Samson is Adopted

2015 started off wonderful!! Samson was adopted. This poor scared puppy mill boy when he came here,  became very brave. He did great and his new mom is very happy. He is warming up to them and cuddling on the couch. What more could a foster mom ask for. Happy new year!!

Adoptable Pup Spotlight! SAMSON

Hi everyone... thanks for stopping by to read my spotlight. I wanted to tell you my story. Pardon me if I stutter a little, you see.. I am just starting to gain self-confidence and be proud of who I am and where I came from.

NEBTR rescued me from a puppy mill. For six years, they used me to breed litter after litter of puppies - like a machine. I never knew warm beds or snuggles, I never knew squeaky toys or Kongs with peanut butter or "good boy." I never knew human love.

My foster mom Jill has been working with me to help me realize that I don't have to be so scared anymore. That I have a new life now - and I am safe and cared for, and special. But most important - I am WANTED.

When I came to foster care, I was scared of my own shadow. Over the past few months, I have made great strides. I can jump up on the couch now and be with my humans. I learned how to sleep in a doggy bed. I am even facing my fear of the bath (I never had one before).

I get along with the other resident dogs just fine, and have no major health issues.

In my soul, I am a sweet and gentle boy who desperately wants to love and be loved in returned.

Could you be my forever home?

Love,
Samson

Samson is So Brave

Finally he is sitting on my lap.

Samson is Thankful

Samson has received some fantastic gifts. He has never had treats to eat or toys to play with. He is having a great time. Thank you to all who sent gifts.

Adoptable Pup Wishlist! SAMSON

Hello new friends and supporters. I'm Samson, and I was rescued from a mill about a week ago. I'm now in the loving care of my foster mom, Jill, who will take great care of me until I find my forever home. I am so grateful that there were some humans who thought I deserved a better life. I'm starting to believe I do too.

Here is a list of the things that would make life easier for me (and my foster mom) until I find my family. If you could, perhaps you could send me a treat or something like a collar or harness. I would be forever thankful.

The Mill Dog Save

Ever wonder how something like this happens? Well, here is a day in the life of NEBTR, orchestrated by one of our intake directors, Jerrliyn, and with the help of many volunteers as well as new recruited volunteers!

The dogs came from an Ohio Puppy Mill that was being shut down - we were contacted that there were 4 Boston's in the seizure; a Mom and Dad and their two 9 month old pups. At this time, they were known only as Mill Mom, Mill Dad, Mill pup #1, Mill pup #2; this is because in a puppy mill they do not have names. And the plan happened from there with moving, transporting and getting the pups to where they needed to be - it was a very long couple of days for all four rescues.

Dad and Mom were taken to their foster homes and promptly named Samson and Delilah, given baths and of course, the most important part - FREEDOM. They are currently decompressing now, each with a foster home of their own with foster moms Leslie (Delilah) and Jill (Samson).

One of our volunteers (Maria) took in the pups, Mill pup #1 and Mill pup #2,  for the night before their trip to Long Island - this is where they will decompress, relax and learn to be free dog and eventually be adopted. And most importantly - NAMED!

During the process of transporting the dogs, two Dads were recruited - one Dad took the trip to the CT ferry terminal to meet up with the second Dad who took the ferry to Long Island to bring the pups to the foster mom, Linda.

It takes a village and we are blessed to have one. Stay tuned as we bring you updates on the dogs progress and eventual adoption. And thank you to all our sponsors that help us do what we do best.

Update on Samson - Mill Dad

Sorry for the delay ,but he is here and I'm in love. Omg he is so cute and sweet. He has sniffed every inch of the yard and house. He seems to like other dogs,  he really wanted to play w Joey. He was eating out of my hand and let me pet him. He is still very scared and unsure. But I don't think it will take him long to relax. More pictures tomorrow. Its been a long day.
