BMDLuver January 29th, 2006, 10:34 AM Hi, our names are Kerry and Doolin. We are 8 week old Newfoundland cross pups. We are both very shy and laid back at the moment but that could just be because we are uncertain of our new surroundings. When you talk softly to us, we wag just the tip of our tails. We are very bright eyed and will gain more confidence with socialisation. We will each be looking for a family who will be able to nuture us and give us the love we've been missing. We will not be considered for homes that work fulltime as we will remain too shy in that setting. We are presently very good about using our puppy pads. Kerry and Doolin will be visiting the vet's this week for their vaccinations and to be scheduled for altering when they are more comfortable in their foster home.
Lucky Rescue January 29th, 2006, 12:30 PM Can you use some dog food? Check your PMs!!
Prin January 29th, 2006, 01:19 PM I think I can foster them (- if they don't have a foster home already...).:) I got permission to try fostering them if they still need a place to stay!:highfive: They're newfs- the man couldn't say no to me. :D And they're babies so he won't be too allergic.
jesse's mommy January 29th, 2006, 04:03 PM You go Prin!!!
I've been trying to talk to the man into either fostering or adopting another, but he hasn't given in yet! Do you have any pointers since you've suceeded???? :evil:
Prin January 29th, 2006, 04:08 PM LOL Stick to one breed (maybe two). Make him love the breed and then reel the breed in...:D
cpietra16 January 29th, 2006, 05:12 PM LOL Stick to one breed (maybe two). Make him love the breed and then reel the breed in...:D
hook line and sinker....you go. Now if I ever see a woman with 2+2 blacks It's gotta be Prin....:D
BMDLuver January 29th, 2006, 06:03 PM Lol Prin, that was relatively simple... hehehe... send me a pm with a number and we'll have a chat. Don't get too attached to the big guy Doolin though... he's already spoken for. :)
happycats January 30th, 2006, 07:21 AM OMG they are beautiful.....:love: :love: I wish I were closer, you know how much I LOVE newfs!!:love: :love: but so do most. thats why you should have no problems finding homes for these adorable pups!!
BMDLuver January 30th, 2006, 08:24 AM Yes, appears Prin has a theme going with black dogs! ;) It's wonderful to have the offer of foster, cuts down my numbers and means if I need to squeeze an extra one here, I can do so. It's greatly appreciated. :D
Prin January 30th, 2006, 01:09 PM I'm glad to do it. It'll prepare my man for when I get my own newf pup...:D
Yes, appears Prin has a theme going with black dogs
Like they say, once you go black, you never go back. :p
joeysmama January 30th, 2006, 11:17 PM Doggies are my husbands "thing." The one thing he doesn't think it's silly to spend money on is the pup. I just showed him the pictures and he got that silly doggie grin. He says it's not practical right now since we're still in the puppy stage and just started our puppy kindergarten classes this week.
But.....hypothetically, if we wanted to adopt would it be fesible since we are so far away? So many times I see a little face and we have a nice sized yard, live on a cul de sac and we all love to love on the dog.
I could of course visit rescues right here--thats how we got Joey. But I do trust these boards and sometimes when you see these pictures you just fall in love you know?
Prin January 31st, 2006, 12:58 PM You're only in New York state, no? That's not far. Our borders are touching...;) I think they would adopt to you (if you were good enough- some of them are tough!).
BMDLuver January 31st, 2006, 05:25 PM lol, Doolin is already going south of Albany to his new home and I'm keeping my fingers crossed as they are contemplating Kerry as well. They have 3 seniors so Doolin could use his lil sis to play with when the older crew gets tired of his puppiness.
chico2 January 31st, 2006, 05:31 PM OMG,they are just the sweetest little guys,what happened to the mother??
Were they abandonned?

Yey!!! :fingerscr :thumbs up
joeysmama January 31st, 2006, 07:14 PM I'm in New Jersey, so that's a few hours south. It's do-able for sure. The rescue agency where we got Joey was pretty particular, they turned down a family just before us. Flat out said "We won't let you take this dog." I like that in a rescue. !! :)
The only reason I can think of that they would turn us down is that our yard is not fenced in. We never let our guy out unleashed. Even though we are on a cul de sac, there is always the chance of a car, and there are other dangers outdoors as well. I'm working on the fence issue though as I'm really wanting to get a big boy in the spring.
But I'm home in the day except for the occasional errand or lunch. I work part time from home, and do some public speaking--which amounts to very few hours away, and for those my husband is usually home.
They can take a peek at our vet bills and see that we take our responsibility seriously. And my mother was teasing me about all the toys and the way we baby Cooper.
LOL !!! Do I sound as though I'm pleading my case? PLEEEASE let me have the doggie !!!!!
My husband is right though--we have to get through kindergarten first. Then I'll start working on him for a big brother for Cooper. :D
Prin January 31st, 2006, 11:27 PM They're settling in here... They sort of fluctuate between too comfy and not comfy at all.. But it's a start. I tried, but I can't post a pic here, so it's here: http://www.pets.ca/forum/showthread....508#post215508
jesse's mommy February 1st, 2006, 05:18 AM The link didn't work. I'm dying to see them!!!
Prin February 1st, 2006, 12:23 PM Here: http://www.pets.ca/forum/showthread.php?t=23509
But I think you saw it already..:o
Lucky Rescue February 1st, 2006, 12:26 PM BMDLuver - don't forget the dog food! There's 15 bags of it waiting for you.:)
meb999 February 1st, 2006, 04:09 PM YYYAAAAAAAAYYYY for Kerry and Doolin!! They are just the luckiest little fosters in the world!
Prin February 1st, 2006, 10:33 PM They're big mooches. lol Especially Doolin. He pretends to be all shy but if you stop petting him he gives you this guilty glare...:evil: :D
barbara123 February 18th, 2006, 10:13 PM hi my name is barbara and i live in montreal, qc. if the newfoundland cross puppies are still available for adoption i would like to adopt one. .. please email me at thank you
jesse's mommy February 18th, 2006, 10:17 PM Barb, that can be easily answered, no they aren't available any longer. Take a look at the "fosterbabies settling in" thread and you can see the babies that belong to the entire forum. :D They were adopted, but were in fostercare of one of the members.
Have you checked petfinder for some newfs? Also, keep checking back here because there are a lot of rescues here. Good Luck.
Prin February 19th, 2006, 01:52 AM Yep, they just left today for their new home together. They are absolutely adorable. Good luck in your search for a baby newf.
Frenchy February 19th, 2006, 08:38 AM I tried to pm you but it says you can't received them.I know of a great pyrenese looking for a home.He is 4 yr old,vaccinated and neutered.He has seperation anxiety,will bark if left alone.This is a problem that may be cause after being abandonned more than once and may be corrected with a stable life.
