P T E D !!!!!
05/26/11: Update from
D.A.'s Foster .... and
Adopting Home!!!!
No Longer Accepting
Applications
"He is adjusting well to
being spoiled - toys all
over the house. He
understands the words
"walk" and "ride" and
gets excited to hear
either one. He loves
playing ball in the back
yard. He is getting good
and sit, down, and come.
He thinks he is a lap
dog whenever someone
sits on the couch. He
tries to fit his whole
body on their lap - it's
kind of funny to watch.
Last week we went to the
vets and he is now 47
lbs.
I
did get him a crate and
just leave the door
open. He actually goes
in there by himself to
take a nap or sleep.
During the morning and
afternoon when I am at
work, he has free range
of the house and has
been a good boy so far -
no accidents and nothing
except his toys chewed.
Of course he is not
alone that long - 9:30
to 12 in the morning and
1 to 2:30 in the
afternoons. Right now he
is hanging out on the
couch in the sunshine
with his leg around his
favorite toy."
05/04/11:D.A. Was
Rescued From The Depths
Of Criminal Neglect
D.A. was an abuse case.
This poor 10 month old
boy was kept in a cage
and was not being fed.
At the time he was
rescued, D.A. was eight
months old and had
endured this treatment
all his life. The Humane
Officer gave “the
owners” two options;
surrender the dog to
Animal Control or face
prosecution for animal
cruelty. Needless to
say, they surrendered
D.A. to the Animal
Control Officer. D.A.
was only 20 pounds when
he was confiscated.
When they brought D.A.
to the Town kennel, one
of the local Police
Officers decided to take
him home to see if he
would fit in with his
family. Unfortunately,
after some time in their
household, the wife felt
he had too much energy
for their young toddler
and they finally made
the decision to return
him. The Animal Control
Officer then contacted
NBR for help.
We made the necessary
arrangements to have
D.A. picked up to be
fostered. He is doing
“great”. Below is an
update from his new
foster mom:
"We picked up D.A. this
afternoon from the
Animal Control Officer.
He's a very sweet
brindle boxer puppy who
was taken from a bad
situation. The officer
(Jayson) showed us some
sad pictures from when
D.A. was rescued 2
months ago (8 months old
and approximately 20
lbs). A local police
officer took him in but
that didn't last- the
puppy kept jumping up on
their 3 year old
daughter and knocking
her down. Jason took a
liking to D.A. and gave
him "special treatment"
- he stayed in the
office with him while he
worked. He also treated
him to a bath recently.
Our first impression is
that D.A. is very
friendly and gives lots
of kisses and wiggles.
However, he seems a
little stressed (which
is understandable) but
loves it when you pay
attention to him. He has
lots of puppy energy and
a hearty appetite. This
guy is super
cute...non-stop
wiggles..
D.A. has received his
rabies inoculation, DHPP
first vaccination,
heartworm test and skin
scraping (he has a
couple of small bald
spots) and he was
neutered. He is
adjusting well to being
spoiled - toys all over
the house. He
understands the words
"walk" and "ride" and
gets excited to hear
either one. He loves
playing ball in the back
yard. He is getting good
at sit, down, and come.
He thinks he is a lap
dog whenever someone
sits on the couch. He
tries to fit his whole
body on their lap - it's
kind of funny to watch.
I
did get him a crate and
just leave the door
open. He actually goes

take a nap or sleep.

Of course he is not

to 12 in the morning and
1 to 2:30 in the
afternoons.
Right now he is hanging
out on the couch in the
sunshine with his leg
around his favorite toy.
He really is a cute
little guy."
