Red's Story

This is Red, and yes, it's hard not to fall in love with him. <br/><br/>But before you do, we need to let you know something about him. This sweet pup was born with Megaesophagus. What this means, is that the muscles in his esophagus don't work properly to bring food to his stomach. He has to eat sitting up. He's learning about eating in a Bailey chair and has been doing well. We'd like to say that dogs with Megaesophagus are easy, but honestly, they're not, and because of the issues associated with Megaesophagus, they can be prone to develop aspiration pneumonia and malnutrition and need extensive medical care. For more information about Megaesophagus in dogs, please check out https://caninemegaesophagusinfo.com/<br/><br/>Now that that is out of the way, Red is a typical puppy and is in his full velociraptor phase. He's learning what he's allowed to bite, and what's he not. He's learning all the things, yet also knows nothing. He is not house or crate trained at this time. <br/><br/>Red is a happy strong willed boy who is going to need a home not only dedicated and financially able to care for his medical needs but have the time and patience to train a GSD puppy into a well-adjusted adult dog. <br/><br/>This boy is looking for an adult home or one with older kids for his next home. (This is because he is in his hard biting stage with his sharp pointy teeth, as well as his eating needs to be closely monitored which is harder to do with young ones dropping snacks.) <br/><br/>Red could potentially live with another dog, he has dog friends but can be overwhelmed by dog who come on strong. Once comfortable he is a typical annoying puppy to the adult dogs. It would be important that any adult dogs in the home have good puppy and dog skills.<br/><br/>For more information about Red or to set up an appointment to meet him, please email info@rescueleague.org.

Animal Rescue League of New Hampshire's Adoption Policy
All adoptions are done on an appointment only basis, for specific animals. No animals have multiple families visiting them at one time, this wouldn't be fair to them or for you. Because of this, we do not book out appointment more than 24-48 hours in advance. We are CLOSED for browsing at this time to keep the stress level of the animals in our care as low as possible. Thank you for your understanding! We DONT have online applications, we prefer to have a open line of communication with our potential adopters. Our process is more educational based. Our adoption counselors will be able to tell you if the animal you're interested in will be able to go home the same day. Visit rescueleague.org to view our adoptable pets and call 603-472-3647 to schedule an appointment!
