Ruthie
Ruthie came in from a neglect case where she was kennelled her entire young life. She was one of the lucky few hounds to make it out of the previous shelter. She came to us emaciated and needing medical attention. But she is now healthy and at a normal weight and learning how to do lots of things! Ruthie is crate trained and is making progress on potty-outside training, basic commands, and “being polite”. She’s extremely treat motivated and although she does not have a lot of basic obedience yet, she walks awesome on a leash and really enjoys being engaged and given learning opportunities. She’s a diamond in the rough , but anyone who knows hounds, knows they make great, fun-loving, joyful family companions. She is cat friendly! And yes, she does bay.
Ok with cats
Macy
Macy is a 50 lb, two-year-old husky mix who has beautiful heterochromatic eyes and a fun upbeat personality. She knows how to sit before her meals and is working on some simple basic obedience- she’s a very smart girl!
She has a good heart and would make a really nice companion. She needs to continue learning how to walk loose leash… but we have started her on that learning goal and she’s doing well!
She didn’t have the best start in life- someone dumped her at a southern shelter and she was transported up to New England by someone who then dumped her because they weren’t ready to have a younger dog in their house. Then she was passed on to a person who hired a trainer who used adversives with her and when she came to us, although she was still surprisingly upbeat, she was very confused by humans and was nervous, easily distracted, and needing a good decompression/rest.
She is now settled in and sits quietly in her crate waiting for outings. She loves a nice treat and a fun toy. She does tease the other dogs and they seem to think she’s a little bit annoying. We would like to find her a home where she can be the only dog for a bit and get all of the attention.
