Some more adoptions......

So we had quite a flurry of adoptions the last couple of months.....so I think I will finally get caught up today!! Don't know who to start with....so I guess we'll take Pacer.
Pacer has been with us for a few years.....he was a bit older when we got him......so sweet, but no takers. When we found him on the street we took him to the vet to have him scanned for a microchip, and he actually had one from the San Francisco SPCA. We contacted the owners in Houston, they let him go because they didn't want him anymore (really great people). He finally found a good home.....so glad both he and Blast....a couple of our seniors got adopted this year!!!
Calypso was a lovely boy we got from animal control earlier this year. He was absolutely covered in mange. Luckily we had a kind foster to take him in and nurse him back to health. Once he felt better he started bringing him to shows. Here he is about a month ago.......
He went to his new home outside of Dallas this week......he had a short adjustment period.....but is doing great now with his new buddy!!!
Our little girl, Jordyn also got a home this last week. This picture is of her when she went for a fun foster weekend with Jake.....
I wasn't there for the adoption......but heard they were very excited to have her!!!!
Have fun Jordyn......we will miss you!!!!
Kenzie

Abby
Last but not least for today.....I posted a couple of months ago about some dogs we had in kennel, two little red girls and a woolly. We got the two red girls out of the kennel and we immediately had interest in them. A previous adopter, Merlin's mom and dad, were interested in one of them. They came with Merlin and we let them out one at a time.....they both were great with him. So here was the conversation:
Dad: Which one do you like the best??
Mom: I really like them both.
Dad: But which one do you want to take home??
Mom: Both of them........
And so , Kenzie and Abby found a new home with big brother Merlin. I've talked to them and they adore the girls.....and Merlin keeps them in line!!!!
We are always so happy to get kids in some good homes!!!!
A short Lizzy update.....things seem to be about the same.....we are still walking everyday....she loves her food and treats......so I'm good for now.....she seem to be too!!!
Hoping you are having a great holiday!!!!
See you soon......

Been a while.....

Hope you are having a great holiday season......we are doing pretty well here!!! Lizzy is the same , which is good and everyone else is doing well. I've been busy with the online fundraiser for the rescue.....this was one of my projects!!!!

I baked more that 500 dog biscuits......that was a full day project!!!!
Wanted to talk about a few adoptions.....I'm getting very behind.....so let's catch up.....
A couple of months ago a young man came up to us at a show and was very interested in getting a Husky. We asked if he'd ever had a dog, he hadn't , so we suggested Gunter. Gunter is very laid back and sweet....perfect for the first time owner. He took us up on our suggestion and now Gunter has a wonderful home!!!
Yi and his best buddy, Gunter
Blast had been with us for a few years.....he just never got much interest. He is such a sweet boy too!! A month or so ago we met a couple at the same show we met Yi and they came the next week for our work day......they also had a hidden motive.....they wanted to check out a bunch of dogs and see which one was going to go home with them. They took a few of the dogs for a walk and decided on Blast.....I was so happy!!!
Blast with Christina and Ryan!!!!
His name is Harvey now and they just love him......so glad for him.....there truly is a family out there for all of our dogs!!!
The last one today will be Liesha. Liesha was a girl that came to us covered in mange. We worked with her and finally got her pretty cleared up, we knew that if she could get a home that she would probably clear up completely. We had a great family with their dog Hunter come by and they got along great. They didn't even bother to see any other girls.So finally our girl has her own home. They tell me that the two are inseparable!!
Liesha/Sasha with Hunter and her new Mom and Dad!!!
We've had plenty more adoptions....but I'll save those for later. I opted not to put up my tree this year....didn't want to disturb Miss Lizzy....she has a huge crate in the living room that takes up a lot of space and I don't want to move her.....she sleeps there all the time.....not quite as bright as it usually is.....but I'm just glad she is still around!!!!
Have a wonderful evening.......
