It's been a crazy couple of weeks as I've been trying to get the new house ready to move into. I'm hoping to move in within the next week or two, and then I'll be able to start fostering again, and blogging more often. Fortunately all of my fosters have been adopted, except for Ziggy who is still away at rehab. He's doing well and will hopefully be released soon! Here are some of the recent adoptions we've had:
Zoe
My previous pit bull mix puppy foster was adopted over a week ago, and so far, so good.
That basically means I haven't received a phone call from the adopter wanting to return her - yet. Whew.
Her littermate Venture (a.k.a. Scary Puppy) has now been renamed Mia and is in another foster home, where she is doing great and being spoiled! Here is Mia attending a parade with her foster family:
Guess she's not so scary when she's all dressed up!
My friend Bev, the
craziest most wonderful foster person I know, took in eight Chesapeake Bay/Labrador Retriever mix puppies recently, and they were ready for adoption this past weekend, at the same time as Wags and Wrigley. She knew I couldn't make it to adoptions last weekend because I was working on the house, so she kept Wags and Wrigley, along with her eight foster puppies, all weekend and took them to three adoption events! That's right - she gave up her ENTIRE weekend - Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday, to hold adoption events at a local PetSmart to try to find the puppies homes. And it paid off, because by the end of the day on Sunday, all ten puppies had been adopted, along with one adult foster dog. It was incredible. Did I mention she's
crazy wonderful? In addition to the three day adoption event, she also attended/worked at a fundraiser for All Paws on Saturday night, and temporarily kept another six puppies and one adult all weekend for another foster mom who had to go out of town. I am in awe of her, and can't quite understand how she stays sane, but I am glad she does! Thanks to her, a lot of puppies are now happily living in new homes, including Wags and Wrigley.

Best of luck with the move. Never a fun experience.
CONGRATULATIONS on all the adoptions. Glad that Ziggy is coming along.
What a fun and successful weekend! That sounds like an awful lot of pups! But look how cute they are!!
Sounds like it was an adoption blitz! I can't wait to see pictures of the new house, AND reformed Ziggy. I hope they didn't get all the badness out of him. Then what would you have to write about LOL
Good luck with your new house. I'm so happy for you!

At last!
Oh, there you are. You hadn't posted in a while and I was beginning to wonder if you were okay. :)
Wow. She does sound wonderful. It's so nice to read such good news.
Good luck with the move. I didn't have to prepare a new house, but I totally understand the whole packing/unpacking/rearranging. I'll be thinking of you.
Congratulations on the happy news! Puppies, adoptions AND new house.
whoa! She is wonderfully crazy!! Wowow!
Yea!!!! It's so good to hear that so many dogs found homes!
And it's only because of the hard work of the 2 leggers that love us- fanks!!!!
Huge congrats on the adoptions! Excellent news!
Huge congrats on the adoptions! Excellent news!
What a weekend! That's unbelievable! Here's to many happy years for those pups in their new homes. And we're SO HAPPY to hear that Ziggy is doing well!
Hi Y'all,
So glad all those pups found forever homes!
We'll keep y'all in mind as you face your move! Once you're settled, don't be like my friend, who brings me toys, and take in the pets the local shelter refuses 'cause it's got too many.
Paws crossed!
