Ella-ADOPTED!!!

Sadly, Miss Ella wasn't treated the best in her past life. Ella was used as a breeder bitch and severely neglected before being abandoned in West Virgina. A plea was sent out to help get this deserving lady out of the shelter and guess who stepped up to the challenge? Yup, Saintly Bernards Rescue. Saintly Bernards Rescue really focuses on the saints that need our help the most and don't have anywhere else to turn.

When Ella arrived at my house with the Saintly Crew she was SKIN and BONES. Ella was emaciated to the point of SCARY. The first time I walked her, the neighbors turned their heads. Women at the dog park began to cry when they heard her story. BUT, her big eyes were filled with hope and LOVE. What more can you ask for from your future best friend????

 

BUT, guess what? That was her old life. Her new life consists of lots of loving, warm meals, a couch to snuggle on, daily walks and even dog park romps with fellow foster sisters and brothers. Ella may have had a dismal past, but as in true Saint style- she holds NO grudge. She only looks forward and WILL never look back.

Ella has become best buddies with my senior Saint Bernard, McKenzie. She looks up to her and relies on her for a head rest most evenings. She has also become a HUGE fan of my husband. She flocks to kids with lots of big, slobbery, wet kisses and greets neighborhood dogs with open arms (or paws!). She loves all dogs, cats, people and FOOD! Her favorite you ask? Well Ella loves NILLA cookies- preferably with vanilla soft serve!

Ella is ready for her journey into retirement. She looks forward to lots of air conditioning in the summer and a warm fireplace in the winter. She looks forward to canine companions to make her feel comfortable. She looks forward to the town children giving her hugs. Ella looks forward to endless love and compassion and a few good meals wouldn't hurt either!







Saintly Bernards has stepped up to give this lady a second chance! BUT, like many other senior Saint Bernards, the vet bills have run VERY high! Would you consider donating to Saintly Bernards Rescue so they can continue to rehabilitate these deserving dogs?

Josie-Adopted!!

Meet the EVER so sweet and kind Miss Josie. Unfortunately, Josie became a victim of the hard economic time. LUCKILY, she holds NO grudge. She is eager to please and even more eager to find a loving and committed forever home. 

Josie is a STUNNING 6 month old Saint Bernard who has a beautiful smooth coat. She is laid back and calm- although she loves her walks and dog park romps! She loves to play catch in the yard or goof around with her Saint foster brother, Quincy. Josie also enjoys mammoth bones and cuddling up with her companions.

Josie knows how to eat on the down like a lady! She also knows the commands sit, down, stay, leave it, quiet and enough. For a young puppy- she is proving to be an ambassador for the breed. THE reason people adore Saint Bernards is because of pups like her!

This Lovely Gal is fully vetted (including spayed, UTD on shots, on monthly preventatives) and trained! This super social love bug enjoys the company of ALL people, ALL dogs and ALL animals. She would love to find a home with a canine companion to keep her company and help her blossom into a confident Saint Bernard.

Every day with Josie- I look for opportunities to work on her. BUT, she always seems to surprise me. She is calm, laid back, responsive, submissive, cuddly and overall a big ball of love.

Tuli at Belmar, NJ beach

So, we have now had Tuli for about a month. All that hard work- PAID OFF! Tuli is house trained, super social, beyond sweet, knows basic commands, walk nicely on a leash, only chews her toys and is a little slice of heaven. She has had adventures to the mountains  and to the beach. She is adaptable to new environments and trusts life. She has blossomed into a stunning and fabulous young lady!!

BUT, this does not diminish the ground work that is needed for a puppy. Establishing rules is so important. Finding the right schedule. Pushing your puppy to always be better. This is ongoing. Although it is imperative to help her blossom young, you must continue to see improvement and grow. Saint Bernards are working dogs and LIKE to work. Tuli likes to carry a toy, a stick or a pine cone in her mouth during her walks. She walks proud as if she is making the biggest difference in the world. She is a WORKING dog and LOVES to work. She loves to please and hates to disapoint.

Tulip and her flowers!

Tuli is gentle and kind, but still full of energy. After a night in the crate, she is wound up like an 8 day clock. She enjoys her morning walks, where she works for her food. When she gets home she lays down and waits patiently for her reward! She eats slow and gentle. Typicaly after her breakfast routine, she loves to take a nap, while foster mom gets ready! Then a potty break. Some play time in the yard. And back to puppy naps. Same routine for lunch and for dinner!! What a day! Also, throw in some dog park romps and bone chewing time! It is not an easy schedule, but it works. She passes out at bed time fulfilled!

LOVES the dog park!!

As Tuli begins her journey through life, we know that we helped set her up for SUCCESS! My husband, my crew and I have been consistent and know that she going to be an amazing Saint in this world! Welcome Miss Tulip, future Saint Bernard Ambassador!

She loves leash walks and dog park romps. She has quickly learned how to sit, how to lay down and how to come. She eats gracefully on the down like a good Saint Bernard!
