Status Updates and Puppy Pictures

Most of my foster dogs with issues have now been adopted!  Gucci, Jet, Blondie and Annie Beagle all found wonderful homes!  Also Leroy was adopted, and Lulu and Gus are both in foster-to-adopt homes.  I also took in these temporary foster dogs:

Josie, Ginger and Sarge came into rescue along with two other dogs from a hoarder/collector situation.  They are friendly and sweet, and within a week they went out to other foster homes.

Josie has a habit of squeaking instead of barking.  She is a very small dog and very sweet and loving.  She might not be the smartest in the bunch, but she is one of the happiest.

Josie

Ginger is only eight months old which might explain why she has so much energy.  She is a very athletic dog and will often climb on your back, your shoulders, or the top of your head.  For the few days she was here I was teaching her to jump into my arms on command, because it was preferable to having her jump on me when I wasn't ready.   Even with all her energy she is very sweet and likes to cuddle and lick your face and your ears, and she is very determined to do so even if you sit curled up in a ball with your hands over your face.  

Ginger

 Sarge is a Beagle/Jack Russell Terrier mix.  He was good with most of the other dogs but thought that he was in charge and tried to scare away all new dogs that came in, so he went to a foster home where there aren't so many new dogs all the time.

Charlie Mac was only here for two days, and that was just long enough to realize that he was a goofy boy that likes everyone and has no concept of personal space.  Since I already have one of those (named Eeyore), Charlie Mac quickly went to another foster home where he was a perfect fit.

 I also took in eight puppies that had nowhere to go.  They are some sort of Hound mix, and they're around ten weeks old now.  They will be moving on to other foster homes as space becomes available, and should be available for adoption within a week or two.

Happy puppy!

Another happy puppy!  Or maybe the same one!

Leroy and Lulu

I currently have two new foster puppies. Leroy is a five-month-old Great Dane mix. He is scared of new things, and for some reason has a special fear of mops. Since I have a lot of fosters right now, I spend a lot of time walking around with a mop, which leads him to spend a lot of time chasing the mop and barking. But when he’s not chasing mops, he is very sweet.



"You're not hiding a mop behind your back, are you?"

 My other new foster puppy is a two-month-old pit bull mix named Lulu. She is deaf, and she loves to explore. She explores so well that I have trouble finding where she went, and since she’s deaf I can’t call her. I have to wait until she appears again from whatever fun spot she found to explore – like under the couch, or under the deck, or under the blankets. She is a tricky little explorer.

Lulu started off this morning as a nice clean white puppy.

Then we went outside and she went exploring.

I introduced Leroy and Lulu to each other and both wanted to play together, but Leroy didn’t realize that he was just a little bit bigger than Lulu.

Can you see a giant dusty paw print on Lulu’s side? That’s from Leroy. There’s a slight size differential there.

"Did I do that?!"

Lulu and Leroy are both available for adoption and will hopefully find their forever homes very soon!
