Notcho-Adopted!

Update, June 4:

Natcho has found a home! He is even living close to his brother so they will get to see each other and have play-dates!

Update, May 31:

Burbon has found a home but sweet Notcho is still at the shelter. Please help him find a new home, adopt him or contact us or the Surrey SPCA to find out about fostering. He is going to be missing his companion soon and the comforts of a home will help him adapt to life without his brother. The SPCA did try to find a home for the boys together and was unsuccessful. Good luck to Burbon in his new home and we hope Notcho finds a home soon too!

Burbon and Notcho are not with TnT Rescue but waiting to meet you at the Surrey SPCA. Please go to: http://search.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=6181432 to find out more and to see their super cute videos. Just cut and paste the link provided above and surf on into the Surrey SPCA Site.

MAY 21 - Volunteer notes: Myself and another volunteer walker took Notcho and Burbon out into public for a very long 2 hour walk today. Their leash manners are so much better, no darting from side to side, just walking straight out in front. They were very easy to handle and weren't spooked by the passing cars or trucks along the busy streets. We encountered a few people who took interest in these two adorable puppies and the twins met the people politely with their tails wagging. These dogs are somewhat aloof, but they welcomed a pat and bum scratch. They are very gentle when taking treats from your hand too. Unfortunately, these two very young brothers don't show well at all when in their kennel, as they are stressed (jumping up/barking). Take them out into the offleash pen for a visit and you will then see their true personalities. My friend and I didn't hear the dogs bark once when we had them out walking today. In fact, we were joking as to whether or not they even know how to bark. I don't think it would take much training to get these dogs to do all the things a well trained dog should do. One bonus is that they appear to be house trained because they try so hard to hold their 'business' until they are outside the kennel. Come on down and meet these adorable little dogs. WK

APRIL 30 - Notcho is on our left (black nose) and Burban is on our right (red/black nose). Volunteer notes: Notcho was the quieter of the two brothers. He was gentle with me and warmed up considerably as the morning walk progressed, coming with a wag when called, but shying away from pats on the head. Pats on his body, no problem. He was not able to relax very much, totally understandable given the circumstances. Initially he strained at the leash and darted in every direction, but his leash manners did improve a lot as the morning progressed. He came across to me as being quite aloof, common traits of the breed, I am told. His strong attachment to his sibling leads me to believe that he would be a very loyal companion given the opportunity to bond with someone. SM
Please phone or drop by the shelter for more information and quote ID # 37463.

Adopting a pet is a long term commitment. Dogs can live 8-14 years while cats can live an average of 15-20 years. During the time you own a pet, you may change jobs, move, get married or divorced, have children, or have your children grow up and leave home. Don't let one of these events cause you to abandon or give away a pet. Pets become extremely attached to their owners and deserve to be treated with kindness and respect. Avoid hurting and causing undue stress to a helpless animal. Before you adopt, please seriously consider the long-term commitment involved.
