Happy Endings


HAPPY ENDINGS!


Angus

Angus is a chocolate male shar pei and a Paws R Us Survivor. We estimate his age at about 18 months. Although he is shy of people at first, he gives everyone the benefit of the doubt and lets everyone pet him. Give him an ear rub and you'll get your hands licked. Angus is a people pleaser and wants nothing more than to be loved. He's always afraid of being hit so he watches you approach with this fear in his eyes but if you reassure him verbally, the little piggy tail wags and he comes over to you. He's outgrown puppy antics but has this exuberance to him which make him irresistable. He doesn't know what to do with toys nor does he know what purpose the big cushion dog bed serves. He's learning everything as he goes, such as a Christmas tree is prickly! He's very resourceful and figures things out quickly. He would benefit from obedience training. Angus is good looking and knows it. He loves checking himself out in the mirror! He is fascinated by his reflection in windows, etc. Wherever he goes, he turns heads. He likes car rides and appreciates getting out to meet people. He is good with other dogs but doesn't do cats. He loves his walks. Vaccinations are up to date. Angus is one of those dogs that is going to be an integral part of your life. The family who takes him in are going to get a loving loyal boy who will participate in all family activities if you let him Angus has found her forever home!

MEET GRACIE
Gracie has written Santa Paws, and only has one wish for the holidays: a forever home to call her very own after more then 4 months being homeless. Gracie is a beautiful black and tan shar pei mix (she is of the bone mouthed or traditional kind probably mixed with a Rotti) who is a real sweet heart. She came into animal control in the worst condition. With the help of the kennel and a volunteer - we were able to get Gracie back in shape. Gracie came into foster care through LOYAL and surprised everyone with her obedience training and what a respectful house guest she is. She knows sit, shake paw, and asks for permission to join you on the couch. She is wonderful in the house on her own and is happy to hang out by herself, sleep on her bed and wait until the work day is over to do her business and eat. she's very low maintenance and is good in a house or apartment. Gracie absolutely thinks the world of everyone she meets. She is known for her purple tongue kisses and her enjoyment of belly rubs. Even though she is a mix, she is looking for a home that understands shar pei's or Chinese breeds. She needs a home that will understand that shar pei's have special skin issues that will need monitored; like grain free food and having her skin monitored. She is a beautiful dog - people around the world have literally pitched in for her care. You can follow her story but the pictures are graphic - www.latejulyphotography.blogspot.com When she came in she had a skin infection, yeast on her body and allergies. All of which have cleared up nicely! Her ideal home is a quiet one who enjoys going for walks. Gracie is a people dog - meaning she much rather be around people then other animals (she's a bit of princess at times.) She'd probably do better in a mature home, with a single or couple who just want a companion dog and doesn't need for her to go to dog parks. She is very respectful and utterly charming, she will shake your paw in no time! Gracie is in her new forever home.

MEET BUDDY
Buddy was surrendered by his owner at the Animal Shelter with a blunt force trauma to his left eye. He is happy sweet and friendly and only 5 months old. This fawn horsecoat boy is now looking for a new home that will last forever. Buddy is in his forever home.

MEET HONEY

Honey has been waiting a long time to be able to look for her forever home. In a caring foster home in Northern Quebec Honey had to wait for the perfect opportunity to head south. She is approximately 1 1/2 years old. She is spayed, up to date on shots and housebroken. She does well with kids and other dogs but cats are probably out. Honey is now in her forever home!

