• 06/29/01 - How could you resist these pink lips?  They are just waiting to be kissed by my new owner, wherever you may be...So what if I am deaf, everything else about me is absolutely perfect.  I love all people (although I may knock you over if you are just a little tyke), I love all dogs and I am fine with cats.  I am crate trained, walk well on a leash, very smart and most importantly - I am the most lovable creature alive!  All I want is your love and someone to play with me.  I promise to be your very best friend.  Read my new update below.  My foster Dad wrote it, as he knows me best and would be happy to answer any more questions you might have about me.  He is going to his shared beach house for the 4th of July holiday and wishes he could bring me along.  Unfortunately, not all the people in the house feel the same way we do about dogs, so I can't go.  Can you come to visit me this weekend?  If so, please call Lynne at (718) 417-4903.  Be sure you have completed an online application first.  Oh, by the way, I am in the big city...NY, NY! 

• 06/28/01 - Update on Whitey- Report from Whitey's foster home:
  Well here's the scoop on Whitey (I call him "Ghost" since he can't hear me anyway, and unless he sees me, he doesn't know I'm around).
  
  Whitey appears to be deaf, or at least extremely hard of hearing.  I've
  never seen him respond to any sound, and I mean ANY SOUND!!!  He is an
  absolute sweetheart with everyone he meets, though he insists on giving hugs to everyone.  Given his hearing impediment, it's been really difficult to
  keep him from jumping up on people without disappointing him.  Ignoring him or pushing him away incites serious barking (again, since he can't hear, he barks VERY loud -- probably feels the vibrations in his head).
  
  He LOVES to eat.  Given the opportunity, he'll eat ANY and ALL food put in
  front of him.
  
  He's really good on a leash.  He's quickly learning to wait for "human" to
  walk through doors first.  For the most part, he is not a tugger.  Given an
  occasional "reminder jolt" he walks  at "human pace" and doesn't tug.  He
  enjoys sniffing and looking for food -- again, he probably counts on his
  nose more since his ears don't seem too reliable.
  
  When Lisa dropped him off, she warned that he wanted to go at it with every dog that he saw.  Though he's very excited to see dogs when walking on a leash, he's gotten A LOT better when he sees other dogs.  After a few days of hesitation, I took him to the dog run, where he immediately became a huge hit and a friend to all dogs that were looking for a playmate.  Now we go twice a day -- his favorite times of the day.  He's never instigated a
  fight, but he's been in a couple of altercations with jealous dogs.
  
  He seems house-trained, but he had a few accidents in the beginning.  Unless I'm home, he stays in his new, large crate.  Unless new owner has an area for Whitey to run around during the day, I'd suggest crating him until they're comfortable that he "feels at home."  If I don't cause any
  vibrations or breeze when I come home, he continues to sleep until I go to
  the crate to wake him.  ;-)
  
  He's an extremely curious boxer -- gets his nose in anything that smells
  good or new.
  
• 5/25/01 - Update on Whitey:  We had a professional trainer come and check out all of our rescues here in NY East.  The trainer adored Whitey!  She said he will do anything for a liver treat:)  He knows sit and shake....at least when he knows he is getting a treat!  Whitey still resides at the kennel, for we do not have any open fosters for him.  Unfortunately, we do not know how he is with other dogs, so we can not place him in a dog home unless you are prepared to come and test him out with yours:)  He is a handsome fellow that deserves a home as soon as possible.  He will show you his appreciation - that's a guarantee!

• 5/17/01- Whitey is a white male approximately 2 years old.  He is all white with a black nose and a few cow spots scattered around.  This poor baby was a stray that came to the shelter very thin.  We do not know what happened to him, but he has a few marks on him, one across his head and others on his body.  He gives big boxer kisses, loves to play, and has lots and lots of boxer energy!  He is currently crated at his foster home and doesn't mind too much.  He needs someone that can help nurse him back to health and teach him some manners.  His foster mom has been working with him on leash walking and he is getting the hang of it.  
  
  If you have experience with dogs and want to transform this loving guy into the perfect dog, please complete the online application and call Whitey's foster mom Lynne at (718) 417-4903.  He is waiting to be rescued by you!
