glee at your home comings, and when you fell in love. She, now your wife, is not a "dog person" -still I welcomed her into our home, tried to show her affection, and obeyed her.


  I was happy because you were happy. Then the human babies came along and I shared your excitement. I was fascinated by their pinkness, how they smelled, and I wanted to mother them, too. Only she and you worried that I might hurt them, and I spent most of my time banished to another room, or to a dog crate. Oh, how I wanted to love them, but I became a "prisoner of love."


  As they began to grow, I became their friend. They clung to my fur and pulled themselves up on wobbly legs, poked fingers in my eyes, investigated my ears, and gave me kisses on my nose. I loved everything about them and their touch - because your touch was now so infrequent - and I would have defended them with my life if need be. I would sneak into their beds and listen to their worries and secret dreams, and together we waited for the sound of your car in the driveway.


  There had been a time, when others asked you if you had a dog, that you produced a photo of me from your wallet and told them stories about me. These past few years, you just answered "yes" and changed the subject. I had gone from being "your dog" to "just a dog," and you resented every expenditure on my behalf.


  Now, you have a new career opportunity in another city, and you and they will be moving to an apartment that does not allow pets. You've made the right decision for your "family," but there was a time when I was your only family.


  I was excited about the car ride until we arrived at the animal shelter. It smelled of dogs and cats, of fear, of hopelessness. You filled out the paperwork and said "I know you will find a good home for her." They shrugged and gave you a pained look. They understand the realities facing a middle-aged dog, even one with "papers."


  You had to pry your son's fingers loose from my collar as he screamed "No, Daddy! Please don't let them take my dog!" And I worried for him, and what lessons you had just taught him about friendship and loyalty, about love and responsibility, and about respect for all life. You gave me a good-bye pat on the head, avoided my eyes, and politely refused to take my collar and leash with you.


  You had a deadline to meet and now I have one, too. After you left, the two nice ladies said you probably knew about your upcoming move months ago and made no attempt to find me another good home. They shook their heads and asked.... "How could you?"


  They are as attentive to us here in the shelter as their busy schedules allow. They feed us, of course, but I lost my appetite days ago. At first, whenever anyone passed my pen, I rushed to the front, hoping it was you - that you had changed your mind - that this was all a bad dream... or I hoped it would at least be someone who cared..... anyone who might save me.


  When I realized I could not compete with the frolicking for attention of happy puppies, oblivious to their own fate, I retreated to a far corner and waited. I heard her footsteps as she came for me at the end of the day, and I padded along the aisle after her to a separate room. A blissfully quiet room. She placed me on the table and rubbed my ears, and told me not to worry.


  My heart pounded in anticipation of what was to come, but there was also a sense of relief. The "prisoner of love" had run out of days. As is my nature, I was more concerned about her. The burden which she bears weighs heavily on her, and I know that, the same way I knew your every mood.


  She gently placed a tourniquet around my foreleg as a tear ran down her cheek. I licked her hand in the same way I used to comfort you so many years ago. She expertly slid the hypodermic needle into my vein. As I felt the sting and the cool liquid coursing through my body, I lay down sleepily, looked into her kind eyes and murmured "How could you?"


  Perhaps because she understood my dogspeak, she said "I'm so sorry." She hugged me, and hurriedly explained it was her job to make sure I went to a better place, where I wouldn't be ignored or abused or abandoned, or have to fend for myself - a place of love and light so very different from this earthly place. With my last bit of energy, I tried to convey to her with a thump of my tail that my "How could you?" was not directed at her. It was you, My Beloved Master, I was thinking of. I will think of you and wait for you forever. May everyone in your life continue to show you so much loyalty.


The End - Jim Wllis


   ** A note from the author:
  If "How Could You?" brought tears to your eyes as you read it, as it did to mine as I wrote it, it is because it is the composite story of the millions of formerly owned pets who die each year in American and Canadian animal shelters.
