Dog of the week: Phoebe!

Meet Phoebe!

Phoebe is a sweet 2-3 year old Terrier mix. Phoebe came to us from a shelter in Ohio where she was picked up as a stray. Actually, she was picked up as a stray TWICE, but the second time her owner decided they didn't feel like coming to pick her up, so she was placed up for adoption.

Phoebe is very friendly and puppy-like. She gets along well with calm, submissive dogs, but is not a big fan of cats. It is unknown whether Phoebe would be ok with young kids (she tends to jump up during play and could hurt a very young child), but older, dog-savvy children would be fine. Her foster home thinks that she might like some kids to play with outside in a fenced, secure yard to get some of her energy out.

Phoebe is happy to run and play outside, but is also happy and quiet indoors. She loves to sleep on the couch next to you or on the floor by your feet, and is a well-behaved, easy-going girl.

Phoebe needs a bit of work on her manners and basic training (not jumping up, playing gently), and needs some work on-leash (she loves walks but tends to pull a bit), but overall she is a great, easy dog that is waiting for her forever family to come along. Could you be them?

If you would like to submit an application to adopt Phoebe, visit her Petfinder profile, or visit or website.

Happy adopting!

Foster update - November 15, 2010

Wondering what dogs are new to rescue and who has recently found their forever home? This weekly update is your key to keeping track of LOYAL's adoptable dogs!

NEW ARRIVALS

* We recently took in a number of small Yorkies as owner surrenders, so stay tuned for more details as they all settle into foster care. Some already have profiles posted, and are noted below *


Belinda
Belinda is a 3-year-old female Yorkie that was recently surrendered to rescue. Belinda is a friendly but shy girl who is good with other dogs and cats, and would probably be fine with kids. She is learning to not be scared of loud noises, and needs some work on her confidence. Overall though, she is a happy, sweet girl that would make a great companion.


Dudley
Dudley is a 4-year-old male Shih Tzu. Dudley is good with dogs and would be ok with older children (12+), but should not go to a home with cats. Dudley has not had a good start to life and should go to a calm, quiet, patient home where he will get tons of love and attention, and where he can live the rest of his days out in a stree-free environment. He can be protective of his foster mom, but does also enjoy the company of his foster dad. He is improving every day!


Jolie
Jolie is a senior (10+) female Yorkie that came to us recently from a Louisiana puppy mill. Jolie is a sweet little cuddle bug that is good with other small dogs and would be fine with kids as long as they were respectful of her age and size - she's only 6 lbs., after all! It is unknown whether Jolie is ok with cats, but she probably would be fine. Despite a really horrible life to-date, Jolie loves cuddles and attention, and will bounce around until you pick her up. She is a friendly girl who is looking for a loving family to protect her and make her final years ones where she does not have to live in a cage anymore.


Mitsy
Mitsy is a 2-year-old female Yorkie that came into rescue along with Belinda (noted above) and a few other Yorkies. Mitsy is shy and a bit nervous still, but is settling into her foster home well. She is good with other dogs and would be ok with older, respectful kids. Cats are unknown art this time. Stay tuned for more info on Mitsy as she settles into rescue.


Monty
Monty is a young male Toy Poodle who came to us from the local SPCA. Monty is shy but sweet, and is fine with dogs. Monty should go to an adult-only home, or a home with adult children. Monty was hit by a car before being taken to the SPCA, but is now on the mend in his foster home. He has had little exposure to men, but has expressed a dislike for them at this time. The ideal home for Monty would be an adult-only home with women, or where there is a man that can be very patient and understanding with him, giving him time to trust and get comfortable in his new surroundings. Dog experience is a must with Monty!


Vicky
Vicky isn't exactly new, but she was returned to rescue last week. Vicky is a 3-year-old female Chihuahua, originally from a Quebec shelter. Vicky originally arrived to rescue in 2008, had puppies, and was adopted in 2009. She was returned due to "allergies". Vicky is a sweet girl who loves cuddles and kisses, and to sleep under the covers with you at night. Vicky is housetrained and loves to go for walks. She would do well in an apartment or home, and is good with other dogs and cats. Only older children though - Vicky is very shy of strangers and requires a very patient owner who can work on her confidence building!


ADOPTED

The following dogs have recently been lucky enough to find their forever homes with loving families. Lucky them!

- Vienna
- Toto

PENDING

Adoptions are currently pending for Mya's Molly, Bailey, Scruff McGruff, Ruby, Adorable Rose, Gypsy, Noah, and Sparky.

Dog of the week: Vicky!

Victoria (aka Vicky) is a 3-year-old tan Chihuahua. Vicky originally came to LOYAL in 2008 from a Quebec shelter as she was pregnant and very shy of people. After having and raising her adorable babies (and after they all found their forever homes), little Vicky was adopted in early 2010. Unfortunately Vicky's family discovered too late that they were horribly allergic to her, and after 8 months in their home, Vicky was again returned to rescue.

Vicky is a very shy girl when she first meets you, but once she knows that you are a good person and mean her no harm, she is all cuddles and kisses. Vicky loves to be with her humans, and does quite well with other dogs (as long as they are gentle with her) and cats. She cuddles with her foster brother (a 45 lb. Terrier mix - also a former LOYAL dog!) at night unless, of course, she is sleeping under the covers with her foster parents!


Vicky is 100% house-trained and very trustworthy when left alone. She is great on a leash and loves to go for walks. She is a sturdy 9 lbs., and has the sweetest little droopy right ear.

Vicky would do best in a home with adults only, or in a home with grown children that understand that she is very timid and fearful, and can run and hide when she feels threatened. Vicky is not a biter, but caution should be taken around small children as she is quite afraid of strangers, and being handled when she is fearful could add undue stress to her life. She is good in an apartment or a home (but would require a very secure yard with a fence). In short, Vicky is a pretty sweet, loving girl who just needs some patience and understanding while she adjusts to new surroundings. Once she trusts you, you'll be her best friend.

If you think you can provide a stable, quiet, loving home to Vicky, please submit an application through our website, or contact her foster mom directly for more information at grace@loyalrescue.com. Vicky's foster mom also keeps a blog about all her foster animals - Vicky included! - which you are welcome to visit.

Happy adopting!

Dog of the Week: Moses!

Meet Mr. Moses!

Moses is a 10-year-old male Chihuahua who is in need of a loving forever home. This sweet little man is good with dogs and kids, and is fine with most cats. He is a super sweet guy that landed himself in an Ohio shelter in November 2009. Moses made the long trek to Toronto and is now living with one of our fantastic volunteers; he has been here for a year, and we can't believe he hasn't been snatched up yet!

Moses loves dogs - especially big dogs! - and gives his Chihuahua foster sister lots of kisses every day. What an affectionate guy! Despite his age, Moses is in tip-top health, and only takes some supplements for his arthritis. Don't let his senior status fool you; he still has a ton of years of love left!

Moses has made huge strides in his foster home over the last year, but he still holds out hope that his forever family is out there looking for him. He is trying to wait patiently but he's SO excited to meet them; wherever they are!

If you think you can provide a loving home to Moses for the rest of his days, and want tons of love and kisses in return, submit an application through our website, or e-mail us for more information at info@loyalrescue.com.
