Fox



Get ready to do your happy dance - today is YOUR lucky day because I AM AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION!

Okay. So I know that getting adopted is a pretty competitive process these days….I mean, look at all of the cute and adorable rescue pooches out there! Of course, we’re all deserving of wonderful homes….so here is my resume below for your consideration. Oh ya! Don’t forget to check out the video and the link with additional photos of “yours truly” at the end of my bio!




Name: FOX

Favourite Song: Who let the Dogs out!

Favourite Quote: Don’t worry be happy!

Objective in Life: To chase, or to be chased! It gives me such joy to do either J

If I were a Human I would be: A Surgeon! I can strategically rip the stuffing out of any toy. Just give me 5 minutes!

Previous Family Experience

I lived in a home my entire life until my owner surrendered me for reasons I still do not understand.

I am well-behaved, I am crate-trained, I do my business outside…..I’m obviously very cute……what more can a dog do to get a family these days?!?!

Education

Graduated with Honors from the University of Snuggles,

With a Specialization in Bum Wiggling (Hey, have you ever tried it? Ya, it’s not as easy as it looks!)

Training (Still in paw-gress!)

*I can sit!

*I can shake-a-paw!

*I can “leave it”!

My References!

“Fox is really an amazing catch– he has the perfect balance of playfulness and cuddling and gets along great with all of the dogs he has met so far (big, small, male or female). You say “play” and he says “bring it on!” especially for a good ol’ game of chase! When he first arrived he had the urge to mark but quickly got the picture that this was not polite. While he is certainly not a high energy dog, he does love his walks – a good 20-30 minutes a day is perfect for this handsome lad!” – Foster Mom

“As Fox’s foster sister I remind him every day that I am the boss –and he is okay with that. I eat first, we play on my terms and I go out the door first (as I should since ladies go first!)” –Foster Sister

“As Fox’s foster brother, I just can’t get enough of the little guy. We play several times throughout the day and at night, we share a crate where we spoon all night long! Whoever said that grown male dogs don’t spoon is crazy because WE love it!” - Foster Brother

So…enough about me already! It’s your turn!

Fill out an adoption application and tell me a little more the family you want to make me a part of.

Help Ariel!!


Ariel came to us a few weeks ago from Kentucky. She was on
her last day to live when pulled and is an absolute joy to
have in rescue!! She was adopted out quickly however the
new forever homes circumstances change shortly after
adoption and Ariel has now been returned to us.



When Ariel arrived, she was literally crawling with ticks,
some of them larger than the size of an eraser on a pencil.
The foster mom and dad spent the evening pulling each and
everyone of them off of her and she sat patiently for this
to be done.

She was treated with Revolution twice since, and this week,
the day after she was returned, we had her in for a Lyme
test (the new adopters were to bring her in as we had this
all scheduled prior to adoption). Thankfully it was
negative but our vet found a rather large lump on her belly
and called me to suggest they do a biopsy as he's concerned
it's a mammory tumour. The quote is between $450-$750 and
he feels it should be done quickly.

In addition, LOYAL Rescue currently has 29 puppy mill dogs
to vet as well, and many of them need dental unfortunately.
One in particular was at the specialists this past Monday
and the quote is between $1750-$2200 for his dental. He
will still need to be neutered over and above that.


I know everyone is strapped right now. Pay checks keep
going down but it seems all expenses (including vetting)
just keeps going up!

I've started a ChipIn for Ariel to see if we can raise even
a few dollars towards her care. Anything donated would be
gratefully appreciated. This special girl deserves
everything we can give her, and then some. SHe's had it
rough so far but we made her a promise that her previous
life was over and that she would not ever lack for anything
again. We now need your help please, to keep Ariel healthy.

Thanks in advance for anything you can do and please, feel
free to cross-post to any and all.

Even $5, $10 donations , they go A LONG way!!!!