MEET PANDA
Panda is a cuddly black brush coat spayed female who will be 9 years old December 18th. She is microchipped and tattooed. She sleeps most of the day and has the occasional playful spirt maybe once a day. She loves to lick your hand, feet or any bare skin, particularly after her dinner. She gets along with most dogs, but has to be watched at first as she likes to dominate. She has lived with another Shar Pei (Bear) for the past 3 years and had to be separated when no one home. Panda likes to chase cats and has been seriously hurt trying to catch one, not sure what she would do if she actually caught one. She is obedient (most of the time) and walks well on leash but needs to be kept focussed. She has lived longer than expected so is looking for that special someone to take care of her in her twilight year(s). She has a bad case of separation anxiety and some medical issues. She cannot be crated. She no longer requires any vaccines other than rabies, which are up to date and not due again until 2010. Panda comes with everything she needs, including a fleece coat & booties for the winter (she doesn't have an undercoat and gets cold quite quickly). Panda is a bit of a delicate flower - will only 'sit' if there is a soft carpet, no hard floors will do - she can sometimes be picky about her food & will not eat if stressed - does not like to get her feet wet, but will go do her business in the rain and then right back in the house - and, she doesn't like deep snow, you need to shovel a path in the backyard in the winter for her. The home most suited for her would be where someone is home most of the time, she just wants to be with you and loves going for car rides and walks. It is breaking her mommies heart that she has to be given up in the latter part of her life, but there just is not any other way. Panda has found her forever home!


MEET BEAR
Bear is a lively 3 1/2 year old cream brush coat neutered male. He had a rough start in life and the first 6 months of his life are unknown, but over the past 3 years he has become a very sweet lovable boy. He's full of energy, loves to play and run around the backyard chasing squirrels, rabbits and even birds. He seems indifferent to cats, but has only lived with another dog. He is quite the comic and when playing with you, head butts the floor and flips over on his back, loves his belly rubbed. He behaves himself when home alone, loves car rides and lots of treats. He gets along with other dogs, just wants to play. Has lived with another SharPei (Panda), who didn't always like to play - he learned quickly when to leave her alone. Bear knows the basic commands, not great with the "come" command, needs more training, particularly walking on leash. He is very food motivated and learns quickly. Bear comes with all his necessities as well as lots of toys. He loves the stuffed toys best, but sometimes rips them apart in seconds flat. He's an absolute joy to have around. Bear has found his forever home.

Meet Anka
Turns out that not only did this girl�s name originate from Sweden (Anka is Swedish for Anna) but her personality must have also. She is as sweet and easy to love as Swedish chocolate. Although very thin, Anka has obviously been a pampered pet that was loved and cared for formerly. One can only wonder what resulted in her being so underweight. She loves people and is happiest when she is snuggled on the couch with those she loves. Anka is cat and dog friendly and is learning that playing with four legged friends can be just as fun as playing with her two legged friends. Anka is petite in stature and has impeccable house manners. She is calm, patient, loving and eager to please. Anka is (2) yrs. old, HW (-), current on vaccinations, spayed and with the proper nutrition will soon be back to her proper body weight. Anka has found her forever home.

Meet Prestige

Petite, precious, and persistent best describe our Prestige! This Shar-Pei did not have time to wait for someone to rescue her so she took matters into her own �paws� and delivered herself to what she judged to be a safe house where she kept her distance in their yard for days until she could fully determine that they were trustworthy. Prestige�s instincts proved to be true. The homeowners contacted NASPR and kept Prestige safe and fed until we were able to secure transport for her. Prestige is as cute as a button at less than 30 lbs. She is approximately (2) years old. She has been spayed, is current on vaccination and is HW (-). Now all Prestige needs is someone that she can trust to provide her with the life she deserves, a family that she can reward their love, kindness and care with her loyalty and affection. A home where she can be the precious princess she was meant to be. Prestige has found her forever home.

She is a reserved, mature adult that loves to play with her toys and people, tolerates other dogs, but would prefer not having the �high energy� puppy for her playmate. Trudy hasn�t let life�s hardship taint her happy disposition. She loves being close to people and shows her gratitude with snuggles, kisses and smiles. Trudy has found her forever home.

