About PRESTON & NORMAN

Courtesy Posting: URGENT AT PHOENIX, AZ - ID #4156 -'PRESTON' and ID #4157-'NORMAN' AT MASH (Maricopa Animal Safe Haven), part of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office - previously abandoned on the Tonopah reservation - who can help and provide a forever home both (they do fine separated or together)? Fosters may also be needed if they need rescue. Super Seniors! Estimated to be 8-10 years young, approx. 45 lbs, super sweet, dog friendly, cat friendly, Chow/shepherd/golden retriever looking mixes We are in urgent need of finding a responsible forever home or foster for dear 'Norman' and 'Preston' (aka Priest for short) who are kenneled together and may be siblings. They are sadly from an abandonment case and came in with a third dog who sadly already passed away from medical conditions. Norman and Preston are now at MASH who exists to house, care for, and rehabilitate animals involved in cruelty, neglect, and abuse investigations. They provide safe housing for daily care and rehabilitation, both medically and behaviorally, for the animals that are a part of those investigations. Mash describes them as 'Good w/ dogs/cats/kids: Good with all. Behavior: Very friendly. No resource guarding, walk well, very happy dogs.' They further described Norman as 'a calm and laid-back dog who needs a little time to warm up to new people. Once he feels comfortable, he enjoys gentle pets and appreciates affection. He's good with other dogs and is looking for a patient owner who can give him the time he needs to settle in and trust.' .' They further described Preston as 'a quiet, adult male dog, estimated to be around 10 years old. He came to MASH after losing his owner and has mostly spent his time outdoors. While he can be a bit shy at first, he gets along well with both male and female dogs and has a sweet, gentle nature. Priest may take some time to feel comfortable, but with patience and calm kindness, he's sure to warm up and become a wonderful companion. He's looking for a caring home where he can feel safe and loved. Priest typically will only use the restroom on the 'potty turf' that we have in our day rooms, showing he's making strides on being housebroken. They provided videos the dogs interacting with one another: IMG_0094.MOV - Google Drive IMG_0095.MOV - Google Drive They also brought each dog into one of their cat cells and said, 'both showed no interest in the cats' and they provided us nice videos of the interactions and did great with them. IMG_0096.MOV - Google Drive and IMG_0097.MOV - Google Drive. Other than earlier tummy issues associated with kennel stress that he wa given probiotics for, Norman has no noted medical issues. Preston has some arthritis and has been prescribed Carprofen. A full copy of medical notes are available.
