| “The greatest thing about Prins is that he loves to be loved and gives it back ten fold. He has not a single aggressive bone in his body and is just a ‘happy guy’.” |
| This is Prins, a happy, loving guy who was placed in my home two years ago. He is a neutered, ten year old male that no one wanted. We don’t know much about his history except that for most of his life, he was crated all day long while living in an apartment. Thankfully, when his owners accepted they could not care for Prins, they contacted the ISAA rather than putting him in a shelter. As a result of his prior living conditions, his elbows are permanently bald and he suffers from arthritis. When he came to us, he was horribly matted, was running a fever, had a few bad teeth that had to be removed and required treatment with antibiotics. As you can see from the picture above, a little bit of love can go a long way. Under that matting, we discovered a beautiful Icelandic Sheepdog. The greatest thing about Prins is that he loves to be loved and gives it back ten fold. He has not a single aggressive bone in his body and is just a “happy guy”. Our Goal Our goal is to help ISAA Members and rescue organizations place Icelandic Sheepdogs in need of a new home in the best possible homes. We want both the dog and their new owner to be compatible so that, whenever possible, their new home is permanent. Volunteerism Opportunities If you would like to volunteer to work on the rescue committee or open your home to an ISD in need, be it temporarily or permanently, please contact me directly. I look forward to hearing from you. The Process So that we can find the best home possible, there are a few things that we need prior to starting our process: If you have an Icelandic Sheepdog that needs a new home, please read the Foster/Re-Home Guidelines and complete The Application for ISAA Re-Homing. Send them directly to me at the email address below. Both of these documents can be found by clicking on the link at the top of this page. These first steps help us decide on the best course of action in each case. Most importantly, they guide us as we find the right people to be matched with the right dog. This process can take some time, so we ask for your patience as we discover the best course of action in your individual situation. We are not a shelter. Therefore, in most cases, the dog will remain in your home until we find an appropriate solution. While we will make every reasonable attempt to place each dog; there are, of course no guarantees. However, we are committed to helping our beloved dogs whenever that is possible. Rescue Chair isaabod@gmail.com |
