Edward

linda — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 22:27:22 +0000

Hi, my name is Edward. I’m the cutest shih tzu and just a happy-go-lucky little guy. I’m about five years-old and weigh only eight pounds, having a great time prancing down the street and meeting new people and dogs of all sizes and breeds. I have the most delightful personality and disposition and everyone meets me falls in love

A little while ago, I got hit by a car while I was a stray, so I had to have my left eye removed and walk with a little bit of a limp with my right-front leg, but with the vet’s love and care, I have recuperated amazingly well. I can see really well out of my other eye and can easily walk and run on that leg.

I love to run and scramble around with my two four-legged foster brothers and explore the dog park. I’m a resilient and happy dog, so there’s nothing to worry about with me.

I also have no separation anxiety or any aggression issues with toys, food or being touched anywhere on my cute, little body. , I iwll be happy whether we go on short walks or rent a movie together, with me resting beside you.

I’m also house-trained, neutered and up-to-date on all my shots. I’m happy and I know I can make you happy, too!

Butter

linda — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 14:15:38 +0000

Hi. My name is Butter. I am a sweet, quiet 7-year old female lab/shepherd mix who was dropped off at a high kill shelter by my owner. They just didn’t want to care for me anymore. Luckily for me, once at the shelter a guardian angel saw me and made a plea for help. I am now safe, but am currently living in a kennel situation and miss the peace and comfort of my own home. I have been waiting too long and desperately need my forever family.

I do take daily, inexpensive meds to control slight incontinence and they work perfectly. I was in a temporary foster home and did not have any accidents while my foster mom was at work all day. I am completely under control.

I would make a great companion for someone who loves to go for walks and then sit down, read a book or curl up on the couch with a loyal dog at their side. I am a real sweetheart and am great on the leash. I have never been around kids, so am looking for a quiet home without young children

Dixie

linda — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 03:25:50 +0000

“Dixie is a fun, sweet, loving girl! She’s a German Shepard mix with a lot of spunky energy and is 5 years old.

She has a beautiful brown coat, with black on her nose, ears, and along her back and weighs about 40 pounds. so a perfect size dog for an apartment or the burbs

One of her ears points up while the other is tipped down, making her absolutely adorable! She loves running, giving lots of kisses, and being around people and other dogs. She’s quite the social butterfly and must say “hi” to everyone she walks by, giving friendly licks to all.

Dixie is obedient and knows her basic commands, sit, down, and heel. She’s also very well housebroken, barks only occasionally (usually outdoors), and loves to please.

She would be great in a home that would be willing to exercise her daily, either by running or playing in a dog park. She’s quite calm in the home but once she’s let loose in a dog park, she has a ton of playful energy!

Dixie has been spayed, vaccinated for rabies, distemper, and bordetella. She is microchipped and heartworm negative

Daisy Mae

linda — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 15:08:48 +0000

Hello everyone, I am Daisy-Mae!

My name is bright and cheerful just like me! They say I am 2 yrs old, but I feel like a puppy!
I have a short White Soft coat with light brown spots all over and over each of my soft brown
eyes and a very Pink nose! I weigh 43 pounds

I am very smart and love to show you how fast I learn tricks…. I sit on command and give my
dainty little paw, if you give me a treat! I am not really that motivated by food, what I really love
are “hugs & kisses”, and would much prefer to give you a Lick or nibble on your soft and squishy
ears if you come down to kiss me!

I am house trained and learned to use a doggie door, but can wait to go out if you don’t have one.
I love to snuggle at night, but feel safe in my own bed/crate all night without a sound once I go to bed.
I walk easily and like all dogs and people….especially the little people you call babies! They smell so
nice and I like to lick them all over.

When I am in the park, I like to make new friends and play with anyone who will play with me…especially
if they will chase me…I loved to be chased!

I recently found out that I like to play in a small pool, the water is so much fun and I would like to someday
have my own yard with a small pool to play in.

If this sounds good to you, please let my friends know that you would like to meet the very sweet, fun
and loveable…”DAISY-MAE”.

