The gentle giant.

Look at Rufus the gentle giant playing with my puppy blue girl. A first hand look at how sweet this 18 month old rescued Newfie is. I got the privilege of meeting Rufus this past weekend at the ACC WI Chessie Fun Day that I hosted. This guy hung around many peeps adult and children. He met many dogs adult and puppies. You couldn’t have asked for a nicer boy. He was happy to just hang out and get pets from everyone. He also made his way down to the pond and took a dip in the pond to cool off on the beautiful warm day we had.

Some photos from the fun day:

Rufus even swims.

Rufus is up for adoption through CRROW – Chesapeake Retriever Rescue Of Wisconsin. Here is what CRROW says about Rufus:

My name is Rufus and I am a silver/taupe Newfoundland. I was surrendered to Chessie Rescue of WI by my family because I was too big and energetic.

I am currently enrolled in a training program to receive a thorough evaluation of my training needs. I will not be available for adoption until after April 30th at the earliest.

So far this is what we have found out about Rufus:

• Rufus LOVES attention and is very smart. He loves to be in the middle of things and gets bored quickly.
• Rufus likes most dogs but does not have proper play methods. Rufus gets too exuberant and because of his size he can hurt his playmates. We are working on this.
• Rufus has displayed some food aggression towards other dogs which is why he was surrendered. We are working on this.
• Rufus will require
  • experienced Newfie or other working breed owners
  • a fenced yard
  • brushing multiple times a week if not daily for awhile
  • frequent grooming appointments for trimming which may exceed $100/appointment.
• Rufus is a handsome boy with a great personality but he will require a commitment to training and socialization.

If you are interested in me, please complete an adoption application for Rufus.
Visitations can be arranged after you have a completed and approved application.

November is Adopt A Senior Pet Month. I don’t think it should be November but each month of the year. There are so many pets that are seniors that are looking for their forever homes for the time they have left. These animals are most likely house trained, know commands, spayed or neutered so there isn’t much you have to do with them besides give them lots of love.

How about giving Ginger a forever home!

Ginger is a 7 year old Chesapeake Bay Retriever at Chesapeake Retriever Rescue Of Wisconsin (CRROW).

What CRROW says about Ginger:

Ginger was a surrender due to health of an older owner… Although Ginger is 7, she likes to retrieve, but can also entertain herself .

Ginger is spayed, and current on her vaccines and also chipped. She is very obedient and loves to be loved. She does not get into anything in the home, but if needed is crate trained and goes in on command with no arguments whatsoever.

The ideal home for Ginger will be with someone who will take her for rides and play with her in the yard.. She LOVES the car rides and is very, very good in the car. GINGER ABSOLUTELY NEEDS TO BE THE ONLY DOG IN THE HOME. She is not a candidate for dog parks or other social events with other dogs.

Ginger is a smiler and a rooer also. She smiles a lot when something is new to her or she is happy, and roos and talks when she is excited also. She is good at the vet’s office and was great getting her nails cut at the vet and at grooming. She is a special girl.

GINGER REQUIRES A PHYSICAL FENCED YARD-NOT NEGOTIABLE. PRIVACY FENCE WOULD BE THE BEST FOR HER.

Let’s not forget that November is also:
