2006 Adoptions

Bear: I just celebrated my 2nd birthday! Unfortunately, my owners can no longer keep me due to an illness in the family and I must find a new home. I am good with other dogs and children. I am a beautiful girl, almost all white in color, except my face and some patches of brown. I am a real sweetheart! 12/31/2006

Jethro: I used to be a house dog then one day my dad took me to his work and left me there. He said it was my new home. I lived outside with a bunch of scary semi trucks and loud noises. I had nowhere to hide so I ran away. Everytime I ended up in the shelter, my dad brought me back to work and never to my warm couch in my old house. This time when I ran away, he never came to pick me up. Now I am sleeping in a warm house again but still long for a forever home. I’m a sweet 6 year old that loves belly rubs, other dogs, older children, and cats. Could you give me a warm spot to retire? 12/31/2006

Albert: I am a really sweet boy who came to rescue after my owners had to move and could not take me with. My foster mom calls me “Fat Albert” since my previous owners fed me a little too much! Although I am a tall, large Saint, I am a bit overweight and I am on a special diet. My new owner would have to be dedicated to my continued weight loss. I am three years old and just a lover! I love other dogs, children, and I am good with cats. I love to play and go for walks. I love to cuddle so be prepared to be loved! 12/31/2006

Princess: My owners gave me up to an Illinois shelter when they could no longer care for me properly. I had a severe skin infection and ear infection and was very under weight. I am gaining weight everyday and my skin is healing. I am good with other dogs, cats, and children. I am a very sweet, petite, 2 year old that would really like a forever home where I can live a healthier, happier life! 12/31/2006

CLARENCE: Meet CLARENCE. He’s a wonderful boy for whom the term “gentle giant” was invented. A laid-back, docile, friendly, affectionate fellow, three-year-old Clarence loves nothing more than to be with his people. He’s a roughcoat (longhair) who is neutered, vaccinated, heartworm-negative and housetrained. He came to Saint Rescue in pretty awful condition — thin, dirty, matted, with a bad case of kennel cough and a horrible infection in both ears. Noting his thickened ear flaps and narrowed ear canals it’s apparent that he has suffered chronic ear infections through much of his young life. But he has responded well to his current treatment regimen and if he could “speak human” he would tell you that already his ears are feeling better. He has gained some weight and needs another 10-15 pounds. Clarence has had some obedience training. He’s great on a leash and knows several commands. He does well with most female dogs and doesn’t seem to mind cats. He would like a family with children. A fenced yard is preferred though is not essential. We would like him to have a family with a stay-at-home mom (or dad) as he doesn’t like to be alone much. Is he the Saint of your dreams? 12/31/2006

Jasmine: she is a 2 1/2 year old very sweet full of energy little rough coated female. She is great with kids and adults. She could use more obedience but she would really like to be the only 4 legged friend in the house. She love to play and run in the back yard and loves to go for rides. She is a very dominate female so she can not be around other dogs or small animals. 12/28/2006

Sonya: is about 10 months old and is very sweet. She is a plush coat and is going to be sorta small. She is tricolor but mostly brown. She does have the black mask.

She is very loving and good with kids. 12/28/2006

Sammy: is a very sweet very large boy that needs to have a family that is aware of saint and their size. He is currently 176# and needs to put on a little more weight. He is good with other dogs and loves people. Needs to be with older kids because he does not realize how big he is.

He has alot of energy and definitely needs a playmate. He needs some socialization and lots of TLC. Would love to be your new couch potato. 12/23/2006

BANDIT: is a 9 month old neutered longhaired male. He is very sweet and calm for a puppy of his age group. He is housebroken and gets along with other dogs, as well as older children. His gentle disposition and willingness to learn makes him a great addition to a new family. Bandit is DEAF from birth…he is very confident, willing to learn and does not startle easily. He will need to go home with at least another dog who can show him the ropes. He loves people and knows some hand signals. As he is a puppy, he will need some training and loves to play “chase the kitty” ..so a home without cats would be preferable. He is in a foster home with cats and loves them when they are still, but wants to chase when they run…to a cat this can be pretty scary! Bandit will make a wonderful addition in his new and understanding family…he is a special boy who does not know that he is different! 12/23/2006

LOLA 3: Allow us to introduce LOLA 3. Just 13 months old and quite the cutie, Lola is a roughcoat (longhaired) female who would like her own family. She’s vaccinated, HW-negative and housetrained. She plays well with most other dogs and we’re told that she’s okay with cats. Lola’s a playful girl who has been with kids as young as toddler age. She is spayed and has had corrective eye surgery. Additionally, we had her stomach tacked so she cannot develop gastric dilatation/volvulus (commonly called bloat), a condition to which Saints and other deep-chested giant breeds are prone.” She’s a pleasant, friendly girl who will need a refresher course in obedience as she pulls a bit on her leash but she genuinely wants to please. We’d strongly prefer a fenced yard for Lola. Think she might be the Saint for you? 12/20/2006

Lucy: sweet, loving 2 1/2 year old female St. Bernard who needs someone to give her some extra TLC to adjust to a new home. She gets along with other dogs and is gentle around children. She is timid at first and needs a family with the love and patience to give her time to gain her confidence and feel wanted in a new, caring home. She came into Rescue as an owner turn-in with her mother, Mindy, who has been placed in a home and doing great. Now, its Lucy’s turn! Spayed, shots, microchip 12/13/2006

