Bo is a 4 year old neutered male Schipperke. Bo is house trained, crate trained, good with dogs and good with cats. Bo will do okay with children over the age of 10 years. Younger children may scare him. All around, Bo is a good boy, who is happy and settled. He loves to run, so will do best with a fenced yard where he will have room to stretch out. Bo is in excellent health and has no known health problems. He is UTD on vaccinations, on Heart worm preventative and is micro chipped. Sadly, Bo's owner is ill and unable to continue caring for his loving boy.

Hannah is a lovely girl with a perfect personality who needs to be in a one-dog home.

I found her two years ago and she was heartworm positive. Since then, she has received treatment and is in excellent health.

She enjoys outdoors, long walks, rides in the car, and going to outdoor restaurants. She is very well trained and does not beg for food. I take her to the hardware store, to my favorite bistro, and even the bank where she is given treats by the tellers. Riding in my bicycle basket through the streets of the French Quarter is most definitely her favorite activity.

Her only flaw is that she does not get along with one of my other dogs. She is fine with my greyhound and small terrier type, but not with my oldest girl.

Hannah would be best served by being an only dog. She is a very loyal companion and does not enjoy “sharing” her masters with other animals. If she were my only dog, I would never think of giving her a new home. She is without a doubt the most intelligent, playful, alert, and loving girl I have ever known. Please contact me for more information and for pictures.

A D O P T E D !!!
       

If you are looking for a Schipperke that is young, vibrant and acts like a CLASS CLOWN..... then this Schip is for you!

Chloe is a black Schipperke and is two years old, has a curvy tail, and is full of spunk! She weighs between 13-14 pounds and originally came from a home where she was raised by a family with three young sons, therefore she ADORES children. She was surrendered due to a potty training issue.

Currently, she resides in Muncie, Indiana with her foster mom and 3 Schipperke housemates. Living in a foster home, she has been worked with daily for the past 6 months learning potty training RULES! She has been doing pretty well, but still sometimes needs a gentle reminder that she needs to go "outside to potty".

She gets along well with other dogs and enjoys playing with cats. Chloe is friendly to ALL people, but as a GOOD Schip should, at first she barks at anyone/anything new. She has been through obedience training at PetSmart and knows how to sit, come and stay.

Chloe is in good health. She is currently vaccinated, spayed and on heartworm/flea preventatives all year around. She did see a opthalmologist in Indianapolis a few months ago for squinting her eyes. She was diagnosed with KCS (Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca) which is simply........ dry eyes. In order to keep her eyes lubricated, Chloe requires an ointment to be put in her eyes once every other day. This is a treatment that she will require for life and does very well with it.

She enjoys "Spa days" meaning she is a peach to bathe and LOVES being blow dried.

This little gal craves attention and will plant herself on your lap for as long as you allow her to stay! She is crate trained and sleeps in a crate at night with one of her Schipperke housemates.

Please give this little gal a chance. She will warm your heart with her sweetness and silliness and be a wonderful companion to anyone! AND...as you can see from her picture..........she comes with her OWN SOFA, which she so adores lounging on!

Hi, I'm Yogi and I find people to be quite comfy. I am the kind of boy who loves people and attention and sharing your space and oh, I also love sleeping in bed with a human. They are so warm.

I'm not sure how I ended up here. The people at the shelter said I was a "stray" and no one came to claim me. I am such a happy boy, I don't understand how I could ever have been a stray. I even do good with dogs.

I am a big boy and should be about 20 pounds. I need to lose a pound or two, but HEY, it's more to love !

I really want a home that will love me and let me be a real part of the family with full rights to the couch, the bed, and a human lap. But, mainly I just want to some humans to love who might love me in return.

Denny is a 4-year-old male Schipperke who is being fostered in Valdosta, GA. He weighs about 14 pounds, and is one of the OK-20 rescues. Denny has a great, friendly personality, but he still is on the shy side when it comes to new people and new places. He has gotten along very well with our other dogs here. Denny's new home will have to have a securely fenced yard, as if he gets loose, he will be gone.

