Pink Paw Rescue Society

HI again!

Just a quick lising of things we can use for the rescue at this time to keep dogs safe and comfie.
I try to keep the list to things that are inexpensive... pre-used items in good shape are great! Some of our dogs get a bit destructive at times.

1. Blankets, comforters, towels . This will keep them warm in winter and provide a cushion in kennels.

2. Food, or gift certificates from Wal-mart, Chewy, Pet Smart, Amazon, and Petco.

3. Toys! Indestructable are the best ones, Nylabone, BullyMake etc. Their softer rubber ones for power chewers are great. I ask for these as even at 3 months old, my dane pup destroyed anything softer. No rawhide please as it is very difficult for dogs to digest. I do also like the rope toys, they are used only undersupervision, but are great for teething, chewing for dental care and playing tug with. Nylabone superchewers are destroyed in less than 5 min by some dogs. Including mine. LOL. Power chewers are best.

4. Treats of almost any type. Again, no rawhide even if made of small compressed parts. And I do not like anything made by Hartz as I have had issues with their products on several dogs.

5. Vitamins/ joint protection tablets.

6. Leashes and collars for large and x-large dogs. I do prefer Max and Neo on Amazon (or MaxandNeo.com). They are reflective for the solid colors, and they have a buy one and they donate one to a rescue or shelter. You can even put your favorite in there to receive them.

That may be a long list, but if you have any questions on why we prefer specific items, please contact us. We are not trying to ask the moon, just what is best for our dogs.


And, some of you may be aware, some may not, of the special needs for giant breed dogs like Great Danes, Mastiffs of all sorts, Great Pyrenees, some breeds of shepherds, and even large sized Bully breeds. So, if I ask for specific types of things, it is to prevent injury or promote their best health. Most giant breeds grow over 2 ft in one year, often a bit more. Their dietary needs are a bit different, especially when puppies. Their protein needs are only about 24% and fat only about 12% compared to most other breeds.

Pics are of: Maverick, adopted with his best pal and brother, Goose. They now have a 100 acre playground! Daisy Mae is with 2 pigs, 2 other dogs, a rabbit and 3 hooman siblings in town. She walks next to the wild rabbits that are near the 3.5 ft fence. Last is Zena, with Bear just before he passed. She is now an ESA and service dog in training to a wonderful woman who is now a very happy person, and Zena is blooming under her love.

UPDATE!
June 2024
     I got adopted out to a great couple with 2 playmates. They even have a huge yard, take me on walks, and let me sneak treats! I am so happy here. I love my new family so much.
​
   
  I have been in foster now for several months and have decided I am a Dutchess. I keep everyone else in line.  I'm almost 5 yrs old but you would not know it! I like to play with my balls and especially have my piggy with me. I prefer outside when the weather is good, not too cold or too hot, but need to be inside at times as well. I am crate trained, potty trained, and good with commands. I seem to adjust well to new things and situations taking a bit of time.  I get along with most other dogs, someone my size or even a bit smaller would make a great playmate! I do not like cats at all, but they are fun to chase! And when the deer are near, I tell the deer they need to leave my space but have not tried to chase after them.

I have been told I am very sweet and loving, a true gentle giant. I am waiting to get spayed as I am a bit too old for having puppies. I also make a great guard dog letting you know when someone I don't know is near the house. But that is what a good dog does. I just bark at them.

I am good on a leash, and I LOVE to go for car rides too. I am big and don't know my own size, so older kids would be better but I do ok around smaller ones if they don't get near enough for me to knock them over.

MS.Daisy Mae!