Gina

linda — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 00:43:29 +0000

Gina is absolutely adorable. She goes by her nicknames, Wiggle Butt, and Little Monkey girl. She has a pushed-up nose and a very prominent underbite; sometimes tucking her upper lip into her bottom lip, showing off her bottom pearly whites. She is mostly black with some white on her chest, her chin, and the tips of her toes and tail. Gina is a boxer mix weighing about 56 pounds and could add another 5 pounds at a healthier weight. At the shelter, where Posh Pets rescued her from, staff thought she was about 4 years old, but now, as she gaining weight and settling into a home environment, she is more like 2 or 3 years old. Gina loves to play with toys, dogs and balls and LOVES meeting just about everyone. Although, she has a medium amount of puppy energy, she also has an incredibly sweet personality, where she’ll curl up next to you, calmly lay down, look at you adoringly, and give you sweet kisses. She also LOVES belly rubs. In fact, I’ve seen Gina turn up her belly to more than a few people on the street.

Gina is also very smart. She is a quick learner, listens very well, loyal, and one of the most obedient dogs I know. She knows how to lay down, shake, and stay with hand signals. Gina is an overall happy girl quick to give adoring looks. She’s a very easy going dog and is house-trained. Currently, she’s walked 3 times per day and eats twice a day. She’s still in training learning about good habits and boundaries and she’s learning at lightening speed.

Gina is very much ready for a forever home were she can love a family for the rest of her young life. She will no doubt make someone very happy with her loving affectionate and playful personality. She needs her exercise as a young dog, is ready to learn, and with a good family, she will be the flourish into the incredible dog she’s meant to be.

Allie

linda — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 16:04:21 +0000

I am the nicest cuddles and purring female 2 year old cat that is white with tabby

My foster parents cant say enough good things about me

Allie is a love. She has never scratched our furniture during the last two months. She uses her scratcher pad laced with cat nip. She will come sit in my arms for hours if I let her, but if I don’t let her she’s ok with that. She sleeps most of the day and always uses her litter box. Allie is a talker. Whatever you say to her she will answer and also initiates conversations. She sleeps in our bed and we never know when she’s there. It’s not a bother because she is stealth.

. Allie tolerates our 65 pound dog Jake. But would more probaly like to be the only animal in the house so she can have all the attention ,and righfully so as she is so affectionate.

Allie is low maintenance. She eats when hungry only, so you can keep food out.. She loves to be brushed, too.

Sahara

linda — Tue, 16 Feb 2010 16:44:20 +0000

Sahara is four years old and 51 pounds–way too thin for her size She’s here through no fault of her own (her owner is unavailable to take care of her), she ended up in a shelter but we saved her.
She’s very loving, and likes to climb in your lap whenever you sit down for half a second. (No mean feat, considering her head towers over yours when she puts her paws on the bench.)
Her owner’s sister says she loves adults, kids, and dogs, and indeed she wagged her tail every time she saw one of her brethren in the halls and licked other dogs through the cage bars when at shelter.

She’s also just pretty–I don’t know what she’s mixed with (English cocker spaniel? Great Dane?) but whatever it is has given her soft puppy-like features and truly beautiful black and white markings that just make you want to look at her all day.
Sahara is a true gem to her breed gentle and kind and loving and will fit very nicely

Sweet Belle

linda — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 02:25:58 +0000

am told my name fits me perfectly since everyone tells me I’m beautiful. I am a very affectionate and gentle ONE YEAR old female American Staffordshire terrier with a beautiful fawn and white coat weighing 48 pounds.

I am not hyper but I do have a lot of energy. I love to tousle, run and play with other dogs. A poodle was pretty rough with me when we were playing in the dog run, off leash, in Carl Schurz Park. I let him pull me by the collar, and just gave him kisses, because I am a gentle creature.

Besides loving dogs I am great with human animals and walk nicely on a leash. Although, I might take you by surprise sometimes because I do like to chase the occasional pigeon or flyaway plastic bags and paper. They say stop and smell the roses, well, I like to stop and bark at statues.

I am a true ambassador to my breed, I‘m told. All I know is my foster mom tells me all the time what a good girl I am. I’m really happy when she lets me sit in her lap.

Spayed with all my up to date shots. Even heart worm tested negative.

Bella is totally house trained and knows all of her basic commands, she even knows “kennel” to go into her crate. Uni is great with the other dogs in foster home and, she gets fed with the pack, and she plays well with everyone(so funny to watch!) Uni requires what any dog would need, a lot of exercise, as she is quite an athlete. She is spayed with all her shots.

Turning an Emergency Adoption into a Success Story!

