Rescue

We here at Askin Canine Training run a canine rescue as well. Saving from kill shelters and rehoming for owners who can no longer care for their dog. All of our dogs are trained as companion animals and housetrained before we find them their forever homes. Some of our dogs that stay with their owners while we find them a home may not have the training listed above however we let you know as much about the dog that we can and give free phone advice if any behavior issues occur.

Applicants who want to adopt are screened and carefully chosen to be sure we are finding the right home for both owner and dog. Adopters will have a follow up visit scheduled at the time of adoption.

We will give advice on behavior and training to new adopters about the puppy or dog they are welcoming into thier family.

If you need to find a new home for your puppy or dog please contact us for more information. Rehoming holds a $35 fee. Puppies and dogs must be up to date on vaccinations and spayed or neutered. (If they are not this will be added to the fee). Dogs will be in a foster home environment while training and medical needs are tended to as well as temperment testing, until the puppy or dog is found his or her forever family.

We work in partnership with Canine Connections Rescue and Unchain Cumberland County. We are always in need of donations and foster homes so if you can be of help please contact us.

REMEMBER TO WALK YOUR DOGS EVERY DAY AT LEAST ONE HOUR. LACK OF EXCERSIZE CAN RESULT IN BAD BEHAVIOR

HAPPY ENDINGS!

Miley is now a 1 year old german shepherd. She joined Christina in June of 2008. She was in the animal shelter at Robeson County and her time was ticking down to be euthanized in the very inhumane way of the gas chamber.

She was only 3 months old. One of six dogs in the same kennel. She was only available for adoption from June 8- June 10. The shelter is over crowded and gets dogs in everyday. Christina was able to meet with one of the employees of the shelter after hours and take Miley, and save her life.

Miley's health was poor and she was underweight. She had fleas and ticks covering her. She also tested positive for hook worm, round worm, and tape worm.

She wouldn't eat or drink. She had never been on a leash or even seen grass before. Everything was new and scary for her.

An emergency visit to the Cumberland County Animal Hospital got her all the medication she needed and then two weeks of prescription food fed by syringe and watering the same way. She was healthy again. She put on weight very quickly. Soon she was a normal puppy with lots of energy and a desire to learn.She took to training quickly and has been a well behaved canine ever since. Her favorite thing is dog walks and running everyday. She loves the walks with other dogs off leash and walking with her backpack or pulling the kids in a cart. Christina was so happy to be able to save her from the gas chamber.

Miley went through a lot of training and has been adopted into a great family. She even showed them what a great guard dog she could be barely 2 weeks after they adopted her. Two men tried to break into their apartment while Lauren was home alone with their daughter. Miley not only chased them out of the apartment but out of the complex and then returned home. How awesome! She has found her forever home the question is did they chose her, or did she chose them? :)

Diesel is a 9 month old black lab chow mix. He joined Christina in September of 2008. His owner could not give him everything he needed. So in doing what was best for the dog his owner began looking for the right home and happened across Christina who graciously welcomed him. He was a very shy puppy at first. He warmed up quickly and with some conditioning was able to come out of his shell and get over his fears. He has become inseperable with Miley and a great addition to the pack. He has a lot of energy and loves the dog walks off leash. His favorite thing is a belly rub! Oh and don't forget the Kong Ball.

He has been adopted and now will live out the rest of his long life on a farm with plenty of room to run and play with all the other animals. They had previously lost their black lab chow mix and thought it destiny to find diesel. May really have been a match made in Heaven!

Pal is now a 6 month jack russel terrier. He was only 6 weeks when he joined Christina in Jan 2009. Very skinny and full of worms. A few vet visits and bottle feeding along with suppliments and he grew and gained weight very quickly. He caught onto all training very fast and loves to cuddle. He was a fun and exciting little guy to have. He was adopted by a energetic young woman and her son. They have continued his training and he loves to speak and jump. (He can jump about 3 feet into the air!)

They were a great match and I am not sure who has more energy. Pal... or the owner! We jump for joy. Another happy home!