UPDATE:

As of March 2023,
Wow, Daisy now has a new Dane sister! And she is officially a foster fail as well
Daisy is in a foster home now! They have 3 kids, 3 other dogs, tons of fish tanks, a rabbit and 2 pigs. She is doing great there. She is much more socialized, but a bit leery of men or tall boys til she gets to know them sitting down. Unfortunately, the pigs refuse to play with her, but she loves watching the fish and rabbit, as well as the view of trains out the front window. She has now passed dog 2.5! You would never know she had any issues before at all. And all this progress in a short 4 months. This girl learns at the speed of light! No counter stealing noted even. And the best news is that Daisy's fosters want to adopt her ***!!!!!!***

She has one last trip to the vets to check the lumps still there 3.5 months after her spay. They do not seem to be attached to her abdomen, but they are clumping together and becoming firmer . Well, she had surgery for removal
of her lumps. They kept her overnight due to a bit of bleeding. She went home to her fosters and was fine for 4 days. Then she started bleeding again and had to have ANOTHER surgery to repair the first and remove more tissue. She is now doing well and being a typical dane, laying on the sofa all day long! lol. She loves her brother and sister dogs and pigs. She gave up interest since the inside bunny is lazy but jumps like a rabbit to play with the ones outside her fenced in yard.


This is Ms. Daisy Mae!. She is a 2 and a half yr old Great Dane. She is HER puppy stage right now as she has had at least 4 litters in her short time and never got to be a puppy hardly herself. Daisy will never have to worry about having another litter as she is now spayed. She is on hold to adopt for now as she needs to learn some basic commands and gain some weight and muscles to get her girlish figure back. She does respond very quickly to her name from anyone.

Daisy has a lot of promise as a guardian dog. She let you know if something is different in the neighborhood. Daisy loves to give kisses and get lots of attention, typical of a Dane. A bit more on the clumsy side, but loves other male dogs and to play with them. Not tested on other female dogs yet. She is having to learn to be a dog since she was kept in a kennel for most of her life to date. We hope she will be ready in 6 months, but will let her determine when she is ready to be adopted.

Keep your eye on this girl, she has the potential to become quite the lady! The last picture is with my Dane, Ethan, whom I rescued and she was a kennel mate of. She also plays with Thor, who has already been adopted out and just waiting for the fence to be finished so he can go to his fur-ever home and his new mom and dad will train him as a PTSD dog.

HELLO, OOO, oooo! My name is Echo! I am 2.5 years old and very well behaved. I walk well on a leash and can even go off leash after I get to know you out on walks out of town or especially in the woods. I can be in a crate, but I would rather be near you all the time. Not velcro, just in the same room doing my thing if you are  busy. I get along great with most other dogs, but have near enough to a cat to know if we can be friends or just in same room. I know about deer, but not close enough to them either.

Oh, in case I forgot, since there are two of us in the picture, I am a Border Collie. So I am smart. I can learn just about anything if you take your time to teach me. I am currently not neutered, but have all shots except rabies, and will get that soon. I love chasing or playing fetch with a ball, or run next to you jogging or on a bike.
In fact I could probably loose a couple pounds, but I am really fluffy too!

Let Kim know if you want to visit with me and take me home. My foster mom will show me off for you by appointment. I can hardly wait to meet my new family! Hurry to get me for lots of fall and winter adventures and fun!

Hi!
WOW, an update!
I have been adopted again! Yea me! but actually, I am so handsome, who would not want me by their side to show off?

My new family has 3 kids, mom and dad (who is in the service), and would you believe they drove all the way from Washington state just to see me? I think they are great and I love there is a job to do. I not only get to make sure the family is always ok, but I will be getting more training as a service dog! AND I have a little sister, Willow. She is a white poof-ball and would fit in my mouth if I wanted to do that. She is a bouncy girl and not afraid of my size at all. I hope we can play together without me hurting her.

I have a HUGE yard to explore, and chickens in a pen. I found I am a bit afraid of them, but they seemed curious about me. lol.

I appreciate everyone that wanted to adopt me, but there just is not enough of me to go around!

Slobbery kisses everyone!

My name is Thor. I am just now almost 2 yrs old. I am a Daniff, half Mastiff and half Great Dane. I was previously adopted and am back as they were both in a car accident and are looking over me til I cross the Rainbow Bridge years from now. They thought I would make a great service dog. So, from the middle of Oct. 2021 til about the middle of August I have been in training. Out on my first real job they said I passed with flying colors! I did not get distracted, I sat when told and settled well without moving or going over across the hall to see what I could find. I walked beside my daddy with no issues in his wheelchair. When they told Kim at PPRS, she took that with a grain of salt, but is still so proud of me! So now, instead of just playing with another dog in the yard and getting into trouble (I used to think farm animals and cats were just big toys for me to play with, but I admit now I might have been a bit rough on them).

