The summer was not dog less but it was doggy lite for sure. Working a full-time job and performing in the Circus on the weekends makes it hard to keep up with my "gotta save them all" spirit.
A quick update
Carter ( my jumpy black lab foster ) although initially returned by owners who weren't quite ready for him has found a happy home with a man and his son and a big backyard huzzah!
Ruby's (The dog I found pregnant on the street) puppies have all been adopted. That's 11 happy healthy abnormally large pups finding rescue homes. Ruby is still at the shelter but is actually one of the only dogs I've ever met that seems to like the shelter so she's ok waiting for her forever home.
Harley- an eight month old Black Lab mix. He was a local stray I didn't get to blog much about, by much I mean at all. He had spent multiple days on the street, had fleas (fun adventure for all the animals and people in the house) as well as scars and some sort of skin condition. Regardless we took him in got him in decent help and fell in love with him but before we could decide whether to just keep him we found him a home that really/needed and want him.
I actually cried he was impossibly hard to give away and if the home hadn't been so wonderful I don't think I could of, but he's in a great place. Wow he was a fantastic animal, already house trained and he knew lots of tricks. We put signs up everywhere and posted him on lost dog websites, I can't imagine the terrible people that didn't wan this dog back but I'm glad he got away from them. He was my first independent rescue and it was very exciting.
Bizmark- My pekingese formal puppy mill resident. We worked on clearing up some of his extreme fears, He had spent all 5 years of his life in a puppy mill crate used as a breeding stud. Although he marked everything in sight the first couple of days, we definitely made amazing progress. He learned that not all people are horrible AND how to walk on a leash and climb stairs for the first time.
Any ways- what inspired me to blog is my newest doggie adventure. Wanda a mixed breed with 9 itty bitty puppies. The shelter was crowded and having a hard time keeping Wanda and her pups healthy, they needed a stress free, illness free environment to level out in. So now I have a total of 11 dogs in the house. The pups will be here at least a couple weeks so hopefully I will have some fun stories to tell their eyes haven't even opened yet....for now I'll post pics of all the pups in this update. I'm sure I'll have more to share soon....
