Dogs In Need of Loving Homes (22 July 2011)

I just wanted to post some special gimpies that need loving homes.

These posts are on behalf of Northern California Sled Dog Rescue  If you have any questions, or want to adopt, please contact them, not gimpydogs.

If you have room in your home and heart, please consider these two special pups


SKKY - 

rescued on her last days from an LA shelter, where she was dumped there due to glaucoma, she came to Norsled and had surgery to remove both her diseased and very painful eyes.

Now in recovery with her fur growing back, this dog is a role model for dealing with disability, exhibiting strength and calm under adversity, and generally loving to everyone she comes in contact with. She is remarkable at finding her way around, learning "gee" and "haw" and "left" and "right" as well as "step." She's able to navigate very well in a crowded home, and would appreciate NOT being helped into the car thank you very much!

She will need to be in a home where someone is there a lot, as she has separation distress (understandable considering her disability) and where there are no steps and hopefully an open layout. A home with no more than one other dog is ideal for Skky. The right person will meet this amazing girl, recognize her specialness, be in awe of her capabilities, and bond with her immediately. A blind dog still has the two most important senses accentuated - smell and hearing; Skky is extremely alert in all respects, very very smart and calm.

She is up to date on shots, microchipped, and all her medical records will be shared with new owner. Until the best home comes along, she is safe in a loving foster situation. To meet Skky, contact her foster mom at junosmom1@yahoo.com



Carson

Do you have in your heart to offer Carson a home?  
 
Carson, a beautiful bi-eyed 2 year old grey and white husky came into rescue with a badly damaged leg (we don't know what happened) - hand shy - and afraid of people. The leg had to be amputated, and his foster mom has been working on trying to gain his trust. 
 
He is walking well on 3 legs, but continued to be afraid of people - sweet, no mouthyness or barking, just scared. Today, for the first time in 5 weeks, he came up to his foster mom while she was working on the computer and put his head in her lap. So she thinks he is started to trust humans - and it is time for him to find his "fur"ever home. 
 
Would you be interested in adopting this sweet boy?  Gets along well with the other 3 dogs - boys and girls - at his foster home. Housebroken, good in a crate. Loves rawhide chews, chicken, hamburger. chedder cheese and pita chips.
 
Email rescue@norsled.org for information on adopting Carson. He is in the San Francisco/San Jose area.
