WHERE I'M BEING FOSTERED: Chambersburg, PA Hi, my name is Shubi, and my foster mommy says I'm a fantastic dog! There's not much known about my previous life, as I was found by animal control, but my foster mommy thinks I must have been someone's companion, since I'm so well-behaved and socialized. She says I don't need any obedience training and I have no aggression issues! I'm brilliant white, almost silver, in color. Unfortunately, I tested positive for Lyme disease, so I'm currently on a course of medications to get me all better. Then I'll be ready to be adopted by you! I'm wonderful on a leash, I know my basic commands, and I'm always up for a car ride. I get along well with other animals (both dogs and cats), and I'm a very playful guy. I'm also an affectionate boy who likes to snuggle. (I'll sleep in your bedroom if you let me--maybe even in bed with you!) Now I've got something to tell you that you might think is quite funny (or strange, perhaps). You see, when I go pee-pee, I do a handstand on my front legs, like I'm a learning a balancing act for the circus. It's quite a sight to see! But then, we Eskies are known for our intelligence and agility and have been used in circus acts for years. Well, that's all to report for now. As my foster mommy learns more about me, she'll get me signed onto the Internet so I can update you on my latest progress. Or if you already think I'm the perfect guy for you, then please hurry up and fill out an adoption application for me. I'm waiting here for you just as patiently as I know how! If you're interested in me and would like more information, please contact Gina at: gina@eskierescuersunited.org or feel free to e-mail my foster mommy, Peggy, directly at: peggy@eskierescuersunited.org. You can also go to our web site by clicking here to fill out an adoption application for me. 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. To get me to you, we can do what's called an "Eskie Railroad," which is a group of volunteer drivers who will each drive a certain portion of the transport. (We always ask that you, as the adopter, help out by taking the final leg.) If I'm not local to you, as explained above, and you really have your heart set on me, you may 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). There is a $150 adoption fee for me, and please be aware that Eskie Rescuers United will not adopt out its dogs as outdoor dogs. Thank you and WOOF! Shubi
