NEBTR Updates

So in an effort to let people know what is going on with the fosters that I am helping to find homes for... here we go.

Timothy found his forever home 2 weeks ago now I believe. A man in the same town he was being fostered in, fell in love with him and adopted him. I love happy endings : )

Tiffany and I are still looking for Cassie's perfect home. We've had a few apps that we've liked but for one reason or another they haven't worked out. Supposedly there are a few more coming through, so hopefully, the right home is out there. If you think you are the right forever home for Cassie, please fill out an app and send it in!

I've recently started helping arrange home checks and eventually I will be helping with arranging transports as well. I've gained such a new respect and appreciation for all a rescue does since I've been more involved in the process. There is sooo much that goes on behind the scenes!
The first HC I arranged is scheduled for today, so hopefully it will go well and Ginger will have a forever home too!
There are so many great dogs in rescues and shelters, if you're considering a dog, please at least consider this option!
We have quite a few dogs that are getting ready for their forever homes, hopefully the next few weeks will be full of home checks and placements!

Timothy & Cassie

So my brother made a valid point in one of our conversations recently: He said that I don't post about the dogs that I help find homes for with NEBTR so he doesn't know about them. So here they are.

Timothy is a young dog from a Lancaster puppy mill. He is about 11 pounds now. He was recently neutered and had his teeth cleaned and some rotten ones pulled. He's a nice little guy who gets along well with other dogs but would do fine alone as well as he likes to be top dog (but he will back down.) He loves his crate and goes in easily when asked. He tires easily but is generally a happy little boy who will cuddle on any piece of blanket or towel that he can get a hold of : ) He's learning how to play and is learning how to walk on a leash. He is not completely potty trained but is getting better every day! He's being fostered up in Rochester NY and is hoping for a forever family really soon!

I don't have a picture of Timothy but will post one when I get one.

The next few pictures are of sweet Cassie





Cassie is the other dog that I am currently helping by going through some applications and helping Tiffany out. She too is a Lancaster puppy mill dog and she is currently being fostered over in York PA. She is a sweet little girl who has some issues with men, but I believe with time could over come that with the right family. Her foster mom is looking for a woman or small family that has the time to give to this sweetie. Nick, Tink and I have had the privilege to meet her and spend time with her! She is a love and snuggled with Tink between Tiff and me on the couch. She is currently working on beating a bladder infection. As a result potty training is tough, but Tiffany reports that she is showing a LOT of improvement over the past few days. Cassie is scheduled to be spayed in late February.

So these are the dogs that I'm helping with right now. Several more mills dogs have come through in the past few days...there never seems to be an end. NEBTR helped 117 dogs last year. I hope fewer dogs need NEBTR this year. And now I am off to look at applications for these guys!
