Facebook fans, we could use your prayers for our buddy Blue tomorrow. You see, Blue came to us from a local shelter after being surrendered to them with a host of health issues that not been taken care of. He is an adorable, upper-middle aged Chihuahua that was underweight, had an untreated eye ulcer, intestinal parasites, allergies, overgrown nails, a urinary infection, dental disease, and and enlarged heart that required a cardiology consult. His enlarged heart revealed issues with leaky valves that makes anesthesia more tricky, but he definitely needs some dental work done. Tomorrow, he goes in for his dental procedure with with the cardiologist protocol. Our paws are crossed that he comes through with flying colors and a much more comfortable mouth when he heals up. On top of your prayers, he could also use some donations to chip away at his pile of medical bills from his multiple vet visits. His cardiology appointment and upcoming dental alone will total around $2000. We certainly think he is worth it!

Getting this email today both breaks our hearts and reminds us of the importance of the work that we do. With each dog we save and adopt out, we are also making a family complete and bringing them years of cherished memories. Mandy Mae was definitely a one of a kind dog, and several of her puppies that she had in our care ended up having her same unique look. Rosie (formerly Jaime) was one of them.

It is with the heaviest heart that we let you know our beloved Rosie (the last of Mandy Mae’s litter) has crossed over the rainbow bridge.
We have been extremely blessed to have loved her on this earth for almost 12 years. She was our constant companion at home and traveling across the country, through children growing up and off to college. She was a neighborhood favorite, deemed “The Mayor” of our street as you couldn’t pass by our house without greeting her. She especially loved and was loved by any children in the area. Many cars had to stop, roll down the windows so the kids could say hi to what was deemed as “the perfect dog”. I am biased so I have to agree! She loved hanging out at the school bus stop with “her kids” even after ours were grown and gone. “What breed is she?” was a constant question as she had such an interesting wire haired coat/color. My response of “one of a kind” was confirmed when we finally did a DNA test at the end and found that she not surprisingly had 22 breed! Shepherd, Rottweiler and American Pit Bull Terrier were in the top 3. Crazy because to me and so many others, she looked like an Irish Wolfhound, except for the height, and looked so much like her momma although we loving kept her coat longer.
We are eternally thankful for the work you do and for accepting Mandy Mae even though, like our Rosie, she was what I affectionately call a “plus sized girl”. Rosie enriched our lives and the lives around us including converting many who had a fear of large dogs.
She will be greatly missed by so many. Thank you for giving us this opportunity
Run free Rosie! 💗

Love,
The Harm Family

Meet Chip! He is a 5yr old Yorkshire terrier weighing in around 11lbs (he could lose a few). He came to NBS when his Mom had to go into a full time care facility. Prior to that, she loved him dearly and spent all her time at home with him. Chip loves his people and bonds strongly. He is used to having all the attention, so he would do best as an only dog, where he can be completely doted upon. Interestingly, while not always a fan of dogs, he does enjoy the company of feline companions. He enjoys going for leashed walks, but will sometimes bark at people and dogs passing by. His ideal home would be with someone who is home the majority of the time. He is potty trained, but has some separation anxiety, which leads to a tendency to mark when left alone. He is a tiny fella, so he will need a fenced yard with no openings to squeeze out of, or someone committed to walking him. If you think Chip sounds like a dog that you could devote your love to, please visit our website to fill out an application at: www.nbsar.org

UPDATE - ADOPTION PENDING
We had multiple applications come in over the weekend and will be evaluate to find the best fit for Mia. Thank you for all the shares

Please welcome Mia to NBS Animal Rescue. She is a 7-8lb shih tzu mix, believed to be about a year old. She is a great mix of spunky and chill. She's got energy to play and legs like springs to hop into your lap on the couch and snuggle. She just got spayed a week ago and is doing great with her potty training. In fact, she only had accidents her first night in a new foster home. She has been around other dogs, and prefers them to be her size. She can be sassy sometimes around toys and food, so a dog that is willing to let her have her sassy way would be the best fit if there is another animal in the home. She is fast, and will dart out a door to check things out if it is open long enough, so we would caution homes with young kids that don't have another barrier to keep her inside. We do not recommend cats or an apartment or attached living facility, as she does bark as people come and go and does not seem to favor felines. Please give her a share or visit our website to fill out an application if you think she might be a good fit for you.
