Dogs currently in the possession of ACC Rescue:




Casey  casey1   casey2

"Casey" is a neutered male, age 7-8 years. Yes, he may look a bit older in these pictures as some do gray at a young age. But Casey is an active guy that enjoys socializing and making friends, and is really looking for his special person or people. He loves to 'hang out' and help with chores, go for walks etc. Casey was picked up as a stray so no background on him but he does not seem to have any temperment issues with people or dogs. He does not seem to have a lot of formal training but does bond easily and respond well to learning a routine. He will need some close observation and structure initially  in a new home but then should settle in well. While Casey has a heart of gold and the best of intentions he may be too much dog for a home with small children or pets as he may be a bit too enthusiastic. Casey  would just love to be someone's best buddy, and would love to go from his foster home to a 'real' home.
Casey is located in Boise, ID. Contact - Diane Mazy (ACC Rescue)

Molly will make a great dog for a single older woman or a couple who just want a loving and devoted companion.  (Sorry, photos taken on hot day!)

HONEY
Honey needs Cruciate Ligament Tear surgery (CLT)....please help! Send a donation in her name to NY CBR Rescue. Honey is a sweet, medium-sized heavy set  4 yr. old female. Dark brown with a little white on her chest. Loves to grin and can be soft, but will give good warning when someone's coming. Got a big bark with no bite. Honey is good with other dogs (large or medium) and older kids. Too big for small fries. With the surgery she needs, Honey will be able to enjoy many happy years with a new owner provided that her weight is maintained. The surgery is $1500-2000...even just $20 can really help this sweet Chessie. Please mail in a donation to Honey.

jd
   

A nice, gentle and affectionate 8 year old male Chesapeake Bay Retriever. JD is approximately 85 pounds and can afford to shed a few pounds with his new family. Currently he is enrolled in our obedience program to get him polished for his new family. JD is about 6 years old, neutered, current on shots, and is playful and loving. Poor JD has never had a home life - one of our sad friends left on the end of a chain for 6 years. Safe Harbor plans to change that very quickly! . For info, contact Jane Peabody, Chesapeake Safe Harbor, 207-529-4511, jpeabody@tidewater.net



BUDDY

Buddy- a 6 yr old dark brown neutered male Chessie - Buddy has been with us quite a while now and has always been protective of his space and fearful of new people coming into it, so needs ongoing socialization and obedience training. We have been working with Buddy on these areas and he has shown some notable progress. He still will require a person that will continue with his training, and that he can trust and bond to. He's extremely intelligent and has coped with his life in our rescue program very well. We would not put Buddy in a home with small children as he has never experienced them. A solitary person, with a quiet social life and room for him/her and BUddy to play and train would be the ideal home. A truly handsome Chessie - in the prime of his life and so deserving of another chance.  For info, contact Jane Peabody, Chesapeake Safe Harbor, 207-529-4511, jpeabody@tidewater.net.

Malcolm
photo

Malcolm is an extra large (111 lbs.) Chesapeake Bay Retriever with a beautiful dark brown coat who was found abandoned locally in eastern MA.  He is extremely strong and will need some training for basic obedience and leash walking.  He gets along great with dogs of any size.  He pretty much ignores cats but does like to sniff them.  He loves riding in the car and sniffing around the yard but is not interested in fetching.  He does like to play in water.  Appoximately 5 years old, he is usually mellow and does not jump up on people.  He is a sweet and happy dog who is somewhat reserved but likes to play with other dogs and is social when meeting new people.  He is being fostered with children as young as 5 and is fine with being handled.  He will try to get on the furniture if you let him!  He requires a fenced in yard.
     Malcolm does have some special needs.  He recently had surgery to remove a mast cell tumor from his left front leg.  He has a good prognosis but will need an owner who is vigilant about having growths checked as there is about a 50% recurrence rate.  In addition, he is currently on antibiotics for some skin lesions which are responding to antibiotic treatment.  He was also treated for ear infections, conjunctivitis, and hot spots but these conditions cleared up quickly and he is feeling much better.
     Currently Malcolm is owned and fostered by Canine Connections but he has been evaluated by ACC Rescue.  For adoption information on Malcolm please email Joanne Getchell, chessie@gis.net or call 617-816-7257.
