When people say, 'I couldn't foster because it would be to hard to give a dog up' We say 'How can it be harder than knowing a dog died because no foster home stepped up?' and that's why we do it time and time again.
A Dog's Prayer: "Treat me kindly, my beloved friend, for no heart in the entire world is more grateful for your kindness than mine. Don't be angry with me for long, and don't lock me up as punishment. After all, you have your job, your friends and your entertainment. I only have you."

The Cast of Little Characters


 My beautiful foster babies! 

4 weeks old

I'm working on getting pictures of the remaining pups posted, so stay tuned.  Here's what I can say about them so far.



SATIN
Satin 'white glove' named for her one white front paw is the smallest of the Anishnabe pups but don't let size fool you, she's also a very confident little girl with the sweetest personality and really nice temperament to boot.  When we first introduced all the pups to our other 'pack', Satin was one of the first to try to engage them in play and was running around as if she had known them all along!  Satin is also one who will tug at my pants and be pulling on them to get my attention and/or pick her up~   She doesn't appear to be fearful very easily, which is good to see.

Sarge enjoying his stuffy from Auntie Tania and cousin  Grace!  : ))

SARGE
Sarge 'Blue Eyes' is a pup after my own heart; should have named him 'Sinatra!'  Sarge is quite the  flirt, (much like Sinatra too)..confident and  playful, Sarge is very engaging.  He's the first one to come running to be with his 'BIG MAMA' pack leader!! LOL  and enjoys spending time cuddling in my lap giving me sweet Sarge kisses!  If I'm not giving him ALL the attention, he's usually the one tugging at my pant legs or pawing at me to remind me that I must pay attention to him too. He really loves his stuffy's and is both paper and pee pad trained now.  Next, we'll work on fully house training all the pups.  

Sweet Sierra 'slippers' happily named for her 4 white paws. She is  the fluffiest (and softest) of the 'black' dogs and the one that  I think will look most like her mother, a Newfoundlander. Sierra is a gentle and quiet pup who loves to snuggle into you and loves to be told how much she's loved and adored.  This girl is love, love, love!

SHERMAN
Sherman 'tank' is the biggest pup in the pack at 8.4 lbs at 4 weeks of age.  He will play and engage the  other pups, but  is more laid back and calm compared to his siblings.  Sherman likes nothing  more then to just be with you.  Sherman is always wanting me to pick him up and never wants me to leave his side.  He's a lover-boy for sure!  Can you say GIANT lap dog couch potato?  LOL 


SIMON
Simon, Simon, Simon! (aka Clifford) Well, what can I say about Simon. Simon is the instigator, the one who just loves to bug the  other while they are trying to sleep.  If he were human,  he'd be the 'party boy' or 'Dennis the menace'  in the bunch! LOL  He's the lively one who likes to get the others going.  Simon loves to play and will still be playing long after the others have gone to sleep.  He's  a very sweet boy who adores attention from humans and will seek it out from you.  Simon is also a sensitive boy.  Simon is turning out to be quite fluffy and soft,, so he may just end up looking like a 'blonde' Newfoundlander!?  

SAPPHIRE
Sapphire is a confident little girl who makes her presence known in more ways then one.  She wants to play with the others and can be rather  insistent if they don't want to play with her.  I'd call her a little 'Firecracker' for lack of a better word; always on the go.  She won't take no for an answer. Sapphire  loves the company of humans and loves to snuggle.  She's teething quite a bit now, so chews everything and anything, so have plenty of durable chew toys ready and waiting for Sapphire. 

SCOTLUND
Named after the man who rescued all of them, Scotlund Haisley of Animal Rescue Corps. (ARC), Scotlund is a very sweet and gentle pup who, like his siblings, loves to snuggle and be with you.  Scotlund will just sit and stare at me with love and adoration in his eyes as if to say 'thank you' for taking care of us. He wants to be held and picked up, but is much too much of a gentleman to be rude and push his siblings out of the way.  Scotlund is a perfect gentleman!  He's a pretty quiet and laid back kinda guy who I think will just enjoy hanging with his human pack, as well as a fur pack.

  1. Hello! 
    I just emailed info@loyalrescue.com... My husband and I are very interested in adopting one of these beautiful puppies! We are most interested in Sarge, Sherman or Sapphire. We're former dane owners and ready for a new pup! We will be in the Adirondacks before the Christmas holiday and will happily make the drive to Ontario! 

    thanks!

  2. Hi Terra,

    First of all, I'd like to this opportunity to Thank YOU for wanting to offer one of these sweet and precious pups a loving, forever home!  They are so deserving.  Sherman does have many applications pending that are being screened, so I don't believe we are currently accepting applications for Sherman.  However, we should still be accepting applications for Sapphire and Sarge.  These 3 pups in particular have been extremely popular and response has been huge overall, to ALL of Anishnabe pups, but do keep in mind that we do not go according to first come, first serve, but rather by the best fit and suitability to the home and family, so I do encourage you to submit an application online for one of them.   

    Again, my sincerest appreciation for taking an interest in offering a home to one of these very special pups!
