About Ebony
Ebony (also fondly known as Eponee Rae) or Ebby is an 8yo Scottish Terrier. Ebony's owner passed away late last year and this bonnie Scottish lass is now looking for a new family to dance for.
Ebby is a very sweet girl who enjoys dinner, a little totter about and a sniff and loves a good lie down. She also likes to have a cuddle on the couch to watch TV. Whenever Ebby is happy - dinnertime, when you come home, when treats might be on offer - she does her little happy dance. It is totally guaranteed to put a big smile on your face. Ebby is fine with other dogs. She hasn't been tested with cats while in our care.
Ebony is prone to skin allergies. These flared up after her owner died as potentially diet and other factors may have changed. We have just started her on the new monthly allergy injection: Cytopoint. This does cost $150 per shot - but as her allergies become controlled, the frequency of injections can be decreased.
Ebby was also one of a litter of "swimmer" pups - whose legs splay out to the sides. With intensive therapy she was able to walk but her legs are bowed and her feet turn out and she wobbles on her legs. This doesn't diminish her happiness - although she will never be a marathon runner!
It has also left her with an issue where she doesn't seem to know when she needs to go to the toilet. For this reason, she would be better placed with someone who is home more often than not and can take her outside regularly to go to the toilet (before she needs to). She does create quite large puddles - so flooring that can be easily cleaned would be beneficial.
She is an absolute sweetheart and everyone who meets her says what a dear little dog she is. She will make someone a truly wonderful companion.

Adoption details
If you are interested in one of our dogs, please send us an email at: hopespringseternaldogrescue@gmail.com in the first instance telling us who you are interested in, and why. We will then send you an adoption application to complete.
At a minimum, we will expect that all of our dogs will be inside/outside dogs and will be treated as a valued member of the family.
If your family needs match the needs of the dog, we will call you to discuss further and arrange a time for you to meet the puppy you are interested in.
If this goes well and you are keen to proceed, we will organise a mutually convenient time with you to undertake a fence/home check - and for the dog you are interested in to meet the rest of the family - both human and other animals.
If you feel that you would like to add the dog to your family, we will ask you to pay the adoption fee and the dog will commence a 4 week trial period - for all of you (both humans and pets) to make sure that you will all be happy living together. We will check in on you during this time and will be available to respond to any concerns you may have during this period.
If everyone is happy at the conclusion of the trial, we will transfer the microchip and provide you with any medical records and information we have on the dog you have adopted.
We will take the dog back into care at any time - if things do not work out - and we appreciate that sometimes - they just don't - for a number of reasons.
We will ask for a happy snap of the dog with their new family members for our adoption gallery and will ask whether we can use that in promoting our rescue on Facebook, the Internet or other promotional materials.
We want the process of adoption to be a happy and exciting time for you and your potential new family member and will work with you to make the experience as positive as possible.
