My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Newt is a darling boy! He was surrendered to rescue because he liked chickens TOO MUCH! But with the help of a volunteer trainer, he has quit going after chickens and has learned he should herd cows…when asked! Newt is crate trained, good on a leash, crate trained, and good with other dogs and cats. Newt does prefer women. Men in his past have not been kind. Newt would like to be part of an active family and a job!

Additional adoption info
Persons adopting from me through internet contact are required to show me photos of the area where the dog will spend most of its time, a vet's number and the number of a person who has known the potential adopter for at least 5 years. I do not require a fee, donations are appreciated. If a dog does not work out for the adopter, I can usually take it back right away, but if I have no room, I will work to find a new placement.

More about this rescue
I am a retired public school teacher, mother of 3, grandma of 7, and I do this because I love to join people and pets. I have always been one to bring home strays, so this is just a part of who I am. I own a small hobby farm with dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, sheep and goats..
