Sealy💜
update on our sweet sweet girl…..

Sealy is one of the sweetest dogs we have ever met. She has loved every dog she has met and every person she has met! She is a very submissive girl.

She dearly loves to go for a ride in the car!
She loves to snuggle.

Since we saved her from living in a pen (in a dark barn) in the country for two years, new noises make her anxious. She in NO WAY acts ugly in anyway, you can just tell new noises make her anxious. She is not accustomed to city noises or noises in a house. She’s getting better.

We have been working on desensitization about the noises but this is still something she really needs help with.

To see all her postings/bio/background/more videos and pics … click here on her hashtag:

Update
SEALY IS IN A FOSTER HOME IN VA BEACH 🎉

💛

WARNING ……. HEART DOG 😃💛

Sealy is doing wonderful in her foster home. It’s been said many times that SEALY IS GOING TO UNDOUBTEDLY BE SOMEONE’S “HEART DOG”!

Her background story:
https://fb.watch/nGL989v3UE/?mibextid=cr9u03

She’s on a wonderful journey now learning about the world outside of a dark barn she lived in for two years. How a dog is still so very sweet after living that kind of life of total isolation is amazing!

For now she is getting very comfortable with her “safe place” which is her foster home now.
The outside world is still a bit overwhelming to her. Loud noises and a lot of chaos makes her nervous, rightfully so after living in a closed up barn for two years!!
She still doesn’t react in any negative way when all new things are around her, but we can tell she gets anxious. So the best thing for her is to SLOWLY introduce her to the world.

She was taken to Home Depot on one of her outings since she loves to ride in the car and she was overwhelmed. So we have now slowed things back down for her.
SHE DEARLY LOVES RIDING IN A CAR!!!
She loves to go visit another playful dog and run around in their backyard!
She hesitates sometimes to get out of the car. Again, this is understandable since everything is new to her and she feels safe in the car.

Sealy loves her people, she is very affectionate and loves, loves, loves to cuddle🥰
Sealy does what we call “flea bites” to people and sometimes other dogs. She will nibble on your sleeve but if you raise your sleeve and expose your skin she stops. We think perhaps the nibbling brings her comfort and appears to be the way she shows affection.
For this reason, and ONLY this reason we think that although she LOVES children that she might do better with older kids. The nibbling might scare a younger child.
She is also a bull in a china shop so knocking down a child out of excitement could definitely happen.

She gets along very well with other dogs! She loves to run and play with them!!

Loud and new sounds are her biggest issues right now. This sends her running to her safe place (home). ALL NOISES ARE NEW TO HER! She was in a barn on a property in the country where it was very quiet.
For now we are focusing on helping her gain confidence, giving her lots of love and patience and slow introductions to the outside world.

Sealy may just end up being a homebody dog…. a Netflix partner….. one to share your popcorn, love and cuddles….. and that’s ok!
She may not be the dog to go to festivals, outings ect. but maybe in time she might learn to enjoy it.
She does like parks (not dog parks), loves to go sniff around! Saying a “homebody” dog by no means does that mean she’s a couch potato! She has energy… needs to always get the proper exercise and enrichment. By “homebody” we mean she feels very safe at home and for now that’s what we want for her.

Please remember she knows ZERO about the outside world! She’s soaking in the love and comfortable being inside now!

She is still working on her leash manners but has come a long way! She may do the usual pull but if you stop and let her know you’re not going further she immediately stops pulling. She knows “sit” and “down”.
She is treat motivated so that makes training easier.
She gets a bit anxious for fear you will leave her. Until she learns more and trusts more for now she would do better in a home where someone is home more than not home.

Sealy is not a candidate for someone that’s wanting to adopt their FIRST DOG. She’s a typical Bulldog/bully that is loving, sweet but needs to learn more. She needs a patient and understanding home. Someone that understands she was isolated for two years so everything is new to her. If she goes off in your car sometimes she doesn’t want to get back out …. Sometimes she doesn’t want to leave her porch…. These are her safe places for now….. she will learn in time WITH PATIENCE.

Summary:
-Approx 3 years old (2 of those years in a dark barn)
-Approximately 56 pounds
-Up-to-date on core vaccines, spayed and
microchipped, heartworm negative, up-to-date on heartworm and flea and tick prevention.
-Friendly with small and large dogs but it would probably be best if she had a dog her size to play with
-we do not want her to be crated all the time… she needs a set up when you are not home where she can stay safe (and also protect property from chewing or any damage) we can suggest a perfect set up for her. SHE WAS CLOSED UP IN A BARN FOR TWO YEARS …. So we don’t want her closed up in a crate for hours!!
-Loves children (prefer older unless you have bulldog/bully experience and know how to train and have very respectful children)
-requiring a safely fenced in backyard so she can always play freely

➡️➡️➖SEALY IS NOT A CANDIDATE FOR A FIRST TIME DOG. SHE NEEDS TO CONTINUE BEING INTRODUCED TO THE WORLD SHE HAS MISSED OUT ON! She needs continued training and has a typical BULLDOG/BULLY personality and energy to go with it. She’s a LOT OF DOG but one of the sweetest we’ve ever met!
Wonderful temperament🎊💛
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖

🛑WE NEED A FOSTER STARTING
SEPTEMBER 28!! 🛑 she’s in a temporary foster home due to having to bring her quickly into rescue. Perfect time to foster to decide whether to adopt!

