| Servus |
| Servus was first introduced by Col. Potter Cairn Rescue Network in September 2007. He was one of the cairns in the group “9/11 Rescue Heroes” and is named after one of the real canine heroes who served after the tragedy of 9/11. Servus is a hero in his own right, as he fought to live, and not lay down and die in the puppy mill. After being treated for heartworms and a complete makeover it is now time to find this little “hero” a forever home ALL his own! When his Foster Mom was asked about Servus she wrote the following: |
|
| Servus is sweet and naughty, all rolled into one. He loves attention and seeks me out to pet him. He also stands guard at the baby gate to watch for vermin (cats). He doesn't growl at them, but he really would like to chase them, I think. He's found out that the cat box has snacks and that their food tastes good, too. The naughty Servus takes advantage any time I forget to shut the baby gate.

Servus has the most
beautiful and softest eyes. They say "love me, love me". And I do. The
only time Servus barks is when he hears me come home from work and when
he's excited that supper is about to be served. It's like he's saying,
"Hurry up woman, I'm hungry!" As with any long term puppy mill dog, he's
learning what love and life outside of a small cage are all about and
makes progress each day. |
| Servus loves to play
with toys and will pick one up and walk around with it, and will play
gentle tug of war. His favorite place is standing next to me for
scritches or lying in a dog bed next to me. He isn't comfortable
being picked up but does not complain when I do since he loves the
attention. He wags his tail all the time and is a happy boy. He's still
a little shy, but will come out of that eventually. |

Servus is a former breeder dog, so he does feel the need to compete with
other male dogs. He's not comfortable around new dogs until he gets used
to their presence. There was a new male here for a month and Servus
wasn't happy at first, but then stopped paying attention after the first
couple of weeks. Some male breeder cairns can be very protective once
they've discovered how wonderful life can be in a home, and until they
learn that their human will protect them. Obedience training is highly
advised as it helps the new cairn and human to bond, as well as gives
them structure. Servus is a smart little boy and will learn most
anything if taught correctly by positive reinforcement. Servus was
abused most of his eight years and has every right to be sensitive.
Servus deserves to receive only gentleness, praise and love for the rest
of his life. If you would like to welcome this sweet little "hero" into your home and heart, click here to fill out an adoption application! |
