Adoption fee of $62 includes license and refundable $35 spay/neuter deposit. We take CASH ONLY, no checks, or credit cards. Because most of our dogs in the kennel are strays, we do not have any knowledge about each individual dog's background, so we cannot make any health claims or behavior assurances concerning our dogs. We offer a hold system, but please be advised that more than one person can put a "hold" on the same dog. (The person with the first hold may adopt the dog on the day it can go...72 hrs after its been at the pound; if the first hold doesn't show, the second hold gets the dog, etc) Please call the pound at 330-451-2343 to check on the dog's availability before driving a long distance. Rescue groups with 501(c)3 status can pull a dog for a reduced fee, but must show documentation of non-profit status All pets are eligible for one month free Sheltercare Pet Insurance.

A lady opened her refrigerator and saw a rabbit sitting on one of the shelves.
"What are you doing in there?"
she asked.
 
The rabbit replied:
"This is a Westinghouse, isn't it?",
to which the lady replied
"Yes."
"Well," the rabbit said,
"I'm westing."
 
 

Sorry... I couldn't stop myself.

4YO Neutered Male Weimaraner

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reply to: sale-145961907@craigslist.org
Date: 2006-03-28, 11:00AM EST


I have a 4-year-old male Weimaraner. He's in excellent health, is well trained (including house trained and general commands like sit, down, pick it up, leave it, etc.). He's neutered.

I'm looking to find a better home for him because my 3YO step-daughter is an absolute princess. She screams non-stop whenever Flint is "out" (of the basement). She can't stand doggy breath, etc. Flint treats her well, she just can't stand associating with someone below "princess" level. :-P So when she's home, Flint is in the basement, and that's not much of a life for a dog. I'd like him to have a better home.

You can view some pictures here:
http://iacas.org/asm/flint/1.jpg (through 17.jpg)

He comes with three months (approx.) of Heart Guard and Frontline. He comes with a bed, a leash, food, a food bin, some toys, collars, etc. I'm only looking for a better home, not someone new to pet ownership. He's free, but please, serious inquiries only.

I'm in Erie, PA but I'm willing to drive to drop him off.

Uther ***NEW STORY***
Ch. Acorn Hill Uther Pendragon CGC,TDI

(Ch. Iron Hills Warwagon x Arrabelle of Acorn Hill CD)

Breeder: Mary Louise Owen




Submitted by Susan Krauser who owned and loved Uther

Even as a puppy Uther loved visiting schools, nursing homes, hospitals, etc.  He was a part of the ‘petting zoo’ at our veterinarian clinic every single year, as part of their celebration of National Pet Week.  He was in an enclosure with adult and baby animals of all kinds, who were petted and loved by the children who came to visit.  There were ducks, rabbits, goats, sheep, kittens and puppies in the enclosure with him.




We were regular visitors at one elementary school, and Uther was “Mudge” at every visit.  The teacher would read one of the Henry and Mudge books to her class, and Uther and I would participate.  In the upper grades, the students would read their reports on the Old English Mastiff aloud to the rest of the class.  The report was a required “to do” before Uther could come.  In other schools we gave talks to the children on dog safety and the importance of good veterinary care.  And, we answered all the usual questions that children ask about Mastiffs.  How big is he, how much does he eat, etc.




At nursing homes, his great head would rest quietly on the beds of the patients.  There, he would be patted and loved.  I found it truly amazing how much a gentle dog could actually bring back to the elderly who were suffering from Alzheimer’s.  If they had been a dog lover in years past, sometimes the mere sight and touch (and even the smell) of a friendly dog brought back memories.  Mostly, comfort and happiness were recalled from days long gone by.  Uther exuded love and gentleness to everyone who came in contact with him, and the patients eagerly awaited his weekly visits.




Thursdays were his very favorite days.  Thursday was NURSING HOME day!  He knew every week when that day rolled around that he would have fun.  He became very familiar with the routine, and after awhile, he was trusted off lead to visit on his own with the Activities Coordinator and myself following behind.  Being a wee bit single minded at times, he would occasionally ‘do his own thing’.  He would trot down the hall, completely bypass at least six rooms, and make a sharp turn to the left.  We were always in hot pursuit.  From the hallway, we could hear Mrs. Miller laughing and talking.  It was “Uther Day”, and every week, she saved him something from her lunch tray.  Sometimes, it would be half a hamburger, sometimes, a piece of meatloaf, and sometimes, it was a Twinkie.  He was no dummy.  He knew where the best room was located.  This simple act not only brought sheer joy to Mrs. Miller and Uther, but also to the Activities Coordinator, the nursing staff, some of the patients and myself.  He always ‘brought the house down’ with that ploy.  Laughter is always such a wonderful thing, and Mrs. Miller could not wait for his visits.  By the time we entered her room, he had eaten his snack, she had wiped his mouth, and they were having a perfectly wonderful visit.  Of course, we made sure to double back and visit the patients he had passed by on his Twinkie quest.  He loved his special people, and they loved him.  Over time, he had become best friends with many of them

