Dog of the week: Rudy!

Check out handsome Rudy!!


Rudy is a 6-year-old male Schnauzer.  He is healthy, neutered and up-to-date with all of his shots.

This is Rudy's second time being Dog of the Week.  Can you believe that no one adopted him the first time around? We can't!  Rudy has been in rescue going on a year now, but he is still being patient as he knows that his forever home is out there somewhere.


Rudy is a sweet, loving guy who will make an amazing addition to the right now.  Because of some fear-based aggression, Rudy does require an experienced home that has dealt with similar issues before.  Rudy is a bit shy around strangers, but comes around quickly with time and patience.

Rudy is good with smaller dogs, but should not be in a home with cats or children.


When Rudy isn't hanging with his foster sister, a former LOYALite herself, he loves going for walks and camping. 

To submit an application to adopt Rudy, visit our website, visit Rudy's blog for more adorable photos, or send us an e-mail for more information.

Dog of the week: Alphie!

Arrrooooooooo! Handsome man alert!


Check out adorable Alphie! He is a neutered male Beagle and Basset Hound mix, the best of both worlds! Alphie is a 7-year-old love bug; a sweet, cuddly guy!

Alphie gets along well with the other dogs in his foster home, and also enjoys the company of cats and children! Sounds like a pretty laid-back guy, if I do say so myself.


Alphie currently resides in Peterborough, ON, though he originally came to us from a Kentucky shelter where he somehow landed himself on an urgent list. Luckily, a hound-loving LOYAL volunteer rescued him, and the rest (so far) is history!

To learn more about Alphie, send us an e-mail at info@loyalrescue.com, or submit an application for adopton through our website.

Alphie is waiting for you!

I'M BAAAAAACK!

Unfortunately {Stella}'s forever home did not turn out to be so 'forever' after all, and she has been returned to rescue through no fault of her own. Stella is an adorable, sweet-natured, friendly, outgoing girl who is good with dogs, cats and kids. Stella requires a home with a fenced yard, no more than 4-5 hours alone/day (she's just a pup!), and would prefer a small doggie companion to play and cuddle with as she has energy and then some to spare!. Check out Stella's blog at for more info on Stella, who is being fostered in Mississauga, ON.



NEW ARRIVALS


{Mojo} is a 2-year-old, male Chihuahua/Terrier mix who is scruffy and adorable! His foster mom says that his fur sparkles, and she's pretty sure he's part unicorn! hehe Mojo is a sweet guy who is good with other dogs and would be fine with older, respectful kids. The jury is still out on how he feels about cats, but there are cats in his foster home, so we should know more soon. Mojor is currently being fostered in Ottawa, ON.



ADOPTED

{Dolly} the Chihuahua was lucky enough to find her forever home this week! Congratulations!

I'M BAAAAAACK!

Unfortuantely Baby Boy Jackson has been returned to rescue through no fault of his own. His adoptive family did not turn out to be his forever family, so he is back in foster care and very happy to see his foster parents and siblings again. Jackson, the sweet Chi mix, is still searching for a family! He would do best in a home with an active family, and with another dog of similar age and stamina to play and bond with.


NEW ARRIVALS

Lady Gaga is an adorable, active 9-month-old female Pug-Chihuahua mix (a Chug!). She is friendly and outgoing, and loves to play! Lady Gaga gets along well with other dogs, cats and kids, and is currently being fostered in Scarborough, ON.


Little Bear is a 5-month-old male Golden-Husky mix who was picked up as a stray in Quebec. Little Bear is a friendly, active pup who enjoys the company of other dogs. He is good with cats and kids, and would love to be adopted into an active home who is looking for a big, cuddly goof ball to join their family! He is currently being fostered near Picton, ON.


Peppi is a 5-7-year-old male Chihuahua who came to us as an owner surrender. While he is shy with new people, he is very loving and is happy being carried around and always being with his people. He is good with other dogs and cats, and would do best with older children due to his tiny size. Peppi's Baltimore, ON foster home reports that he's a quiet, calm boy who just wants a lap to curl up in!

Dog of the week: Shelley!

Sweet, sweet Shelley is an adorable 12-year-old Yorkie who spent her entire life being mistreated by humans in a puppy mill. Until she came into rescue last year, Shelley's only interaction with humans was when they needed something from her - puppies!