Brandy: Buddy: is about 6 yrs young currently & her son is about 4 yrs. They are super dogs, easy to walk (Buddy could use a little work!), very gentle & so loving. The only thing is Buddy is so attached to his mother we found out he HAS to be adopted with her. They follow each other’s every move, sleep together, eat together & play together. They had lived in a home with cats & children & other dogs. They are housebroken and their last home had an underground fence for them which they learned quickly. They are very large dogs being 160# (as if you ever find a small St Bernard though!) and will be a great addition as long as the family loves giant teddy bears & can put up with some St Bernard drool….which they don’t have as much of as some we’ve seen, but still slobber when they shake their heads! The do require quite a bit of brushing as they have gorgeous thick coats that will shed 12/12/2006

She has the SOFTEST fur and gives great kisses. Mandy will need a fenced yard and an owner who is willing to complete obedience training with her. The successful applicant will have children over age 8. Got room on your lap for a cuddle-bug? 12/10/2006

Roxy: Please say hello to your new best friend – Roxy the St. Bernard! Roxy’s original owner had to move overseas and was given to a friend. Unfortunately, her new owner was unable to give her the proper care and attention she needed. Roxy is just over 1 year old and as sweet as can be. She is a little underweight right now, likely due to her previous living situation. She is potty trained and knows basic obedience (i.e., sit, stay, no). As an added bonus, Roxy does not seem to drool like other St. Bernard’s! Due to her extremely sweet disposition, we believe that Roxy would do well with children. We do know that Roxy enjoys the company of other dogs, as she plays all day with our Airedale. She is a little curious about cats, but in a non-aggressive way. Sometimes she does like to chase our cat just to have some fun. But, she will stop in her tracks if you say no. She is truly one of the sweetest, most affectionate dogs we have ever known. She is also spayed and up to date on her shots. If you have any questions or want to make Roxy your “forever friend” 12/2/2006

Sassy: Sassy is a BEAUTIFUL mahogany Rough Coat Female Saint Bernard. She 4yrs old and weighs about 130lbs. She’s spayed, up-to-date on shots, started on preventative medicine, crate trained, potty trained, and obedience trained. Sassy is the sweetest, loveable and obedient Saint we have ever worked with. She is eager to please and always looking for praise from her owner. She had a rough start. She was used as a breeding dog for 3 years and then dumped at a local shelter. She was completely malnourished and caring 4 babies. She was able to deliver and care for her 4 babies for 8 weeks. She was a wonderful mother and helped prepare them for the real world. She is now searching for a forever home of her own. Due to the breeding environment, she was not well socialized and she is extremely fearful of other animals. With simple correction, she will focus on her owner instead of the other animal. She needs to live in a home without other pets so that she can get all of the attention. MUST have Large Breed Experience! For more information, please contact Jamie Byrnes. 11/30/2006

HOLLY: OLLIE: POLLY: and WALLY: Meet the quartet — two girls and two boys: HOLLY, OLLIE, POLLY, and WALLY came into Saint Rescue following their owner’s death. Unfortunately, there were no family members who had the room to take in four Saints. They’re all roughcoats who are vaccinated, HW-negative, and housetrained. Holly’s spayed; Ollie’s neutered. Polly and Wally are scheduled to be snipped in the next couple of weeks. Holly and Wally are one year old. Polly’s two. Ollie’s three. We’re told that they all had the same mother but not the same father. They have lots of puppy energy and they play hard. (Sometimes it’s exhausting just watching them as they romp in the yard together) They don’t have a mean bone in their bodies. They don’t have to be placed together but each would do well with another dog in the family, and they think it’s great fun to play-chase cats. They’ll do fine with children, though they’ll probably knock over a toddler as they frolic. A fenced yard is strongly preferred. Saint experience would be a plus. 11/28/2006

Lilly: is a 2 you spayed female rough coat. Her owners turned her in because they had more dogs than they could care for. 11/27/2006

Sammy: is a 9 mo old St puppy that was at a pet sitter but the owner didn’t want him anymore and the pet sitter already had 2 dogs , 2 cats and kids of her own so she couldn’t keep him.

Lola: 18 month old female. Smooth coat. Came to rescue from a shelter. She is a high energy dog who likes hiking and swimming. She has a high prey drive so a no cat home is a must.

He wants to be and is the ALFA Dog. He lived in a home with cats and small dogs, but doesn’t like new ones invading his territory. He is very affectionate and loves children!! Cujo wants nothing more than to have a family to love him. Do you have the home for me? UPDATE 1/17/2006; Cujo is still available. His sister has been adopted, but Cujo is patiently waiting. This boy is great!! Fill out an on-line application to be considered for this boy. 11/22/2006

LYLA: Sweet Lyla just celebrated her third birthday. She’s a smoothcoat Saint who is spayed, vaccinated, heartworm-negative, and housetrained. An exceedingly affectionate little lass, Lyla has perfected the art of being a shadow — Where you go, she goes. She does well with most other dogs and is reported to be fine with cats but she definitely prefers the company of humans. She’s quite gentle with children as young as age 4. She’s a leaner and a kisser. She’s working on perfecting her obedience skills and would dearly love to be part of a family. Lyla has spent far too many lonely hours by herself and she deserves better. The perfect family will include children, and she’d like a stay-at-home mom (or dad) so she won’t have to be alone. We’d like her to have a fenced yard. 11/20/2006

