01/28/13: Its sad
but true.... I am still
in a boarding facility
Please read about my
story and consider
giving me a forever
home. Life isn't
fair I know, but I have
been in a boarding
facility for 3 years and
would love to have a
home, I am 10 now.
Love, Tuck
05/16/11: Tuck still
needs your support ...
If
you are not a suitable
home for Tuck but want
to help, please...
consider making a
donation to help offset
his boarding costs while
we search for a home for
Tuck. Tuck is one of
five dogs who have no
where to go and at this
time our only option is
to board them. While
this isn't ideal its
safe and they are well
cared for. Having to pay
boarding fees takes away
from our ability to help
other dogs who may need
medical care and are
waiting to come into
rescue. Please consider
making a donation to
help offset the boarding
costs for these 5 dogs.
03/07/11: I STILL NEED
YOU!, Please read about
me and if were a match
please apply! Dont pass
me by because I am not
100% boxer please !!!
01/18/11: We
hope someone will
give this boy a chance
...
Tuck is still at
the boarding
facility - sad but
true. The right
family just has
not come along for
him. He needs a
real special, quiet,
patient home without
dogs, or kids. Tuck
has lived with cats
before with no
issues. A fenced
yard is a must for
this guy too.
Tuck just needs a
chance....

The Value of Life,
The Plea for
Benevolence, The
Necessity of
Compassion
NBR
currently
has 4 dogs
who are
living in
boarding
kennels.....Ava, Rock,
Wilco,
and Tuck.
Sadly, we
have not
found
appropriate
foster or
permanent
homes for
them.. The
most
disheartening
thing about
this
situation is
that all of
these dogs
have the
potential to
be wonderful
dogs, but
they can not
seem to get
a break.
They have
all been
mishandled
by people
and because
of this they
are now
considered
"hard to
place".
These dogs
have trust
issues
because
people have
let them
down and NBR
is committed
to
rectifying
the wrongs
that have
been done to
them. We
are looking
for people
to foster or
adopt
who genuinely
want to help
a dog in the
truest sense
of the
word.
Please do
not consider
taking any
of these
dogs into
your home if
you have a
big ego or
if you are
not tolerant
enough to
allow the
dogs to
adjust at
their own
pace. These
dogs need
someone who
understands
that their
adjustment
period could
be long, and
they will
need kind
people who
have lots of
patience.
Some of
these dogs
have been in
a foster
home
previously
but they
"failed'
because the
people (who
had good
intentions)
did not
comprehend
the
commitment
needed of
them. Every
time these
dogs have a
change they
are set back
in their
progress so
we are being
very
cautious
about
choosing
homes for
them. NBR
will provide
as much
moral
support as
you need.
We have been
very
successful
turning dogs
such as
these around
and you will
need to be
able to
trust our
recommendations
and follow
our lead.
Ava, Rock, Wilco,
and Tuck all
have much
love to
give, but
they will
expect you
to earn
their
trust. They
will no
doubt teach
you more
about dog
behavior
then you
will ever
learn in a
book, and
you may
learn much
about
yourself and
other people
as well.
Once you
earn their
trust you
will be
blessed with
a companion
who will
truly
be your best
friend
forever, and
you will be
rewarded
with the
satisfaction
that you
truly made a
difference
in a needy
dog's life.
Unfortunately boarding
costs are
expensive
and they
are draining
our bank
account.
If you
cannot help
us by taking
one of these
dogs into
your home,
please help
pay for
their
expenses
until
suitable
placements
can be
found.
Every one of
these dogs
would have
been killed
if NBR did
not take
them into
our rescue
program. We
feel that
all of their
lives have
meaning and
we are proud
that we
saved
them. You
can share in
that pride
by doing
whatever you
can to help.
08/04/10:
Please help offset my
costs as I am being
boarded until the right
foster home comes along
for me; I need a really
special home (patient,
quiet, loving, fenced
yard).
I am only
one of several dogs
being boarded and the
bills are climbing
preventing NBR from
being able to help other
dogs in need. You may
not be the right home
however please consider
sponsoring me...
1/19/10:
Tuck was returned to a
boarding kennel, please
donate to offset his
expenses while we
continue to look for the
right home for this guy.
7/11/09:
Tuck is in his
new foster home and
doing great.
Below is an
update from his foster
mom:
“Tuck is an amazing
dog! Of all the dogs I
have known, he is the
easiest, smartest and
most adaptable. He sits
and waits for you to
tell him "OK" before
going out the door,
loves car/truck rides;
settles right down and
curls up to sleep for
most of the ride. He
knows sit, stay, down,
roll over, play dead,
shake and go to bed. The
first night he slept on
the couch with my
daughter, though it is
clear he was never
allowed on the furniture
and only joins you when
invited. After a busy
first day of hiking and
getting settled in his
outside yard, he put
himself to bed in his
crate at about 9pm. He
stayed the whole night
with the door open until
I woke him up at 7am!
My male cat is the
best "dog tester" as he
is fearless and loves
dogs. He and Tuck cuddle
together with me and
Tuck even lets him share
his kibble. The two
female cats are much
more shy and though Tuck
shows interest he knows
"leave it" and will not
bother with them.
We are working on
his only very small
issue which is walking
on the leash without
pulling. I have a gentle
leader which he HATES,
so we are just working
on heeling and he
instantly sits by your
side when you stop
walking.
Haven't had an
opportunity to test him
with any young children
but based on what I have
seen he is protective of
my daughter but warms up
to strangers quickly. I
also do not know how he
does with other dogs.
Overall, he is a
very happy and devoted
boy.”
05/28/09: Foster Home Needed
!
BABY
COMES - TUCK GOES
Tuck is a male Boxer-Ridgeback mix who
was surrendered by a couple because they were having a
baby. Tuck had been a loyal companion to his
family for 6 years, but they no longer had time for him.
Tuck should be on "easy street" but instead he
could have been "on the street". He was
headed for the nearest shelter if we did not take him
into our program.
Unfortunately we have no available
foster homes for poor Tuck and we had to place him in a
boarding kennel. PLEASE
HELP!!!! THESE DOGS NEED YOU!
Tuck has a hounds body, and the
distinctive ridge of hair down his back which grows in
the opposite direction to the rest of his coat. He
is a little shy at first when meeting new people,
however, he is a wonderful companion. He gets
along great with cats and enjoys the company of
teenagers. He likes bread and peanut
butter and absolutely loves cherry tomatoes!
Corn on the other hand gives him hives.
Tuck is a very smart boy. He has
learned how to sit, stay, heel, lie down, roll over,
give his paw, play dead, sit pretty (sits on back legs
with paws up), dance (stands on back legs and dances),
and chase his tail. Obviously he can be very
entertaining.
He is crate trained but has not needed
a crate for three years. He sleeps in a dog bed
and is completely housebroken. He loves to run and
leap over things in the yard. He also plays fetch
with soccer balls. Tuck enjoys going for jogs in
the woods as well as a leisurely walk. Tuck likes
to be scratched under his chin and tolerates his nails
being cut. He is not a fan of the bathtub, will
try to look as miserable as possible to get out of
taking a bath, but he is cooperative.
Tuck would love a home where he can go
outside and run in a yard with a fence and have someone
to play ball with him. He would also enjoy a cat
or another dog as a friend. He is longing for a
new family who will not give up on him.
