Marco Mario

Hi Everyone!  
 
It's Marco Mario here!  Like my buddy Hobo I am from the Parkland Pound and I also had quills when I first came in. I have a long story to tell but I'm going to just give you a few details here.  You will have to call Rescue for Life and come visit me to learn my whole story!  
 
I am a medium size dog at about 65 lbs and I have had a rough life and managed to survive to middle age with the help of my friend Hobo, Rescue for Life, and some other kind folks.  I have some battle scars but I hope that does not scare you away from me - I have just been in some scuffles that I did not deserve.
 
 
I am more submissive in nature and I love being cuddled.  I am now neutered and am working on my training.
 
I am looking for my forever family - I would love to join you for the upcoming holidays since I have never experienced this yet.  My perfect family would give me lots of walks, provide a kennel for me, have a 6ft fenced area, take me to an obedience class, give me lots of snuggles, and maybe have a doggy friend I could be friends with. 
 
If you are interested in adopting me please contact Rescue for Life at (780) 702-6151 or info@rescue4life.org  
 
Age: Unknown (middle-age)

Hi!

I'm 8 weeks old and I am so lucky and also very smart! I chased down the right car and I am now getting to start a new life.

I was very thin and a little bit mangy when brought in but I am gaining lots of weight now with my yummy food. I was vet-checked and have been dewormed so my belly is not so bloated and upset anymore.

I love other dogs and I love cats too! Guess what...I'm pretty much house-trained too! I told you I am smart! I am also working on my crate-training and learning not to bark in the house. I know the command "sit" and I sit very pretty for a treat.

I am a German Shep cross and I will lover puppy and obdience school because I am so so smart. I will be about 60 pounds when full grown.

I am looking for my special forever home! If you think we would be a great match please give us a call at (780) 702-6151 or contact us at info@rescue4life.org

My adoption fee will include my spay (at 6 months), vaccinations, vet-check, and deworming.

Age: 8 weeks olds
Sex: Female (to be neutered at 6 months)
Weight: 10 pounds (will be about 60 when full grown)
Breed: German Shep cross

 

 

 

 

 

 

Princess Mya

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.

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.

Age: 11 months old
