Cappy and Boo are two brothers who found their way to NEBTR when their former owner lost his house. Sandy Z very generously opened her heart and home to them, and this is her report of her first week with these two adorable boys.
What a difference a week makes!!! Cappy, the Boston Terrier, & Boo, the Boston/Dalmation mix, came to me on Feb. 24th, 2016. Both were fearful, shaking and afraid little boys. Today they are confident, cheerful, happy, tail wagging, cuddly little creatures and I am in love.
Both boys had to be rushed to the Vet on Monday for eye issues and were very well behaved the entire time. They let Dr. Joe examine them up close and never resisted. The staff at Marcy Vet Clinic fell in love with both of them. The issues with the eyes were not serious but needed attention. Both have to get ointment 2 X’s a day. Boo has Red Eye which, I guess, happens frequently in Dalmatian mixes. It may never go away but at least we can make him more comfortable. Cappy had a swollen lower lid on left eye, but within the past 2 days, it has gotten much better.
Both are scheduled for surgery / procedures the middle of the month. They should be ready for adoption by the 1st of April if all goes well. They are integrating themselves into my pack of fur babies and are getting along just fine. Cappy just loves to play with Jaxx (GSD puppy) and about twice a day they get “the crazies” and just run through the house chasing each other. Cappy loves to suckle and has found several stuffed toys to do that with. He always has one in his mouth. I have not discovered what Boo likes to play with yet. Boo is more dependent on Cappy than Cappy is on Boo. I only started letting them co-mingle yesterday for a couple of hours but I plan on letting them stay out most of today. Right now both boys are curled up at my feet as I am typing this and Jaxx is behind me. I find this all very amazing and it inspires me to keep going.
When we got home from the Vet on Monday, Boo had wriggled himself out of his halter and managed to get by me when I opened the car door. I, of course started to panic. No problem, I got Cappy out on the leash and called Boo as I was going up the steps and he followed us right into the house. I think he knows he is in a safe place.

This is such a happy story, at first it brought
a tear to my eyes when I read that once they were fearful, shaking little
boys.THEN you helped them become happy and confident. I love when they have the
zoomies or when they do the Boston 500!
Thank you, Sandy for fostering and caring for
these sweet boys!

Jack Goes to the Rainbow Bridge
We adopted one eye Jack from Christine Morse two years ago. It is with a
very heavy heart that I have to report that we had to help Jack cross the
rainbow bridge tonight. We could no longer make him suffer as he had multiple
issues that started to take a heavy toll on him. He was an awesome boy
who just loved to know you were there and wanted to chase his tennis ball.
Thank you guys for all you do saving these guys, he was a joy to have in the short time we had him.

Louis, I am so sorry for your loss. It
seems that we just don't have them long enough. He is now healthy and happy
playing with his ball and buddies at the Rainbow Bridge.
Rest in peace Jack.

Adopt Sunny
Hi
friends! What's that? You're snowed in? The day is gray and mucky? I wouldn't
know anything about that because...
I'M SUNNY!!!!!
I can't
wait to bring a ray of light to the family that gives me a forever home. Until
then, I'll just shine on...
i
am a neutered 6 year old male who LOVES TO PLAY!! So if you have a playful
doggie, I am your guy! I bounce and hop around like a deer when I get silly and
want to play. I am house trained, cat trained and doggie trained. I love to
cuddle and lay ON TOP of your feet.I also love to give kisses when you ask.
What? you need a q uiet non barking dog because you live in an apartment? well
thats me! I dont even bark when the mailman/lady comes!! how cool is that? i
know basic commands, sit, go lie down, "go get your rope" and
"give me five!" Hold your hand up and I will high five you with my
paws!! Still not sold on me yet? I play a mean game of tug-of-war so i hope
you ate your Wheaties!! I am content to just sleep in my doggie bed, or
yours if you'll let me. I am gentle with kids. 8 years or older for me, as i
have limited vision and could knock small ones down.But my limited vision
doesnt slow me down and i adapt to my surroundings quickly. I am on a
very inexpensive medicine for a small leak i have when i sleep. Belly bands
would be fine and i dont mind them. i love to walk around my foster homes
fenced in yard, and i also do well on walks. I have been waiting for that
special family to come and take me HOME, then my life will really be SUNNY!!
Could that home be with you?
Sunny
