 Cedar (FL, 1 yo) is doing well now that he’s out of the shelter and in a wonderful home with foster mom Vicky. He has been helping her with farm life, including baby lambs. It’s exhausting work, so she is happy for Cedar’s help.
Vicky said, “Ceder is awesome! He's highly trained; sit, shake, lay down, "no" and "out". He’s respectful to fences and gates, has okay recall, doesn't dig, and gets along with everyone except cats and birds he likes to chase. He does have a tendency to jump when excited but hasn't attempted counter surfing. He's a genuinely happy guy, who wants to please. He loves water and wants to play with his fur foster siblings so bad but can't right now. His exterior back right leg wound is healed, but the outcome of his leg usage long term has yet to be determined. It sounds like he will always have a bit of a "hitch" to it. Either way we are happy to be blessed with his gentle, sweet, loving soul daily. He seems to keep up with the flow of the farm well. He's a well-trained, amazing boy, who is respectful, and gets along with everyone and everything. He's a people pleaser and so sweet.” Cedar had an injury to his hind leg when he arrived in rescue (like it was caught up with a rope) so he has about 3 weeks of rest left in his recovery, and it will be a slow process of increased activity under the Vets guidance. Get well soon Cedar and thank you Vicky for nursing him back to full strength (and teaching him about farm life) #FL Welcome to rescue Coco (FL, 1 yo) and Cedar (FL, 2yo). Both were strays, pulled from Marion County, FL. Coco is sadly heartworm positive, but no signs of injuries and was spayed at the shelter. Cedar has an injury to his hind leg that looks like it was caught up with a rope but it’s healing well. He is neutered and otherwise healthy. Thank you to our wonderful volunteer Joe for fostering Coco (this is his 3rd foster dog), and Vicky, for fostering Cedar (this is her 6th foster dog). We look forward to updates on their personality while they heal (Coco will be in rescue for 4 months and Cedar a minimum of 4 weeks) and are temperament tested. #FL   Stella (FL, 8yo) is a happy girl and had her 2nd heartworm shot today. Her foster mom Leone said, ‘Stella is the sweetest girl on earth. All she wants from life is to curl up with one of us one the couch or the bed. She also keeps trying to be friends with my cranky old lady. She did great with her first heartworm shot and is scheduled for her second shot. She can't wait to go to be done with her treatment so she can chase the squirrels at the dog park.”
Stella has one more month of heartworm treatment before she’s ready to search for her forever home. Thank you, Leone, for all you’re doing for Stella. #STELLA #gsphappy #GSPrescue #FL Welcome to rescue Lucky, aka Birdie (FL)! This cutie came to SEGSP as a stray from Miami-Dade, FL shelter. Her foster mom Elease said she is beginning to show understanding of a few commands and getting better, although not perfectly consistent, with sit, stay, stand, here, & kennel.
Elease said, “She loves it when I pull out the leash and she’s doing pretty good walking on a prong collar! She’s still learning boundaries in the yard and with our cat. She loves hunting lizards and squirrels and has a keen eye for wildlife. Above all she is a sweet girl, loves toys, and cuddles! She is Velcro.” Birdie came to rescue with kennel cough but is taking her Rx very well. She is otherwise healthy and spayed, so will need a few more weeks of temperament evaluation before she’s ready for adoption. Once she is ready, she’ll be listed on our website under “Dogs Ready for Adoption” at https://www.segsprescue.org/available-dogs.html #FL 
Harley (FL) has finished his heartworm treatment – YAY! His foster mom said “He is great on leash, and he is a very polite greeter of new folks. He lives with 2 xl dogs and one small dog and does well with everyone. He is starting to learn to play with toys finally, although he is a little nervous about it initially. He still gets nervous about raised voices at times, but he is really a sensitive and loving boy who seems to not meet a stranger. He just wants to be friends with everyone he meets. Very focused when he sees the neighborhood cats though, so I don’t know if he could be introduced to them safely or not. He gets over excited at times when giving kisses and tries to nibble your chin, so I have tried to work on not allowing that. He will really make someone a fantastic family pet. Energy for days!” Thank you, Tara!! Harley will be ready for adoption soon so keep an eye on our “Dogs Ready for Adoption” website page at https://www.segsprescue.org/available-dogs.html #FL #SEGSPrescue #GSPenergy #GSP   2/20/25
Harley (FL) is aaaaalmost done with is heartworm treatment – he just had his last 2 injections so now he has a month of rest then he’s officially done with heartworm treatment. He is a very lucky boy, and his foster mom Tara has been taking very good care of him. He was found as a stray last year, and he still gets a little nervous now and then but overall is doing much better. He also has a new foster canine sibling to keep him company so he’s very happy. His foster mom Tara said, “He is housetrained, walks well on leash, and gets along well with other large dogs. He is not destructive and does not get into trash. He is food motivated so can be trained easily for his new family. He can sit and sometimes shake. He is working on taking treats nicely. He gets very excited at mealtime! Harley loves to cuddle and will be glad to sleep with you in bed. However, if you prefer, he does not, he settles in after a few minutes. Harley has met children and absolutely loves them. He would be fantastic with older children to run and play with. Harley loves to give kisses, but he doesn’t always understand personal bubbles. He just wants you to know how much he loves you! Harley loves toys, he likes to carry them outside and run around the yard with them. He really enjoys being outdoors and chasing squirrels, doing yard patrol, and pointing out any weak spots in the perimeter! He loves going for walks and is a very gentle and energetic boy. He is always happy, and you can’t help but smile when he is around. His ideal setup would be a loving home with a doggie door so he can go out and play but also come in and check on his humans. Harley will be a wonderful companion!" #FL |
