Description
Dog Breed: American Eskimo Dog. Please contact Heidi (heidieskierescuers) for more information about this pet. Meet sweet and gorgeous Henry. Henry is such a wonderful boy. He gets along with other dogs, lived with barn cats in the past, likes people, is great in the car and on walks, and is just an all around enjoyable companion. He is very mature in the house, and can be trusted with all my other dogs, having free rein when I am away. Henry sleeps in my room with all the other dogs too, never making a peep. Henry's owner died over a year ago and Henry was left to live on a farm with a caretaker. The family wanted to sell the farm, so they contacted us for help. Henry has been completely vetted at our veterinary clinic. He has had a dental, x-rays, complete blood work, SNAP4DX, and is up to date on all his vaccines. Henry will lift his back left paw every once in a while, but his x-rays showed no damage to his bones or any underlying problem. We would like Henry to stay close to Baltimore. If you are interested in meeting him please contact me at Heidieskierescuers Whenever possible Eskie Rescuers United tries to adopt out its dogs locally (or at least to adopters in adjoining states to where I'm being fostered). Please note that ERU processes LOCAL adoption applications before considering those from out of state. If I'm not local to you, as explained above, and you really have your heart set on me, you will have to make special arrangements so ERU can get me to you safely (for example, flying me to you at your own expense, or paying a transport group to drive me to you). Note: We may ask that you to make a donation to cover transport costs if the distance is great and we have trouble finding transport drivers. There is an adoption fee required; and, please be aware, Eskie Rescuers United will not adopt out its dogs as outdoor dogs. Eskie Rescuers United American Eskimo Dog Rescue, Inc. is an IRS-approved 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.

Overview:
The American Eskimo Dog, often affectionately called an "Eskie," is a charming and intelligent spitz-type breed originating from Germany, despite its misleading name. These beautiful dogs come in three sizes—toy, miniature, and standard—all boasting a striking white double coat, erect ears, and a plumed tail curled over their back. Known for their alert and friendly disposition, Eskies are highly trainable and excel in activities like agility and obedience, reflecting their history as circus performers. Their energetic and playful nature makes them wonderful family companions, though early socialization and consistent training are crucial. While adaptable to apartment living if given sufficient exercise, they thrive with a yard and an active lifestyle. Owners should be mindful of potential health issues such as hip and elbow dysplasia, progressive retinal atrophy, and luxating patellas. With proper care and attention, American Eskimo Dogs are loyal, loving pets that bring joy to their families.
