Frontier Rescued Dogs

For more than 10 years we did private rescue in addition to working with North East Rottweiler Rescue. We donated large sums of money to rescue groups and provided uncountable hours of service to rescues and for the benefit of rescue dogs.

We no longer have the space to foster, but below are just a few of the dogs we have helped

Are you looking for a rescue dog?
PLEASE know the laws of your state regarding rescue groups. There are many many groups out there who go to great lengths to skirt state laws or who operate entirely in intentioal disregard for them. Make sure the group you are dealing with is operating in both an ethical manner AND is properly licensed. All the other type of groups are the main contributor in the spread of illnesses and in inappropriate placements with no screening or follow up. many of these groups will not even take dogs back if they don't work out

OK so you want to adopt a dog from a rescue here in NH

FIRST never adopt sight unseen.

Don't long distance adopt so a group can ship direct to you and avoid NH laws

Rescue groups in NH must be licensed as a shelter/rescue . They can have foster homes (for medical or behavioral reasons)that do not need to be licensed themselves as long as all adoptions are done at the licensed facility, not the foster home

Rescues that want you to adopt sight unseen and pick up at a transport drop off (usually outside of NH) is just an effort to circumvent NH laws, in particular the quarantine and inspection laws.

There is NO EXCUSE for a legitimate rescue to operate in NH without a proper shelter/rescue license!

MAKE SURE the group you deal with has a NH RESCUE/SHELTER license.

Make sure the dog is in a foster home for a period of time before you adopt it.

Make sure the dog has a current (less than 2 weeks old) health certificate issued by a NH veterinarian

There is a blog entry is making the rounds about how the "new" NH law regarding foster homes is killing shelter dogs. There is no new law, the state merely clarified the current existing rules

In contrast there are MANY properly licensed NH rescues who work hard to follow the laws and provide carefully screened adoptors with the best and healthiest dog for their home

Long distance sight unseen adoption of a dog or puppy often ends very poorly especially if you have other animals or children.

Dingo was an Australian Cattle Dog born April 20,1999.
She was bought from a pet store here in NH by some nice people after being at the store for 3 months! However, it was a perfect example of why dogs should not be bought at a pet store. She was not the breed of dog suitable for them. Dingo also proved to be too much and too rough for the established dogs. So she came here to what my husband calls the "temperament rehabilitation center" on November 11, 1999. Sadly we adopted Dingo to a great home in Dec but she ran out of their yard one day and was hit and killed by a car

Lydia was an oversized and lovely young Shiba Inu who had been running feral for some time in a residential NY neighborhood. Sadly after many months with us, the very difficult decision was made to put Lydia to sleep. She was a very feral dog who never adapted to domestic life

daisyf

Daisy was a stray pinto Shiba Inu picked up in a rural NH town. She was a very nice dog, though a bit noisey when confined. She would much rather be with people. She loved people, all people any age or size or sex! She appeared to have been a VERY well trained and cared for pet but we never were able to find her owners. Daisy was successfully adopted to a fine home

abby

Abby was a Black & tan Shiba Inu puppy born November 2001. Abby was purchased from a pet store by a nice family who loved her, but sadly the man of the house proved to be extremely allergic to her. Abby was successfully adopted to a nice home.

brassy

Brassy's former family could not keep her due to a family conflict. Her dad was a dark red APBT and her mom a fawn Shar Pei. We spayed Brassy and had her entropion fixed and she was adopted to a fabulous home.

mishu

Mishu was a 10 month old, sesame, female, Shiba Inu. Mishu became homeless when her male owner was sent overseas to Iraq in May 2004. His wife could not care for young kids and an untrained Shiba puppy. Mishu was QUICKLY adopted to a really great home!

tessa

North East's Tessa (Tessa) was a sweet petitie young lady who was born approximatly Sept 1 1999. Until Nov. 26 1999 she had never seen the outside of the basement where she was born! She had fleas and every worm known to dogs. (We got rid of all of those pests right away!)
The entire world was new to her and some of it is a bit scarey. However Tessa had a sound temperament and by the time we adopted her to her new home in January she was a perfectly normal puppy!

shannon shannonpup

North East's Shenandoah (Shannon) was found on a snowbank in a store parking lot by a man driving a snow plow in Maine. We never discovered if she was dumped by someone or somehow got "misplaced".
She was born sometime in December of 1999 and after several months with us was adopted successfully to a very experienced home.

brodybaby brody brodyfam

North East's Chief Brody (Brody) was born into rescue. His mom , Charlotte, was picked up as a stray and it soon became apparent that Charlotte was expecting! Brody was born 2/3/00 in a litter of 10. Brody was adopted in 2000 but 1 year later he was returned after he was permantly disabled in a front leg by a car accident. He was later adopted by the same family that adopted Maddie above!