➡️➡️⛔️EastCoastCanineAlliance has not been active in pulling dogs anymore. We do the occasional dogs when there’s a foster and help Bertie County Humane Society
WE ARE TRYING TO KEEP SEALY FROM HAVING TO GO BACK TO THE SHELTER! Please consider fostering ! Share share share!

Sealy was adopted out two years ago from the Bertie Shelter.
EastCoastCanineAlliance (ECCA) is working directly with Bertie County Humane Society to help Sealy.

😢We found out she never lived inside after adopted. We were sent a horrific picture of her by someone and it showed her living in a filthy pen inside of a barn that had trash and f***s all over the pen. There was a plastic dog crate with no insulation in the pen that was supposedly her house 💔 There was a concrete pad…. No grass. No carpet. Nothing soft.
In the pics you can see light through the barn wallboards, so obviously cold temperatures and wind were felt by her and no fans or anything to protect her from extremely hot temperatures. You could even see where she was chewing on the dog crate out of boredom 💔

When she was at the shelter she was nothing but sweet, friendly, submissive and just wanted love.
The thought of what she has been through for two years rips our hearts out.
Things changed as far as using a different adoption application/contract for dogs adopted from the shelter, not long after this girl was adopted from the shelter. So we are hoping this never happens again. It’s just sad that she was adopted out before those apps/contracts were changed. We know there’s no guarantee even with the most careful screening that this couldn’t happen, but more thoroughness truly helps! She deserved MUCH BETTER!!!!

She has suffered from:
ISOLATION the loneliness is earth shattering!
LIVING OUTSIDE in a pen in an uninsulated barn (not temperature controlled)
NO SUNLIGHT in the barn
NO HEARTWORM PREVENTION
NO BATHS (her body and her ears were disgustingly dirty💔)
NO TRAINING
(why train a dog stuck in a barn?😢)

AFTER ALL THAT SHE HAS BEEN THROUGH….. AND SHE IS STILL THAT SWEET GIRL THAT EVERYONE FELL IN LOVE WITH AT THE SHELTER Her spirit appeared broken for a while but once she realized she was safe and LOVED her spirit for life returned.
IT IS LIKE SHE IS FINALLY GETTING TO EXPERIENCE PUPPYHOOD! 💜🎉

When I worked on getting her into rescue it was very stressful because I was afraid that there would be a fight to get her surrendered. The thoughts of how to convince someone to surrender her were stressful. It’s not like in that area there are any ordinances to protect dogs from living like this. So to convince someone to surrender her was her only chance. Once I prepared myself and made the call ……..
That went extremely smooth, to the point that that tells you she was not really wanted. I have never been so relieved once she was surrendered and gone from there. My heart was in shambles.

💛💛I grabbed a foster fast! This lady has been incredible!! To say she’s wonderful is a huge understatement !! Without a foster Sealy could’ve never been saved from the torturous life she was living. 💛💛 the foster is the reason she’s now safe. ⛔️HOWEVER….. this is a temp foster that cannot foster after September 28!!! We need a foster by then!!

SHE DID NOT EVEN RECOGNIZE HER NAME. We even asked for any nicknames and she doesn’t recognize any of them. Didn’t when we first got her and doesn’t now. 😩.
Foster mom lovingly named her Sealy. She is learning her name now 💕
Sealy means blessed💕

Sealy was very fearful in the beginning because she was not accustomed to attention and all the love she is getting now. Her first free run in a fenced in yard , having grass on her paws instead of a concrete pad, was enough to make the coldest of hearts get emotional !
She’s free now and always will be!
No more pens!! No more isolation!!
No more living outside!!! No more darkness in a barn….. she will see and enjoy the SUNSHINE everyday of her life now! 🌞🎉 (and on a cloudy day she will be INSIDE, safe, comfortable and on a soft bed!)

She was pulling horribly on a leash in the beginning (go figure!) but is doing terrific at learning now.
She could not walk very far in the beginning because she was in poor physical shape. She needed exercise so her back-end was extremely weak. You don’t get much exercise in a pen!!!!
That’s getting much better now with consistent walks, running around a fenced backyard and losing some weight.
Her skin is so much better now! It was horrible when we got her. She even looks a different color now. She appeared more grey and now a gorgeous sable. The dirty water from the first bath was simply heartbreaking.
She is still overweight and can stand to lose some weight. She’s lost some but this needs to continue.
She probably weighed around 64 pounds when we got her and she is down to approximately 56 pounds now. She’s getting there 💜

This is all the repercussions of her living in a pen for TWO YEARS!

When we asked what she was being fed we were told “kibble and bits” 😳 but we think human food was fed to her due to her being so overweight. However, a dog that gets no exercise can easily become overweight.
She is on a healthier food and gets plenty of exercise now. She’s loving life!

☕️☕️OK maybe 2 cups of Joe 😂😂
People need to know her story!!!!

Sealy is around 3 years old. So at a year old she was placed in a barn, alone 😩😩💔

She is NOT low energy. Medium to maybe a little high at times. She does like toys now and is playful but does like to jump at you and even though she is good with children we are recommending children 10 and over.
REMEMBER she had been penned up for two years!

🛑Someone with bull dog, bully experience would be a plus. She’s a TANK 😂 a sweet sweet tank!

She can be considered house trained now as long as you are vigilant in letting her out, as with all dogs.

Sealy has done well with a larger dog and a small dog.
She is starting to love her walks… She loves children… She is friendly with new dogs… she’s even friendly with a horse🎉

SHE LOVES EVERYONE!
This girl is so grateful, submissive, sweet and it’s amazing how forgiving they can be!!
