Hi, our names are Jody and Buffy! We are an American Eskimo father-daughter team here. It's very important that we be adopted into the same home, because we've been together all our lives, and we couldn't stand the idea of being separated! I, Jody (the papa dog), will do the narrating here, if that's ok with everyone. I'm about 9 years old, and Buffy is about 7.

We were owned by an elderly couple who died within a short time of each other, and so we found ourselves without a home. We were kept outdoors ALL the time and were very badly neglected. Our coats were so matted we had to be shaved down. Our fur is now starting to grow back, so hopefully we will be two white fluff balls before too long!

We are neutered and spayed, current on all our vaccinations, and are now heartworm negative. (I had a case of those nasty heartworms but got treatment for it and I'm all better now!) We're on heartworm, flea and tick preventive meds, and we're housebroken and leash-trained.

We're both starting to see a touch of spinal arthritis setting in, and I have a bit of it in one of my back legs. Our foster mommy's vet said he thought both of us had been kicked and abused in our previous home, because he saw a lot of scar tissue around my rear end area. That could definitely account for our stiffness! But we still get around just fine, though Buffy could do even better if she lost a little weight! :o)

We are VERY good dogs! We're not really the playful type (neither with each other nor with others). For the most part, we lie around all day. You know that old saying, "It's a dog's life"? Well, that's us! HeHe! Buffy and I just stay glued to each other, because when we were left unattended, all we had was each other for comfort and protection.

I am VERY affectionate once I get to know you, and though I may look sad all the time, I'm really very happy inside, now that we've been rescued. Buffy (you know, the overweight one) is also very happy and absolutely LOVES food. She even does this little dance when she sees it! Hmmmm...what am I going to do about her?

We would do fine in a home with children (well, we know we are with 12-year old kids anyway, but there aren't any younger than that at my foster mommy's house). We don't really bark very much at all--we mostly do it when our foster mommy's own dog starts barking. (We do it just to let our foster mommy know that we see or hear something she might need to check out.) We do very well with most other dogs, though we prefer them not to be aggressive towards us or get into our personal space. That isn't too much to ask for, is it?

We'd be ideal for someone who doesn't really lead an active life. We would be very content lying with you while you watch TV. Won't you adopt us into your home and give us a chance at a wonderful new life? After all our tough luck, I think we deserve that. We're waiting as patiently as we can for our new forever family--will that be you?

If you're interested in us and would like more information, please contact Wanda at: wanda@eskierescuersunited.org. Better yet, you can go to our web site at: www.eskierescuersunited.org and fill out an adoption application for us!

There is an adoption fee required, and whenever possible Eskie Rescuers United tries to adopt out its dogs locally (or at least to adopters in adjoining states to where we're being fostered here in Maryland). Please note that ERU processes LOCAL adoption applications before considering those from out of state.

To get us to you, we can do what's called an "Eskie Railroad," which is a group of volunteer drivers who will each drive a certain portion of the transport. (We always ask that you, as the adopter, help out by taking the final leg.) If we're not local to you, as explained above, and you really have your heart set on us, you may have to make special arrangements so ERU can get us to you safely (for example, flying us to you at your own expense, or paying a transport group to drive us to you).

Also, please be aware that Eskie Rescuers United will not adopt out its dogs as outdoor dogs.

Thank you and WOOF!
