The dogs are still living with their owners but need to find a new home. Each of these dogs has been evaluated by Peppertree and -- based on that evaluation and on information from the owner -- we consider them as qualified to be taken into our program .... if we had room. (We must note, however, that we do not have the detailed knowledge that we gain about dogs that are actually in the program and in our own foster homes.)
As space and time permit, we will be taking some, perhaps all, of these dogs into our program. Our priority, however, must always be the equally-qualified dogs who are in shelters and have no more time left. In the meantime, you are encouraged to consider these dogs and to arrange a meeting if you feel they may be suitable for your home. The owner's contact information is listed below the description. (Where Peppertree has agreed to do the screening, that will be indicated.)
If you think that you might be interested in fostering one of these dogs for Peppertree, please email rescue@peppertree.org. Whenever we are informed by an owner that a dog in this category is available to come to a clinic, a description of the dog will be included in the clinic announcement sent to all active applicants.
Please note: The dogs listed below are not yet in the Peppertree program. For information on any of the dogs listed below, please refer to the contact information that is listed in each dog's description.
DAISY - Hound Mix, female, 6 years. Daisy is looking for a new home because a family member has developed severe allergies to her. Originally, Daisy came from a local shelter and has been with her current family for two years. She does need to learn some leash manners, but is spayed, house broken and good in the house. Daisy is very interested in cats, and in general would be best placed in a home without cats, but she will leave more dog savvy cats alone. Daisy’s only issue is a fear of tall men, especially those with hats. She is not aggressive at all, just fearful of them. This is a fear that can be overcome with time. Daisy is a very sweet girl looking for a new place to rest her head. If you would like to meet Daisy, please contact Angela at jetsfan2651@nycap.rr.com. (4/29/10)
PENNY - Border Collie Mix, female, 1 year old. Penny is a lovely girl who is looking for a more appropriate home. True to her breed, she has a lot of energy and “needs a job”. She is great with people, though a bit shy in the beginning. How she is with children is unknown. While Penny currently lives with another dog, she does have food guarding issues with the dog (though not with people). She should be in a home as an only dog or with a good alpha dog who will give her the structure she needs. How she is with cats is unknown. Contact Donna at 516-474-0023 (cell) (Albany, NY area).

BUDDY - Husky/Lab/Hound, male, 8 years. Buddy has quite a personality. He is leery of new people at first but once he knows you he is a great, fun boy ! Buddy has excellent house manners, has a very playful personality and loves to give you his paw ( of course getting a cookie ). He will need to be the only pet and he does have a "prey drive" for small animals so no cats. He is a jumper so a high fence with supervision is a must. Buddy was very upset when he first came into rescue as he had had the same family for all of his life but he has now adjusted and really is a great dog. If you are interested in this wonderful boy please contact Keeper Rescue at keeperrescue@gmail.com telling us a little about yourself, your location, and please include a phone number. "Middle aged men can be quite a catch".

MADDIE - Golden Retriever/Lab Mix, female, 2 years. Maddie has a gentle, loving personality and is often on her back waiting for a belly rub. She is never late for dinner and is always ready for a cookie (you will see she is licking her lips in her photo)! Maddie loves everyone and children that are gentle. She would be best as an only dog as she tends to be jealous of other dogs and wants her "people" all to her self. Going for walks, a ride in the car or sniffing new things outside are great fun for her. Maddie also loves having her hair brushed! Maddie's previous owners did not have a lot of time for her so she wants a home where she is fussed over ! She will make a wonderful family pet or companion for one person. If you are interested in adopting this sweet young lady please contact Keeper Rescue at keeperrescue@gmail.com telling us a little about yourself, your location and a phone number. (6/9/10)
RD - Red Bone Hound, male, 4 years. “RD” has personality plus! What a sweet boy and exceptionally smart too. He is great with other dogs and kids who are gentle and he loves it when company comes to visit. We advise against cats. RD is looking for his forever family where he will be a house dog and a part of the family. He is housebroken, walks well on a leash, loves to ride in the car (grabbing a burger on the way home) and has great house manners. He is a fence jumper if something gets his attention and he would run so precautions would have to be taken. He does not like to be left outside alone for long periods. He is neutered, negative for Heartworm/Lyme disease, current with Rabies/Distemper vaccinations, and he has been wormed. If you are looking for a wonderful pet he will surely make a great addition to your home. If you are interested in this young man contact Keeper Rescue at keeperrescue@gmail.com. (6/6/10)
