We Need a Home!

Vin is the smallest of the "V" puppies, abandoned without their momma, and rescued from a local animal shelter. He was very tiny and weak, so I separated him from the litter with one of his sisters, to give him extra nourishment, vitamins, and to keep him from being picked on. He has blossomed and is now probably no more than two pounds at 14 weeks old. He's paper trained, getting fiesty - tugs on shoe laces and pant legs if he gets a chance, chases a cat toy with a bell in it, carries a squeaky stuffed toy around and wants to play tug. I put a toy size collar on him last night, had to size it down to fit him. Will start a bit of leash training this week.

Orion is Olive's puppy, and he is also paper trained and has been moved to the main kennel where he is learning that he gets no reward for crying. He's a lover and wants to play, play, play. He has inherited the beagle personality. This week he gets a collar and finds out what a leash is.

We have the rest of the "V" litter - all very friendly, people oriented puppies. At 14 weeks of age, they top out at around 5-6 pounds. They are also paper trained and doing well with crate training. I have to buy some collars that will fit these little ones and then the leash training will start. There's Vic, Vaughn, Vlad, Vada, and Venice.

DeNose-O is the basset mix puppy that was dumped. He loves to be with a human and has a wonderful friendly personality. He's doing well with crate training. He's been to an on site adoption and handled the cats, the crowd, and the leash just fine.

Toby needs an active family with a fenced yard. He needs room to run and play. He is also doing well with crate training. He would do best with older children as he has plenty of energy and might knock down a small child. He has been taught not to jump on people, as are all of the dogs here.

Charli, Celia, Carson, Cash, and Corky are doing very well with crate training, and this week we are putting on their first collars and starting to learn to walk on a leash. Charli is the most vocal. Celia is the lover and the most submissive. Carson and Cash are good all around. Corky is already in the main kennel area and has his collar and is learning to walk on a leash. He is the alpha male of the litter.

Then there's Gramps (Buddy/Dallas), the 12 year old pom mix that the lady dropped off at animal control because she was so sick she knew she couldn't care for him anymore. Unfortunately, in spite of vaccinations, he picked up kennel cough at animal control and brought it with him. We have been treating it, and he is feeling much better. We think it was the medicine - Gramps thinks it was the baked chicken! He is housebroken and simply needs a home to live out his life.

Olive (Olive the other reindeer), was spayed this week and is ready to find a home. She is a bit timid with new people, isn't at all aggressive, doesn't know what to think of our mini horses, and was the very best momma dog we have ever taken in. She is housebroken and quiet, has a spring in her step.

Jayda, our little toy fox terrier mix, is crate trained, but not housebroken. She is very quiet and loves to play. Has plenty of energy. I think that she would do best with older children because of her energy level.

Sable is a private rescue and this is a courtesy post. She is a sable female husky, 4 years old, that has been hit by a car in the past and has a gimp in her one hip. She has plenty of go power, knows not to jump on people, is housebroken, and needs a fenced yard and exercise to be happy. She is spayed, current on vaccinations, microchipped, and we are working on leash manners.