MEET GUMBO
Hi there! My name is Gumbo. Now you might think that is a funny name for a handsome manly fellow like me. Well let me tell you my story. A few months back I went for an unsupervised stroll and ended up lost. Some nice people took care of me for a little while but couldn't keep me forever and even though they tried to find my people they could not. So I was brought to the local animal shelter. They told them they had been calling me Duke (we'll get to the Gumbo part in a minute). I spent the Christmas holidays all alone in this place. Thankfully these nice people from NASPR were called and they came and got me. I was brought to the doctors office to make sure I was in tip top condition after my incarceration and the doctor said I am in excellent health. They guessed my age to be approx. 2 years old. I'm a lean, muscular guy weighing in at 45 lbs. Oh, and they said I had been "altered". I sure hope that doesn't mean I'm less than perfect. It must not because the doctor said I was an excellent boarder. I never messed up my room and I never barked. They said that somebody had taken really good care of me before I got lost and that I had been living inside - well isn't that funny? Where else would you live? Anyway, here's where we get to the Gumbo part. The NASPR volunteer came to visit me at the doctors and she said my color reminded her of a bowl of Gumbo sprinkled with filet (I think she must have been hungry at the time). Any dog savvy person would know my official coloring is called "Sable". Anyway, now she calls me Duke of Gumbo - something about February and Mardi Gras. Now aren't these some silly names for a guy like me? There is a really nice NASPR person who visits me with her little girl. We have so much fun when she comes. We run and run. Everybody says that makes me "kid friendly". Gumbo has been adopted.

MEET LARUE
Hi, my name is Larue. I am a 3-year-old fawn female. I came to NASPR after caring animal control officers called them to help after taking me from my owner because she was not providing proper care. I was scared and confused with my two very young puppies to care for and no one to care for us. Thanks to NASPR, my babies are in loving forever homes and will never know what it's like to be hungry and in need of care. I love attention and when I get excited, my tails wags so fast, my entire body wags with it! But I also know when its time to be calm and rest. I have a goofy personality and I will go out of my way to make you smile and laugh. I can sit on command and am house trained. I love chewing on dog toys and treats but I know that furniture and shoes are off limits. I don't mind taking trips in the car. I will often curl up on the seat next to you and fall asleep. I do have some anxiety when left alone but I am trying hard to work through that and understand I no longer need to worry. Larue has found his forever home.

MEET ISIS
Here is a photo of Isis. She is spayed, and is clean in her pen. She can NOT be trusted with small animals. She is young. Isis had a litter of pups on Thanksgiving weekend and they have all been adopted. I think she could go to a home with another dog, if it was the right dog (not small). She has found her forever home.


PENELOPE & BABE
These well behaved little ladies are calm and COMPLETELY potty trained. They can use a dog door or will stay in their crate/run without accidents until you return from work and let them out. They are dog friendly and love to entertain you with their comical play. They are fully vetted, current on vaccines, HW negative and looking for that family that will guarantee they will NEVER ends up in a situation like the one they came from. These little girls deserve a lifetime of the security of love and caring that they were denied in the beginning�and if you are the family that will afford them that, they will reward you with years of love, devotion and loyalty. Babe and Penelope have bothe found their forever homes.


POPPI
What a good boy this young one is. Poppi is a one year old horsecoat male that was given up by his owner when she moved.

This darling girl, has the most precious freckles on her muzzle, and her eyes sparkle with delight when you talk to her. Angelle has found a loving home!


CLARA
I came from very humble beginnings, but I refuse to let that hold me down. At @ 2-3 yrs old, I am a petite girl (around 35 pounds) and all love, heart and kisses. I am a little possessive of my bedding and food bowl � but only with other dogs. My foster mom thinks this is because I have never had these things to call my own � until now. I get along great with all my siblings, both 2 and 4-legged. I love to snuggle with you or just sit in your lap. I have a velvet fawn horse coat and a very gentle nature. I am not a young puppy, but when allowed, I will run, jump and play like one most all the time. I am learning all my house manners and basic commands. I am having no problems with that. I get a little stubborn, as Pei�s can, but tell me again and I respond. Clara has found her forever home.
