Capone is a one year old 50 lb black & white tri ESS. Due to the constraints of Covid-19, he was not able to be socialized during his first year and he is extremely wary of new people and new situations. We expect he'll be in NEESSR foster care for a good deal of time so we can understand just what type of forever home would be the best fit for him.


NOTE: We are not accepting adoption applications for Capone at this time. NEESSR foster families can, and often do adopt their foster dogs. If Capone becomes available for adoption, we will update this posting.

2/1/21 DUKE HAS BEEN ADOPTED!


Duke is a sweet, affectionate and extremely handsome 52 lb 8.5 year old gentleman! He has been in NEESSR foster care for a little over a month now, so we’ve learned quite a bit about him. Duke loves his 3 mile daily walks and he LOVES attention from his people. His foster mom reports he also LOVES car rides, his stuffed toys and belly rubs. His favorite treat is a large knuckle bone filled with peanut butter – keeps him busy for hours. He does NOT like to share his home with other dogs and he does NOT like to be left alone! He is unknown with cats. Duke has a history of skin & allergy issues which are now controlled by a strict diet including prescription dog food and the use of allergy medication. We are looking for an active adopter who can provide Duke much love and exercise.

PLEASE NOTE – REQUIREMENTS FOR ADOPTING DUKE:
***He MUST be the only dog in the home. If you have doggy visitors or need to board your dog in a facility or home with other dogs, he is not the dog for you.
*** He MUST be kept on the prescription dog food and allergy meds.
*** His adopter MUST be home a great deal of the time. Adopter should be retired or work-from-home permanently.

If you already are on our adoption waiting list and are interested in learning more about Duke please email neessr@gmail.com. Otherwise please read about our adoption policies and then complete our application.

6/14/20 DAVIA HAS BEEN ADOPTED!

5/6/20 UPDATE: We have an approved adopter all ready to meet Davia once "non-essential" businesses are allowed to open up (due to Covid-19)

Davia is a little girl - just 37 lbs. She was a stray, surrendered to NEESSR from an animal shelter. Her age is estimated to be 5 years old. Davia is a very shy girl presently being fostered by a family able to provide needed training and able to assess her long term needs. We expect this will take time. As her foster family gets to know her better, we'll post more info about Davis.

05/06 - 2020 Davia has made a lot of progress in foster care. She is an extremely active girl and will need a family who can provide a LOT of exercise for her. She is doing better with other dogs, but we feel she'd do best as an only dog in the family.Her permanent family should not have young children or have young children visit with any sort of regularity as Davia is skittish. She does not like being groomed and will need anti-anxiety meds to help her through grooming. Davia is crate-trained. She is a typical affectionate springer who loves to be with her person and especially loves to get belly rubs!