Ginger was in real danger of being put down. She had less than 48 hours to find a home and panic was in the air. Luckily, some guardians lurking in the periphery helped save her by buying her some time. She was shipped to a boarding house upstate and waited for someone to take a chance on her to find her a new forever home…

ElleN'Roses

Ellen received an email from her boyfriend and instantly fell in love. Within moments of seeing her pics and hearing Ginger’s story - Ellen wanted to help. She considered fostering, but she knew that would not be enough. She went for run to clear her mind and came back with the answer. Two days later and Ginger bloomed like a Rose, and Elle N’Roses were united. Less than a week later, the two are inseparable and two lives were saved. Life adjustments are being made, but Ellen wouldn’t have it any other way. She reminds us all that sometimes opening your heart to a pet helps you more than the pet.

Below is the post that Ellen read:

This dog needs to get out city shelter and she only has 48 hours to live. A volunteer at shelter wrote Ginger is petite and young-looking, and very intent on being close… She is 4 years old and weighs 32 pounds. She likes a lot of contact and gets excited easily. She absolutely loves being handled and didn’t make a peep at any other dogs. I really liked her. She has a sad look to her, despite being quite pretty. I met her also yesterday and she was extrmely sweet and absolutely no aggression with other dogs, even when one was quite mean to her she backed away. She is house trained.

Beagle as Personal Flotation Device

By Posh Pets Rescue Adopter, Sean Maloney

It was a little over a year ago that my girlfriend, Maya and I decided to rescue a dog. I remember spending countless hours online (when I should have been working or eating lunch) scouring 1-800-save-a-pet.com for cute corgis, pernicious pugs, or the ubiquitous mangy mutts. Pitbull-mix is the easiest dog to find on these sites, but that was out of the question for us since our silly building does not allow breeds considered to be “dangerous.” Clearly, these people have never met a daschund with an attitude problem. While searching for a rescue, I’ll admit that I considered the less morally correct choice of buying a puppy, not because we wanted a specific breed (though we do have a thing for labs and frenchies), but because I didn’t feel like filling out an application and sending my resume and bona fides to some dog rescuer. And despite my overconfidence in my own Caesar-esque abilities to properly master a dog, I was very nervous by some of the descriptions of the orphans’ personalities and needs—”needs constant supervision and insulin shots,” or “cannot be around other dogs or small children”—were just a couple of common traits.

One year and two weeks later, as the title of this article suggests, Maya and I could not even survive in New York City without our precious beagle, Finnegan. Finn keeps us grounded in reality. He is a constant reminder that there is more to this city than stress, fancy bags and difficult bosses. His loyalty and sheer cuteness warm our weary hearts the second we walk through the door. If Maya goes to bed before I’m home, Finnegan will spurn his ridiculously comfy bed at the foot of ours, and sleep prostrate in front of the bedroom door so that no intruder could get to her without stepping over him. None of the beagle horror stories have proven true in Finn’s case. Sure he barks, sure he bays—he’s a beagle. But he never howls for no- reason, and he shuts up almost on command. Finnegan has made us enjoy our neighborhood more. Supermodels and homeless guys stop us in equal numbers to ask about our handsome boy. Our neighbors and doormen know us by our dog. Police and firefighters crack a smile when we walk past. And yes, since we live near the Empire State Building, we now know how to say, “What a cute beagle” in a least seven languages. And that was all before Uno won the Westminster dog show! Since then I’ve had a guy roll down the window of his huge SUV and shout “UNO!” at us, as well as a pedestrian shouting from the other side of the street that beagles kick butt!

Lots of folks think the City is no place for dogs. I couldn’t disagree more! New York is awesome for dogs. Finnegan has met just about every breed and mix of dog on the planet. He has two dog parks within a 20 minute walk. He has more smells on a one-block radius of sidewalk than exist in all of Canada! He could not possibly be happier. Sure he loves when we take him out to the country. He recently discovered his genetically hard-wired arch nemesis—the bunny rabbit. But he is just as happy in our small apartment (in one of his two oversized beds that take up half our floor space), or out cruising Madison Square Park as he is in the country. Furthermore, the only store we can’t take him into is the grocery store (and restaurants, or course). Finn regularly shops with us on the weekends and is highly skilled at obtaining treats at every stop. We get better customer service when we have the dog with us!

Some would argue that small apartments are not good for dogs. Again, I say nay! Dogs could care less how big your apartment is. Dogs care about how big outside is. You shouldn’t be afraid to rescue a dog because your apartment is too small. You shouldn’t worry about the dog’s past or any “baggage” he or she might have because you can get some of that information from the rescue agency and make a fairly well-informed decision. I don’t think Finnegan realizes how close he was to being euthanized, so I don’t believe a dog loves you more just because you rescued her, but I do believe that if you’re the kind of person who rescues a dog, then you are going to love that dog more, and she will love you more in return.

