Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.THIS IS A COURTESY LISTING. Bobbie's Pit Bull Rescue (BPRS) has generally not met this dog and is not responsible for any wrong or incomplete information submitted by its owner. The dog did not undergo a behaviral evaluation by BPRS.If you are interested in this dog we will forward your information to the owner who will be then in contact with you. BPRS has no further involvment in the adoption process unless requested by the owner and/or adopter.Here is what the current caretaker has to say:We needed to take my mother’s dog. He is a Morkie named Teddy who is 11 years old, and both Teddy and my mother are in some degree of declining health. I live in Fredericksburg while my Mom lives outside of Pittsburgh. Teddy was doing very badly last week, and I took him to a Vet near her, who diagnosed him with Diabetes along with some related vision loss. He has responded to his insulin thus far, and we are at the Blood Panels stages of his diagnosis to determine if this is manageable in the long term.  Though we were able to get help for Teddy and currently have him with us, there are some problems that will make it impossible to care for him long term. I am currently living with Teddy in our basement (I teach and have the summer off), but we already have a very bonded, reactive pair of dogs who are very anxious about Teddy and need to be kept away from him at all times. We were hoping that our dogs would be slightly more adaptable, but this has not been the case. In any case, my fear is that Teddy would become a “basement dog,” and just sit in a dark basement by himself all day. While my wife and I are committed to saving Teddy’s life, I’m not sure that that is a life that any dog would want. We are looking for a better opportunity for Teddy. I know that the diabetes and age make him not particularly adoptable, but he is a good boy, and I feel that, if the Blood Panels are favorable from the Vet, he still has a few good years left. Here are some details about Teddy:     •    He is very food-motivated and is bit on the large side right now (25 pounds)   •    From what we have seen, he is fine with other dogs  and kids. We do not know how he reacts to cats.     •    He is generally good-natured and sweet, though a little bossy.     •    We have never seen any aggressive behavior or biting from Teddy. We are not seeing any food aggression either. Forgive the length of this email. We are trying to do the right thing for all involved and it is tragically sad and horribly complicated. Any help that you can provide would be a blessing, and we are willing to do whatever it takes to find a solution. If interested in this sweet boy please email us at bobbiespitrescue@gmail.com and we will get you in touch with the current caretaker.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 25, 2024, 9:21 pm

Ernesto is a fun loving little puppy and has lots of energy! He loves to play with all his toys! His favorite is playing fetch with his ball especially catching it which he is very good at! He will go in his kennel at night on his own when he is tired and ready to go to bed. He does have sensitive skin and is on dog food which main ingredients are salmon and rice. Morkies as a breed, are known for having a lot of energy and attention from their family! We love him so much and he is very well cared for! We want the best for Ernesto and know he will thrive with a big yard. We will include all his toys, food, treats. kennel, blankets, and everything that belongs with Ernesto for free.

Story
PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION - PEARL BREED - Maltese SIZE - About 10 pounds AGE - 8 years GENDER - Female MEDICAL CONCERNS - None known BEHAVIOR CONCERNS - None known SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS - Pearl is a beautiful female Maltese who came to us recently from a breeding operation in North Carolina. Understandably this sweet little lady is learning to love and trust humans since being a beloved pet has not been a part of her past life. Pearl arrived with two other females from the same household and they cling to one other for comfort, yet all are very easily handled and snuggled. Each will do well with a caring owner who has consistent time to give to them to make them feel loved and secure. Fully grown at just 10 pounds, she is a perfect size for most homes. Upon arrival Pearl had conjunctivitis in both eyes, a condition we are successfully treating. Though breeders are notorious for giving only cursory care to their dogs, Pearl appears to have been treated well. She is now spayed, microchipped and vaccinated, and she has tested negative for heart worm and placed on prevention. Her skin and coat are beautiful, and she appears in very good health. At 8 years old, she is little more than a middle aged girl for her size and breed. We are seeking a home with an adopter able to work from home or be at home the majority of the day to spend time showing Pearl consistent love and attention A home with another small, well-behaved dog may be an asset for Pearl as she acclimates. A fenced, secure yard is a must, as is a home without larger pets or small children. Our adoption process starts with your email to carerescue@aol.com or Adopt a Pet inquiry. After we receive it, we will email you our prescreening questionnaire. Your answers will help us determine that your home and lifestyle matches the needs of the Pearl as well as our adoption criteria. Once determined, we will set up a private meeting for you and your family to meet Pearl at a park near our private kennel just east of Richmond. After meeting her and determining that she matches your preferences for a pet, we will accept your application. A home visit by one of our trained volunteers is required for all adoptions, and we will speak with your vet to ensure that you are a responsible pet owner. More information on our website at www.carerva.com.
