Three years ago, we made the best decision in
deciding to adopt another ESS. Zoey then came to us and is the BEST dog
ever. She is not only beautiful but so well behaved and is loved by
everyone. We can't thank MAESSR and Debbie enough for giving us Zoey. Judy Minnick, NJ

Sawyer's Story . . .
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
Original: “This sweet gentle
fellow is ALL ABOUT EXERCISE AND PLAY!“
Sawyer was found as a stray and came into MAESSR
after his two week stray hold was up at a New Jersey shelter. He is a
very petite boy who has the most gorgeous ticking on his
legs and freckles on his nose. This sweet gentle fellow is ALL ABOUT
EXERCISE AND PLAY!
Fortunately for Sawyer, he currently resides with
four male dogs who have no problem telling him when he has pushed their
patience with him. He will settle alone gated away from other dogs with
some toys and a hard bone, but is much happier rolling
and wrestling with the “guys.”
Since his foster brothers are all about the pool, he has had
his first swimming lesson. He seemed a bit panicked at first,
but, with the security of his humans, did seem to like it and wants
to go back in.
This ball of energy stays gated from the other dogs
at night and when his foster family is not home with him. Sawyer seems
good about going outside although he did have two accidents in his foster
home's house. Those folks had to learn his signals and now seem to
understand when he is trying to tell them it is potty time. He did not
like the crate initially but is now happier to go in and settle knowing that it
is a safe place to ride and to rest.
Sawyer is still a puppy at heart who pulls on his
leash walks and has tried to counter-surf a few times. He is learning “no”
and “off” quickly but will need tons of reinforcement. He wants to learn
and please. This handsome young man
listens to firm vocal corrections and checks back with his humans for praise
and confidence. MAESSR only places puppies in homes
that are committed to training and bonding with the pup in obedience classes.
Puppies require a lot of care, attention, and patience, and they do chew on
things! The decision to get a puppy and raise it to be a healthy, happy, and
well-adjusted dog is a serious commitment. To reinforce this commitment, MAESSR requires all adopters of dogs one year old and
younger to enroll their puppy in obedience classes within 60 days of adoption.
MAESSR’s new boy went to the groomer and had
obviously not been through this process before. He was spooked by the
dryer and did not like his nails being cut. The team worked slowly
and patiently to make it a positive experience for
him.
Sawyer needs a family who is able to be very firm
and set limits with him; in return, they will have a GREAT DOG. However, a
soft family not willing to correct and define limitations will quickly find this
dog walking all over them. If you are looking for a couch potato
who is happy with a walk once a week, Sawyer is not the dog for you!
This boy needs a
home that has the time to give him an hour of exercise a day and who will
actively play ball, entertain him with other toys and teach him
commands. What fun some lucky,
dedicated people with have this fall with Sawyer!!
