Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Tate is an adorable 2 year old, 22 pound Cockapoo. She came to use from a local shelter where her owner had turned her in. Her owner was older and didn't have the time or energy for Tate. She came to us with a condition called Microphthalmia. This is where one eye is very small and often with other abnormalities. Tate could not see out of the eye and it was uncomfortable for her. We removed the eye which is completely healed.
Tate is very affectionate. She loves to play with toys and with other dogs. She loves to cuddle in bed and on the sofa. Tate is house trained and crate trained. She loves her walks but needs more leash training. We're working on it.. She likes to ride in the car. Tate does sleep in bed. She is good with respectful children that are 10 or older. Tate would love another dog to play with but would be fine with an interactive family that has a lot of time for her. We introduced Tate to cats and she would definitely chase if the cat would run. It doesn't appear that she would hurt the cat but unless the cat was VERY laid back she would do best without a cat in the home.
Tate is a sweet girl that had little training in her early life. She is very smart and eager to please. She and her new owner would have a lot of fun in an obedience class. Tate quickly learned to ring bells at the door to go outside but then took it a bit too far by ringing them too much. This shows us that she is eager to have an active family that will do a lot of things where she can be included.
Tate's adoption requirements are a fenced yard or area large enough for her to run and play that leads directly into the home. She is not a candidate for an underground fence. Tate needs someone who is not working a typical 8 hour work day; someone that works very part time, works from home and can their dog in their work space or someone that is retired. She would love children that are 10 or older in the home and would do super with another playful dog. If she is an only dog the family must be active with the time and desire to have a dog involved in a major part of their life. After having very little attention for the first two years of her life, Tate deserves to have a home where she is cherished. Tate's new home must continue with her natural care program. We will place Tate within an hour drive from Akron, OH. which includes the Cleveland, Akron/Canton, Youngstown area.
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 titer testing 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. For more information go to Star-Mar Rescue Natural Care facebook page and click on "videos" in the column to the left and watch the 7 part series called The Truth About Pet Cancer. It will give you an understanding of what we are doing and why. Please do some research on natural care and raw feeding and decide whether or not you are wanting to care for Tate in this manner before requesting an application.
If you feel that your lifestyle and environment meet with Tate'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. Tate's adoption will require an approved application and a home visit, with adoption completed at her foster home in Akron, OH. Tate's adoption fee is $275. We will work to place her within an 1 hour driving distance from his foster home in Akron, OH. so that we can conduct a home visit bringing Tate with us. This includes the Cleveland, Akron/Canton, Youngstown, Elyria, Loraine areas of OH.