BEETHOVEN 4: Two years old and a big boy, BEETHOVEN 4 is looking for a new family due to his human mom’s pregnancy. He’s a smoothcoat (shorthaired) fellow who is closing in on 200 pounds. That’s a LOT of dog! Beethoven is neutered, HW-negative, vaccinated, and housetrained. He’s originally from a reputable local breeder who produces sound, healthy dogs. He does pretty well with most other dogs, though he doesn’t seem to be aware of his size; but he doesn’t like cats. He loves swimming, riding in the car, and peanut butter. Somewhat on the timid side, his dislikes include the vacuum cleaner and the lawnmower, and he hates going outside in the rain. Beethoven will need a Saint-experienced owner with a firm but loving hand who will help him develop good leash manners. A fenced yard will be necessary, as will successful completion of formal obedience lessons. We’d recommend older children only or no children. 11/20/2006

Mindy: Very sweet, loving 2 1/2 year old female St. Bernard. Mindy is a happy girl who gets along with other dogs and adores belly rubs! She came into Rescue as an Owner Turn-in because the family could no longer take care of her. Spayed, shots, microchip 11/20/2006

Bailey: this adorable one year old female smoothcoat is an owner turn-in from Caliente, NV. Bailey is loving and sweet, good with people and children. She gets along with other dogs, she is just a bit protective of her food with other dogs. 11/20/2006

Barney: Is a 1 1/2 yr old longhaired male saint. He came in with his brother Fred. Very sweet boy who wants a forever home to call his own. Loves giving kisses and being petted. He is also good with other dogs and kids. 11/19/2006

Sadie: is a gorgeous pure bred Saint Bernard. She is three years old. Her family loves her very much and has taken good care of her. Due to personal circumstances, they are looking for a new home. She will only be adopted to a fantastic home where she will be welcomed in as part of the family. Sadie has graduated from obedience school. She is a good girl with a great heart. She can get a little enthusiastic and will need help learning to keep her front paws on the ground when she greets you! Sadie currently lives with three other dogs and two cats. She does well, but tends to try to hog the attention (very typical for many Saints). She is what we call a “Velcro Dog”. She wants to be as close as possible to you and truly wants to be a lap dog! Although she is on the small side for a Saint (a little under 100 pounds), she is a big girl. A home with large breed experience would be ideal. If you do not have large breed experience, please do your homework and research this wonderful breed. Go ahead and ask questions too. Sadie is spayed, up to date on shots, HW negative, and healthy. She lives in Huntsville, Alabama. 11/13/2006

Kramer: is about 9 months old he was found as a stray. He is good with other dogs. For a puppy he is very laid back. He loves people is happy to just be in your lap.

A fenced in yard is required. 11/9/2006

She’s not yet completely housetrained, though she does try. Tia thinks all the toys in the world are hers and all the attention in the world should be hers as well. She has a slightly deformed ear flap resulting from getting too close to a wood stove when she was only a few weeks old. Tia is a delightful baby with lots of puppy energy.

Guido: This 11 month old boy came to us after his owner gave him up to an Illinois shelter. They purchased Guido as a cute little puppy but he soon grew up. Not realizing that Saints get very large and they need training, Guido soon had no manners. With the help of ISBR, Guido is learning to be a “big boy” now and is learning new rules everyday! He is crate trained and house trained. He is great with other dogs and cats. He would do well in house with older children as he has a tendency to not know his own size. He loves to play ball and with toys. He is a real sweetheart! 10/30/2006

Bubbles: This sweet 5 month old little girl came to us after her owner’s abandoned her at an animal hospital when she was ill. The animal hospital nursed Bubbles back to health and helped her find her way to ISBR. She is a very sweet girl but since she spent her first months without any training she is a little behind. She is good on a leash and is learning everyday. She is crate trained and almost housebroken. She is great with other dogs and cats. She would do best with children over 10 years old. 10/30/2006

CHIEF: Meet 10-month-old roughcoat CHIEF. He’s a handsome dude who’s got the longest legs!! Recently neutered, he’s vaccinated, HW-negative, and housetrained. Though he has lived with young children he’s a bit of a bull in a china shop so we’d prefer a family with children over age 10. Chief has limited exposure to other dogs so he would likely do best as the family’s only dog. He’s not been exposed to cats; however, he played nicely with a bunny in his original home. He especially likes riding in the car and carrying around a stick. He’s a sensitive boy who doesn’t like raised voices. And the big baby’s afraid of the vacuum cleaner. The successful applicant will have a fenced yard and will be committed to successfully completing obedience training with Chief. 10/28/2006

Brewster: My name is Brewster in front of my foster Home. It’s much nicer here than in the shelter I came from, even tho the shelter was better than being out in the cold by myself all the time. I like to play with my foster sister and romp in the yard with her, and then I come in and rest my bones. I also have toys to play with and bones to chew on and even a soft bed to lay on! There must be something different about me because I have funny looking elbows and my mom gives me special food and “treats” everyday. She keeps saying it’s too bad that I have arthritis at such a young age. Do you have room in your heart to give me a forever home? 10/26/2006

HUMPHREY: This good-looking chap just turned three years old. He’s a roughcoat (longhaired) boy whose main claim to fame is that he’s a big love-sponge. His family recently moved to Florida and decided not to take him south with them. (Big mistake ’cause he’s a darling.) The only thing he likes better than being hugged is the occasional Egg McMuffin. Humphrey’s vaccinated and negative for heartworm. He’s neutered and housetrained. He’s recovering from a pesky urinary tract infection and will soon be ready to interview families. He’d like to be the family’s only pet (after all, why share the love if you don’t have to?), and will need a family with Saint experience, a fenced yard, and children over 8 or 9 years.

