The newest bunch 6.25.15

We are pleased to introduce you to eight very lucky puppies! We will have individual pictures and personalities up soon. They are 11 weeks old. All eight puppies need an individual Sponsor to cover their vetting and to NAME them. smile emoticon
"MPD recently responded to an animal abuse report. Found 8 Pit puppies in a small kennel covered in feces and in poor health. We share this to show the types of conditions that "some" (don't go nuts here...we said some, not all) conditions that some puppies are raised in. Please... Have you pet spayed or neutered. There is no reason for this to happen. You will notice the two last pics... one is before a bath and the last after the bath...the dogs were surrendered by the owner's and they were both cited for animal abuse. The dogs will eventually go to a Pit Rescue in the Metro. MPD has had over 11 calls to this residence for other animal complaints... typically lose dogs.. in the last 2 years. All animals, including cats, must be registered with the city. All animals, including cats, but be restrained." Montevideo FB page







Some pictures from when we picked them up at animal control:

Mom, we're getting a puppy... a Pit Bull. Advocacy. 6.15.15

We promote training every chance we get and require it with the adoption of one of our dogs. Why? Because YOU on the other end of the leash are now an advocate for the breed and one bad or good pittie can change or reinforce someone's whole perception of the breed.
Avaqyn Acres has some great classes coming up including Obedience 101, Canine Good Citizen (CGC), Rally, and Raw/Natural Feeding.
http://avaqynacres.com/reservations/index.html
"The one thing I will tell you, as I'm sure every pit bull parent can probably reassure – I did not exactly choose advocacy. Based on the type of dog we now had, I was involved in advocating for the "pit bull", like it or not." - See more at: https://positively.com/contributors/mom-were-getting-a-puppy-a-pit-bull/#sthash.YnNQHSXB.dpuf

Dog in a HOT Parked Car? 6.14.15

Well, summer is officially here. You know that angry feeling you get when you see someone has left a dog in their car unattended? While your first instinct may be to break the window, take a moment to think it through first.

Diego 6.13.15

Diego, 12 week old male. 

Note from his foster momma- he's been a dream to have around. He loves walking and has taken to a leash like a pro... he's sleeping thru the night on most nights and is a very skilled cuddler! He's on his way to becoming a great grown-up doggie!

ACL Surgery 6.9.15

ACL Surgery: 

We have heard many times how expensive this surgery is, thankfully we have not had to do it yet. Through one of our great adopters/fosters we have learned about Small Town Veterinary Practice in Webster, WI. They do the whole works for $1200. Pretty amazing as we have heard of quotes $2500+ at some places. 

What is ACL and how does it happen?
