BIO:

Update: 

Tater has absolutely bloomed in her foster home. While shy and easily startled upon arrival, she has made tremendous progress in coming out of her shell. She loves playing with her foster brother and sister. They incessantly romp and roll and cavort, and she is even the ringleader most of the time! She was very timid when she first arrived, but she now actively seeks attention and even is the first in line to be petted and loved on! She has a very sweet disposition and a tremendous personality and loves to be loved on. When you look into those deep, soulful eyes you can't help but be immediately mesmerized and drawn in by them. She cutely snores while she sleeps - it is rather humorous to hear her and she constantly makes her foster mom laugh by this :)

She is easily startled by loud noises or sudden movements, so a home without small children would probably be best. There is not a cat in her foster home, but when around them before she did ignore them. She is crate trained, and actually loves to sleep in her "den". She is working on house training. She is very food motivated, but is not aggressive or protective of her food at all. She would do best in a fenced yard. 

Tater is doing very well in her foster home.  She is still timid when she meets new people, but doesn't take long to come looking for some affection.  She is easily startled by loud noises and sudden movements, so would be happiest in a home with no small children.  When we meet children on our walks she will go to them for attention if they are petting the other dogs.  She ignores cats and gets along well with other dogs, large and small.  Tater walks well on a leash and sits and waits for her food to be set down.  She would do best with a fenced yard.  She is very well housebroken when she can go out in the yard, but is nervous about doing her business when she is on a leash.  She does use a pee pad when she can't get outside.  Tater sometimes sleeps in a dog bed and sometimes likes to get up on the big bed.  It doesn't take long to earn her trust and once you have you will have a loving and devoted friend.  If you are looking for a little sweet tater to add to your family, look no further!

We will not adopt into the state of  CT or MA due to strict laws regarding importation of dogs into those states. If you have an issue with this you need to take this up with your legislatures. We are working hard to get approved to bring dogs into the state of NH and until that happens we can not adopt to anyone in that state either.

If you have questions about this dog please feel free to contact the foster home at the email address listed above.  They have the most up-to-date information concerning the dog and would be happy to answer any questions about the animal. 

We welcome out of state and Canadian adoptions, but we will not ship any dog via cargo. You will have to make arrangements to pick up the dog or for them to go by ground transport. If you choose transporting by either volunteers through our organization or by paid transporter, there will be an additional $35 Fee added for the required Health Certificate. 

We will not adopt into the state of CT, RI or MA due to strict laws regarding importation of dogs into those states. If you have an issue with this you need to take this up with your legislatures.

We are now approved to adopt/foster in the state of NH but adopters will have to pay health certificate fee of 35.00 once to get the dog to our quarantine facility and another 35.00 fee to get the dog out of quarantine after two days.

To understand the adoption process through AADR please visit the Adoption Information.  Transportation options are outlined on that page in Step 3.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN A RESCUE.

Please don't let the distance stand in your way of finding your newest best friend. We have volunteers that will help your "new friend" get up and down the East Coast or up and down the West Coast. We just can't get them from one Coast to the other but some day we hope to have enough volunteers to do that as well for now please look for dogs on your coast.
