We are estimating that Otis is about 7 years old. It appears he has never had any formal training. The behavior problem that has prevented his adoption (despite great interest otherwise) is that he is destructive. He is VERY oral, and given anything, will tear it to shreds. This includes bedding and toys. Left alone, he will destroy furniture, and clothing. With positive focus, he does well. But without that focus, he gets bored. He needs a purpose, and someone who has the time, patience and knowledge to devote to training him. We don't feel that Otis is a lost cause. We just do not have the time or staff to devote to him, and do not want to see him continue his bad habits and live his life in a shelter.

Otis is up to date with routine vaccinations, but has not been neutered yet. If anyone is able to take him, we would be more than happy to have that done first. Thank you for your consideration.

Banjo is approximately 1-2 yrs old. He was found as a stray. Banjo knows several training commands, is in school now and is ready to learn more with a trusting leader. He is very affectionate and loves to be outside on his walks or just relax at your side. He has a musical and fun loving quality about him. Banjo will need understanding because there are somethings that make us think Banjo was not treated well before he came to us. Banjo will need a true friend committed to promote training and his adjustment to home life. Banjo is currently in a local pound awaiting a home to share and people to love him! He is a beautiful boy and gets along well with dogs his size! You can find an adoption application at www.ahimsahaven.org.

There are always many, many purebred Labs, Goldens, and other retrievers as well as retriever mixes available at the CACC (Centers for Animal Control and Care) in NY. These shelters hold hundreds of dogs at any given time. Often, these dogs are euthanized within days of their arrival. Unfortunately, NEARR does not always have room for these dogs and we are lacking volunteers in this area. These wonderful dogs need your help!
