Rescue For Life

Feb 22: I was returned to Rescue for Life as my family did not think I was a match. Over the past couple months my Foster Mommy and new pack has taught me lots of things. I am still on the shyer side and excel better with other dogs around. Everything is still new but if you do things in baby steps with me I do adapt! I now enjoy going for walks with my brother Jasper and sister Petra. I can only walk on a harness as I was tramautized by something around my neck in my past. I respond very well to my harness and I even walk out in front of my brother and sister with lots of confidence! I am now starting to look for my forever family. I would like my forever family to have at least one other dog becuase I still rely on other dogs for my confidence.

Oct 16: Hi...it's me Princess. I am now known as Princess Miah and called just Miah because it was so confusing for Prince and myself. Now I have to make sure that I don't get confused with my two-legged sister's name - her name is Moriah! I want to tell you how much I LOVE my new family. I have the same family as my Prince and I am so so happy about this. I am still learning so much, especially how to trust and even just really basic stuff. My whole family is so kind and gentle with me. I get lots of treats and pets also. For the rest of this year I get to just "settle in" but in the new year I am going to go to obdience classes with my whole family to learn lots of new stuff. Stay tuned for new pics!

Sept 1: It's us...Prince and Princess. Do you recognize us? A few months ago Rescue for Life sent out an email on us looking for foster/adoption homes and noone responded at the time. It became criticial that we be rescued because we got into porcupines and had faces full of quills! On the weekend of of August 29-30 seven volunteers organized a rescue mission to bring us in.

It was one of the hardest rescues Rescue for Life completed because I was very very shy and not sure of people - I was never treated very kindly in my previous life. It took about 10 hours over two days but we brought in both Princess and Prince. They were both brought to the vets and in the past week have recovered from quills and also being spayed/neutered.

Princess: I am a young gal just starting my life! As you can see I am a very pretty girl with many different colors in my fur! Now I love being petted and can't stand to be not around my foster folks! I am a Shep Collie cross and very smart. I made my rescuers be very patient over the course of two days - when I finally felt comfortable I went into the kennel with the yummy food. I had lots of quills removed from my face and in the past week I got spayed!

Although I would love to get adopted with my Prince, it's not required. I would love to go to a home with another dog since I gain confidence from other dogs.