Denny is available for adoption through SchipperkeRescueNet.

Kiby is 8 to 10 years old, and is a sweet dog with people, but can be very dominant with other dogs. Kiby came from a puppymill and was a breeder dog, which is probably why she prefers that other dogs keep their distance. Kiby is a great people dog and would love a home where she can be the only baby.

Lucie is one of the 20 Schipperkes that recently came into rescue. She is about 3-5 years old, is very friendly, learns new behaviors quickly ... but is very shy of new people. After a couple days, she warms up to her new humans. As you can see in one of the photos, Lucie has learned a new trick ... see how well she can sit! Lucie does learn very quick and is eager to please. She has learned to come when called, and sits promptly when she arrives. If you enjoy Obedience with rescue Schipperkes, then you might consider adopting Lucie. She is crate-trained and leash-trained. Alas, just as we were ready to integrate her into the household and get her house-trained ... she came into season! She will most likely house-train rather quickly.

Molly is a sweet dog that is somewhat frightened by other dogs. Molly is somewhat timid and shies easily at loud or sudden noises. Molly takes time to warm up, but once she does, she is a sweet dog. Molly will need a quite home with no other dogs or small children.

Toby is a good boy! Toby had a strained start on life. He went to his first real family, and then lost them due to the harsh economy. Toby was given to someone to be placed in a home and after a few months was moved. After only a couple of months, Toby was turned over to us. This is four homes, mostly short term homes, that little Toby has had and he is only 2 years old! Toby still needs some work with his housebreaking, but has not tried to lift his leg inside his foster home. He does seem to want to leave a message at the vet clinic and pet store, however. Toby is a little timid when he first meets people, but if he has a few minutes, he warms right up and wants to make friends. He doesn't like to be reached for and will generally back up (normal). We don't think he has had much exposure to small children and is very cautious about meeting them. Neighborhood children (5 and 8 yrs of age) and pretty active came to visit Toby. He was not sure he wanted to be anywhere close to them. Older children that aren't so active would probably be fine. Toby would probably do best in a home that does not have active small children. Loving, patient adults and older kindhearted teenage children would most likely make him happiest.

Cherie (Cher for short) is on of 20 Schipperkes turned into rescue as a group. While Cher came in very shy, she is blooming quite quickly. Cher is a chocolate Schipperke. She is spayed, up to date on all vaccinations, heartworm negative, and on heart worm preventative. Cher is a very, very sweet and playful Schip. She is doing very well with other dogs and loves to play with them. Cher is protective of her food when in her crate though; towards other dogs only, never at all towards people. Cher will need a securely fenced yard to play in, but she loves being a housedog. At her foster home, after her jobs and playtime, she makes a beeline to the door, ready to go back inside. Cher is doing well with coming when called, within the confines of our fenced yard. She will sometimes be a little slow to respond, but we have noticed that is when she still has some unfinished business to take care of. While we can't say Cher is 100% housebroken, she has been very clean in the house and also in her crate.

Bonnie is a 6-7 year old blue schipperke who spent most of her life in a puppy mill. She was dumped at a kill shelter when she could no longer produce puppies. Because of that, she has a hard time trusting people. But once she learns to trust, she loves being around you! Another side effect of being caged for so long is that she is very grateful for and loves her freedom. Every day is a joy for this girl and she wants to share that with her person. It's like having your very own little ray of sunshine.

Bonnie had surgery at the beginning of the year to repair a painful luxating patella. Because of this, she has a difficult time doing more than a few stairs. Anything other than a one-story home would be difficult for her, and would put added stress on her joints. She has completely healed from the surgery, but should be on joint supplements for the rest of her life to help with the resulting arthritis.

She gets along well with other nice dogs. She completely ignores cats. Although she walks nicely on a leash, a fenced yard would be best for this girl, as every morning starts with a run at top-speed!

Bonnie is spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, heart worm negative and on preventative. She is housebroken and crate trained. An adult home would be best for Bonnie.

