Life Goes On

When a door closes, another opens, so the saying goes. We have opened the door for six new dogs in the last couple of days.

Sasha was surrendered by her owners when they moved into an apartment and her barking made the neighbors angry. Sasha is very timid and on the edge of becoming aggressive because of her fear. She hasn't said one word since she's been here, but is making good progress. It will be quite awhile before she is adoptable. She's a black lab/greyhound mix, very well housebroken, knows sit, and her tail wags happily when she sees me instead of being tucked up to her chin.

There's Fonzie, a llasa/shih tzu, pug (?) mix, black and white, full of himself and cute as can be. He was found as a stray and ended up in a local animal control several times.

There's an adorable fluffy puppy about 9 weeks old, maybe Aussie/collie mix, a male.

Max is a purebred rough coated Jack Russell of 6 years old. A very nice dog that needs to be neutered.

Sophie is a purebred golden retriever that was owner surrendered. She's a beautiful, friendly, well behaved dog that knows sit, but needs some better leash manners. She's been around kids and dogs and gets along very well. She has a small hard mass on her left hip area that will be evaluated by our vet tomorrow.

Then we have Allie. A very pregnant border collie. Allie is a real sweetheart. Animal control called and said they were desperate to find her a home or rescue. She's smart, house broken, and knows sit for sure. The puppies could arrive most any time, and we have guesses of from 5 to 10 puppies so far. We will keep you posted on the count and amount.

Life goes on - it sure does!