NEMO 2: is a smoothcoat (shorthaired) 18-month-old boy who is neutered, vaccinated, and negative for HW. He’s a high-energy youngster with lots of puppy enthusiasm. His favorite things are playing with a football, a rope toy, and his human. In fact, he’s quite insistent when he wants to play with his human; he’ll whack you with his giant paw to engage you, and won’t take no for an answer. Nemo does well with other dogs and also with cats. But he’s slow to warm up to new people and new situations so we’ll be looking for a patient Saint-experienced family willing to continue the socialization process we’ve begun with him. Successful completion of formal obedience training will be a requirement of his contract. If you have a fenced yard and children age 12 or older, let’s talk about Nemo. He’s a wonderful boy with lots of potential. 10/7/2006

Sadie: This darling girl is 8 years old and was surrendered to our Rescue by her family because they were in “transition” moving out of state and said they couldn’t take her along.

She came to us when her owner required orthopedic surgery and didn’t feel he could adequately care for her during his extended rehab period. Bailey would like a family with children on whom she can bestow kisses. She’d probably do best as the family’s only dog; she is reported to play nicely with cats. We’d prefer a fenced yard for Bailey. And Saint experience would be a plus. 7/31/2006

Marilyn: Marilyn was among many Saints rescued from a bad situation. With the help of dedicated rescuers from around the United States, all of the Saints were placed safely in Saint Bernard Rescue Groups. The life of these dogs was not a glamorous one. Before they were rescued, these dogs lived in very small, dirty pens. For 18 months they grew up here never seeing the sun, moon, grass, snow, or rain. They have never had a bath or have been brushed. They have never wore a collar or walked on a leash. They have never known love or a belly rub. Now with the help of ISBR, this lovely lady will have a chance at a new life. We have found that she is good with other dogs. We would not recommend her to families with small children under 5 years but older children would be good. Update: This sweet girl has sure come along way in just a couple of months. Although she is still pretty shy with new people, she is just a lover! She loves other dogs especially. She has been attending adoption events and is socializing better each time. She’ll even sneak a kiss here and there to a stranger. She still needs some work but would love a chance at a new life.

So some lady took me in, but then she didn’t like my hair and shaved it all off! It’s slowly growing back in, but my foster mom and dad don’t know what it’s going to look like when it’s fully in, so I guess it will be a surprise!!! I love to play with my foster brother Cody and at the dog park with my foster sister Chuckie, but sometimes I like to pick fights with other dogs when I meet them, especially if there a bigger dog. But once I get to know them, I love to play with them! I’m scared of fireworks and other loud noises, but I feel safe if I’m in my home. I don’t always have the best manners, and my foster mom and dad are trying to teach me, but I should probably go to obedience classes with my forever family.

Chester would make a great addition to his new family. 8/22/2006

Riley: is a 3 yr old male saint. He is very good with people and older kids. He’s a very happy boy and is house trained. He wants a permanent family to call his own. Not sure if he is good with other dogs. 8/22/2006

Ashley: Gigi: These 3 sisters came to us after they were among many Saints rescued from a bad situation. With the help of dedicated rescuers from around the United States, all of the Saints were placed safely in Saint Bernard Rescue Groups. The life of these dogs was not a glamorous one. Before they were rescued, these dogs lived in very small, dirty pens. For 18 months they grew up here never seeing the sun, moon, grass, snow, or rain. They have never had a bath or have been brushed. They have never wore a collar or walked on a leash. They have never known love or a belly rub. Now with the help of ISBR, these three lovely ladies will have a chance at a new life. We have found that they are pretty good with other dogs and Ashley has even met cats. We would not recommend them to families with small children but older children would be good. Update: These girls have come along way in just a couple of months. Although they are still pretty shy with new people, they are just lovers! They love other dogs especially. They have been attending adoption events and are socializing better each time. They’ll even sneak a kiss here and there to a stranger. They still need some work but would love a chance at a new life. You’ll have to have some patience but in the end, they’re gonna make someone a really nice dog! They would still do better in a house with children older than 5 years since some of these little ones scare them. They really like car rides and boy! they sure love toys!!! 8/20/2006

Rowdy: Rowdy is a 2 year old rough coat Saint Bernard. He’s housetrained, GREAT with kids and other dogs but HATES CATS! Rowdy is neutered, fully vaccinated, on heartworm and flea/tick preventative as well as microchipped. 8/19/2006

Emma: Female, longhair, 1 1/2 years old, spayed Saint Bernard. She is current on shots, heartworm negative, her background is unknown since she was a stray. She is Princess Emma and LOVE people, plus she seems to have no problems with other dogs. Princess Emma is so sweet and just wants to be loved. Housebroke and has limited obedience training. 8/17/2006

