Update 11/20: Khoia is going to the vet in NYC tomorrow and having her blood drawn to check her Phenobarbital levels. She's on Pheno for her Epilepsy. She's very active as she is young, she is anxious to please, loves being held, cuddled and playing with balls. She sits and comes when you call her name - we are working on "stay" and "come". She was previously housetrained with puppy pads, so we have been trying to train her to go potty outside.

  Tucker is an active and healthy, 5 yr. old, Bichon/Yorkie mix. He gets along wonderfully with dogs and cats alike. Tucker loves to cuddle and spend the day on your lap. He also loves going for walks as well as sitting on the deck and enjoying the outdoors, watching for any activity. His most favorite thing in the whole world is cookies, he will do anything for a cookie!! He will jump and spin and talk and wiggle to get some treats. He is such a sweet, personable and enjoyable little boy!

Matisse is a 5 year old, 10 lb. Lhasa Apso. He is exceptionally sweet, friendly and very much a lap baby. He is good with grooming, and riding in the car. Matisse was being neutered and died on the table. He went into cardiac arrest and his heart stopped due to a reaction from the anesthesia. He is the result of a miracle, he was was resuscitated and brought back. He should NEVER be put under anesthesia unless it is a matter of life or death, it very likely could kill him. Other than the fact that his teeth need a dental (which he cannot be put under anesthesia for) he is a healthy baby. This precious angel has been neutered, is UTD on shots, HW negative and is on preventatives. House and leash training reinforcement is always needed when bringing any new pet into your home. 175.00 adoption fee applies, however any donation(tax deductible receipt available upon request) above our required fee is greatly appreciated and will go towards the care of the many animals permanently and temporarily fostered in our organization.Matisse is being fostered in FL. |

 Not available for adoption
Priscilla is a 12 year old, 16 lb. tri-color Shih Tzu. Priscilla was rescued from an animal shelter where she was an "owner surrender". We have since found out that Priscilla has bladder stones and will need surgery. She also has very bad teeth and will need a dental and no doubt need to have some teeth pulled. We will have a full blood panel done to make sure that she has no other health issues needing to be addressed and that she is healthy enough to be spayed. Priscilla is a very sweet girl who is very well behaved and gets along well with other animals. She is a bit on the thin side and needs to gain a pound or two so she is a bigger Shih Tzu, but in this case, bigger is definately better :)
We will update more after Priscilla has her surgery(s) and pending no other health issues, she will be put up for adoption after her recovery.
Update August 20: Priscilla has had her procedures several weeks ago. Unfortunately she had a dental and every tooth had to be pulled. She also was discovered to have diabetes and requires 2 shots a day. At this time we aren't prepared to offer her for adoption as we feel with her recently diagnosed diabetes that she needs further monitoring. We want to make sure we get that under control and that her levels are where they should be.
Update: Priscilla is doing well although she still requires 2 insulin shots per day and must be on a special diet. She will be available to a very special home only. We prefer a home with a retired person who is familiar with the needs of diabetic dogs. Priscilla is being fostered in GA.
Update April 2011: Priscilla continues to be in foster care with ADR for 3+ years. She is doing very well in her foster home. She continues to receive 2 insulin shots per day for her diabetes and has developed cataracts. She is happy and is doing relatively well, however she is approximately 15 yrs old now. She is available for adoption to a home with a retired/stay at home person who has lots of time to devote to her loving her and giving her good care for whatever time she has left, which hopefully be at least a couple more years. No children and a quiet home is a must. We will have updated photos soon.
Update 4/26/2011: After careful consideration, we have decided not to adopt out Priscilla. She has been in foster with us quite a while and due to her age, other factors, we do not want to take her out of her comfortable environment and cause her undo stress. She will "technically be adopted" by her foster mom, however she has been and still will be financially cared for by ADR for the remainder of her years like all of our long term fosters.

Layla is a 9 year old, 7 lb. Shih Tzu. Layla was rescued from a shelter right before she was to be euthanised. She was taken to the shelter by her family of 9 years after she bit an elderly visitor. Layla appears to be very sweet to us and has not shown any aggression. She is however somewhat confrontational towards other dogs. She would definitely do best as the only pet. A bit on the anxious side, we also feel she would not do well in a home with children or many visitors that may make her nervous. We would like to keep her in foster care for a little while so that we can evaluate her and work with her on any issues she may have. We will update her information periodically. Layla has been spayed, had a dental, been brought UTD on shots, had a hernia repaired, is heartworm negative and is started on preventatives. Layla is being fostered in Knoxville, TN

Lobster is a 3 year old, approximately 6 lb. Yorkshire Terrier. Lobster was named after the lobster mushroom by her previous owner in case you were wondering about her cute but unusual name. She is a sweet little girl who enjoys her human friends but isn't real appreciative of other canines invading her castle and should be an only pet. Lobster is a good girl during her bath and brushing, but like many younger Yorkies, she isn't real fond of sitting still for very long. Beautiful and sweet with a touch of attitude thrown in best describes lovely little Lobster. House training reinforcement is always needed when bringing any new pet into your home. This precious angel is spayed, is UTD on shots, HW negative and is on preventatives.
Update: Lobster is doing well in her foster home with her foster mom, however she is not very receptive to strangers. If picked up, she will nip. She also thinks she is a bigger doggy than she is and gets very aggressive with other animals. She had been taken to the doggy park, PetsMart and various doggy friendly locations to try to get her used to other dogs and to try to show her boundaries. Unfortnately she has not been receptive at all. She just wants to "go after" any other dogs she sees. This actually is not atypical behavior of Yorkies who have had no boundaries set as puppies/young adults and were not properly socialized. We do not feel like Lobster is a good adoption prospect at this time and we are continuing to work with her. Hopefully she will be available to that special home in the future. Lobster is being fostered in North Carolina.
