Introduction
4 years ago
Hello, My name is Stacie but I also go by StaraRune. I live in Iowa. I run a non-profit organization called American Eskimo Dog Rescue & Sanctuary of Iowa. I currently have 14 American Eskimo Dogs and one Collie living with me. I also work full time and go to school full time. I have been happily married for 11 years to my soul mate. We do not have any human children but are surrounded and loved by our canine children. A friend of mine sent me a birthday card from Care2 and I thought I would check it out. So I signed up and started this group. Let's see where we go from here. StaraRune
I love Eskies

Hi Stacie! Our family is blessed with one Eskie that we simply adore. He loves to give Eskie hugs and kisses. The breed is very intelligent, obedient, and loving. Regards, ~Carl

HI Carl, I saw the pictures of your Eskie. Be careful...I have found them to be adictive. One is just not enough. Welcome to my group. I am fairly new at this so any hints or tips are appreciated. I'm trying to find a backgroud I like right now and playing with the front page. I need to learn html. Welcome and thank you for joining!! StaraRune
You are right!

Thanks for this group!

I had one Eskie, Leandrah, who I rescued... and then... it was all over!

I got a book about my baby, and learned a lot abuot the breed, I was in love!

I found someone who had a miniature Eskie, Leah is a Standard. We got them together, and had some pups because I wanted one of her babies!

I felt bad later on, and vowed to rescue the next one I get, because I learned there were many needing homes!

How on earth could anyone have a beautiful Eskie and not want to keep Him or her?

Now, My Leah is going to be 13 in January, and her pup, Shinowah, is turning 7, on May 5th.

I love my babies, and I don't think I'll have anything but Eskies from now on!

I have a few pics in here..

HI Valerie!!

Welcome to American Eskimo Dog Rescue.  We are always glad to see new Eskie owners here.  Your babies are beautiful!!

I really want to use this group to raise awareness of Breed Specific Rescue.  Yes...we only take one kind  of dog...but we are also aleviating the over population at Shelters and saving more animal lives.  People should look to shelters and breed specific rescues before going to breeders.  Well off my soap box now. 

Welcome to the group!!

Hi, I just found your group, and I'd love to join. The love of my life is a 5 yr old miniature (not toy) American Eskimo by the name of Panda. She has such a sweet personality, is so eager to please, and just thrives on love and attention. There's nothing like coming home from a bad day at work to a great big "Eskimo Hug". Really, I have a huge respect for all of you who put your care and time into rescuing these beautiful animals, I can't even imagine how somebody could abandon or mistreat them.

Hi Toni, 

Welcome to American Eskimo Dog Rescue!!!  Seeing as you have a mini of your own...you already know what Heart Bandits they are. 

We are a new group, just getting off the ground.  Feel free to join in and help us build the group. 

I do rescue American Eskimo Dogs.  Check out my website at www.eskiedog.org.  I also post a weekly link to our Picture of the Week. 

Please feel free to invite any other Eskie Lovers you know on Care2.  Again...Welcome.

Hello

I saw this group and just had to join. My name is Jess and my Eskies is Mitsie. She was a rescue dog, I got her 5 years ago, she was found locked in a barn in January, which in Ottawa, Canada averages about minus 20 degrees C.

Since then she has become  a huge part of my life and spoiled me for other breeds. They are so intelegent and have such wonderful personalities that I wish I could have more. 'sigh' Appartments.

I am so glad that there are organisations that are devoted to caring for them.

I love looking at pictures of Eskies - your pets are so sweet!

Panda came into our lives when she was 3 yrs old - an older woman owned her and a Collie, and had difficulty keeping up with 2 dogs. She decided to get rid of Panda, and keep the Collie, who she's had for about 8 years or so.
She was going to get Panda put to sleep, but my father's friend, who rescues dogs and finds home for them, heard about her and took her in. One month later, when I was visiting my parents, he stopped in and mentioned the dogs he was currently looking after. I've always wanted an Eskie, so my husband picked her up the next day. She's been with us ever since!

What a beautiful picture of Bear bear, I am so glad you rescued him!

He IS an American Eskimo Dog, they are actually members of the Spitz family, like akitas, pomeranians, Samoyed and a few others.

There is also a Japanese Spitz, which I think is an Eskie... really.

My hubby was given a tiny just born puppy that still had it umbilical cord attached.A woman had found it in her driveway just before living for work. She said she hadbeen trying to care of it but did not have enough time to take care of him properly.So my hubby brought him to me. (ofcourse)He was very tiny. At first I thought he was a kitten. I gave him to my son. He was to raise him himself.He did and the puppy grew into a dog .We were very attached to him.One day he bolted out the back door and into a passing car.It was devistating.It hasbeen 5 years since that day.It still hurts and I can't bring myself to embrace another one.He was very special and no other will ever be able to fill the void.

SAD about Puk...

I am sorry to hear that. My leah ran out into the street when she was about 2 and we were lucky, only major cuts abnd scratches, no broken bones or anything bad, after she ran into a blazer.
She never has ran out like that again.
Here is her full grown pup, shinowah.
Shinowah was just recently nabbed in the eye, deep in the cornea, by a cat's claw, and we are trying to get this healed, without a lot of luck, now, for 2 weeks. Any advice will be welcomed!
No, I'm eating!



Another Eski Lover!!

Hi my name is Kelly.  I got my first rescue American Eskimo in 1992.  Since then I have adopted two more and two other mix breeds. 

I am a big fan of Heart Bandits.  That's where I got my second two. 

Once you own one, there's really no other breed for you!!

This is C.C. my current American Eskimo. I like to call her Princess Pork! LOL

My name is Mary Owens, I don't own an Eskie but I use to own a male and a female and was wondering if it was normal for them to act like wolves. I mean my female would only mate with my male and when she got tired of dogfood she would climb the fence like a cat and go kill a cat and eat it ( my husband caught them doing that.) Also she would regurgitate food for her pups. And when I got my male fixed she would mate with whatever dog was around. Then one day she found another Eskie down the road and started mating with him. Even her puppies were part of the "pack". Can someone please tell me if this behavior in an Eskie is normal?
