Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Britches! This handsome 2 year old lab/pit mix had a rough start in life. He and his litter mates arrived at the shelter as tiny pups with mange. After recovering he spent the next 2 years growing up in the shelter setting. During that time he made friends and played with dozens of dogs, and became a favorite love bug among the volunteers. Being a little shy with new people and black to boot he was overlooked by potential adopters repeatedly. But we believed this sweet guy needed and deserved a second chance, and he got that on February 1 when he moved into his foster home.
Since that time Britches has been learning about life outside of the shelter, and getting used to the sounds and routine of living in a home. He has done amazingly well, and putting on some much needed weight. He is great with their 3 cats, and has become best friends with their young dog. They spend their time playing and explore the great outdoors together. He still gets a bit uncertain when he hears or sees something new, but over time he is developing more confidence and learning that it is ok….and that he is finally safe.
We believe Britches would do best in a home with children over 10. He gets along well with most other dogs, especially those who are playful, and with cats as well. He is interested but respectful. He is housebroken, and crate trained and really, tries so hard to please you. Do you have a place in your home and heart for this sweetie?
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Our Official Website.
All of our dogs are or will be spayed or neutered prior to leaving rescue or shortly after. All adoption donations REQUIRE spay or neuter. Our dogs receive a distemper shot(s), rabies, and worming (we recommend having your vet do a fecal to ensure there are no parasites left) ether before they leave or included with surgery if done at our preferred vet clinics. We treat for fleas as needed and provide our foster dogs with heartworm medication. You will receive a medical record detailing what your dog has received, which may include microchipping.
Donations are non-refundable, however, we do offer a ten day trial, which must be stated on your application. Our pets may come with an offer for insurance. Please ask for details.
We strongly suggest training for all dogs to help create a bond between companion and owner. We can recommend trainers in and around Northwest Indiana.
ABRA dogs are fed well and we recommend premium dog food such as Canidae, Wellness, Evo, Earthborn, Kirkland (sold only at Costco) and a raw food diet. We highly encourage adopters to keep their new dog on a high quality food.
Our pregnant dogs are fed raw food and we start newborn puppies on raw as well. We believe the health of your animal is dictated by how well it is treated, what it is fed, an appropriate vaccine or holistic prevention, and how it is socialized. All Breeds are good breeds!
We receive many dogs from dog auction, so any dog over the age of two that comes from a dog auction is examined for a teeth cleaning prior to adoption.
Our adoption donations vary and are based on the overall cost of the dog and the expenses we inherit when they come from shelters or the dog auction. Visit our website for more information and an application www.allbreedrescueinc.com