Dozer ***NEW STORY***


DOZER, DOB Unknown

Placed through Mastiff Rescue

Coordinator and Agent, Julie Nelson




Note From Julie

This is the story about a family in Washington State, whose identity must be protected out of respect for what they have gone through.  These are incredibly nice people who love their dog for what he has done for their family.  Huge steps in their son’s recovery have been made thanks to the constant companionship of this loving mastiff.




Submitted by Dozer’s owner

Our rescue mastiff, Dozer was matched to our family for specific reasons.  The main reason why our family sought a mastiff was for our son’s animal assisted therapy, specifically to help him overcome Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) which was the result of being the target of a sex offender who is currently in jail for what he did to our family.




The reason for our choice in breed (mastiff) was because of specific dynamics that come with PTSD.  Since the trauma caused my son to be in constant fear, of his physical safety we needed to obtain a breed that gave him the comfort of always being protected, without the aggressiveness found in many working dog breeds.  We needed a dog that was not going to be so over protective of the children that it may attack a person or another animal.  The English Mastiff suits our needs perfectly.  On an everyday basis Dozer is incredibly gentle with all members of the family, including the baby.  Dozer with his size and constant presence makes our son always feel safe.  Dozer is a shadow, always tending to the children, very tender, never pushy, never dominating, and has never growled or snapped at anything.  He is a huge love muffin.  By his presence and gentle nature alone, Dozer allows our family to feel secure after 14 months of stalking by a repeat sex offender.




Having Dozer in the house is a gift, we are able to sleep at night without my son constantly having night terror episodes and screaming due to his nightmares.  Our son's anxiety has all but disappeared.  In therapy our son talks about how much Dozer means to him, how he'll ride his bike outside, because Dozer can come too.  How he'll play in the backyard and not be afraid because Dozer is always there.  These are huge leaps from where he was prior to being so well-matched by Rescue with Dozer.  Having a mastiff allows us to even travel to the beach, or hike on trails and watch our son laugh and behave like a "normal" six year old.  Although, you can see who's the braver of the two now when our son runs towards the ocean, and Dozer runs away from it!




Dozer is not just good with our family, he has become the neighborhood mascot.  All of the children in the neighborhood can love up on him.  The parents always feel better when we are out with Dozer, and their children are with us as well.  He is very popular due to his gentle nature.




I will forever endorse the English Mastiff, having one for our forever friend has certainly changed our life for the better!




Note from Louise

Julie has sent me several pictures of Dozer with his children.  Due to the sensitive nature of his placement, those pictures have been withheld.  However, it must be said that these are small children, children who can be seen clinging to their dog, who hovers protectively over them.  I am so glad that Dozer and this family have found each other.  Many thanks to Julie Nelson for making such stories as these possible

I have been in touch with lynn and this pup would make a great family dog. He gets along great with cats and kids!

Name: Little Rell
Age:13 MONTHS
Sex:M
Size:L
Delete We need to find a home for our 13 month old Weimeraner. He is a great dog but our schedules have changed so much that he is suffering for lack of attention. By the time we get home from work, he has so much pent up energy that he doesnt know what to do with it. He is crate trained, has been raised with 3 kids and 3 cats. He thinks that he is a lap dog, loves to cuddle. He even curls up and sleeps with the cats! Please help me find a home for Little Rell. It is a tough choice but he deserves more then we can give him now. Nominal fee for expenses. Pictures can be seen at the link below: http://groups.msn.com/WeimeranerLovers/littlerell.msnw?albumlist

I took Bryce to the vet the girls were trying to get him on the scale and he is having none of it! It took 4 vet techs to get him on it a scale, which was about 3 inches off the ground. Well they finally got him on it and he sat still for them and then he didn’t want to get off it.(He was 170 pounds at 8 months old!) Well all the girls and the other people were petting him and asking me? About him I m use to it mostly to the uninformed people and others that feel it’s there job to say stupid things such as why would you want a dog that is that big don’t they only live for about 7 years? The woman at the vet behind the desk said I have never seen an English mastiff brindle, are you sure he is an English mastiff? All right this is some one who works at the animal hospital I think it’s time for a new vet granted my husband has been going there since he was 8.Well I know exactly where he came from and who the breeder was. I think I need to take him somewhere else do you think I m overreacting?     :o  :o  :o
