Marinas Independent Rescue is helping Miss Suki find her furever home. She's an 8 month old Mini Shar Pei. She is a beautiful, shy girl who does well with other dogs, cats & older children. Her adoption fee is $350.00, $100 of which will be refunded when she is spayed. She is housebroken. This poor girl has never been shown any love or affection so everything will need to be taken in baby steps with her. If you are interested, please contact Marina at 716.803.1388.

Fostering dogs is a key step in the process of keeping previously unwanted canines from being killed. While many potential pet owners are interested in adopting dogs that come from a shelter or other negative situations, many individuals are not equipped to help the dog make the transition into a normal home. By fostering dogs and using your skill, patience and understanding of a dog's unique needs, you can help the dog adjust to life in a healthy domestic setting and ensure that it will have a smooth and successful transition into the life and home of its new owner.
In the same way that kids sometimes have to be placed into foster care while a permanent adoptive situation is found, pets sometimes need a place to stay while a long-term care solution is developed. In some cases, this may involve a stay of only be a few weeks or it may be as long as three or four months.
Responsibilities
The ultimate goal and responsibility of someone who is fostering dogs is to see that the dogs are adopted into a home where the animal can thrive. There are several ways that rescue groups may come to have dogs that need foster care. The first is a direct placement. Sometimes families move and are unable to take their dog with them. In other instances, the dog may have come from the home of someone deployed overseas in the military. In these cases, long-term foster care may be required but with the owner wishing to reclaim their pet eventually.
The second way that dogs come to be in foster care is through the local pounds and shelters. When a dog comes into a shelter, it is made available for adoption, but it is also given a kill date. If the dog hasn’t been adopted by the pre-determined date, one of two things happens: It is either euthanized or it is picked up by a rescue group.
These rescue groups are the ones who place the dogs into foster care. Once the rescued dog has been placed, it is the responsibility of the family or individual fostering dogs to make sure that the dog is cared for and finds an adoptive family. The rescue group will generally provide the resources to make this possible and usually works to put adoptive families in touch with foster families.
How to Get Involved
If you think that you might be interested in fostering dogs, there are several ways to get involved. The first is to contact your local animal shelter or pound. Ask them what the local rescue groups are and whether they have any contact information. People who are passionate about dogs and saving the animals from euthanasia generally run rescue groups. When you talk to the people, they are going to try to get a sense about how passionate you are about dogs and the rescue cause. They want to be sure that they are placing dogs in a home where they will be well cared for and in good condition for adoption.

Remember My Gentle Giant Rescue Mason his mom and dad our the picture on my page here is a update from his mom:
Hi Marina,
This is just a quick video of Mason yesterday in the heat. He LOVES water and playing in it, even if it is only a dish of ice water.

He continues to make friends with other dogs in the neighborhood. He isn't barking as much or being as protective. I think it was just getting his confidence up. He knows I'm going to come back for him. I just love his personality. He is just so funny and loving. My neighbors are very amazed by him and see him as the big puppy that he is. I'm thankful that they can see that he is just a puppy with a lot of exuberance.

He garnishes a lot of attention because of his size and let's face it, he is one gorgeous boy. I am wary of him with kids, only because he is very physically playful and very agile. I've never seen a dog his size as quick as he is. Additionally, he tends to jump up at taller/older men even after we are just standing around chatting. Because he's so quick, I need to be very aware not that he wants to hurt, but that is a protective reaction. It happens mostly if they start talking with their hands. I've had Mason long enough now that I can predict his reaction.

His muscles are developing nicely. He walks so proud and strong that I actually see people pointing and smiling when they see him from their cars. It's amazing how his presence commands attention. He still tries to attack motorcycles, muscle cars, big trucks, basically any vehicle with loud motors. He may never stop that, but he hasn't gotten away from me yet!

It's that time of year again. Independence Day is quickly approaching. Although fun for humans, it can be horrifying for pets. Each year hundreds of pets are lost or injured because of the panic caused by loud fireworks. Here are a few tips to help minimize the trauma and keep them safe:

➧ Keep pets at home. Do not take them to fireworks displays or holiday events where there could be fireworks.

➧ Bring all pets indoors.

➧ Select a suitable "safe" room to keep your pets in until the fireworks are over. An interior room with no windows is best. Remove all sharp objects and anything that could injure your pets. Set up pet beds, make sure the temperature is comfortable, give them their toys, treats, food and water.

➧ Close the blinds and curtains. If your pet stays in a crate while indoors, cover it with a blanket.

➧ Keep the lights on, and turn on the radio or television at a normal volume level.

➧ Double-check that they are wearing collars with your contact information on them. Make sure that all tags and microchips are current and up to date.

➧ If possible, stay with your pets until the fireworks are over. Be aware that in a state of panic, your pet may scratch or bite you out of fear. Slow, quiet and gentle behavior on your part will help to soothe them and minimize the risks.

➧ Never punish your pets for their reactions to fireworks or other loud noises.

➧ Observe your pets for signs of lingering stress and panic for at least an hour after the fireworks have ended before letting them go outdoors.

➧ Check your yard for any unexploded fireworks before letting them off-leash.

Have great 4th of July holiday, and be safe!