In considering whether or not to adopt a dog, there is really only one thing you need to know: are you ready to give that dog a stable, healthy, and loving environment so long as you both shall live? We are happy to say that we are totally committed to Finnegan, and in return, he keeps our heads above water and our hearts aglow—a good deal for all involved.

Chauncey/Walter/Margaret

admin — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 03:55:59 +0000

Name: Kevin

A little about yourself:
32 y/o M from NY, varied interests.

Adopted animal(s) names:
Chauncey, Walter, Margaret, Willow (senile cat)

Why did you decide to adopt?
Completely dog-obsessed girlfriend sold me on the idea of dogs- I had little previous experience with their wonders, but have since been born again.

How did you choose your dogs?
Willow was aforementioned girlfriend’s dowry, Chauncey and Walter came from petfinder.com, Margaret sort of just showed up and attached herself.

Why did you name your dog Chauncey/Walter/Margaret?
Said girlfriend has what I consider to be a unique gift for naming animals.

What’s your favorite thing about your dogs?
They’re at least as effective as SSRI’s and cost about the same.

What’s the funniest thing your dogs have ever done?
It’s non-stop physical comedy. There’s no way to choose a single instance.

What would you say to someone considering adopting?
Well, buying animals is ridiculous. And, at least under most circumstances, not having them at all means missing out on one of the small handful of things that make life bearable.

Is there anything else you want everyone to know about you and your dogs?
Two of them are sitting on me.

Foster Success Story

Name: Bethany

A little about yourself:
BFA photography Rhode Island School of design, 25

How and when did you start fostering?
Started in march 2008 – I met another foster Anna on Atlantic Ave in Brooklyn while walking our Chihuahuas.

What’s the best thing about fostering?
Watching the animals begin to trust and love and become happy doggies. Also, meeting their new family, and making sure the dog is going to a happy, healthy home.

What’s hard about fostering?
Dealing with all their baggage - training them to become the best dog they can be. Nursing them back to health, and sometimes, dealing with the sadness sickness brings, and potentially losing dogs that have become close to our hearts. Its also hard to say goodbye.

How many animals have you fostered?
Three

Have you had a favorite (and why)?
Nope. they are all different and awesome in their own ways. Some are harder than others.

Have there been any big surprises while fostering?
How quickly the little guys are to fall in love. They are all so eager to be given kisses and a great environment.

What’s the funniest moment you’ve had with your foster pets?
I found myself laughing while I was reading a magazine in bed, and found myself with all 4 pups (2 fosters and 2 of my own) at once!! Of course, they didn’t leave much room for me to sleep. It was a big slumber party, I’ve got to say.

What would you say to someone considering fostering?
It changes your life - it forces you to be less selfish. fostering is not only rewarding, but therapeutic.

What makes it all worth it for me is:
Knowing that my little pups have great homes with people that love them, and give them the homes they have always deserved, but were not lucky enough to be born into.

Is there anything else you want to say here about fostering?
Posh Pets is awesome??

Liberty

Adoption Success Story

Name:Rhoda

A little about yourself:
Animal welfare junkie. Doing it for years and don’t know how to stop.

Adopted animal(s) names:
Liberty (Libby)

Why did you decide to adopt?
Just always have. Every dog I’ve ever had has been a rescue. They know you’ve saved them, and they show their gratitude every day.

How did you choose your dog?
Actually, she chose me. My dog had just died, and I cried a lot. I called friends in Florida and said I just had to get away, sit in the sunshine by the pool and dry my tears. The rescue group from my last dog called me upon my arrival to sympathize on her loss. They told me they had one that had been confiscated by the country from a backyard breeder and really needed me, so I went to get her, brought her home to NYC with me, and have never been happier.

Why did you name your dog Liberty?
Her name is Liberty, because she was liberated from a terrible situation, and the night before I picked her up I was watching TV with my friends and one station was going off the air. They played the national anthem and showed a beautiful shot of the Statue of Liberty, my favorite since I was a little kid, and the name just came to me. It said everything about her.

What’s your favorite thing about your dog?
In the 4+ years I’ve had her she’s still always trying to please me. She stares into my eyes and seems to anticipate exactly what I want. She then comes over, puts her head on me and looks lovingly at my face. How could that NOT be my favorite thing?

What’s the funniest thing your dog has ever done?
She doesn’t do funny things, she just loves me.

What would you say to someone considering adopting?
The best thing about adopting is not getting a puppy. Getting a dog who’s older and wiser, and who is just content being by your side, who wants to drag you down the street to show you her favorite spots, and who’s excited about what mystery lies just around the corner.

