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

Casey 18's Story . . .
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
Original: “He loves putting his feet in the river and then running in circles
through the sand at high speed.”
Although it is rare for MAESSR to have puppies for placement, Casey and his
littermate Katie came into MAESSR’s care when a Springer breeder in Maryland
developed serious health problems and had to rehome his dogs.
Casey came to his foster
home as a 12- week old puppy along with Katie.
He was welcomed by the two resident Springers and soon established them
as his “aunties.” His foster home also has a bunny, but, sadly, he was told to
stay back because he makes the bunny nervous.
Casey is very bright and
eager to learn and please. He enjoys
running outside and taking long walks with his foster mom. He loves putting his feet in the river and
then running in circles through the sand at high speed. When in the house, he cuddles with his foster
mom or his “aunties” on the sofa or plays with his toys with his sister. His favorite toys are a very squeaky octopus,
balls, and training bones. Casey knows
his name and behaves himself in the house but will play rough with his sister. For
the most part, he will calm down once his name is called.
Recently Casey’s foster mom
had her grandchildren visit. They are
ages 4 and 6. Mr. C. had a great time
with them and loved having them play with him.
He has also met most of the neighborhood dogs and plays alongside them
with no problem.
Casey is a good eater and
does not guard his dish but is willing to share. As for water, typical puppy, he can be a bit
sloppy. He does not counter surf—good boy!!
This handsome boy walks well
(for a puppy) on a leash but will benefit from training. He is a quick learner, is learning sit by
speech and hand signal and will lift his paw for a shake.
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 Casey will be the star of the class! Casey
still does not signal “out” for the
potty but when he starts to wander, his foster mom takes him outside.
His housetraining is progressing. He has only made a few mistakes and
will keep
his crate and play pen clean and wait until he is outside to go potty.
When his foster is not at
home, Casey stays in his inside playpen (a large wire kennel) He has spent
time in his inside playpen by himself and does not seem too distressed. Casey sleeps in his crate at night and is
quiet after a treat. He likes to have
the crate covered with a sheet so that he will not be distracted. Lately he has been playing a game of hide and
seek to avoid going into the crate but will settle down once in and be quiet. At night, sometimes, Casey discovers the other
dog in the reflection in the door and is quite the guard dog. He cannot understand why that puppy can’t
come in when his foster mom opens the door!
Casey is a very friendly
puppy, a great cuddle and soft mannered.
His foster family will miss him and know that his forever family will
love him just as they do.