Amy: Very sweet 2 1/2 year old St. Bernard. Amy was hit by a car as a pup and damaged her left hind leg. The leg did not grow properly and most of the time she gets around on three legs. This does not slow her down, but she will need a warm place-possibly a heated bed-to sleep on in the winter as the cold can cause discomfort. She is housebroken and has pretty good house manners. She is on the small side at 95 pounds. She gets along well with our two saints, but will chase the cats. 8/17/2006

Delilah: is a wonderful girl who is approximately 18 months. She has been spayed and current on her shots and heartworm preventative. Delilah was abandoned in a closed pet shop when she was a young girl. A group of wonderful people came to her aid. She was adopted, but it unfortunately didn’t work out, so she came to us here. She loves people and attention, riding in the car and going for walks. She can be a little unsure of herself when meeting new dogs. Enrolling Delilah in an obedience class would do wonders for her self-confidence and bonding with her new family. Do you have a special place in your home and heart to allow Delilah to bloom? 8/16/2006

JINGLES: is temporarily unavailable. Sadly she tested positive for heartworms. She will begin treatment March 29, 2006. Upon successful treatment of this avoidable condition, she will again be available. She weighed 108.9 pounds on her recent visit to the vet on March 23. 8/16/2006

Maxxxie: Meet Maxxxie (yup, that’s how he spells his name). He’s a middle-aged dude who still has years of cuddling to bestow on some lucky family. Maxxxie is vaccinated, heartworm-negative, neutered and housetrained. He’s great with children and with other dogs, though little dogs make him a bit nervous when they’re out of his line of sight (like under his big ole tummy). Among his favorite things are riding in the car, sliced turkey, and his stuffied Odie dog. Max could stand to drop a few pounds (couldn’t we all?) He comes into Rescue as a casualty of divorce and is a gem. We’d like a fenced yard for the big guy. And your lap had better be big ’cause that’s where he likes to be. Got room for him? 8/13/2006

miss bea: she’s all up to date on all her shots. She was spayed when she was very young….5 months. As for a little about her. She weighs approx. 120lbs, she has the stately st bernard eyes, a healthy appetite, a very intelligent girl, with a super personality! She loves to be brushed and vacuumed. Has never gone to bathroom in our house!! 8/7/2006

Orlando: a 1.5 yo neutered male smooth coat, is a great dog. He had a rough start in life. He was abandoned by Hispanic owners in a trailer park and spent some time on his own until befriended by the kind man that brought him to us. We are working on the language barrier and he pretty much understands not to chase the cats nor get bread off the counter or help himself to the trash cans. “No” works well. He loves being brushed and petted. Maxine, our resident old girl, gives him many tips on being a good dog. He seems to understand her instructive barks quite well. He’ll do very well in a home where he can share his love w/ someone willing to let him develop into the wonderful dog he’ll be. 8/6/2006

Morgan: 4 year old male. Rough coat. Came to rescue when his previous owners had a new baby and didn’t have time for him anymore. He is house trained, obedience trained and crate trained. He walks well on a leash, rides well in the car & loves to give kisses while he gets pets. Morgan has earned his AKC good citizen award and is not destructive in the house. He does good with other dogs but gets excited when meeting new dogs. He would do best in a home where he can be the top male dog and where he can hog attention. 8/6/2006

Simba was born blind, but has amazing other senses that have taken over and he can do stairs like a sighted dog, walk on leash. He loves to play with other animals and deserves a VERY special forever home. 8/5/2006

PENELOPE: This little darling is 16-month-old Penelope. She’s incredibly sweet and gentle and desperately needs a mom and dad. As you can see from her picture she’s quite thin. Additionally she’s recovering from a nasty case of pneumonia, but soon she’ll be feeling well enough for visitors. Penny is spayed, vaccinated, and HW-negative. She has had a tough early life and just wants to be hugged. Whatever affection you give her is returned ten-fold. She seems fine with children and with most other dogs. We don’t know about cats but in all likelihood she’d be okay with cats. A fenced yard isn’t necessary as long as you commit to regular walks on leash. 7/31/2006

ABNER: Hi. I’m ABNER and I’m 13 months old. I’d like a home and family, please. I’m already neutered and my shots are up-to-date and I’m heartworm-negative. I’m pretty much housetrained as long as you respond when I let you know I need to go out. I bark at cats ’cause it’s fun to watch them run. I like to play with other dogs. I especially like stealing the kids’ stuffed animals. (I actually like them better than dog toys.) My foster mom’s a push-over. When she tells me to do something I sometimes ignore her but when her husband gives me a command I hop to it. Sometimes I get into trouble by stealing stuff off the kitchen counter but, hey, if you leave it out I say it’s fair game. I’ve been learning my commands and would like a family who will take me to obedience class. The one thing I haven’t yet gotten the hang of is walking nice on a leash (I tend to pull a little) but I promise to try harder to develop good leash manners if you’ll come and adopt me. I’ll need a fenced yard. A couple of kids to play with would be great but they should be over 8. I’m waiting 7/31/2006

Tasha: 3 yrs – this month. A Shorthaired female. Tasha had to be given up due to allergies in the home. She has been well taken care of and has been an inside dog.