Is there anything else you want everyone to know about you and your dog?
She is an extension of myself. She has become so bonded and so important to me that I consider her part of me. My kids always complain “you love that dog more than you love me”, and my response always is … SO WHAT’S YOUR POINT!!

Jean

admin — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 03:44:11 +0000

By Jean Olivier-White

I have been a foster parent with Posh Pets Rescue for about 3 1/2 years now. During this time, I have fostered and helped place about two dozen dogs including our long term rescue Theo, who was my first foster with Posh Pets and after 2 years and brain surgery finally found his forever home and is doing well. Theo required countless visits to specialist, had a rigid medication schedule and a demanding personality to at times complicate things but no one in our rescue group gave up on him.

The work is endless, tiring and very time consuming and the pay is incredible (a big lick and thank you from a dog is all you get in the end and we would not trade it for anything in the world). There is nothing more satisfying than to bring home a sick, scared or abused dog nourish him/her back to health and then have the control to place it with an appropriate family that will love him or her unconditionally. It’s always hard to hand them over to their new forever families but the people we have met are truly dedicated to rescue and knowing that so many folks make the effort to adopt first is amazing.

Each of our dogs leaves us knowing that we cared enough to give them the very best. The dogs that come into my home leave in good health, housebroken and more importantly confident and ready to take on the world and love and trust their new family. All Posh Pets rescues live in foster homes with an incredible network of people that make them part of their daily routines. The dogs that come into my home eat, play and sleep with us- they are never treated any less. My husband and I are never in a hurry to make a placement we truly believe there is a family out there for each dog that we bring in.

Linda gives 150% to make sure that each adoption is a good match; she makes sure that the dogs are up to date with shots, spaying, neutering and groomed appropriately. When asked why we do this- the answer is simple- “Why don’t you try it and see how it feels?” My reasoning behind all this is that we live in a disposable society- a world that throws away infants, senior citizens and just about anything and everyone around us is too busy talking about making a change. So I decided to step up to my own challenge and attempt to make a change- albeit small and maybe insignificant to others. Every time an adoption is made it’s more than just placing a dog- it’s making a family whole, it’s finding that missing link and saving a life.

Pippen

admin — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 03:43:44 +0000

Name:
Sara Altshul & Frank Ruscitti

A little about yourself:
I’m a writer, Frank’s a teacher

Adopted animal(s) names:
Pippen, a poodle terrier mix

Why did you decide to adopt?
We’d just had to put down our 17 yr old terrier-mix, Jonah, who I rescued when he was found wandering in Central Park back in 1991 or so. Bella, our little rat terrier, who we rescued 6 years ago, became inconsolable and developed a terrible separation anxiety–so we figured it was time to adopt again.

How did you choose your dog?
We saw his picture on 1-800-save-a-pet.com and we knew he was the one for us

Why did you name your dog Pippen?
He came named “Pippen” and he seemed to know it & it suited him, so we kept it.

What’s your favorite thing about your dog?
He’s always ready to play, he’s very loving & cuddly, and has a terrific sense of humor.

What’s the funniest thing your dog has ever done?
He has a penchant for stealing things and hiding them behind the couch. He doesn’t chew or destroy (oh, except he does shred stolen paper napkins) but he hides things. So now we know where to look when we can’t find our shoes, sunglasses, etc.

What would you say to someone considering adopting?
JUST DO IT! Sign up for www.1-800-save-a-pet.com which sends you daily emailed pix of dogs that meet your needs for size, age, etc. You’ll save a life and you’ll never regret it.

Is there anything else you want everyone to know about you and your dog?
We never thought we could replace our beloved Jonah–but we got the dog we absolutely needed.

Rhoda

admin — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 03:40:48 +0000

Name: Rhoda

A little about yourself:
I’ve been working in animal welfare for about 30 or more years, and am very proactive with animals. I’ve nearly walked into the jaws of hell to pull out a creature from the pit. I’ve been screamed at by horrible people, and seen terrible things done to poor little creatures, but I’m still going….still saving….still loving those beautiful 4-leggers….

How and when did you start fostering?
Met someone in the street with a few dogs, we talked, she fostered, gave me her card, I called….and the rest is history.

What’s the best thing about fostering?
It’s just like being a grandmother, you can love them to death, and then glow as they go to their wonderful forever homes knowing it was you who gave them that chance.