REUNITED WITH OWNERS!!!

 

 

If your heart desires a dog that prefers to be with you 24/7, then this Schipperke is for you! No matter where you are, she prefers to be with you. Her name is Paige and she is 4.5 years old.

She is currently in a foster home in Muncie, Indiana & has been for the past 4 months. She comes from an owner that had her since she was 6 weeks old. She knows how to sit, come and stay and is potty trained. She enjoys sitting on your lap, being petted, playing with toys and car rides. She ADORES car rides.

Paige mostly enjoys being an inside dog, especially in questionable weather. She will go outside to potty, but pretty much wants to come right back in. In nice weather, she does enjoy going for walks on a harness, chasing toys and running in a fenced yard.

She is a large Schipperke, weighing 19-20#, but does not look overweight. She stands tall with a larger frame.

Paige has been spayed, has no known medical problems, is current on vaccinations, is heartworm negative and is on heartworm/flea preventatives year around. She does need to go to a home where there are no other pets as she prefers to be the alpha dog. She would be a wonderful companion for someone wanting company, loyalty and watchdog qualities. She shows her appreciation by being very affectionate.

Please find it in your heart to give her a chance! She will win your heart with her sweetness. Please feel free to call my cell# @ (765)749-8074 for more information. Thanks! Holly Baker

 

Kayla is sadly in need of a home. Her human mom passed away after suffering a severe stroke. Kayla has been safe with a boarding kennel that she is familiar with and has visited through out her life, but the kennel owner would like to see Kayla have a real home of her own, in a house, not in living as a kennel dog. Kayla is a really sweet girl that gets along with other dogs. She is a senior and would do best is a home that is overly busy. If you an open heart for this sweet little girl, please contact us. Kayla is spayed and has the current vaccinations as needed for a senior dog.

Sam was last seen wearing a blue collar, he is 3 years old. He is very friendly, though probably would not go up to a
stranger unless coaxed with food if he is hungry. He has never bitten or growled at another dog or person. He is
actually a bit of a mush. Sam has not been neutered.

He is microchipped it may come up under Taylor or Hassell.

My phone number is (410)290-8070 my cell is (443)538-2236, If no answer, please contact 757-814-3430. 

Thank you for your help, I am crushed over this. He has never spent the night outside or had to fend for himself.
I am concerned for his safety. He is microchipped it may come up under my name or Hassell.

     

  

 

 

 

 

PATTI is an approximately 9-year-old sweet-as-pie girl!! Smart and loving, she's a real charmer who loves attention and is adept at trying to outsmart her humans. She's good with the other dogs, but will try and be just a bit bossy....then she backs down.

An energetic girl, who also likes her quiet time, PATTI is crate trained, but does prefer to sleep out. PATTI would do best in an adult-only home, but would be happiest placed with OSKAR, her 12 year old Schip companion.

Although she's extremely hard of hearing, she's adjusted well. Up-to-date on all vaccinations and on heartworm and flea/tick preventative, PATTI has recently had dental and senior bloodwork, with all numbers good. PATTI and OSKAR will be wonderful additions to any adult home...especially someone home a lot, as they both love to have people around. For more information on adopting PATTI & or OSKAR, please email Karen at dogs4nh@yahoo.com.or Susan at schipfreak@schipperkerescue.net.

 

 

OSKAR is around 12-years-old and is as loving a dog as his foster has ever seen! A total sweetheart who attaches to people very quickly, he's quite smart and has the rhythm of the foster home all figured out. He's very good with the other dogs, but should not be considered with cats.

OSKAR has limited sight, but finds his way around easily; he has a severe dry eye condition which requires multiple daily treatments (which he readily climbs up to receive).

Totally up-to-date on all vaccinations, he's recently had senior bloodwork and a dental, with all numbers good. On heartworm and flea/tick preventative, OSKAR is crate trained and good in the house with only an occasional correction needed for scent marking. He would love to be placed with PATTI, as they have always been together. For more information, please email Karen at dogs4nh@yahoo.com or Susan at schipfreak@schipperkerescue.net.

