My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Here comes precious Izar a 10week old Aussie mix puppy!

Izar was just 5 weeks old when he was rescued only to find he had a broken jaw. Izar recently had the wire removed from his chin that has been supporting his jaw for weeks. Due to his young age, his jaw bone healed into the hardware, so removal was a bit more invasive.  He was returned to us the same day and has been doing very well. He is not on any meds for pain, and he doesn't seem to be in any discomfort.  
We are slowly starting to ween him  from watered-down soft food to puppy kibbles.  
Izar (whom we've been calling him "Chops" due to his unfortunate circumstance ) has had his vaccinations and 1st round of deworming...tolerate them well.   
Izar loves to nap in his comfy bed and steps out when needing to relieve himself on his puppy pads! 
Despite all Izar has been through, he is a happy little puppy who has been getting introduced to other dogs, our cat, and small children! Like most puppies, he just wants to play and shows lots of spunk! He loves to be cuddled and kissed. A TOTAL LOVE HOG
Although the cuddles and kisses are his favorite,  he loves to watch Pup Academy and also enjoys Alvin and the Chipmunks on TV.  
We are also happy to say we were finally able to introduce him to soft play toys (just NO "tug of war") and he is so happy to be a puppy with toys to play with. 
Izar also LOVES bath time.... "Scrub-a-dub doggie, soft little doggie..." ( for those of us old enough to remember lol)
Although we are so pleased with all mentioned, Izar has only two issues to overcome which is loud noises or getting put into PJs or his coat...he will be sure to grunt and growl to express his disapproval. Please apply to adopt him via our website. 
*** not eligible to be adopted in Massachusetts due to quarantine restrictions***

Our process may feel invasive, but we have a lifetime commitment to our dogs. We need to be sure they are going to a home where they will be loved and cared for their entire lives. Therefore, we screen our homes very carefully and we thank you in advance for your understanding.

* Please fill out our adoption application on our website. Once submitted, you will receive a confirmation message once we have received your application.

* When you apply, please let your references know that one of our team members will be contacting them via email/phone. Also, please contact your vet's office and authorize them to discuss your pets' health records with the ECCR representative who will be reaching out.

* We will reach out to you for a personal interview, we will also be checking your references: personal and veterinarian - if you currently have or have had a pet in the last 2 years.

* Once we conclude the initial process, we forward your application to the home visit team. They will get in touch with you to schedule a home visit at your earliest convenience. This process usually takes 1-2 weeks.

* Once your home visit report is reviewed and approved, a member of our team will get in touch with you to discuss the breed/mix, size, temperament traits and characteristics exhibited by your new dog; or offer to match you with a different dog that better fits your/your family's needs.

* Once a dog is selected, you will be in touch with the dog's foster to learn more about your new best friend. If the dog is coming on transport, you will then be given the information to go pick up your dog once adoption fee is paid and documents are signed.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

We do not have an actual facility. All of our pets are in foster homes. We can offer meet and greet on adult dogs or older puppies only. Please do not email asking about availability as we get tons of email per day and it may take a few days to get back with you. By then, the pet could be adopted. Please submit an application if you are interested in a pet. Thank you!

Our Adoption/Foster Requirements are at www.eastcoastcaninerescue.org/applications

More about this rescue

East Coast Canine Rescue is a 501c3 volunteer and 100% foster-based animal welfare organization dedicated to rescuing homeless dogs.

ECCR is founded by a team of three dog lovers and advocates dedicated to rescuing and rehoming lost, relinquished and abused animals primarily in the Northeast area and Southern half of the United States. These areas present a large number of animals in need. In collaboration with our veterinarian and shelter partners, the rescue is able to transfer these dogs into foster homes that will care for them until their permanent adoptions. ECCR is able to provide food, medical services, preventative care and love to these forgotten dogs who have no other chance at life.
