 | Rescue Me ID: 18-03-12-00066Juicy (female)
Our winsome Juicy loves to mug for the camera with a 'Sad Sack' expression but then amps up the puppy play vibe in real-time! This lanky girl came to us from New York Animal Care and Control, where she found herself, after a brief run as a city stray. Juicy was on a stray hold, while shelter workers frantically tried to reach her owner, but sadly no one could be found. At that point she had caught the typical shelter virus, and was quickly relegated to the euthanasia list. Juicy is a comical girl and has a string bean physique that makes us think of Popeye's Olive Oil. We are convinced that she has some sighthound DNA! At first glance, ... (Read More)Juicy appears to be an American Pitbull Terrier, but she's very tall and weighs only 35 lb. Juicy has a dramatic color pattern of black and white patches, strategically placed over eyes to give her the look of double 'shiners'. Like many Bullies, Juicy has sensitive skin, and does best on a grain-free diet high in Omega fats. Juicy would make a great companion to an active single or couple who love to walk, hike or run. She is a natural athlete, and loves to spend time outdoors. Two years old, Juicy is well past the puppy destructive stage, but still has vibrant puppyish energy. She is extremely smart and has responded well to her obedience work. She has the potential to be a Canine Good Citizen. Juicy is a friendly girl, who likes everyone, and has not shown any 'stranger danger.' She would be fine with older kids, but toddlers might overstimulate her. She could join a multi-dog home, and is generally good with most polite and well trained dogs. Juicy does not care for ill-mannered dogs, who do not respect her boundaries. She will readily rebuke a dog who gets in her face. We think that she might chase cats in play, perhaps beyond their comfort level. Juicy has decent house manners for a young adult, and is house trained and crate trained. Adopters should expect the occasional accident as she transitions to a new home. Juicy is in excellent health, and is spayed. She is vaccinated for rabies, distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis, parvo, parainfluenza coronavirus, canine influenza, and bordatella. She has been dewormed, and has tested negative for heartworm, lyme, earlichia and anaplasmosis. If you are interested in Juicy, please write to Denise@eskiesonline.com, or call/text Denise at cell: 860-908-9738 for an adoption application.

 | Rescue Me ID: 18-03-01-00068Panda (male)
Our magnificent Panda an elegant quality that folks don't expect in their Bully Breeds. This pretty boy has the bouyant good nature that attracts Bully breed folks to these lovable high energy scamps. No other dog group has been so overbred, mishandled and maligned as the Bullies, and we are thrilled to have Panda with us, at this young stage of his life, so that we can find his forever home. Three years old, Panda started off his rescue journey as a statistic: just one more homeless stray roaming the mean city streets. He was picked up and brought to NYC ACC. He hasc traversed the rescue process with ease, and has displayed great ... (Read More)confidence and panache as he has interacted with everyone along the way. His behavior evaluations were exemplary, and he was used as a 'Social Greeter' dog within the shelter's behavioral Network, to help dogs feel at ease in the process. Despite good behavior evaluations, Panda was passed over for adoption in favor of the numerous puppies available. He was designated for the euthanasia list, but shelter workers managed to secure him a last minute foster home spot in their Network, and he was sitting pretty for a few months. Unfortunately he was attacked by another dog on the street, and was returned to the shelter with some minor wounds to treat. Shelter staff sent Panda to us, so that we could continue his foster care and find his forever home. He joined us a few months ago, along with Celia, another large bully, and they quickly became great friends. Panda appears to be a mix of American Pit Bull Terrier and black Labrador Retriever suggested by his graceful stance and height. He is a large strong dog at 60 pounds, with a lean, muscular physique, and floppy Lab ears. He has a broad skull that suggest some Bully DNA, but his muzzle narrows into a triangular Lab shape. He has a wide swath of white, sweeping down his chest that gives him a regal tuxedo look. Panda truly represents the best of beauty and temperament in both breeds. He has charmed everyone he has met, in the face of trying circumstances. Panda would be a fantastic choice for a Lab or Bully breed lover, who is willing to continue his exercise and obedience regimen. Panda is high energy, and needs adequate exercise. He loves to be on the go: the more action, the better. A bored, frustrated Bully will make mischief, to be sure, but in the hands of dedicated breed enthusiasts, who rejoice in their high energy companions, Bullies are Man's devoted BFFs. Panda is an ideal choice for an active single or couple. He is friendly, and good with most strangers, but he would likely overpower young toddlers. We haven't had him around cats, but he likes most other well mannered dogs. He loves to play with other dogs matched to him for size and energy level, and would be a great companion to another well-trained dog. Panda has excelled at his obedience training and is extremely food motivated. He responds well to positive reinforcement training, and has learned all of his commands, so that adopters will be able to get up to speed with him quickly. He has great house manners and is house trained and crate trained. Adopters will need to forgive the occasional accident that might occur as Panda transitions to a new potty routine, in a new home. Panda has been thoroughly vetted. Like many bully breeds, his sensitive skin will benefit from a grain free diet rich in quality protein and Omega fats. He has been vaccinated for rabies, DHLPPC (distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis, parvo and parainfluenza, coronavirus), and has been boostered as needed. He has had the 4dx test, and is negative for heartworm, lyme, earlichia and anaplasmosis. He has been dewormed, and microchipped. If you are interested in Panda, please write to Denise@eskiesonline.com or call Denise at 860-908-9738 for more info. (Less) EOL Multi-Breed Dog Rescue Windham County Canterbury, CT MAP IT!

