About Nate-Adopted! | |

UPDATE: Nate went home! He was the last of our WV mange puppies. He found a great home with a doting mom & a big yard to run & play in. He checked out his new home from corner to corner & was very excited to move in. It was definitely worth the wait!
UPDATE: Update: Nate is enjoying his first spring. Everything is new to him. He was even barking at my daughter’s soccer ball laying in the yard. He is completely housetrained & is becoming pretty trustworthy out of his crate. He’s a sweet puppy who loves to play with dogs & kids. He still has the puppy bounce when he runs & plays. He is a great pup waiting for a great new home!
Update:
Nate continues to impress me with his sweet & lovable personality. He's
great with my two children. He knows how to "sit" & "lay down" & we're
working on "stay". When I give him a bath he is so good & patient too.
This will be his first spring & I can tell he enjoys being outside in the
warmer weather. He just sat there & watched the robins hop around the
yard looking for worms. He's becoming quite handsome with his Border
Collie markings although I don't think his hair will be long. He's
waiting patiently for his forever home! Come meet him at the next Mingle
With Our Mutts!
UPDATE from Nate's Foster Mom:
Nate is going to be a gorgeous dog! He is active but my two kids have fun
playing with him. He also loves to play with my dog & seems to look to
her for guidance. His house breaking is going well. He is great overnight
in his crate - no accidents or whining. He follows me right at my feet
when I'm outside with him. He could probably learn to heel easily! He has
a great temperament and would add many smiles & laughter to a family of
his own.
We would like to introduce our three new "shelter pups" that just arrived from our favorite shelter in WV, Wetzel.
This is our big, sweet roly-poly Nate. He looks very much like a border collie with his markings. I don't know his mix is. He and his sister Noreen have the same thick, extremely soft heavy,c urly coat.
Again, we will have to recommend he can only be adopted by a family who is experienced with both border collies AND heavy coats due to shedding. He is a fun pup to watch out in the yard.
DE Puppy Rescue took four of them and we took three because they all have Demodectic Mange. It's not contagious to humans or other animals, but as you can see it's not too pretty. I'm sure the pups are feeling very uncomfortable. We do have to treat them with a special bath and topical cream for about a month. They will be good as new and their hair will grow back. This will just be a distant memory a month from now.
We're accepting adoption applications but they will require that their medication continues for a few more weeks. If interested please read our adoption policies first, and if qualified, fill out our online adoption application.
These (7) pups were transported to Delaware- (4) went to Delaware Puppy www.DelawarePuppyRescue.com and 3 are with us.
PLEASE NOTE:
Puppy Adoption Policies:
* We do not place puppies in homes where they will be left alone all day. Part-time employment is ok. Puppies, like babies, need lots of attention, socialization, and cuddles. We do not feel that it is humane to leave them in a crate for 8-10 hours at a time.
* An installed fence is mandatory if there are children in the home. The Invisible Fence companies give a discount to people who adopt from rescues. The fence must be installed before an adoption application will be processed. There are no exceptions to this.
* We will only adopt puppies to people who have had PRIOR personal puppy raising experience. This policy is due to people wanting puppies, then finding out just how much work they really are, and then returning them or worse, dropping them off to shelters.
* We also can no longer adopt puppies/dogs to people who have children under (8) years old UNLESS the children have been raised with puppies and dogs all their lives. This policy has been made necessary due to having our pups returned after the novelty wore off. We're told it's because they have been "nipping" at the kids. That is what puppies do and we need to find our pups homes with people who understand and expect this as "normal" behavior.
From Wetzel West Virginia:
Marleen,
Can you PLEASE post this? We got them in from the neighboring county 2 days ago. They are diagnosed with Demodectic Mange which is NOT CONTAGIOUS (good news) and is treatable (good news) but there are 7 of them and we just do not have time or space to treat them and hold them for months (bad news). We are getting so many unwanted dogs that were Christmas gifts and do not have space to hold them during treatment. I am looking for foster homes and rescues to pull them. I am sending out pleas to rescues
They just need "dipped" every 10 days. Time is the key that will save these beautiful pups. Someone got them in a free to a good home ad in the local trading paper. They took all 7 (were a horrible home also) and then realized they had mange. Instead of diagnosing and treating, they passed them on to another horrible family who called us. Poor pups are very loving and pretty. It is mostly just on the faces and the front feet but it is diagnosed. Please let me know! Thanks for your help!