Meet Miss Lulu. She is our newest rescue. Lulu had to be given up by her owner because her owner wasn't able to physically care for her.

She is a great little girl, probably 8 lbs or so, has a cute little tail and is full of energy and mischief. She was born in November of 09 so she is 7 months old, UTD on her shots and is in good health that we can tell.

She is shy at first when meeting people but will come around in time. I think she is partial to the men folk. Her housetraining is work in progress but that is the only problem that we can see. She does well around other dogs and cats.

For more information, please contact 4schips@schipperkerescue.net.

Jelly Bean is a sweet little girl who needs a forever home. Jelly Bean is a puppy mill survivor who spent her entire life in a cage with other dogs. No one played with her, gave her treats, or loved her.

When she arrived at the Humane League she was placed in a foster home where she has worked on walking on a leash, playing with toys, and house training. She has also adjusted very well to the resident dogs in her foster home and she also enjoys the children who live in her foster home.

If you would like to give this beautiful girl a forever home, please contact Lori Kelley at lkelley@humaneleague.com or 717 393- 6551 ext. 231

Hi, my name is Captain. Yes. that is like a captain of a ship because I am just one happy sailor right now.  This nice lady came and took me from some not so nice living conditions and cleaned me up proper including my teethes. They aren’t all there but what is there is cleaned and polished. I am very docile, calm and quiet. I love attention, being touched, patted and rubbed and will come up and put my right foot in the air or lay it on you as to say hello. I never bite or to grab food and I am a very grateful little man. And get this......I am house broken and come when called!! I think I would be a very good dog for someone who wants companionship and prefers calm & quiet. So give these nice folks a jingle and let’s get the ball rolling.

Sincerely,

Captain

 

 

 

 

UPDATE

Theo went to his new home last week, and so far, things are going very well. He’s behaving, and they love him to bits.

6/17/2010
Well, Theo went to an adoptive home, but, despite a prior meeting with the other dogs in the home, it turned out that he was just too much for him.  Here is what his foster mom said:

"Well, it was awfully quiet around here, but not anymore. Theo came home today. He was frightening one of the other dogs, so that she was hiding in the bedrooms and vomiting, and the elderly schip didn’t like him at all. He scared the one dog when he was playing with his toy. All the growling and pouncing on it was too much for her. They all met each other the week before, and everyone did fine together, so this was somewhat unexpected.

He’s an alpha dog, and needs to go to a home where that will be ok. I can tell you, he’s happy to be back here!"

He’s very driven, and very food motivated. I really need to find him a JOB.

Clearly, Theo needs to be in a home that is active and experienced with a strong-willed, dominant dog.  So, if you think you are the right home for this LBD (in this case the D stands for 'devil'), fill out and send your application in and be sure to mention Theo.
 

Theo is 2 years old, neutered and up-to-date on all vaccinations. He is a very alpha male, super-smart, confident, with high food and toy drive. He plays rough with other dogs, and will occasionally snap or growl at them over food, but otherwise gets along with them ok. He does best with a well-controlled feeding routine. He takes food very politely by hand, and knows to sit for treats and dinner.

Although Theo loves playing with older children, he will bite at their hands or growl if he doesn’t want to be picked up or grabbed. He will not be placed in a home with younger children. Older children should be dog-wise.

Theo is very sweet, and very devoted, as long as he respects your dominance. He will need a very consistent owner, preferably one who has dealt with an alpha dog before. He is very friendly with people, but he does take his watch dog job seriously.

Theo is crate trained and housebroken. He is a medium-sized schip, weighing in at 16-17lbs. He is not destructive, and can be trusted alone in the house. He is being fostered with cats, and has learned not to chase them, but there is still a mutual dislike.

To see Theo in action with his toy, check out his YouTube video:

If you think Theo might be the right dog for you, please contact Jan McAfee at jmcafee@numail.org.
