My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

This sweet little girl came to ERU with nine other eskies in 2019. The 10 eskies (FL-10) were from an eviction situation. The owner was a backyard breeder and was being forced out of a home he was renting, and when police were called the dogs were found in the back yard.  From what we heard, the dogs lived outside in stacked metal cages year round.  The dogs in the bottom cages were the filthiest, as everything from cages above them landed on them.    There were no vet records, none of them were altered, none of them were house trained.  They didn't know what a leash was, and all were extremely shy.  Almost half of them were HW positive. And most of them had several intestinal parasites.

Sweet Petunia was adopted to a wonderful couple in PA and they loved her dearly. Sadly the main caretaker passed away, and the remaining caretaker could not care for her. She came back to ERU with multiple health issues which will be addressed by our DVM soon. Please stay tuned for an update on Petunia's health.

Sweet little Petunia Is now available for adoption.  Petunia will need a special care giver, she is a nice little girl that loves car rides and always wants to be near her person.  All though Petunia is house trained she still needs to wear a diaper because of leaking urine.  It has been determined she most likely had the problem from birth or from the horrendous condition of her life the first year.  Petunia has been to specialists and we have tried to come up with a remedy to no avail.  Anyone considered for her adoption needs to know she has been through enough medical testing for one life time and will just need to except the status quo. Petunia is a great little girl but will need extra care to keep her and her surroundings clean.  Note:patients and love needed. Not a good pick for a first time pet owner, experience needed.

Whenever possible Eskie Rescuers United tries to adopt out its dogs locally (or at least to adopters in adjoining states to where I'm being fostered). Please note that ERU processes LOCAL adoption applications before considering those from out of state.

If I'm not local to you, as explained above, and you really have your heart set on me, you will have to make special arrangements so ERU can get me to you safely (for example, flying me to you at your own expense, or paying a transport group to drive me to you). Note: We may ask that you to make a donation to cover transport costs if the distance is great and we have trouble finding transport drivers.

There is an adoption fee required; and, please be aware, Eskie Rescuers United will not adopt out its dogs as outdoor dogs.
