I rescued 10 8-week-old puppies from the pound. 9 of them were from Mia’s litter, and one I rescued the next day because I figured 10 puppies isn’t much harder than 9. The litter mates were Minnie, Bowser, Tifa, Bayard, Rufio, Aeris, Maisey, Scooter Bug, and Koda (not pictured). Columbus was the add-on to the [...]
Mia is a 3-4 year old Sharpe/Labrador Retriever mix. I rescued her from the shelter along with her 9 puppies. She was extremely well-behaved and behaves off leash in the yard. She wasn’t with me for long, but I was able to teach her to catch a Frisbee. She changed fosters when someone adopted one [...]
Xander is a 9 month old Staffordshire Bull Terrier/Labrador Retriever Mix. He came out of the shelter with a group of four other dogs scheduled for euthanasia after the weekend. Luckily enough for him the clinic in Orem was offering free fixes to shelter dogs that day, so we did a 5 day weekend of [...]
Denzel is a 8 week old German Shepard mix. I only had him for one night and he got adopted the next day. He was recently returned and adopted out again.
Demyx is a 12 week old German Shepard mix. I rescued him and Velda from the shelter at the same time. He stayed with me for about two weeks. I got to go hiking with him once before he got adopted. The terrain was a little too rough for him, but I think he still [...]
Velda is a 12 week old German Shepard mix. I rescued her and Demyx from the shelter at the same time. She stayed with me for about two weeks, and was one of the many puppies I got attached to. At her first adoption event an older German Shepard bit her face and wouldn’t let [...]
Rotti is a 1 ½ year old Rottweiler mix. He only stayed with me for about three weeks. He got adopted in two days but before we got him to his new home he got sick. Rotti had large amounts of blood in his stool for about a week, so the adopter didn’t want to move [...]
Hooch is a 3-year-old Golden Labrador Retriever from English lines. We rescued Hooch at the Super Adoption event in May of this year. I can’t believe he was in the shelter—though I can’t believe that about all the dogs I foster. He was extremely well-behaved. I could let him be off leash in the yard [...]
Ludo is a 4 year old Australian Koolie. He was def but knows signs for all of his basic commands. When I told people this many of them would wave their hands around trying to give him commands. He was surprisingly independent for being def, but he always did much better with another dog to [...]
I read this last night and could not sleep afterward. When I was a puppy, I entertained you with my antics and made you laugh. You called me your child, and despite a number of chewed shoes and a couple of murdered throw pillows, I became your best friend. Whenever I was “bad,” you’d shake [...]
