Kizzy's Story

Kizzy came to us at 5 years old from a shelter. They'd contacted us for help because they felt she needed and deserved more than they could provide and had grown to love her. <br/>She's belonged to a woman who had spent time being homeless off and on and had finally died young. This left poor Kizzy without the resources to treat her allergies and then eventually homeless. Her skin and hair were damaged by years of no reliable or effective treatment. We have since gotten her in much better condition, spayed her to regulate her hormonal fluctuations that may have contributed to it, and treated her with daily apoquel to reduce itchiness. She's doing quite well now, but there hasn't been much hair regrowth to date. It could happen over time but it's also possible she will remain with the hairloss over a large percentage of her body. It's cosmetic at this point, but we understand this may not be the look most Scottie applicants are looking for. <br/>But, if you can see past that, Kizzy is a happy, lively little girl, who loves to play and is a good companion. She can keep herself entertained, and loves to sleep under the covers in bed with you. She's not that great with other dogs, although she's living with 3 other small dogs, so should probably be an only dog in her forever home. She will need to continue the daily allergy pill but that is the only medication she needs. She's been spayed, vaccinated, had great bloodwork, heartworm/lyme tested negative, and more. <br/>Kizzy did not get what she needed for the majority of her life, through no fault of her own. Despite all she's gone through, she is full of love and a loyal friend. If you can find it in your heart to right that wrong, and share your heart and home with her, she's someone who deserves that opportunity.<br/>For more details, 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!
