Iggies have all found homes

I just heard from Cantex IG's - all the IG's they had available have now found good homes. Thank you for your interest.

I do not currently know of anyone who has IG's available but will certainly post here with updates if I hear of any.

Due to my pending renovations, I will not be Fostering until further notice.

Have a wonderful summer!

Piper - update

Piper has been placed in a new home and is doing well. I think she is enjoying all the attention and not having to share people with other dogs.

Thank you to everyone for your interest. I am in the process of renovating my home and will not be Fostering until at least the fall, when everything is done and I have everything back in order.

Blessings from the Faerie Laedie!

Piper





Summer is almost officially here and you’re thinking about adding a little dog to your life. I might be able to help with that.

I am currently screening homes for Piper - an adult female Min Pin. Piper is spayed, up to date on all her shots and solid red in color. She is sweet, affectionate, quiet and easy to live with but is not a good candidate for those with other dogs or with kids. She had a bad experience in a previous home and I feel it would be best for her to be in a quiet household where she can be an only dog.

Qualified homes must have a fenced yard ( minimum 4 feet high ) but condos/apartments will be considered if it is determined to be the best match. This little girl is crate trained… leash trained… housetrained… has some basic obedience training… travels well in the car… is active… very, very affectionate and enjoys being with you. She will definitely go for walks with you, if you choose but is also very happy to romp in the yard and then cuddle in front of the TV. Min Pins are considered a high-energy breed but this little girl is mature and not what I would consider to be hyper-active.

Those who respond will be sent an adoption application. All applications are then reviewed and we will let you know if this little girl will be a good match for you. There will be no adoption fee for her but I will be very particular about where she goes, so this is not a case of first come, first serve.

Due to the overwhelming amount of inquiries, please allow 2-3 days for me to respond. A tremendous amount of time and care will be taken to ensure she is placed in the very best home, as I want her to be a life-long companion. That is why there is no fee for her, I am not concerned with money but with her welfare. I look forward to hearing from you.
Blessings from the Faerie Laedie!

Available Dogs

First, I have a 9 yr old red Min Pin available to the right home. Unfortunately, Piper has had some bad luck in previous homes so she's back at Faerie Tail and hoping to find a Forever Home soon.

Piper is spayed, solid red with natural ears. She is sweet, loving, quiet, obedient, leash trained, house trained, crate trained and eager to please. I feel it is in her best interests to be in a home with no other dogs and no kids, as both make her rather nervous. There is no placement fee for her but I will ask that an adoption application be filled out. Fenced yard is a must, Piper is not trustworthy off-leash outside the safety of your home or fenced yard. She has been trained to sit and wait while you open the door, will sit for a treat as well. Loves to cuddle and watch TV with you.

Chinook Winds Greyhound Rescue Foundation is making arrangements to take in a 3 yr old neutered male IG. He is blue in color, housetrained and very social. If you are interested, we ask that you visit our website and fill out an application www.chinookwindsgreyhounds.org Please specify somewhere on the application that you are interested in an IG. If all goes well, he will be transported to Alberta the weekend of June 13th.

8 IG's Available

Because I do not currently have any IG's available, I am referring people to other reputable sources.

Karen Chant ( Diavolino IG's ) currently has 4 IG's listed on her website. 1 is a Rescue, available for adoption through Hearts United for Animals. The other 3 are being placed by their breeder and are still quite young, with a lot of love left to give. You can see pics and read a bit about all 5 of these Iggies here. http://www.diavolinoigs.com/Available.html

A breeder is facing health issues which have proven to be a challenge. She feels that placing a few of her Iggies would be best for all concerned. Cantex IG's www.cantexigs.com is currently screening homes for 4 of their IG's. Please visit their site, click on the Available Dogs page to learn more.

If you have never shared your home and heart with an Iggy, please let me know. I have put together an IG Handbook which I provide - free of charge - to anyone interested. I believe that education is the key to a healthy relationship with any breed and will also help in reducing the number of people who are paired with a breed that clearly isn't suited, thus turning to Rescue. I can e-mail the handbook to you, just contact me.

Blessings!

Min Pin Available



This is PIPER - in the front, with Ari and Diana. This pic is about 2 yrs old, she has a little grey on her face now.

As most of you already know, I used to breed/show Miniature Pinschers. After the loss of my beloved Liam, I spayed his sister Piper and decided that it was time to retire from breeding.



I placed Piper in a home over a year ago. Unfortunately, through no fault of her own, she was returned to me. The owner called and asked me to babysit Piper for 4 days. That was in August and I haven't heard a word since. The reason that I placed Piper was because I felt she would be happier in a home with another Min Pin. When her mother ( Hope ) passed away Piper just wasn't the same. When I got her back, I intended to simply keep her but she is not comfortable around Tango. So I have decided to try and find her a quiet home where she can be comfortable, relax and enjoy her golden years.

Piper is 9 yrs young, about 7 pounds, solid red with natural ears, spayed. She has some basic obedience training, is reliable in the house, extremely affectionate and very quiet. Ideally, I would like to find her a quiet home where she would be the only dog or with another little dog for her to play with. She is very cuddly, likes to play with toys, enjoys her treats.



She would have to be kept on a strict diet - she was returned to me morbidly obese. She is currently eating Innova Evo, which is a grain-free kibble and agrees very well with her. Treats will have to be kept to a minimum, as a dog this size cannot afford the extra weight.

Piper will come fully equipped with a crate, dishes, leash/collar, blankets, a bag of food and a lifetime of support. As with every dog I place, I offer a full takeback agreement. I will take her back at any time in her life if it doesn't work out.

If you are interested in Piper, please contact me. faeryhound@yahoo.ca I am not in a hurry to place Piper and will continue to search until the very best home for her can be found. I want this to be her final stop, her forever home. She deserves the very best.

Update

This is an automated response due to the large volume of emails we have received
about the Samoyed dogs needing homes.

We appreciate all the out pour of interest and concern. Please know that the dogs are being well taken care of as we find them new families. Alomst all of the dogs have been placed in their
forever homes within just two weeks of Cathy's passing on 2/21. All dogs have been spayed prior to going to their new home.

We are reviewing all requests and applications to place the last two 11-year olds. We may or may not respond to your email.

Note: Those who have made posts to websites (rescue organizations, blogs,
etc.), please remove your posts. We have more than enough leads for the
remaining dogs.

Thanks, again!
Velvet and Trish
