Prancer-adopted

Prancer has an adoption pending! UPDATE12-13-07 Prancer pranced into the hen house with me this morning. She did not chase the hens, she just wanted to sniff. Because she is not much taller than the hens and she was not running around, no one squeaked and ran. Lillie (the sweetest hen) did not even protest when Prancer sniffed at her. We did not tarry with the hens, and Prancer came out with me with no protest. We are still working on sit. She just likes to be held and talked to, although she does enjoy playing with the stuffed Santa dog. Prancer will prance into your heart and be a perfect addition to a loving home Update12/12/07 from Prancer’s foster mom: Prancer has been with us since Saturday. What a precious girl! She loves to be held and loved. She can almost sit on command. Prancer would enjoy playing with our other pets, but they are older and not in the mood to play with a pup. She wanted to chase the hens, but they, too, do not like to play tag. When I told Prancer a firm NO, she stopped chasing and came to me to play. She does come when called. Since she has a bit of border collie in her, she may have been trying to herd the hens(?). Prancer enjoys sitting on the rug in the kitchen and watching me cook. She will make a sweet additional to a loving home. Info on Prancer Prancer was brought to the shelter on 11/26/2007. She is a border collie mix, black and white in color, around 2 months old and weighs appx 9 pounds (as of 11/26/07). She is a very spirited dog! She loves her playmate, Cupid. She gets along great with the other small dogs, too. Please help us find her a home.

This dog is available unless it is marked as Pending, meaning "pending adoption".

If this Dog is marked Urgent, it is because the Arkansas shelter where he/she resides is overfull. Please do not ask local shelters to take this dog in, there are many reasons why they cannot. Please also do not send us letters about why we euthanize, AHR does not euthanize, but the shelters we work with do. We are a rescue and we pull as many dogs as we have foster homes and funds for. We, like the shelter, do not have unlimited resources. Please, please: foster, adopt or sponsor a dog to help save their lives.

FOR PUPPIES: HOMES CONSIDERING PUPPIES MUST BE PREPARED FOR:

FLEXIBLE SCHEDULES FOR POTTY TRAINING-THEY CAN ONLY "HOLD" IT FOR ONE HOUR PER MONTH OF AGE.

CRATE TRAINING FOR THE NEXT 10 MONTHS TO KEEP THEM FROM CHEWING EVERYTHING IN SIGHT.

SUPERVISION WITH CHILDREN, AND OBEDIENCE TRAINING.

SOCIALIZATION-A GOOD DOG MUST BE EXPOSED TO ALOT OF STIMULUS AS A PUPPY SO THAT NEW PEOPLE AND ENVIRONMENTS DO NOT INTIMIDATE THEM AS ADULTS. THE MORE POSITIVE EXPERIENCES -IN AND OUT OF THE HOME- AS A PUPPY, THE BETTER.

HOMES THAT WANT TO HAVE GOOD DOGS, MUST BE PREPARED TO PUT THE TIME AND EFFORT INTO TRAINING A PUPPY. IT IS ALOT OF WORK!!! THEIR BEHAVIOR AND STAGES ARE EQUIVILENT TO A 2 OR 3 YEAR OLD CHILD. IT TAKES A FULL YEAR TO HAVE A CALMER, WELL ADJUSTED DOG! PLEASE DO NOT CONSIDER ADOPTING IF YOU HAVE NOT THOROUGHLY THOUGHT THROUGH THE PROS AND CONS OF A PUPPY...SO MANY PEOPLE END UP RETURNING THEM IN 3-5 MONTHS BECAUSE IT IS CHEWING, JUMPING AND HYPER. THIS IS NORMAL PUPPY BEHAVIOR.

PATIENCE, CHEWIES, SOCIALIZATION, SUPERVISION AND OBEDIENCE TRAINING IS A MUST!!
