GENERAL BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

Chowder & Biscuit have come from a kenneled environment and are much more comfortable with other dogs than with new people. They did not have the proper and necessary socialization normally given to puppies and had very little human contact, which will require more patience and understanding when adding them to your family.

It is important to realize that there is ALWAYS a period of adjustment when adding a rescue dog to a family. which will take time and patience and understanding. Some require more time and patience than others and there may very well be an issue or two to work through in order to earn their trust and overcome their fears and lack of socialization.

Being in a foster home is their first opportunity to learn to be real dogs. It will only get better once they get a forever home of their very own where they will progress even faster and further, but it will not happen overnight, but the rewards will be so worth it!

If you are willing to look past the initial possible fear/timidity/apprehension and give a former kenneled dog a chance, realizing they can and will adjust to the life of the pampered pet they were meant to be and should have been their entire lives, they will be the most grateful pet imaginable. They really are eager to please.

Dogs generally become what you make of them through your efforts, love, patience, and understanding.

These boys are brothers that are bonded and would like very much to stay together.

They are quite shy at first through no fault of their own. They were not properly socialized during the first few formative weeks of their lives when it is so crucial. They will eventually come around, with love and patience, but will take a period of adjustment for a transition into a new home. They are discovering a lap is a very nice place to be. They love to be held.

We do process the applications in the order that they are received. We cannot guarantee any particular dog will still be available by the time we get to your application. We cannot respond to each application or keep you updated as we go along. We do not consider a dog adopted until the process has been completed and a contract has been signed. As long as the dog is still listed, it is still available and we are processing applications. As soon as a dog is adopted, it is removed from the list. If you apply and your application is approved, we will contact you. If you decide not to wait or find another dog, please let us know so we can go on to another application.