 | Rescue Me ID: 17-10-10-00038Kensoe (male)
Our stunning Kenzoe is a poster boy for the beauty, grace and magnificent spirit that is characteristic of the American Staffordshire Terrier. The reputation of this American breed is in tatters of late, due to widespread owner mishandling and malintent. Kenzoe's adopters will have a unique opportunity to show the world the best AmStaff traits, the traits that our grandparents revered, when Bully Breeds were the lovable mascots of our patriotic culture. Kenzoe has a familiar story. He had become a statistic: one more Staffie found stay in an abandoned building, trying to survive on the mean streets. His owner did not come to claim him, ... (Read More)once he wound up in the high kill Animal Control Facility, where he was shortlisted for euthanasia, despite good behavior evaluations. Kenzoe is an unusual tri-color Staffie and is at the prime of his young adult life, just three years old. He is a large dog, weighing 57 pounds, and has a muscular physique, and a good deal of physical strength. He has a short, brown, tan and white coat that requires minimal grooming. Kenzoe has remained unaffected by the unwieldy rescue process, that can sway some nervous temperments, and has maintained his friendly, outgoing personality. Kenzoe loves people, and would be best suited to an active single or couple, with a lot of time to spend on his exercise and training needs. Kenzoe's ideal person would have some physical strength and stamina to keep up with him. He would make an excellent running or hiking companion. He is a strong, active boy! Kenzoe would thrive as an only dog in an adult home. His robust Terrier energy would overwhelm other dogs, cats and kids, but he would relish the focused attention of adults or teenagers, who can continue the obedience work that we have begun. Kenzoe has excelled in his basic obedience training, and he seems to enjoy the work. He is very treat motivated, and works well with all forms of positive reinforcement and leadership training techniques. Owners of large, powerful breeds have a greater burden of responsibility to provide effective leadership, exercise, and obedience work to maintain control over their dogs. Kenzoe had no obedience training when he came to our Rescue, and as a member of a high energy Bully breed, he requires vigorous daily workouts to keep his Terrier yayas in check. Once Kenzoe has had a brisk walk or run, he can focus like a laser beam on his obedience work. If adopters continue Kenzoe on his Canine Good Citizen path, he will become a much needed Amassador of the Breed. Kenzoe is in excellent health, and has been recently neutered. He has been vaccinated for rabies and DHLPP (distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis, parvo and parainfluenza). He has had the 4dx test, and is negative for heartworm, lyme, earlichia and anaplasmosis. He has been microchipped and dewormed. If you are interested in Kenzoe, please write to Denise@eskiesonline.com or call Denise at 860-908- 9738 for more info.

| PIease Read Before Adopting a Pit Bull in Connecticut | |||||||||
Pit Bull Dogs can make good pets in Connecticut if they match your IifestyIe. The American Pit Bull Terrier is a powerful dog with an undeserved reputation for inherent viciousness. A Pit Bull that receives attention, firm training, and thorough socialization makes a wonderful family guardian that is trustworthy with children. Pit Bulls need committed, experienced owners that exude leadership. Pit Bulls excel at high level obedience with proper training. Pit Bulls have been bred for dog fights, and unfortunately a dog that is abused, neglected, or whose instinctive aggression is encouraged, can become hostile and dangerous. Pit Bulls can adapt to apartment life with enough exercise.
