Adoption: Pickles - UPDATE Dec 2019: Adoption did not work out as planned!
Pickles did not adapt well to his new home, once again becoming a too aggressive “protector” of his new owner! Pickles is now back living the Hanna family while they try and work on this over-protective behavior. He would be best in a home with no other pets, no small children, and few if any outside visitors. Pickles would be an excellent guard dog and protector of his owner who preferably lives in a very quiet neighborhood or even better out in the country.
At this point in time, Pickles is not ready for adoption but please contact George Hanna if you believe that your home might be a good fit for him one day. (georgewhanna@msn.com). There will be no adoption fee for Pickles if the right match of home is identified for him one day.
Pickles is a delightful, well-loved 6.5 yo male Kerry who needs to find a new home. Pickles spend most of his early years living in the suburbs and recently moved from the relative quiet of the “country” to a mid-town busy condo in New York city—he did not take the transfer well! Pickles found that living in the noise and bustle of the busy city was not his preferred lifestyle: he even took to nipping at people on the elevators in his building. Because of this, his life-long owner was forced to give him up or move out of his new home.
Pickles has spent the last several months in the care of George and Tuesday Hanna in GA where he is a happy member of the Kerry family there. Pickles plays with the family including children, enjoys other dogs, and has shown no signs of his former aggressive nipping behavior. They feel he is more than ready for a new home, albeit one in perhaps the suburbs or in the country rather than in the heart of a noisy, busy city.
If you are interested in Pickles, please contact Tuesday or George Hanna for more information. Adoption fee is $300 to help cover some of the costs the Foundation has incurred in caring for Pickles until he can find new joy and love in a new home. Contact rescue@kerryblues.info for more information.
