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

Bo 15's Story . . .
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
Original: “Bo has been a wonderful dog in his foster home.”
Bo was relinquished to MAESSR after he nipped
the trash collection person at his Pennsylvania home. It was a very minor nip,
but the person had to report it because he was bitten while on the job. He
did not require any medical attention. This was the only time Bo had ever
bitten. There had been a lot of chaos and upheaval in the home due to a
divorce, and the owner thought that might have been affecting Bo. It was
very heartbreaking to let Bo go, but everyone felt it was the best move for him.
Bo was the owner’s ex-husband’s dog, bought for
hunting but never trained in any way and he had never hunted. He lived on
a farm and Bo was allowed to roam the farm with no boundaries or supervision.
Bo's family included children 2 years old and 7
years old. He was great with the 7 year old but had growled at the toddler when
the child would hit Bo. The 2 year old had a tendency to bother Bo.
Bo barks at things in his environment that he
sees moving. He chews on his blanket. He is housetrained, doesn't use
a crate, and has full freedom in the house. He begs and counter-surfs
given the chance. Bo knows “sit,” “shake,” and “lie down,” but has had no
training. Having seldom walked on leash, Bo will pull on the leash. He is a good
passenger in the car.
He is okay at the groomer; his previous owner
said that the vet muzzled him when his ears needed treating. When he went
to the vet with his foster mom, Bo was an angel – even when they were treating
his ears.
Bo has been a wonderful dog
in his foster home. His foster mom is recommending a home without children
under the age of 15 to allow him to have a calmer environment. It is also
strongly suggested that Bo is taken to a series of obedience classes. This
will enhance the bonding with his new family and will show him proper manners.
This nice boy is looking for
a family to give him love, security, and guidance. Would that be your family?
