Fergus and Raine

Fergus and Raine (Petraits attached) are extremely gentle brother / sister, one-year-old, 35-pound, crystal blue-eyed, white Australian Shepherds looking for loving homes.

Fergus and Raine

While these two adore each other and would love to live together, they would also do well together or separated in homes with other dogs with whom they can model their behavior after. They are very shy, playful, wiggly, loving, snugly and docile. They love to play with their toys, and also enjoy being mellow lap dogs.

Since these dogs were born deaf, here’s a web site to learn more about how to train deaf dogs: http://www.deafdogs.org/training/

They can learn to follow hand signals, and rely on their sight and smell more heavily.

Fergus and Raine are crate-trained, housebroken, and great with other dogs. Prior to coming to Project Rescue Chicago, these country bumpkins had never been on leash before, so they are very tentative and resistant but learning. They are very quiet in the home, and would love a fenced-in yard to run and play. They are healthy, spayed/neutered, de-wormed, up-to-date on vaccines, micro-chipped, heartworm-tested and on preventative.

To meet and possibly adopt Raine and/or Fergus please complete an adoption application at http://www.projectrescuechicago.org/adoption-application/

You can follow up on your application and ask additional questions by contacting info {at} projectrescuechicago(.)org or 312-623-0939. Their adoption fee of $200 each or $350 as a pair benefits the dogs of PRC.

To see other pets for adoption, please visit http://www.petraits.petfinder.com Continue reading

Bark in the Park Ottawa IL

[caption id="attachment_1824" align="alignleft" width="150" caption="Bark in the Park, CUPCAKES!"]Bark in the Park, CUPCAKES![/caption]

Well we had our booth at the Ottawa Bark in the Park, and it was a huge success. Stephanie Z must have baked over 200 cupcakes as she was able to generate $180.00 in just cupcake sales. She also made some homemade doggie treats. I want all our Aussies to give Steph the honoray Aussie butt Wiggle! Also a big thanks to Stephanies husband for bringing tables and a tent to shade us from the sun. Also for having Stryder show his great Aussie friendliness.

Also Sherry Mc brought homemade doggie treats (I tried one, it was a little bland, but good) and her family to help out as well manning the booth. Sherry brought Toby and Holland as well to show how great of kissers they were! Continue reading

Shayla Update: Our Special Rescue Girl – A Real Rescue

Shayla Considers All the Attention

Shayla is doing remarkably better. The doctor stated in around 8 weeks the pins could come out of her leg and allow her to not live with the possibility of later infections. She will be getting all her vaccinations this week before being released and allowed to head to her first foster home. There she will stay until she is ready to head to her second foster home for her physical therapy. It will be sometime before this special girl is ready for adoption.

When Hal went to visit it her the day after surgery they doctor said she wouldn’t eat, but when Hal arrived, he snuck in some special don’t give food (just like us 2 leggers do for friends in the hospital) and she ate it right up and was excited and happy to see Hal. Hal was one of the rescue drivers that brought her into the vet’s office.

Yesterday when Hal visited her she was in very high spirits, even placing mild pressure on her leg. We expect a excellent recovery for our special Iowa girl named Shayla.

Shayla Finally Eating After It All

Help Shayla cover thoes expenses with a small $5 or $10 today.
