Here's what the humans have to say about me:
UPDATE: We have to neuter him yet so it will be a few weeks. We are not recommending a home with small kids as he is 110 lbs and full of energy. He would knock them over.
You need a fenced yard. Invisible fencing is not acceptable. He is crate trained but we would prefer a home where he will not be crated. He was confined for 6 weeks because of the mange and should not have to ever be confined.
If you are interested the process is to put in an application. Only after a home visit and approval are you put in contact with the foster homes of dogs you are interested in. We have no kennel and are an all volunteer group.
Please go to our website and fill out an adoption information form. http://www.nepyresq.org/page/adoption-application-36.html
Then a volunteer in your area will contact you to come meet you and do a home visit.
After the home visit the adoption coordinator will contact you with the contact information for the foster homes of the dogs you are interested in. You will then go meet the dog at the foster home. If it is a match you will fill out an adoption application and take the dog home. There is a $350 fee payable by check (money order) at the time of the adoption.
I'm 15 months old now. They called champ when I cam in because I fought Sarcoptic mange and a skin infection. I was like this for 6 months and my friends at NEPR took me in to care for me. It will be a long road to get me well. Iwas contagious so I could not be hugged like I long for. That was my Christmas present. To be able to be hugged.
I am having my treatment for Lyme and Anaplasmosis ( from flea bites). I am having underwater treadmill therapy at Fitter Critters in Lee, Mass to build up my muscles from lake of exercises. Jody donates time to NEPR Dogs in need.
My hair is growing back, I gained weight and am happy. I love everyone I meet and whine when I see one of my rescuers. I will never forget them.
Eventually I will be neutered and ready for the FOREVER HOME I deserve.
I did not deserve this, no dogs deserves this. IT IS SO CRUEL!
It has cost a lot of money to get me well but I am told I am worth every penny.
My adoption fee will only be the standard $350 but I will have cost Thousands to get well because I was neglected for so long.
You can also make donations at http://www.nepyresq.org/page/donations-26.html to help NEPR care for me and my cousins. The Monarch Memorial Fund is paying my bills.
Our dogs are not in a kennel, they are in foster homes. Keep in mind that we are a volunteer organization and all funds go to the dogs care.
UPDATE 11/22/15 - It has been 10 days since he came to NEPR. Champ had a bath today and his nails cut. His skin is no longer an angry red. He still has a ways to go but we are working on it one thing at a time.
He is sporting a new coat after his bath and has a spare so we can keep them washed. His kennel and bedding must be washed regularly. His hair loss will take time to come back. Isolation is tough as he wants to be with people and other dogs. Hang in there, Your day is coming.
We promised him today we would find him the BEST forever home when he is ready. He really likes kids so that would be a plus if they have kids. Thanks to Nicole, Gail and Sharon for making me feel better. Not sure if his soft moans were he liked it or he didn't but he was SO GOOD during it all.
We are not accepting applications for Champ until he is well.
The application process is to go to our website and fill out an adoption application form. http://www.nepyresq.org/page/getting-involved-5.html
Then a volunteer in your area will contact you to come meet you. After the home visit the adoption coordinator will put you in contact with the foster family of the dog(s) you are interested in. We do not have a kennel in Lee, Mass.When you meet the dog if there is a connection then you will fill out an adoption contract and take you new family member home.
