Update on our Maggie girl: she attended doggie daycare yesterday and had a blast! Hopefully she slept well last night and is ready for a new day!

Black beauty Maggie is an almost 2 yr old girl surrendered because she was wayyyyy too much dog for her former owners. As you can see, she's a high energy, non stop gal who can jump 6' in the air easily. She is alpha and bossy but does get along with submissive dogs. She lived with two other older dogs in her former home. Maggie will need some obedience training, some work with house training and is not the dog for an inexperienced GSP owner. She will crate at night for bed but doesn't like it. She's a gal who is going to need a TON of exercise. Good with kids and people but a bull in a China shop so little kids can be knocked over easily and would have to be supervised around her. She does have hunt potential.

We're looking for a foster or adopter. Please read the pinned post at the top of the page for information about adoption. If you'd like to foster go to our site and complete a volunteer application. https://server1.charityadvantageservers.com/client/GSPRescueNewEngland_D3DHE0G2XF/volunteer_application.aspx

Fencing is an absolute MUST for this girl. All of our dogs are within New England and we only place here locally too.

Super sweet senior boy Charlie was surrendered by his former owner because he kept escaping their yard and attacking his neighbor's chickens. Charlie is just what you would expect of a 12ish yr old boy...quiet and clean, arthritic (but not arthritic enough to not be a true GSP and chase chickens) and just wants a home to call his own. He is healthy for a 12 yr old, up to date on all vaccines etc.. He gets along with other dogs, no cats. Fine with children. If you're a senior lover like we are this is the guy for you! Please email me if you'd like to know more. [email protected]

Our trainer is going on vacation and Sadie needed to know. It’s obvious this is a mutual love match but this girl really needs a place of her own! No dog should live on boarding for so long. Please read about adoption on the post at the top of the page and consider making this joyful girl part of your family. ❤️❤️

11 month old Uno has just come into our program and will be available for adoption soon. He’s exactly what you’d expect of an untrained 11 month old GSP. He seems to be house trained and possibly has some hunt potential. Fine with other dogs and just a happy guy.

If you’re interested in adoption please read the pinned post at the top of our page. New England residents only please and a fenced yard is required.

Folks we don’t refuse any non aggressive dog either and we have a lot of dogs in our program that need homes. Seniors Daisy, Ivy, and sweet mix Sadie have been with us the longest and need homes but there are other dogs who have come into our program that we are in the process of vetting and getting to know. It IS time to “adopt not shop!” You can read more about these dogs on the adoptables page on our website. www.gsprescuene.org

Animal shelters and rescuers, citing space issues, say they are struggling to keep up with an increase in abandoned pets like dogs and cats.

Meet Ivy (10), Daisy (11) and Junior (8 1/2), three seniors who have come into our program this week. They were surrendered to us by their owner who was unable to keep them any longer due to changing life circumstances. We're in the process of evaluating them for health and temperament and pretty soon they'll all be available for adoption. Stay tuned!

Let's talk about this photo. It's cute, except it's not. I see a dog who cannot get up without telling the child to get off. How do you think a dog is going to do that?

The 7 Golden Toddler Dog Rules:
#1: If a dog walks away from you, you DO NOT FOLLOW.
#2: Always leave room for the dog to walk away from you.
---that right there is 90+% of dog bites eliminated---
#3: We do not climb on the dog.
#4: We do not grab or pull on the dog.
#5: We do not hit or throw anything at the dog.
#6: We do not touch the dog's food.
#7: We do not go into the dog's kennel.

I promise these are not overly difficult concepts for littles, nor will they rob a kid of their bond with the family dog. It will deepen that bond, while keeping everyone safe.

"Oh, it looks like Moose is walking away from you. She is saying she wants a break. Let's play with this instead!"

"It's Moose's dinner time! Let's give her space to enjoy her yummies."

"That is Moose's room(kennel) and only she is allowed to go in there."

"If Moose wanted a break, could she walk away from you right now? No she really couldn't. Let's move away from the play house. You can keep playing but now she can leave when she wants a break."

In conclusion, ***parent your child or your dog will do it for you, and you will not like how they do it.***

6 yr old Jovi needs a new home. Not in our program, Jovi's owner has other dogs in the home with whom Jovi does not get along. Her history is a sad one. Her original owners got Jovi as a puppy and it's alleged they kept her in a closet without the ability to be socialized and not very well fed. An older female acquaintance of the original family adopted her and they lived happily together until the kindly owner developed Alzheimers. Jovi is now living with that owner's family and not doing well.

Jovi is house trained, crate trained, respectful of fencing, loves car rides, cuddling with her people and playing outside. Jovi knows the basic commands of sit, come, stop. She is good walking on lead. When just with her owner she is a fine companion. She needs a home without other dogs or children and would most likely prefer a woman because of her history. If you live a quiet life without much exposure to other dogs and just want a nice companion Jovi is your girl.

As mentioned, she is not in our program. Please email me if you'd like more information and I will put you in touch with her owner. [email protected]

Beautiful, gentle 9 yr old Nutella came to us having been surrendered by her former owner who could no longer care for her. Nutella came with a 3 year history of periodic diarrhea "due to whipworms." She is a little over 45 pounds when she probably should weigh in the 60 pound range. While Nutella has gained 1 1/2 pounds with us, diarrhea popped it's ugly head up again so we reevaluated our care plan. We've done follow up bloodwork and an ultrasound and we suspect Nutella has Cushing's Disease. Next on the agenda a test Tuesday for that which takes about half day. Our dogs get the best of care and we'll get to the bottom of what's ailing her and get her proper treatment so she can live out her senior years. She's fine where she is at our vet but if anyone near Muddy Creek Animal Care Center would like to foster her while we get her through her diagnosis and figure out what she needs that would be awesome. She gets along with everyone, dogs, kids etc. Super sweet girl.

8 yr old Jakey is not in our program but his owner needs help with rehoming him. He does not get along with the other dominant male dog in the home but obviously does well with the smaller females.

House and crate trained, Jake is up to date with all vaccines. Jake loves kids, cats not so much and will make a fine family dog. Playing ball, car rides and being with his people are all things Jake enjoys.

If you're interested in more information please email me and i will put you in touch with his owner. Jake is currently in Maine.