Marge aka Grandma: is an approximately 9 yo rough coat spayed female. She was rescued from a shelter that still euthanizes by the gas chamber. The human saint that found her and brought her to me understood she may need to be put down but preferred her dying by lethal injection if necessary. She is severely emaciated, her coat in dire condition. She has bad hips, ears and eyes, but still wants to get up and go. I couldn’t kill her and am looking for a “permanent” foster home for her. She needs a comfy place to sleep and a place to call home for the rest of her life. She prefers upside down snoozing w/ her eyes open… She’s scared us a few times… Grandma are you OK??? laughs. I will post a picture when she gains some weight. She weighed in at just over 90 pounds on entry and has a frame large enough to carry at least 140 pounds comfortably. 7/31/2006

DASHER: is a 10 month old rough-coat male. He weighs in at around 110 lbs. & is still growing!!!!! Dasher is neutered, current on shots & has been heartworm tested. His previous owner bought Dasher as a puppy, but as he grew ( and grew and grew) ….the kids lost interest in taking care of him, and he ended up spending most of his time alone. Dasher loves people, dogs and any other attention that he can get!. Dasher loves to romp & play with the other dogs, but afterwards he is very content just to lie down and spend most of his day relaxing! All Dasher wants is a family that will give him all the loving attention & care that he needs. He will make a magnificent, devoted companion to the right home. We prefer he goes to a home with a nice fenced yard & kids over the age of 8 years old. Adoption fee is $350. 7/26/2006

He is housebroken & crate trained, but does not care for the crate. Harley is good with other dogs. We prefer him to go to a person with older children or no children at all. Harley is showing signs of hip dysplasia, so we are starting him on some Glucosamine & Condroitin. His dysplasia does not deter him in anyway. Harley is a VERY laid back, friendly boy. He is one of the easiest Saints to have around. Harley just needs a loving family to call his own. 7/26/2006

Currently she’s suffering from an eye infection and once the infection clears up she will need eye surgery to correct a congenital deformity (at Rescue’s expense). Bernadette will soon be ready to interview potential families. We’d prefer that she be the family’s only pet as her vision isn’t the best, and she would benefit from a peaceful environment where she can just soak up the love. She enjoys riding in the car and is a wonderful traveling companion. She would like a family with children over age 8 or 9 who will spend time hanging out with her. A fenced yard is preferred but is not essential. She’s afraid of the vacuum cleaner so if you’re not a meticulous housekeeper maybe she’s the dog for you. Bernadette has completed two obedience courses. Why don’t you let her show you how smart she is? 7/15/2006

But aren’t those the best dogs??? We may not be pure Saint Bernards but we sure have their best qualities. We love other dogs and adore people and children. We are well behaved and trained.

PRUDENCE: Meet PRUDENCE. Eight months old and full of energy, she is longhaired, spayed, vaccinated, and almost completely housetrained. Pru came VERY close to being euthanized at the kill shelter where she had ended up but got a last-minute reprieve from Maryland Saint Rescue. She made her way to New England where we’re helping her regain her health and put on some badly needed weight. Prudy wants very much to please and yearns for a family to call her own. Might that be you? She promises to love you if you’ll just give her a chance. Initially wary of strangers she quickly warms up and likes nothing better than cuddling. We’d prefer that the family have no other pets or only one other pet as Pru’s been so starved for attention and affection. She’s an active little girl who will need a fenced yard and owners who have the patience to help her “learn the ropes”. Because of her energy level, we’d prefer a family with children over 10. Successful completion of a formal obedience course will be a requirement of her adoption. 5/13/2006

BECKY: is a four year old roughcoat (longhaired) young lady who is vaccinated, spayed, HW-negative and housetrained. She is great with most other dogs and is fine with cats. She’s a love sponge who wants nothing more than to cuddle with her humans. Her previous human showed love by giving her french fries and now she needs to drop 20 pounds. (Don’t we all.) Becky pulls on the leash (probably trying to get to more fast food) so the successful applicant will be someone willing to work with her to develop good leash manners. Becky had a rough beginning, and spent her first two years chained to a fence, with very little human interaction. Despite that, she’s very willing to trust humans (though we can’t imagine why). If you’re looking for an affectionate little darling, Becky’s the dog for you. She will need a fenced yard, and successful completion of formal obedience lessons. And the family will have children over age 12. 5/13/2005

Dreyfus: was born 2-14-02 at a puppymill and sold to a pet store and then bought by a family that knew nothing about ST Bernards and when he started getting bigger they turned him into a shelter because he jumped and tried to climb on them. ( Boy, just like a puppy !) So next family that adopted him loved him until he was about 2 yrs old but they got a divorce and couldn’t take him with them, so he was adopted by another family that loved him for a couple yrs but needed to move to take care of his elderly mother who had respiratory problems so Dreyfus came back into rescue and is just as loving and playful as back in his puppy days. He loves to play with other dogs and even though he has had several families so far, he SURE deserves a FOREVER. 5/11/2006

I swear they sit at the top of the trees and tease him on purpose. He is up to date on all his shots and he really just likes to be around people he loves to be petted and just needs a home to give him all the love that he deserves. If he gets overworked by running too much he can be a little sore and needs to rest. He is a really good dog. He does not drool that much. Mostly just right after he takes a drink you should beware. He has never really been around cats. He does bark at the neighbor cats because they tease him on the other side of the fence. He loves to take walks but enjoys being inside with people. When it is too hot outside he would definitely prefer to be inside on the cool floor. He loves winter time though as long as it isn’t too cold. 5/5/2006

Kyra: She will turn five on December 26th, 2006. She weighs around 135lbs. She is neutered and housebroken. She loves adults and kids too. She gets along with the neighbor dogs as well. Her problem is she like to digs holes to go and see them and then have Chief follow her. She can be an escape artist too. She likes to climb the privacy fence or dig a hole.

