Scottish Terrier Rescue

Scottish Terrier Club of Greater Dayton

The Scottish Terrier Club of Greater Dayton will provide a placement service for the Scottish Terriers in need of a permanent home referred from owners, animal shelters, or animal groups/services.

Persons or animal rescue groups needing assistance with placement of a Scottish Terrier can contact the Rescue Coordinator, Cliff Norman, via email: CliffRNor@aol.com or call: (513) 860-0278.

If you are interested in providing a permanent home for a Scottish Terrier, please go to: http://clubs.akc.org/stca/stcareco.htm and complete an on-line application. Answer all of the questions even if some may seem redundant. Receipt of your on-line application will be acknowledged via email. A home visit will be made before placement of a rescue to verify the information on the application.

If you have never owned a Scottish Terrier, please go to: http://clubs.akc.org/stca/rescue.htm and read the Message from the National Coordinators.

Every rescue Scottie will be examined by a veterinarian if there is not current (within twelve months) medical record available. All rescues are neutered or spayed before placement unless there are circumstances that prohibit this. The adoptive applicant and the Rescue Coordinator will set a date on or before the date of placement for this to be done.

Most of the Scottish Terriers referred for placement are males between the ages of four and eight years of age. Some rescues may need socialization and beginner obedience training.  Any behavior noted of the rescue needing attention will be indicated on the Adoption Agreement.

The adoptive applicant agrees to:

• Make a donation of $50 to the Scottish Terrier Club of Greater Dayton, plus the cost of any medical fees paid by the Club for the rescue.
• Properly house, feed, water, and care for this animal, to include provision of routine inoculations and a worm prevention program as established by a veterinarian.
• Obtain veterinary examination, diagnosis, and treatment when the rescue becomes ill, injured, or when the rescue shows symptoms of becoming ill.
• Exercise proper control and restraint over the rescue at all times and not permit the rescue to run at large.
• Purchase a license for the rescue as required by law and see that the rescue wears the license at all time.
• Assume responsibility for training, specifically basic housebreaking and training against chewing and digging.
• Not to use the rescue for any type of experimental breeding purposes.

The adoptive applicant further agrees to notify Rescue Coordinator if the rescue is subsequently lost or missing. The rescue will not be sold, traded, or given away to another person or agency. The adoptive applicant further agrees to notify the Rescue Coordinator of the death of the rescue.

The adoptive applicant accepts possession and ownership of the rescue at his/her own risk and releases the Scottish Terrier Club of Greater Dayton of any liability or damages cause by the rescue to any person or property.
