Chelsea

We have a new little girl; her name is Chelsea, and she's a keeper.  Chelsea came to us after having been abandoned along with her two brothers.  Her brothers went to another rescue, and Chelsea came to us.  She was skinny, hyper, flea infested and had worms.

Our guess is a beagle-pointer mix.  Look at her face...pure beagle.  However, she has long legs, and does a perfect point when she gets a whiff of something.  Her favorite things to do are chase Sami and dig up the yard with Bear.  And when I say dig...I mean did.  She also likes to escape from the yard and go in search of adventure and new smells.  Yep...she's an escape artist.

Look at that face!!  She has been so good.  She loves her crate and has not once peed or pooped in it.  That, my friends, is amazing.  She also loves the doggy bed, and cuddling with her foster family.  She likes nothing more than to cuddle up and gnaw on your fingers or toes.  Yes...she is a teething machine!!

If you know of anyone who might be interested in Chelsea...aka "Little Bit" of "Puppy" please have them fill out an application or contact me!! 

Biscuit and Luke...then and now

Biscuit and Luke were our first fosters, and they were big balls of fluff.  We thought that no doubt Biscuit had some Great Pyrenees and Luke some Golden.

Here is a recent picture of Luke...he is the one on the right in the puppy picture by the way!

 

Biscuit's new family ran a DNA panel on him, and he came out quite the interesting mix...

 

Biscuit is a Chow Chow, Newfoundland, Schipperke Mix

Hard to believe, and we have to assume that Luke has the same genetics, though there is always the chance that they had different fathers...

AMAZING how genetics can create such amazing animals!!

 

 

Names Names Names...
Our babies have gotten new names over the months as they were adopted...and at some point we are going to forget them...
Biscuit and Luke stayed Biscuit and Luke.
Emma and Jake became Gemma and Banjo.
Taco and Belle stayed Taco and Belle
Chico became Cleo
Magic (Fluff) became Wilbur
Fuji, McKinley and Sophia became Bear, McKinley and Pepper.
Claira Belle (Scruff) became Dora.

Who will be our next pup?!?

Like FLUFF...but SCRUFF

Okay, let's be honest...the dog's name is Claira Belle.  That lasted...oh, about til I got her home.  We started calling her "Scruff" and that has been her name ever since.

This little bundle of hyperactivity came from the Union County Flea Market.  One of our fosters saw litters upon litters of puppies smushed into small crates and left to swelter in the heat without water.  She bought Scruff to get her out, and within 2 weeks she and our owner had ALL LIVE ANIMAL sales BANNED!! 

 

It looks like I have found a home for the little girl...I will be doing the home visit tomorrow.  Wish us luck!!

 

 

Introducing Magic Fluff

Okay...his official name is "Magic."  My girls started calling him "Big Fluff", though...because he is, indeed, a BIG OLD FLUFF!!!  My husband calls him "Fluff the MAGIC dragon."  I call him "Magic Fluff."  There is no doubt the animals in my house must be confused as to what their names are...

Magic came to us from Scotland County Animal Shelter, and he has a brother named Duncan who is being fostered elsewhere.  Magic came covered in fleas and with horrible skin issues.  We have given him oatmeal baths and treated the flea issues, and he is slowly but surely coming around.  The first two days we had him he basically slept all day, but now that he is rested up, feeling a little better, and no longer flea infested, he is starting to play and enjoy his time in a home with friends to play with (Bear and Sami).

Anyone interested in Magic should fill out an application at http://www.fureverangelsanimalrescue.com/AvailableDogs.html and send it to me at swellman@carolina.rr.com

CH CH CH CHICO

Chico has been with us for a couple of weeks now...and he may be going to his forever home tomorrow.  He is some kind of small Boxer mix (we think!!)  Awwwww...

Ahhhhh....the Fu-Bear

Sweet Fuji is now named "Bear" or "Fu-Bear" and he is staying with us.  Yep...we made the final decision yesterday to keep him as OUR new family member.  We also ran DNA on him and in addition to mom being a Husky/Shepherd mix dad is a full Golden Retriever.  Who'd have thought?!?  Welcome little man.  (Little...HA!  He weighs in at over 30 pounds at 14 weeks!!)

Sophie is now named "Pepper" and she and McKinley have moved in with one of my friends down the street.  The girls and Bear can get together anytime they want!  Hooray!!
