DOGS AND GLASSES

Dogs can use glasses for many reasons.  Some like them to keep sun out of their eyes.  
Fresia’s mom thought she should have a glamour shot w sunglasses on. Love her eye shadow.  Her glasses are strictly for show.  🤩
Her sister, Scout, wears glasses during her laser treatment. 
It protects her eyes which is essential.  
Dickens had laser treatment, too.  Every so often, he needs a treatment even though I still do his therapy at home. 
Scout said, “Forget the goggles. I’m into !”  She does look adorable.   
Share pictures of your dogs w glasses on. 😎

WASABI—ANOTHER ADOPTION

Do you remember the blog I did to help another rescue?  Here it is. 
They had taken in a pair who had been brought to a vet to be euthanized.  Their owner couldn’t take care of them and their caretaker took them to the vet. 
Wasabi was one of them.  His sister Cashmere was adopted, they were better apart.  
One of our board members saw Wasabi’s picture.  It was instant love.   She was able to adopt Wasabi and he has joined our PVPC family. 😀.  I am planning to meet him in the next month or so. I can’t wait. 
Finley, her current dog, is thinking on how he feels about this.  He says he will have to think on it while he naps. 
Wasabi is so sweet and he loves his new family. He is loving his toys. His new dad adores him. 
I love when rescues can help each other.  Wasabi is a lucky and loved boy.  Welcome to your new life. 🥰

DICKENS’ FOREVER HOME

 DICKENS 

Dickens was in the second group of the Christmas pups.  He came about January 3.  

He was incredibly thin when he came.  There were four in that group.   Dickens, Mistletoe, Winter, and Fizziwig (not in the picture).  Dickens has no fat on his body.  
They stayed in a pile as they figured out what life was going to be.  They began to relax and realize they were safe and loved.  

As others went to foster homes and forever homes, Dickens stayed here.  
He had health issues-- his eyes needed special care, he couldn't walk at first (and I still do therapy with him), he needed to absorb nutrients (which is hard when the digestive tract is compromised).   He did gain weight after a few months.  
We continue to work on his skin, and we have made progress.  It is something we will continue to work on.   He gets antibiotics and a cytopoint shot today.  
He is so good about baths and blowing him dry.   He is good about all his eye meds.  
He is not aggressive, even when Paddington tries to take his toy.  (Paddington got it but then found another, which made Dickens very happy.)
As Dickens has been here over 8 months and we continue to work on his health needs, we made a decision.   Dickens will stay here as a permanent foster.  
Many people won't consider a special needs boy, but I adore him.  He's fine right here. 

He gets along with all my dogs and he is part of the family here.  So Dickens-- WELCOME HOME!

MISSY MISTLETOE’S NEW HOME

Missy Mistletoe has been in her new home for two weeks. 
She likes to sit behind her mom, Ida, on the desk chair- just like she did here.   She kept trying to take more and more space.  Ida is sitting on the edge. 😂. I feel her pain. 
Taz is so happy he has a new sister.  He was mourning the loss  of his doggy friends but now his joy is returning. 
They are often together.  Just hanging out.  Taz loves that. 
Missy has relaxed there and is a mama’s girl. Her dad, Jim, is hand feeding her and trying to win her over.  But Missy is a girls’ girl and I think her mom will always be first. 
Missy and Taz like sitting together and guarding the street.  Good job kids! 
Missy now has a wonderful and loving home.  I miss her but she’s in her forever home. That’s what we want for all of them. 💕

MANDY ADOPTED

Mandy was adopted this weekend.  
It’s official.  She has a new name tag w her phone number on it!   
She met her 5 year old and 14 year old new sisters. 
Look at the sweet smile there.  Makes me want to kiss her.   Faith is 14 and you know I love the old ones. 
When they were getting ready for bed, Mandy jumped on the bed!  Wow.  She was already fitting in. 💕  Chenny the Tibetan is about the same age at Mandy.  They will all  be great friends!
She found a spot and laid down. 
Looks like this is the perfect home for her.  That’s always our goal.  Welcome to your new home Mandy. 😍

Emmi was adopted from us.  She was an older girl who had been abandoned.  Her forever parents are awesome and know how to handle her little spitfire temperament. 😜. 
She says happy Sunday!

A VISIT W REGGIE

Guess who I saw yesterday!   Reggie! 😍
He was adopted 5 years ago as a puppy.  He is so sweet!  
He visited my vet for a check up. He thought my vet was wonderful. Look how relaxed he was. 
She loved him too. 

He had a laser treatment. They both had their special glasses on. 
He was such a good boy.  Everyone loved him. 🥰

MAGGIE AND SAMMY

 I met another foster mom on line and she shared her two foster dogs with me.   

Maggie is black and her best friend is Sammy.  They are a 7 year old bonded pair.  

Maggie is 13 pounds and shy at first meeting, but then she is a bundle of energy.  

Who could resist this face?!   She loves to play fetch and chase critters in the yard.   
Sammy is bigger at about 18 pounds.  He and his sister love walks and do well with others.   
They are both almost house trained.   :-)  
They need a family without children as they are just not sure about them.   
Their foster mom said, "All they want is love, food and walks.  They are amazingly well behaved, never get into anything and are happy to sleep at my feet."

They go to the coffee shop with their mom and love the attention they receive.  I'm sure they receive a lot of it!

They are a beautiful, fluffy pair and would like a quiet place to live their lives.  They are okay with calm dogs and dog savvy cats.  They would like for their human to be home most of the day.  They are available as a pair-- they are very affectionate with each other.  

If you are interested, please contact me and I will pass your information along.  You can also fill out an application at: browndogcoalition.com/adoption

You must be able to get them in Massachusetts, but they would be worth it!