Macy & Fats: These two very sweet dogs came to us after their owners moved and abandoned them in their home. Mom and pup survived by eating the remaining dog food and garbage in the home. Animal control was called to the home what is suspected to be nearly 3 weeks after abandonment. They were infested with fleas and had severe skin infections. They had been starved and were underweight. They were scalded by their own urine and feces. Today with the help of veterinary care and the dedication of the ISBR volunteers, Fats and Macy are in great health and look amazing! They are probably the two nicest Saints you will ever meet!

ROXY is a a 20-month-old purebred rough coat female, who will be spayed prior to placement. Roxy and her sister Powder were turned into rescue after their owner considered their options. You see they had originally purchased these girls from a breeder in order to breed. Then the family were faced with having to move to another location. Coupled with the realization of the responsibility that breeding would entail and the impending move, we were called to assist. Roxy has the beautiful black mask and splash coat. She is very loving and affectionate. Roxy is the more outgoing of the two and sometimes pushes her sister back so that she can get all of the attention. While it would be great to be able to place these girls together, we will consider all placements, even if it means the girls are separated. Roxy traveled well in the car and actually sat between the two front seats so she could watch and occasionally give the right side of my face kisses while driving. Roxy and Powder have lived mainly in outside, but had access to the inside. Seems they would be found lying on the back deck rather than being inside. 4/30/2006

POWDER: & Roxy: named for her white face after her owner had watched the movie “Powder.” Powder is a 20-month-old rough coat female, who will be spayed prior to placement. Powder and her sister Roxy came into rescue after their owner felt breeding them would not be a good idea after all. Not to mention the family was going to have to move and finding rental property that will allow two extra large dogs is difficult. Powder is a great girl who waits patiently while her sister hogs all of the attention. She loves the attention too. Powder and Roxy lived mainly outside with access into the house, but seemed to prefer the outdoors. Both girls traveled well in the car. 4/30/2006

KODO: is estimated to be about 2 years old. He is a rough-coat male who weighs in at around 90 lbs., & will fill out some more before he is done growing. Kodo is neutered, current on shots & has been heartworm tested. He is good with cats & other dogs. He wants attention, but will settle down quickly. Kodo came to us from a shelter in MD. He could use some leash training, but he has real good house manners. Kodo sleeps all night & is good during the day. Kodo would probably do best in a home with older children. He also really enjoys playing with dogs, so he would make a great buddy for someone who already has another dog in the household. Kodo is only interested in pleasing his family. He loves getting attention & thinks he is a lap dog! If he is the dog for your family, please contact us! 4/28/2006

Theo currently lives with another dog (a black lab) and they are great companions. Theo is a dominant male. He gets along well with smaller dogs or females. He get’s along with other male dogs as long as they are a submissive. Theo loves to go for short walks (he tires out quickly!), play tug of war, eat lots of treats, and take relaxing baths.

Penny came to a shelter with a torn ACL; surgery was performed on her limping right knee in January and she has recovered nicely. She still limps and may need medicine but she loves to run and play. Her previous owners left her alone for long periods of time, so she is very insecure and will cower and stay with you wherever you go in the house.

He will need a home with kids over 7 yrs old due to his size and activity level.

Charlie will do well in a home where the family will respect his size and energy level. He will need a fenced yard, and children over age 10 or so. Saint- or giant-breed-experience will be a definite plus. 4/6/2006

Zoey: is a 5 – 6yr old Rough Coat Female Saint Bernard. She lived indoors until the her previous owners decide to build an addition on their house. Unfortunately, at that time, they decided that there was no room for Zoey in the larger house and moved her outside. Not surprisingly, Zoey didn’t understand the move and wasn’t happy about it. A week before Christmas, Zoey’s family dropped her off at the local shelter. Her fur was badly matted, coarse and dull. After weeks of brushing, trimming/removing the mats and good quality diet, Zoey is starting to look like the beautiful saint she deserves to be. She is doing GREAT in foster care.

She is a little shy when she first meets people but once she has bonded, she is very loving.

MAGGIE #2: came to us with a foot injury that occurred when a cable became wrapped around her ankle.

BRUTUS: is a 7 year old rough-coat male. He weighs in at a mere 135 lbs. at the moment, but could use to gain at least another 30+ lbs. Brutus is current on all shots , heartworm negative & has been neutered. Brutus came to be rescued by way of a veterinarian. The owners had brought him in to be euthanized because he had belonged to the woman’s ex-boyfriend & the kids no longer paid attention to him, plus they had just gotten a new puppy. Brutus was obviously a neglect case indeed. He was filthy, kept outside on a concrete porch….which they only hosed off once a week to get rid of the feces. Brutus was skin & bones & could barely walk. He only weighed 118 lbs then. Despite his obvious neglectful history, Brutus is a very loveable & friendly boy. The vet thought that it was a very heartless decision & was quite disgusted with the owners, so she asked them to legally sign the dog over to her. She has slowly nursed him back to health over the past month or so. He obviously needs to gain more weight, but otherwise seems to be a very happy, healthy boy. Brutus is well mannered & walks very well on a leash. He has never barked & is great with the other dogs, even the small ones. Brutus seems very interested in cats, so it would be best for him to go to a home without them. He’s great with kids, men & women alike. Brutus is also house-trained. Right now, Brutus is living at the vet clinic & is receiving lots of love & attention there. If you feel that you are the family for him, please contact us immediately, so we can get Brutus into his own loving home! 3/1/2006

These two are current on all their shots, heartworm negative & have already been spayed and neutered. Chewy & Isabelle are good with other dogs & are great with people. They are a very happy, friendly pair. They both enjoy lots of attention & belly rubs too. They walk well on a leash, ride good in the car, & are already housebroken & crate trained.

