Archie's Story

Archie is a 4 1/2 year old, brindle, male Scottish Terrier. He came into our rescue group a few months ago after his father died and elderly mother could not take care of him. He had never been away from his home before and was terrified to come into our foster home. He exhibited fearful aggressive behavior. After only a few days, as he started acclimating to his new location and foster mom, and he was like a different dog. He’s been learning a lot in his new home, many things he was never taught in his original home, and unlearning and relearning positive behaviors. We’re very proud of his fast progress. He’s quite smart! <br/>He’s recently been neutered and is vaccinated. He’s currently being treated for an ear infection and working with a trainer as well. After that, he will be ready for adoption. Because he’s a large Scottie, at over 30 pounds, and given his history, we think he’d do well in an adult home with or without other dogs. A quieter environment with a fenced yard, but where he can also take leash strolls. A Scottie experienced, patient and forgiving parent(s) would be his best fit. He’s young, healthy and active, playful and affectionate once he trusts you, so he’s got lots of good attributes. <br/>As with many Scotties, Archie does have some seasonal allergies that have been easily controlled by a periodic Cytopoint shot. <br/>For further information on Archie, please contact Erica Cerny at ecerny@optonline.net or 973-361-6790

Scottish Terrier Club of Greater New York Rescue's Adoption Policy
The Scottish Terrier Club of Greater New York Rescue adopts to applicants in the northeast US. Our adoption process consists of completing our preliminary application online at https://stcgny.com/rescue/how2adopt/ for a review. If our club's adoption requirements are met, you would complete a longer application, and we will check the references you provide on that form. Finally, a home visit is scheduled to see where the dog would be living. Please feel free to contact us by email to ask any questions, or for more information to help you make your adoption decision. Our club has set the adoption fee at $350, but for older dogs or those needing continuing medical care, we use a sliding scale for fees, as we understand the adopter will have additional expenses. We prefer to complete the screening process prior to meeting the dog you are interested in, but you can meet them first if that is more convenient for you. But, please understand that you cannot take the dog home with you until the screening process has been completed and your application has been approved by the rescue committee. Your cooperation will speed up the process! Our rescues are spayed or neutered before adoption, unless there is an age or medical reason prohibiting this. They are examined by our vet, vaccinated, checked for intestinal parasites, tested for heartworm and 3 types of local tick borne illnesses. Many are microchipped. They are professionally groomed if that's possible. Older dogs or anyone undergoing surgery will have full bloodwork done to verify their general health status. Other procedures may also be done as indicated before they are available for adoption. Copies of all these medical records, as well as any we are able to get from their past history, are provided at adoption time. You will be asked to sign a meet and greet form before meeting them, and an adoption contract if you adopt them. Please ask if you have any questions, we're happy to share any information about ourselves and our rescues!
