Farrah and Demi are both available for adoption.
Farrah and Demi had a sleep over at Kiara's house this past week. Thank you Kiara for being an awesome resident foster sister and having a great momma who is always willing to help!
Amazon Wishlist Help 4.29.15
We need some Amazon wishlist help.
First, Edith. Our elderbull. She has developed a cough. The vet checked her heart and lungs with an xray. Her heart is enlarged from the heartworm damage but everything else checked out fine. We are waiting on blood work to come back today but in the mean time the vet did want to start her on an antibiotic to get ahead of a possible bacterial infection. With this, we would also like to start her on a Probiotic to keep her system running and offset the antibiotic. Edith is in need of the Primal Defense Probiotic.
Second, Bernie. Bernie came to us with bladder issue including blood in the urine. Since then he has been in and out of the vet trying to figure out what is going on through xrays and an ultrasound. Yesterday, we got news that it is chronic cystitis. In order to treat this he needs to be on an a few different supplements along with raw food as it has the most water in it. Bernie is in need of the Primal Defense Probiotic, Solid Gold Berry Balance, and Aspen Flexile Plus.
Thank you!!
MPBR, Edith, and Bernie

Brenna gets along with kids, cats, and dogs! She is a low energy dog. Brenna does like to play with the resident dog and go on walks with her foster family. She is crate trained, potty trained, and knows general house manners.
If you have room on your couch, time to dedicate to a dog, and room in your heart Brenna may be the girl for you!
It is going to be a beautiful day outside. Get out with your dog and do some exploring.

This little green doughnut doesn't even have a mark on it, despite some good ol' fashioned puppy-gusto chewing.
Any of your dogs enjoy a goughnut too?

Ellie's Puppies 4.17.15
Happy Friday!
The only thing that can make this day better is puppies and momma running to their foster mom. So Sweet!
Special shout out to their foster mom and dad for taking in Ellie and her puppies. We are incredibly lucky and thankful to have them on board. It is not an easy task to take care them for 8 weeks.

Dog to Dog Aggression
Dog to Dog Aggression
"Dog tolerance comes from a blend of nature and nurture and is influenced by a dog's genetics, socialization, training and owner management ... not "How he was raised." You ultimately hold the key to your dog's success with other dogs." ~Bad Rap
We so often hear that people want a puppy because they don't want a dog aggressive dog, they would return a dog if it became dog aggressive, dog aggression is a myth and the list goes on.
We want people to fully understand that dog aggression happens and if you are adopting a dog you need to be prepared to deal with it. Bad Rap has a great article on understanding dog tolerance levels around other dogs.
Check out their whole website, it full of GREAT information!

Same/Opposite Sex Dog Households
Did you know that we typically do not adopt same sex dog households? (male/male or female/female)
We do this because opposite sex dog households tend to have less issues/fighting than same sex dog households.
http://badrap.org/training-resources/multi-dog-homes
Just one of our rules to strive toward success in multiple dog households.
Below is Bernie (white paw) and his foster brother George (resident dog in foster home). Bernie is available for adoption!

Welcome Ellie!
Ellie came into animal control as a stray. Shortly after entering animal control she gave birth to 8 puppies. This is Ellie's first and last litter. She is about a year old. Ellie does great with cats and dogs. She was pretty skinny when we picked her up so we are working on getting weight back on her.
Ellie's puppies will make their appearance later today so stay tuned!