Now Shelley is in a loving foster home where she is receiving the affection and positive attention that she so deserves. Shelley is a special needs girl as she is deaf, and because of this we recommend a home without small children as sudden movements can, understandably, frighten her. Shelley does respond to hand signals when she can see you, and would do best with a yard that is fenced, or with someone that can keep her on-leash at all times since she is unable to hear you calling her.

Shelley gets along with the other dogs in her foster home, as well as cats, but would prefer a mature, quiet home where she can relax and snooze her days away on a warm lap or dog bed.

**Please note that due to her age and the health risks with same, Shelley was not spayed when she came into rescue, and should not be spayed by her adopters**

Shelley is a relaxed, easy-going girl who just needs a safe, stable home to spend the remainder of her years in being pampered and loved. Could you be the lucky home to welcome Shelley into your family?

Shelley is waiting patiently to hear from you! For more information, please send us an e-mail at info@loyalrescue.com, or submit an application through our website.

Happy adopting!

Foster update - March 1, 2011



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!

WE'RE BAAAAAACK!

Look who's back! Ok so she's not new, per se, but unfortunately Sassy's former home didn't turn out to be her forever home through not fault of her own, and she is again seeking her forever family. Sassy just couldn't stay away! Sassy is an adorable (clearly, look at that mug!) Pekingese pup, just under 1 year of age, who enjoys the company of other dogs and loves to romp around her foster parents' yard. You can visit Sassy's blog for more information! Sassy is now being fostered in Ottawa, ON.


Remember Baby? Well Baby is an adorable 10-year-old senior male Chihuahua who has been adopted and returned to rescue because his owners were no longer able to care for him. Through no fault of his own, Baby now needs a new forever family! Baby is awfully tired of being passed around and would love nothing more than a family who is committed to adopting him and loving him for the remainder of his days. Could you be that family? Baby is waiting patiently in Uxbridge, ON!



NEW ARRIVALS

Baby is a 3-year-old female Beagle who came to us recently from a puppy mill situation in the U.S. Baby is a very laid-back girl who gets along with dogs, cats and kids, and who would love to be the newest addition to your family. Baby is shy with new people due to her puppy mill life to-date, but once she gets to know you she is all cuddles and snoozes! Baby is currently being fostered in Twinsburg, OH, and transport will be arranged to Ontario once a forever family is chosen.


Benny is a 1-year-old male Schnauzer mix who, like Baby above, came to us from a mill in Ohio. Benny is a lovely boy who is fond of other dogs, cats and kids, and who is crate and house trained to boot! Benny is a shaggy, playful pup who, his foster mom reports, is always smiling and full of happiness despite his rough start to life. Benny would love to be a part of your family, so don't delay, submit an application today! Benny is currently being fostered in Twinsburg, OH, and transport will be arranged to Ontario once a forever family is chosen.


Lucy is a 1-year-old female Schnauzer mix who is the sister to Benny (above). Lucy also came from an Ohio mill, and she is now searching for her perfect forever family. Much like Benny, Lucy is a happy, friendly girl who likes dogs, cats and kids, and who would make a great addition to your family. Lucy is crate trained and is almost 100% house trained (not bad!), and she would love a fenced yard to romp in and get lots of much-needed exercise. Lucy is currently being fostered in Twinsburg, OH, and transport will be arranged to Ontario once a forever family is chosen.


Mindy is a lovely 1-year-old female Border Collie-Lab mix who came from the same mill as Baby, Benny and Lucy (above). Mindy is a sweet, calm girl who enjoys the company of other dogs and cats, and who would do best with older (10+) kids. Because of Mindy's upbringing in the mill, she can be a tad food possessive, which her foster home is working on, but this is why older kids only will be considered. Mindy is playful and her foster mom describes her as "the smartest dogs she has ever fostered"! Could you be the lucky, active family to snag this girl? Mindy is currently being fostered in Twinsburg, OH, and transport will be arranged to Ontario once a forever family is chosen.



ADOPTED

{Mina} the Terrier mix, {Moses} the Chihuahua, {Peanuts} the Papillon, {Scruffy} and {Stumpy} the Yorkshire Terriers, and {Jimmy} the Silky Terrier were lucky enough to find their forever homes this past week! Congratulations!

Well done everyone!
