Ally

This is Ally before she was sprung from the big house:

Poor Ally.
Her owners took her to the shelter and abandoned her.  I don't know the reason.  Perhaps it is because she has a little destructive side to her...

Okay, yes, I admit it...
I wasn't happy when she ate the dog bed.  However, I could have put her in her crate while I was busy elsewhere.  You don't give up a dog because she gets bored and destructive.  You find things she CAN play with...like unstuffed animals and balls.  She has become and amazing ball player.

This is Ally now.

She is waiting for her forever home now.  She is a sweet girl, who likes nothing more than to hang out and have her belly rubbed.  She loves to play with our 3 dogs.  She loves being FREE and LOVED.  Really...isn't that what we all want? 

And THIS is Sophie...

Here is our newest pup...Sophie.

Where Does Time Go??

Our last foster was CODY.

Cody came from a family who got him from a breeder.  Once they got this Border Collie home, they realized he was too energetic for their family, but didn't want to send him back to the breeder, so he came to us.

Unfortunately, the family we chose for him also returned him to us, saying he was too energetic.  He IS a Border Collie...they are used to being on the job!!  We decided he belong with us...so he joined our pack.  He IS energetic, and at times it gets frustrating, but because we kept him we took a break from fostering while we integrated him into our home.  Now...we are back in business.

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!!
