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

Ruby 9's Story . . .
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
Original: “She is just so excited about everything and wants to see it all at
once.”
Ruby was relinquished to a New
Jersey shelter because the owner was not taking proper care of her. She
weighed 23 pounds. The shelter contacted MAESSR for help.
Ruby has not had a lot of
exposure to things in the world. She becomes a little amped up in
new situations but is learning to settle quickly. Her foster mom started
her on a low dose of an inexpensive supplement for her anxiety and it is
helping.
This sweet girl is crate
trained but will cry and bark for the first few minutes in the crate.
She then calms down and goes to sleep.
She sleeps on a dog bed beside her foster parents’ bed at night. She would prefer to be in the big bed, but
there is not room—sorry, Ruby!
Since she has had little
practice, Ruby pulls on the leash when walking. Her foster mom believes
that with more experience she will be okay. She is just so excited about
everything and wants to see it all at once.
Note that MAESSR will require Ruby's
adoptive family to take her through a series of obedience
classes within 90 days of adoption. MAESSR only places
puppies – even older ones – in homes that are committed to training and bonding
with the pup in obedience classes. Puppies require a lot of care, attention, and
patience. MAESSR believes the
decision to get a puppy and raise it to be a healthy, happy, and well-adjusted
dog is a serious commitment.
Ruby is also learning about
riding in the car. She is settling in and really starting to enjoy it but
will need to be tethered in the car so she does not try to help drive.
Some house manners are a work
in progress as this new girl in the home will counter-surf. She quickly
gets down when told with a stern NO that it is not acceptable.
Ruby’s had a hard life so far
but is a sweet cuddle bug that needs a family that will be firm with her while
teaching her boundaries.
