Iris's Story

Iris has just turned a year old and is a pretty, female, black Scottish Terrier. We got Iris from a puppymill who couldn’t breed her because she has a genetic issue called Scottie Cramp. Scottie experienced people are familiar with this. This is a genetic neurological trait that affects their gait (walking) when they get excited. It is not painful and does not require any medication. It just comes and goes, but does not prevent her from getting around in her own. Iris was not properly socialized when we got her, they never bothered much with her, so she was shy and fearful, and had never been exposed to anything. She’s been living in foster with our club member and her husband for over 6 months learning all she can. She gets along with the other dogs in her foster home and loves to nap in bed with her foster mom. Once she’s adopted and settles into her new life, she will continue to reach her full potential, with continued love and time. She deserves that chance.<br/>Iris is healthy, spayed and vaccinated. We are looking for a home owner who has a fenced yard, another dog for her to play with and learn from, no water features, no young children that could scare her, and northeast only.<br/>If you’d like to inquire about Iris or need more information on Scottie Cramp to help you make your decision, please contact Erica Cerny at ecerny@optonline.net or 973-361-6790. She is located in lower NY state.

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!
