About CLANCY

CLANCY-Blanca was saved from a high kill shelter in Texas where dogs can often have only 3 days to be saved. Clancy has rabies, core vaccines, heartworm/tick disease tested negative for all. He is de-wormed, monthly preventatives and microchipped. At the time of rescue in the middle of April 2021,he weighed around 71.00 pounds and has an estimated date of birth of 1 October 2019. We cannot say for sure what breed he is, so we expect families to do their own research on his look and size and decide what breed you think he is and if you have the lifestyle suitable for his needs. CLANCY was adopted out soon after he arrived at the rescue, however, returned a few days later for not being a good fit. The families other dog attacked him when they met and Clancy apparently showed high prey drive towards their older cat. They said he also showed prey drive towards some cattle in a field on a walk. CLANCY has been at the rescue now for 2 months and is a great boy, he has shared a double kennel with several other dogs, he loves to wrestle and play around. He is a little alpha when it comes to food and treats, but has never been aggressive. He loves to hang outside on the elevated dog beds with his buddy, watching the birds, bee's, squirrels and chipmonks going back and forth. He is very gentle, sweet and affectionate. When I am cleaning, he will just stand close by me, waiting for me to gentle scratch his head. He is extremely responsive and a happy boy. We are looking for a family that is active and has time for a smart, handsome, high energy boy. It is important that families do introductions slowly and over a day or so, understanding that it is a lot of stress taking a dog from where they are safe and happy to an environment they do not know, with people that they do not know. Clancy needs an active family, who get out and about and take him on walks, trips and adventures, letting him explore and enjoy the outdoors. He is intelligent and so training and continual mental stimulation is also very important. We are not able to say how the dogs are around cats, small children or livestock. It is up to families to take all precautions and be prepared to work on training, mutual respect and providing safe place for other animals for potential long term. All dogs will use dog doors to go out and do their business or to enjoy the cool, fresh weather in their dog runs or communal areas. We cannot say if a dog is house-trained, however, we expect families to understand that all dogs need a transition period and accidents could happen and training is most definitely needed. You MUST understand that dogs need time to decompress and adapt to their new environment and home. It is a HUGE transition they make from the kill shelter, being vetted, on transport for 3 days and arriving in Maine where the temperature and such is very different to what they have only known. In rescue there is what is known as the '3 Point Rule' Days 1-3 your dog is stressed, anxious, confused as to where they are now. Weeks 1-3 your dog is adjusting, settling in, learning things. At the 3 month point, your dog understands they are home, and have built up a trusting relationship where they feel loved and secure.