I had a job as a SERVICE DOG. That made me feel very important. I am looking for a new home that will give me a chance to be a fully trained service dog. I am very affectionate and kinda learning that I am not a tiny lap dog, even though I like sitting in laps. I want to be the bestest dog I can be. Most of the time. hehehe, I still get into trouble but am learning some of my ideas dont work out so well. I am very active when playing with my pack, but calm and mellow when needed for support. I like making people happy and am very well socialized with people and dogs. Neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. I want to continue training so I can be just what you need!

Ok, so we are not a giant breed. We are English  Setters!

UPDATE: 12/16/22
Hey guys! Boy did we hit the jackpot at our new home. Not only do we have a new mom and dad, but we have our very own boy to play with! AND we got to go to the same home!! They have 100 acres to play on, well, when it gets warmer out. We go do perimeter checks when we can. We are now doing so well, getting some training. Maybe we can learn how to catch a frisbee, and show everyone where birds are. We think they would like to watch them rather than hunt, but that is ok. They are building a house there so there will be lots of activity when it is warmer. Well help them build it and tell them what we want so the house is ours too.

Adopted!
We are now about 7 months old and there are two of us that are available to become your hunting dog or pet. Mom and Dad are available for you to see and both are registered. Dad is white with lots of black speckles, lean and very friendly. Mom is white and red, with fewer speckles. She is trained as a hunter. We are both microchipped, UTD, and have been well socialized with both other dogs around us and we gravitate to our humans for pets and cuddles.

HI,

OMG! I have a great new home. It is on 12 acres! I don't know if my legs will let me explore that much at one time. My new mom and dad already had 2 dogs, so I still have some company. One is a young dog, and boy does he like to play. The other dog is about 10 yrs and does not always want to play due to arthritis. But, I love to play! And they have so many balls for me to chase. I may have only one eye, but sometimes I find it before my brothers do.

Ok, I ended up have surgery to remove my eye. Thank you to everyone that donated for it.
I am all healed up and still beating the pants off my brothers! I take toys when I can, esp. from Wesson. He is a big german shepherd and grumbles but I'm so cute he can't resist. Tigger on the other hand could be a it more polite, but he is still basically a puppy at heart!.

I have been there almost 4 months now and do you know what? I just found out we share our crate/bed area with a rabbit! And he has been here the whole time! Boy I thought it was just Wesson smelling funny! lol. Watching the rabbit is great, I call it Bunny TV!

I love my new family so much. We go and do things together and take wonderful hikes.

See ya later, gator! Bella out.

Hi everyone!
UPDATE!!!!!

I have been adopted! They filled out the application, talked with Kim who checks everything out and they were approved! Pending the home visit. Which we did too. I met my new mom and dad and they are so nice. I have a big house with a HUGE yard to roam. they live at the top of a bluff and you can see the whole city from there. There is a porch that goes on forever upstairs if I want to stay out of the yard. We drove 6 hours to get me here for the home check. My new mom shares custody with her ex for 2 dogs and we made sure to meet them. I'm really laid back so it was not an issue. They also had a dog friend they dog sit for, so I met 3 new friends. I was a lady and behaved well, but it was a bit overwhelming at first, but 30 min later we all were pals.

Kim got pics of my first night there and I am just cool, calm and relaxed next to mom and my Irish Wolfhound brother. She said I look so spoiled and loved already. I think I'm gonna be a daddy's girl, but I am there to keep mom company while she works and my brothers are not here. I'll see if mom can get some pics of me to share at my new home. I'll miss Lily (Kims' dog) and Kim, but this way she can find more amazing homes for other pupper dogs that need them.

Ciao!

I'm Brighla and I think I'm so pretty. Well, right now I could loose a few pounds, but still my coat is so fluffy it is hard to tell.

