Eskie Rescuers United

Ladybug
Ladybug came into rescue as an owner surrender at the age of 15 years and weighing only 12 pounds. She was a shy, very sweet little girl who got along well with cats, dogs and even the kids in the neighborhood. Ladybug lived with ERU foster, Bill, where she was pampered with vitamins, medicine for her arthritis and lots & lots of love and attention. Ladybug was a fragile little girl who, by just looking at her, grabbed your heartstrings and wouldn't let go.

But Lady's health had deteriorated and she crossed the Bridge at the age of "Sweet 16". Her passing was very tough on her foster parent and he buried her in a place of honor behind his home.

Lance
Silly, beautiful and a perfect ambassador to all the fosters I had. He never met another dog he didn't like. I wasn't familiar with this breed but ran across them scrolling thru Petfinder after my Shepherd had died from cancer and I was looking for a smaller dog. I applied to Eskie Rescuers so I could foster and get familiar with the breed. This fuzzybutt was found hanging around in a park in Shreveport, Louisiana in 2005, estimated to be 10 mos to a year old. He was my 1st foster for ERU and I just couldn't part with him. Lance is the reason I fell so hard for American Eskimos and I thank God for bringing him into my life for 15 years. Run free sweetheart. There are a lot of your friends to play with til I see you again........Karon Stewart, November 5, 2020

Layla
Very sad and heartbroken Last night I had to let my Layla run free (my ERU foster). A sudden shock, which also reopens the freshness of also losing my boy in August. She was the sweetest and most gentle soul Could tell Vet cried on phone when she had to tell me her results.. when I got there and she came into room,, after I had time with Layla. She was squatting down on other side of Layla, her eyes were red, filled with tears. Then she pulled up her face shield, so I could easily see her face.. She said "I am Amanda (who is my back door neighbor who moved in about 8 months ago) and I know how much your animals mean to you" Not from me telling her, just by her seeing us out in the yard My Bear, feathered one and I are missing my sweet Layla and my sweet Spanky Nothing you would take Everything you gave Meet you on the other side........Candy Kane, November 5, 2020

Lemon
This is Lemon from MD. She moved with me to San Francisco last August. She was the best dog and companion I could have asked for......Yejin Kim, December 6, 2016

Lightning Bug Barker
Rescue is a double edged sword sometimes and today is one of those times. RIP sweet Lightning, run free and wild. You were loved our little peanut. Our Lightning Bug was very ill. Tests yesterday morning confirmed that she, like our Carl 3 months ago, had spleen hemangiosarcoma. She had been picking at her food for several days, not acting "right" and I had been talking with her wonderful vet all week. A very large tumor the size of an orange tumor appeared on Tuesday. It was growing rapidly and exhausting her. Lightning Bug took a turn for the worse yesterday evening. She crossed the Bridge at 6:33pm. It was the most peaceful crossing we have had. She was tired and ready. We are absolutely devastated....... Denise and Mark Barker November 9, 2016