Elsie: this cutie is an 18 month old female St. Bernard who was placed in August, but the family female German Shepherd wasn’t crazy about her, so Elsie is back in Rescue looking for a new loving home.

Big Red: is a two-year-old Smooth-coat, spayed female, who weighs 121 pounds, and is looking for a family of her own. She is housebroken. She does excellent on a lead and gets along well with all other animals. She has been a true joy while she has been in rescue. The humane society that called us to see if we could help absolutely adored her. The history that the humane society gave us is that she was turned in after her prior “owner” only had her for one day. Supposedly she did not get along with their two-year-old toddler. While Big Red has been a perfect lady around all children that we have met (both with rescue and the humane society), we will not place her with small children just as a precaution. Big Red is the name that she came to the shelter with. Big Red does have a leg injury that will take some time to heal. We were told that she was kicked by a horse. She has been seen and evaluated by two vets for this injury. It will heal, it is still tender at times for her, and she will probably develop arthritis in her knee (right rear) as she ages. We have started her on Glucosamine/Chondroitin to possibly ease some of those issues. Big Red is up-to-date on her shots, rabies and flea and heartworm prevention. Traveling in the car is great fun and she loves to sit with her head between the front seats and watch as we go anywhere. Going to the park for walks is great fun. If you would like to meet this wonderful girl, please contact us so that “Big Red” can check her busy social calendar!! 2/28/2006

Brutus: Hi there, me name is Brutus and here is my story. I am a 12-16 month old pure-bred rough coat Saint Bernard. I was picked up by a local animal control and my owner’s decided not to pick me up! I can’t understand why because I am a goofy guy and I have a lot of love to give. I weigh around 130# right now and could stand to gain a few more. I am very outgoing and if you find just the right spot on my chest I will thump my back leg for days! They tell me that I could use some training so Saint Rescue says that obediance classes are a must. I don’t really think that my previous owners spent too much time helping me learn, but I am sure that my next family will do just that! It seems like I like other dogs, and right now I am being fostered with a family who has livestock, horses, and other dogs both small ones and big ones, so I think I should be pretty well socialized by the time I find my forever family. I don’t think that I was really well taken care of before because they say I am matted, have ear infections, and LOTS of fleas. But not to worry, these nice people at Saint Rescue are going to take care of all of this! Won’t you be my new family? Contact Trina at Saint Rescue 1/27/2006

Chloe also has ear infections which are now being treated. Chloe does not appear to have any issues with food and depsite her rough past, seems to get along well with other dogs. Chloe likes nothing more than to curl up to you as close as she can as this likely makes her feel safe. Chloe is very submissive, she’s sweet, mellow, and thrives on attention and strokes. Chloe is also being fostered in a home with livestock and another Saint so she should be adjusted to these things prior to adoption. 1/27/2006

She isn’t crazy about other dogs; they make her a bit nervous. But she tolerates them as long as they don’t get in her face and get aggressive with her. Anya would do best in a home with calm gentle owners and lots of positive reinforcement, a securely fenced yard, kids to cuddle her and a warm spot to sleep next to her owner’s bed. She needs some retraining to work around her fears and help her have more fun. But for the most part she’s a super easy dog who is a joy to have around and impossible not to love.

BRANDY: is an 18 month old (estimated by vet) rough-coat female. She weighs in at 85 lbs. & should top out at about 100 lbs. Brandy is spayed, current on shots, & has been heartworm tested. She is housebroken & walks pretty well on a leash, unless something catches her attention, then she will pull some. We believe that Brandy will do fine with other dogs , & is good with cats. Brandy would do best in a home with a fence, because she loves to run circles in the yard! She would also do well if she had another dog, around her size, to rough-house with, because she is a hard player, & a vocal player too. Brandy is very puppyish & is also very people oriented. She is starved for affection & loves to receive belly rubs. Brandy truly believes she is a lap dog, a couch dog, & even a bed dog too! She will curl up right next to you, without a thought! Brandy knows “Sit”, but would benefit from some basic obedience training. We prefer Brandy to go to a home that does not have small children. She would probably do well with children 12 years & older, just because she likes to play rough. Brandy has a very sweet & curious personality. Could you be the home for her? 1/12/2006

She seems fine around other dogs, but we do not know how she is around cats. As part of her bonding, Jenny becomes very protective, so the entire family needs to be present when she comes home.

He is negative for heartworm and neutered. He will be updated on his shots when he is stronger. He is a gentle sole but does like to play with his foster brother St Bernard out in the yard, running. He also gets along with cats. He seems to be the “gentle giant” that made the St’s famous for that title. 1/2/2006

Sam: 4 yr old rough coated male. Picked up by animal control as a stray. He is good with other dogs but not good with cats or bunnies. He can jump a 4 ft fence so will need 6 ft privacy fencing. He is house and crate trained. He will need obedience training. 1/2/2006