A bit about me: I am a mix of I think St. Bernard and maybe a bit of collie. That explains my fluffy coat, but not really my golden color. Maybe there is some Golden Retriever in me somewhere??? Anyway, I am about 3.5 years old and 1.5 yrs ago I had a repair to my ACL. That is one reason for me to be maybe just a couple lbs thinner than normal. I love going on walks, playing with balls and toys, getting a car rides, or just hanging at home. I do enjoy giving and getting affection. I may not be a snuggle bug tho. I have been in a couple of homes and am pretty good at supporting my family when someone is a bit down or is having trouble. I try not to get in your face, but sometimes it needs to be done!

Kim said she will make sure I am UTD on vaccines. And I am also spayed, crate trained (I really never need it), housebroken, great with other dogs. I just ignore them if they are pesky. I like kids that are great around dogs and I do tolerate those that are not, but they do test any dogs' patience!. Oh, I am used to a doggy door as well. I like to sleep in a bed next to you on the floor, and have learned I like sitting on a couch . Since my coat is so thick, it can get matted easily if I am not brushed often. I am patient and like being brushed when I don't have mats, they hurt!

I think I would like a home with other dogs, they are fun to play with. But if I am an only dog that is ok too. Like I said kids are fine, but please don't let them pull my ears or tail or tease me. Even if they do, I will just walk away and learn to ignore them. I don't bite or growl. A lady behaves better. I do have some experience in being trained for ESA or service dog, but was just getting started before my ACL went out. So it has been a while.

I am currently in Rudyard, but might be able to make a trip to Great Falls with mom and dad if we are headed there. I hope you are my new person or people. See ya soon!

UPDATE: Tara has found a new home where she is happy to be with the other dogs on the farm.  Running and taking care of things makes her happy!


Hi, and my name is now Tara. It used to be Penny, but I like and answered to Tara. Kim needs to change some of my info and thought I could tell you about myself the best.

Well, I am a smaller mastiff! I am only about 70#. I have a very silky brindle coat and eyes that like to keep track of you. I know basic commands, shake with both paws and (don't tell Kim) I have a few tricks up my sleeve too. I'm a young 4 to 6 yrs and not only am I super people friendly and like other dogs with proper intro. I do like to be a bit bossy. I am crate and loose leash trained as well as follow voice command well off leash. I am so happy when I meet people I do a growl sound while wagging my tail and want to lick you lots. I am also good with farm animals. Kid friendly and of course housebroken. I like being outside during the day in nice weather. So if you are looking for a cuddly friend, I'm the girl for you!

HI EVERYBODY!!!!

UPDATE: I HAVE BEEN ADOPTED!

My name is Natasha and I am 8 weeks old so I don't know much of the world. I know my mom and dad and that my siblings are gone now. I heard they were adopted, and I need to be adopted too. I asked my dad what that meant and he said it means that someone will come and take me to their house to be their dog. They will love me, feed me good things and make sure I am safe. I also got told I will be vaccinated, which means shots to protect me from nasty germs and diseases that can make me very sick. Whew! that was a lot to learn at one time.
But let me tell you about me. I live in Montana and saw my first snow. It was fun to run in but cold. Dad said my paws would get more furry maybe and protect me from the cold. My dog daddy is a mix of German Shepherd and Great Pyrenees, but is not big. My mom is Border Collie and Pit Bull mix. I think look more like me, but I put their pic on here and will let you decide. I am told I am a typical puppy, all energy that does not where to go or what to do, so I get told NO a lot. I am learning that means to stop what I am doing. But I get right back in trouble again when I do something else. I need someone to help me learn how to be a good dog, to sit, stay, come when called, to leave it and to get out (but why would I need to get out anything except trouble.??? I am told I am very cute and even cuter when I am sleeping on my space.
I would love to have some kids to play with, maybe that will help me a good girl as I would play with them and take a nap when done.
There will be some things that will go with me so I feel less scared at my new home.

Please look at my pictures , mom and dad are the last one, and see how cute and loving I am. I can hardly wait to start a new life with someone soon!
