CINDY is a Longhaired Chihuahua/Papillon that loves everyone and even other dogs. Thanks to Kim in San Diego, she was rescued from the Orange County Shelter and is enjoying her foster family very much. From her wonderful foster mom:  Denise,

Here is some info you can pass along to your prospective adopters on Cindy.  She is about 15 inches tall from the top of her had to the floor.  He weighs about 10 lbs.    She loves kids and tolerates other dogs.  She is very picky.  Out of the seven dogs I have here she only likes one of them.  She stays away from most and prefers to lay in my bed all day.  She is housebroken and uses the doggy door all day and night if necessary.  She likes to sleep at the top of your head and take turns sleeping with everyone in the family.
  She is settling in very well here and is extremely happy to see me every day when I come home and greets everyone by jumping up and down and licking your hand.  She loves my boys and likes to lay with them while they play video games.

 We love her and will be sad when she goes.

Take care,
  December 11,2004 Kathryn in SD adopted Cindy after Kim did a home visit and found that Cindy would have the best home with her new Maltese Brother. Thanks to Kim.

SHAKA IS ADOPTED!

"Rowan( my 9 yr old daughter) and I were up late last night cleaning the house.  It was funny
explaining to her the concept of "baby proofing", except that this
baby can jump to the top of the fridge, cabinets, tables,
bookshelves.. (grin ).  Now all the small pieces are put away and she
understands the need to keep the house safe.  We also went to Petco
and purchased a new cat-house column for the livingroom, so that
Shaka can jump up and in and be comfortable in the carpteted
pagoda-type house and look over the livingg room. :)

    Needless to say, we're excited. Colorado

    I'll be getting that documentation to you this afternoon.

We got her a very cool litter box called the Booda Hut, it's twice the size of a regular litter box with total privacy and little steps that go up inside. We also ordered her a very nice bed that provides her privacy as well. We are both waiting to welcome her home!  Massachusetts.

Hope your flight goes well!!

All the Best,

Colleen n Partner had this cool igloo litterbox and bed all ready for her in her room.  He never even came out to say goodbye to Angel and I because he did not want to leave Tiggerette!  They will make wonderful new parents. And Auntie Angela is there for them "

ROCKY  12 mos. Labrador Retriever mix was bought from a backyard breeder with an "AKC" Black Lab who does not know there are dozens of these puppies dying in the shelter every week.  The young man got married and could not take Rocky with him.  His mother loves the dog who loves everyone but her condo is too small and she is disabled.  She is borrowing our large carrier and crate training Rocky with chew bones in the house so he doesn't run out of the yard anymore, putting weight on him with Nutra Nuggets and loving him until he finds a new family.  He lays by her side when she comes home from work. He knows how to sit and stay as you can see this handsome boy! Thanks William for bringing him into your home at Scripps Ranch, CA.

JACK is a 1 yr. old PUrebred Schipperke with one eye, lots of energy, lots of love who needs a special one dog only home with an experienced Schipperke at home owner.  He has had injury to his other eye, and after his foster mom paid $1,800 he is better.  He needs training and a lot of activity.  Agility or tricks would be great.  He needs a very loving and responsible special home. He found an experienced Schipperke home in California!

Denise, "Thank you so much for all that you do.  Yours is the finest organization dedicated to animal rescue that I’ve ever seen.  You have certainly blessed us with the most wonderful dog, our Buddah. I wanted to send you the pics (Click here to see all the Bassett Puppies  www.saveadogandkids.org/bassettnewhomes.htm),  but also was going to ask about another dog.  We really want to get a companion for Buddah, not because he is lonely (someone is home just about all the time!), but he is just so social.  He has a friend that comes over to play and at the puppy class he was just so wonderful with all the other dogs, both large and small!  When we first started thinking about the idea, I immediately went to your site to see what other loves you had.  That little Michael Jordan is just so very precious!!  I’m sorry that his trip to California did not work out.  We were looking for someone that is similar in size or smaller than Buddah and his face just keeps coming to mind."  Sharon Yeah Michael Jordan will have the best family and brother to play, sleep, go to class  and cuddle with.

COCO (With Hyldie and Kathy who are looking for another dog to play and travel with them from Park City to NY State, attend agility classes as Hyldy has done for 5 yrs since she was adopted from our rescue and attended our puppy class with the Grossmans.)

COCO 1 yr Weimaraner/Choc Lab F is loving and unfortunately her family cannot keep her.  They have been keeping her outside in the cold here in Utah and she runs away. Please help us help her come inside into a loving foster or permanent home. She is shy, needs housetraining and to gain weight. But she is sweet, smart and loving. She wants to play once she trusts other dogs.  The family that had kept her outside 24 hrs a day all winter and skinny  has decided to keep Coco. We are very sad for Coco.
