Sugar was a 1 ½ year-old boxer pit bull mix. I found her while taking my neighbors on a tour of the shelter. She had a litter of two-day-old puppies with her in the kennel. She’d had them in the shelter right before I picked her up. It took a little convincing, but Kelly said [...]
I found an interesting piece of software tonight. Doggelganger compares an image of your face to a database of adoptable dogs, and identifies the best match for you. If the software truly does do facial comparison on the dogs in the database it could have lots of interesting applications in dog identification.
Lucy and Duo were 8-week-old blue heeler puppies that we took from Kelly’s sisters house, and fostered through Wag-n-Train Dog Rescue. They were fun, but we didn’t have them for long they were adopted out at the Mini Super Adoption during December.
Oakley is a 2-year-old pit bull mix. She was originally brought into CAWS as a puppy, but two years later she turned up in the shelter again. I actually pulled her from the shelter for another foster home, but they fell through and I ended up with her. Oakley had a great personality. She loved [...]
Nala is a 2-year-old Chocolate Retriever. I originally met Nala in one of the training classes that I attended with Ozzy. She was very afraid of other dogs and protective of her owner if strange dogs were nearby. In the end that’s what caused her to be given up. She kept starting fights with the [...]
Boozer is a 1 ½ year old American Bulldog Labrador Retriever mix, I think. CAWS took him in at the spring 2010 super adoption. I don’t know much of what happened to him between the time CAWS took him in and he came to my house. I know he was adopted out, but ended up [...]
I was thinking about this on my walk this morning. I met someone who owns a mastiff. He told me about how people are afraid of the dog even though it only ever tries to love people. This made me think of the stereotype around pit bulls, and how people walk out into the road [...]
Buddy is a pure white Boxer, and wasn’t def like most white boxers. I’m not sure how old he was. He was a dog that we pulled from SUVAS. He lived with Stacie for quite a while; then I’m not sure what happened to him. He got kicked out of daycare right before I got [...]
Jack is a 4-year-old German Shepard. He is fully papered, well-trained, and the first dog rescue I did out-of-pocket instead of working with a rescue. I met him in the shelter when I went to check on Ruby. His family surrendered for being “too big.” You could tell just from looking at him that his [...]
Ruby is an American Pittbull Terrier and I’m not sure of her age. She was a former CAWS rescue, but she ended up in the shelter again after biting a stranger who came into her back yard while her family was gone. Her family had left her in the back yard while they were gone, [...]
