Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Striker came to us from a woman who needed to down size her dogs. He is an AKC Doxie male, about 12 pounds, five years old.
Striker has always been well cared for but lacked some one on one time. He has adjusted well in rescue. He is crate trained, great in the car and on a leash but he he will need some more work on house training.
Striker is fine with cats and is fine with the other dogs. At first he showed some jealousy but that has subsided with time. He is an affectionate boy who likes attention. He is not in a home with children nor was he in his previous home so we feel it would be best to place him where they are no children. Not because we have a reason but because we have no history or experience with Striker with Children.
Striker's adoption requirements are -- a fenced yard or area that leads directly into the home and someone who is not working away from home a typical 40 hour work week. His adopter will need to either work from home and can have a dog in their work space, work very part time or be retired. Striker needs a home where is person has time to spend with him, talk him places, etc.
Star-Mar Rescue is a natural care provider and we place our dogs in homes that are already on a natural care program or are eager to learn. We use no chemicals on our dogs, no commercial flea products (oral or topical), do blood titers instead of randomly vaccinating. Our yards are without fertilizer and weed killer and our homes are toxin free. We feel that dogs can be protected without being harmed by harsh chemicals and unnecessary vaccinations and do best on a species appropriate, no grain, raw diet. Frozen raw diets, freeze dried or dehydrated no grain. Raw, no grain foods are easily gotten at many pet stores and on line and are no more expensive than a high quality dry food. This simple step will provide your dog the nutrition needed to keep them healthy and happy for many years unlike feeding a lifetime of processed foods. We are happy to help with this transition. Please do some research on natural care and raw feeding and decide whether or not you are wanting to care for Striker in this manner before requesting an application.
If you feel that your lifestyle and environment meet with Striker's needs, please directly contact Martha at learymjri@aol.com or call 330-466-3667 or 330-262-0515 for an application or more information. PLEASE DO NOT USE THE LINK PROVIDED AS IT IS NOT ALWAYS RELIABLE. Striker's adoption will require an approved application and a home visit, with adoption completed at her foster home in Wooster, OH. Striker's adoption fee is $275. We will work to place her within a 2 hour driving distance from her foster home in Wooster, OH. so that we can conduct our own home visit bringing Striker with us.
