Hi, my name is Blinky, I am about a year and a half old (best estimate), and I was rescued from a kill shelter. I was very stressed in the shelter but you would be too! I have thick, soft, snow white fur and a nice Eskie smile. I really like being with my people and also like a lot of attention.

My foster Mom says I am house trained and I have not had any accidents in the house. When I need to go out, I go and sit by the door or paw at you to get your attention. Aren't I smart? I also can sit and lay down on command and can "shake", too. I walk nicely on a leash without pulling. When left out of my crate, I am not destructive and don't chew on things I shouldn't. I get along with most other dogs and small animals and I even leave my foster Mom's parrot alone! Did I say I was smart?

I am, but I'm not perfect. I am overweight and need to lose some pounds to stay healthy for the rest of my life. Matter of fact, the vet says I should weigh between 30 and 32 pounds. A low-calorie diet and lots of walks will be best for me. At first, I was afraid of my foster Dad but now I enjoy his company and jump up on his lap. However, I do make friends with women better than I do men. Like most Eskies, I bark at strangers and take awhile to warm up to new people. I can be very defensive of my family so it's probably best that I do not go to a home with kids because they have a lot of friends and visitors and I may not like that. I do not like it when strange people enter and leave my home and my foster Mom supervises me carefully when visitors come and go. She corrects me if I am not polite and I've made a lot of progress learning to accept new people without causing a fuss. I do not like loud noises and sudden movements as they startle me. Hopefully, when I get comfortable in my furever home and feel secure, I won't be so jumpy.

I am a really beautiful Eskie, healthy, neutered, and I want to go to a home where I will be loved and appreciated. Could that be you? Please fill out an application or contact my foster Mom, Lara (laramahr@yahoo.com) if you want more information about me.

Good with Dogs, Good with Cats, Is Not Good with Kids

Whenever possible Eskie Rescuers United tries to adopt out its dogs locally (or at least to adopters in adjoining states to where I'm being fostered). Please note that ERU processes LOCAL adoption applications before considering those from out of state.

If I'm not local to you, as explained above, and you really have your heart set on me, you will have to make special arrangements so ERU can get me to you safely (for example, flying me to you at your own expense, or paying a transport group to drive me to you). Note: We may ask that you to make a donation to cover transport costs if the distance is great and we have trouble finding transport drivers.

There is an adoption fee required; and, please be aware, Eskie Rescuers United will not adopt out its dogs as outdoor dogs.

Eskie Rescuers United American Eskimo Dog Rescue, Inc. is an IRS-approved 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Please click the donation button below to make a tax-deductible donation through PayPal and help make a difference to even one American Eskimo dog!