What’s hard about fostering?
Obviously it’s parting with some of the extra special ones…where you keep saying “if I wanted another dog, this would be the one”, and then letting go, knowing you’ve done what needed to be done to give them back their lives.

How many animals have you fostered?
Probably hundreds over the years.

Have you had a favorite (and why)?
They’re all my favorites, but the foster I have now is absolutely the best and most gorgeous. Sad story gone good, with a face that’s to die for.

Have there been any big surprises while fostering?
Many surprises, and I’ve stepped in some big ones early in the morning. Well, not that many surprises, just sadness at first because of what’s been done to them, and then joy at seeing them turn around under your nurturing.

What’s the funniest moment you’ve had with your foster pets?
I had a foster who took all the toys out of the toybox and lined them up in a perfectly straight line, from one wall to the other, then looked at me as if to say….well, what do you think of that? I still have a picture of it somewhere.

What would you say to someone considering fostering?
I would say, go for it, It’s one of the most gratifying things you can do. Saving a life and nurturing it, and bringing it back from the brink of something terrible. Nothing could be more fulfilling.

What makes it all worth it for me is:
Seeing all my babies going to homes where they’ll have love and attention, and getting those Christmas cards, pictures, and little stories every several months for years and years.

Is there anything else you want to say here about fostering?
What you’re doing is actually saving those lives. Most of these little creatures have lost the homes they’ve loved, even if they were awful homes. They’ve been battered and then thrown away, they’ve wandered the streets hungry and scared, been picked up by animal control and thrown in the back of a truck, then taken to a shelter and poked, prodded, and then thrown into a cold steel cage. Their fear knows no bounds. We, the fosters, are their first link to love and trust. We are the ones who mend their wounded bodies and broken spirits, and get them ready to move on into a happy and loving life.

At over 100 pounds, Minnie Mush had a lot of trouble just walking. With hip problems and the need for a diet, the owners were giving her up. We took Minnie into our rescue, slimmed her down, and found that she just loved playing with small dogs! Minnie found a loving home with other dogs – all small!

Sweetie

Sometimes it is just love at first sight! This was the case with one of our shih tzu’s Sweetie and his foster mom. Although Sweetie had some behavioral issues, the foster mom felt that she could deal with them – no problem. We usually don’t encourage our fosters to adopt the foster dog because we want them to keep fostering, but in this case, sometimes you know and the dog knows that he has found his new forever home! Sweetie, foster turned adopted dog never had to leave his mom!

Little Cookie is a big Jack Russell terrier mix that just could not find a home. She is very energetic and even with regular walks, needed more exercise. She was running around her foster’s large apartment and the two older dogs there were not too happy about it! Finally, with new photos sporting her pink bandana, Cookie got a new loving home in 5 days!

Rufus

Rufus is a very high energy black Labrador retriever mix around age 2. Black dogs always have a more difficult time getting adopted even in a rescue group as they are often just overlooked. Rufus was in a very good foster home and he attended adoption events but no takers. Someone saw him on our website and he had a house and a large yard. Rufus after almost a year finally found his forever home and is a really happy dog now! He has the run of the place!

I lost my beloved Cocker Spaniel and Shih tzu within 2 and half years of each other. I couldn’t bear the idea of not having a dog in my life. I looked at the Petfinder.com website. I clicked on Shih Tzus and there he was on Posh Pets rescue site. I fell in love with his sweet little face and knew we were meant for each other! I called Linda, filled out the application..and the rest is history!

Patches was retrieved from his foster mother Zita (RN) who was nursing him back to health from neglectful owners. Linda first took him to her vet . He was given antibiotics and was neutered. I made plans to meet him and Zita (who was to check me out to see if I would be a suitable It was a match made in heaven! He was released to me early (I am also an RN) and I continued his care. Within 7 days he was taken to my vet for examination as requested by Posh Pets. The vet extended the antibiotic treatment, added some drops for dry eye.

Within 3 days of him being in his new home with a doting granny and mom, he was eating, smiling and decidedly friskier. He has been with us for 5 weeks now and we could not be happier! He has the sweetest personality, is very smart and was house trained quickly! He gets invited to play with his 2 year old neighbor and they too love each other to bits.

SO thanks to Posh Pets for rescuing him ……. thanks to Zita his foster mother for the good care she gave him …….. Linda for coordinating it all……….. and the biggest thanks of all is for making this possible and making a little dog and his new family so happy!

This is Fluffy (now called Dozer) with Jane, his new mom. I saw the owner bring him back into a shelter. She had adopted him a year ago and was moving. I took him right away. Look at him now! What a happy dog!
