A Perfect Fit!

Sometimes things just come together perfectly. Cheyenne’s foster is also the volunteer who did the home visit for her furever family, and she knew immediately that she’d found the perfect home for Cheyenne. Although our volunteers try to be impartial (we all think we have the best foster ever!), sometimes you can’t deny the perfect fit. So, she made the suggestion to our adoption coordinator who agreed it was a perfect match! The only obstacle was that Cheyenne was recovering from hookworms and needed to be medically cleared before she could move to her furever home.

Xena is a young Dane who arrived at rescue heartworm positive, unsure of new situations, and in need of manners. She did well with the other pets in her foster home and flourished under the loving guidance of her foster family. She responded well to heartworm treatment and is now in a wonderful home. Xena has another Dane to play with and plenty of room to run and play. Most importantly, her family is willing to give her the time she needs to adjust and settle in.

WOW What a fun night. We cannot thank Cypress Waters for providing the most awesome space for our event. So many great businesses donated great silent auction items and together we raised tons of much needed funds for our foster dogs. Thank you to all who attended and made this such a fun and successful night.

Lenny came to rescue heartworm positive and with a nasty pressure sore on his leg. He was a senior Dane in rough shape and needing a lot of TLC. Through the patient care of his foster mom and our veterinarians, he received treatment for the wound and underwent heartworm treatment. His gentle temperament quickly won over his foster mom, and we were all hopeful he would soon find a furever home.

Ellie's Home for the Holidays

Ellie is an energetic, loving puppy who found herself in a shelter when her initial owner became overwhelmed. She wanted badly to please her foster family and began learning how to behave properly while in their care. She was recently matched with a family who is continuing her training. Ellie now has a family to call her own, complete with another dog to help her burn off some of that puppy energy.

Congratulations to Ellie and her new family!

Leo's the King of His Castle

Leo is a sweet dude who took some time to open up to and trust his foster home. Some dogs do well as only dogs, some do well at home alone all day, and others just love to be surrounded by playmates and people. Leo fell into the latter category. He loves his people, loves other dogs, and even does well with kitties. Happily, he gets plenty of time with all three – people, dogs, and kitties – in his furever home. Congratulations to Leo and his furever family!

Iris is Counting Her Blessings!

Iris is a sweet, senior lady who came to rescue in search of a better life. Her first six years were rough, and it was no surprise that she was heartworm positive at intake. With a little love and some veterinary care, Iris underwent heartworm treatment and began her journey back to health. Now, she is heartworm negative and has a fabulous home with another dog to keep her company in her golden years.

Her new family recently sent in this heart-warming update:

Puppy Bliss in a FURever Home

Submitted by Mocha on Mon, 11/07/2016 - 3:17pm

I really should have posted this way before now..

Puppies are work. I think I have the only kids in the world who see a puppy and cringe because they are far too familiar with all the training, time and work that go into having a puppy in the house. Being a puppy foster home we know too well the reality of a puppy, the good the bad and the obnoxious.... but this is why we love them... and also why we have requirements for adopters to be approved to adopt a puppy.

Lovely Lacey Finds a Home

Great Danes eat great amounts of food, sort of. Surprising as this is for many people, a Great Dane can over-eat and become overweight. Sweet Lacey came to rescue in need of a diet. Our veterinarian ruled out physiological causes for her excess weight and determined it was simply a case of too much food. Luckily for Lacey, one of our fosters is a registered dietician and was excited to help Lacey regain her svelte figure!
