Myra's Story

Myra is a 5-6 year old female, black Scottish Terrier. She's been in our rescue program a few months and is currently waiting on her last appointment to complete our medical process before she'll be ready for adoption. In the meantime, she's being trained and socialized and doing very well learning to walk on a leash, do steps, and with housetraining. Because she came from a breeding facility, she has had a lot to learn, as everything is totally new to her. She's smart and a fast learner, and has really started to enjoy her new and spoiled life. She does get along with other dogs and is very shy but sweet. Myra has dry eye which is being treated with daily prescription eye drops. She also has a low grade heart murmur related to a little mitral valve backflow, which we've checked out with an echocardiogram, and she's on one medication daily to improve this. She's doing very well on both, but it would be a maintenance expense an adopter would need to expect. <br/>Myra is being fostered west of Philadelphia. For information on her, 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!
