🙏 Desperate plea 🙏
Waiting since March & May! It’s hard no to be discouraged, it’s hard not to feel like we are letting these beautiful dogs down. 💔
It’s becoming more and more clear that there is no huge list waiting to adopt dogs in Newfoundland anymore. We have 4 dogs waiting for homes right now. At one time we would have dozens of applications come in for any dog posted. Now it’s much different, especially for dogs who have issues like Jip & Hazel.
Hazel & Jip have had no luck and very little interest. They are both aggressive to other animals and need to be the only pet in the home. They both need experienced owners and people who are committed to them. People who truly want them and will love them.
Hazel has been in our care since March. She absolutely loves the staff and volunteers, a little weary of strangers but warms up quickly. She is so loveable it hurts to know she spends most her time alone. With 4 dogs and 58 cats there is not a lot of one on one time for any of the animals although we try our best. Hazel loves any attention she gets. She has basic training, listens well. She is strong and active but loves flopping down on her bed as well. It is so painful she’s been waiting so long when she has so much love to give. 💔 Hazel is around 6 years old, spayed, fully vaccinated. She needs a home as an only and does have free rehab training (for dog aggression) located in Clarenville.
Jip has similar needs to Hazel. He needs to be the only pet in the home with an experienced owner. He has changed so much since coming to the shelter in May. He doesn’t need someone who’s going to be harsh, just patient and strong. He is a massive puppy who does want to please humans and needs help learning manners. Jip is also neutered, fully vaccinated and has free training (for dog aggression) located in Clarenville.
There are so many judgements when it comes to holding these dogs. So many people have questioned:
What will happen to them?
When will you euthanize them?
Why can’t another rescue take them?
I don’t know what will happen to them but I know what won’t. They will not be euthanized, they will not be snuffed out because their past was unkind. These are beautiful, loveable dogs. It’s not their fault they ended up here and it’s not their fault they haven’t had all the love and opportunities other animals have. They deserve happy endings and they have to find it. That said living in a shelter FULL OF ANIMALS is NOT suitable for 2 animal aggressive dogs. They need our help, they need homes!
I have reached out to Akita rescues/breeders for help. If you know anyone, anywhere who would make a great home for these dogs please apply. Please. We are desperate for them.
