swiffer (gibbs)

Swiffer (aka Gibbs) is a survivor! He had been running stray for a whole YEAR before Good Samaritans were able to catch him. He is a 5-year-old, 14 lb. small breed mystery mix, possibly Miniature Poodle, and maybe some Havanese, Shih Tzu, or something similar. He also resembles a Schnauzer or small Terrier of some kind. He had been shaved down, but his coat is now growing in wavy, white, cream, and apricot, with gray furnishings. Swiffer is timid at first, understandable, given his past, but has never been snappy. He needs a little time to adjust to his new & improved circumstances, but it did not take long at all to adjust at his foster home. Swiffer is hoping to find a relatively quiet home, where he can decompress and relax after his year on the run. A securely fenced yard would be ideal for him.*Swiffer (Gibbs) is now in a foster home in Dunkirk. He settled in quickly, gets along well with the 4 resident Littles, walks well on leash, is playful, and is house trained. He is a sweet boy who loves attention. Meet & Greets can be arranged for approved applicants.*Approved applicants are welcome to participate in our popular Slumber Party program and take a dog home for up to 2 weeks to make sure he is a great fit.If you think you might be interested in adopting, your first step should be to complete an Adoption Application at www.caninerescue.org. *After you have completed your application, you will get a confirmation that we have received your application. It takes a lot of time to process the applications, so we ask for your patience while we do so. If you see that the dog you were interested in has been adopted it means there were many applications for that dog and we did not get as far processing your application before a home was found. We welcome you to apply again when you see another dog that interests you.If you have a question, please email us at adoptions@caninerescue.org. It is much easier and quicker for us to respond by email, as we receive many phone calls.We do adopt out of state, however we do not transport or ship dogs. Potential adopters must be able and willing to travel to the Rescue to meet the dog they are interested in.*PLEASE double check all of the phone numbers that you provide. If they are incorrect, we will not be able to process your application. Please also let your references know that someone from NCCR will be calling them. Most adoption team members call from their personal phone, so advise your references that there may be an unknown or private number calling them. Thank you!
