Featured pets: Reese and Poutine
Reese and Poutine were recently surrendered from a commercial breeding facility and as such they lack socialization. As a result, both are a little timid but very sweet and gentle. Once they are settled into a loving home where they feel safe and secure, they'll be just fine. With us for less than a week, they are already showing signs of being more trusting (Reese in particular) and both are definitely cuddle bugs.
Poutine is a Miniature Dachshund and Reese is a Miniature Schnauzer. Both are 8 years old which means they are too old to breed and therefore no longer of use. Their little lives matter though and after 8 years of neglect, we are committed to ensuring they can look forward to a lifetime of doggie happiness. They deserve long leisurely walks in the park, soft beds to sleep in, treats to enjoy and toys to play with but mostly they deserve a whole lot of love and a whole lot of cuddles.
Having had no opportunity to walk on leash, Poutine and Reese lack experience. Reese is beginning to get the hang of it, but Poutine doesn't get it all so there is some work to be done in this regard. Adopters should also expect to continue working on their housetraining but with time and patience they'll figure that out too.
A trip to our vet has revealed that both Reese and Poutine are in need of major dental. Poutine's teeth are so bad she is drooling and shows signs of infection. As a precaution, both dogs are on antibiotics. We fully expect both will have quite a few teeth removed but they are troopers and once they've recovered they will feel so much better. The surgery will be done this coming Friday and we'd love to get them into their adoptive homes soon after.
It's time these two lovely and gentle girls know what it feels like to be a cherished member of a loving family.
