ANOTHER?

 

Rescue has been busy. We took in Marlowe and the bonded black Pekes.  Now I’m working on this beauty.  Sometimes we help by taking them in as fosters. Sometimes we are able to connect people to find a new home.    

Between rescue and unpacking, my dogs needed attention. I brushed Dickens a lot. He came w almost no hair and now he has SO much hair. We were outside because he can have a lot come out during brushing.  Hair was sticking to the deck, flying in the air, sticking to my clothes and tickling my nose.  

I groomed Piper and Paddington who both needed hair trims.  After we finished, they went back to guarding the yard. Deer show up often, usually early or later.  The boys have seen many, so now they wait.  

Tuk Tuk takes on deer seriously!   If one jumps the fence into his yard, he’s flying, barking all the way. That deer sprang over that fence in a flash. 

Dickens can’t see them.  And he doesn’t really care. He’s not a fighter. He just wants me and his toy.  Life for him is good.  

I’ll keep you updated if/when we get the new boy.  🐾

MARLOWE’S NEXT ADVENTURE

Marlowe was w me for five days and yesterday, he was off to his foster home.  

During his five days here, I found he was the highest leg lifter I’ve seen. 😂. I found that he was having accidents but he also had a bladder infection.  Ouch. Belly bands are in use.  

Winters mom came to get Marlowe yesterday.  She was thrilled to meet him and got right on his level.  He responded so well.  He could see the love right away. 

Over he rolled for a tummy rub. 

Then he walked a little.  He does like walks!   

After visiting for a while, it was time to head to his foster home.  He was going to meet Winter and Todd!  

Marlowe and Todd had to check each other out and I think they liked each other.  Marlowe made so many new friends this week!  Piper, Paddington, Cinnamon, Dickens, and Gwennie- the Camp Runamuck gang. 😍

Marlowe will be set up for a neuter and probably a dental. All his labs were done at my vet. He’ll soon be ready for his forever home.  New life continues.  

 

BUSY BUSY

I’ve been moving and it’s almost done. The house goes on the market this week.   BUT rescue doesn’t stop no matter how busy you are. 

The owner of this bonded pair passed away so they needed help.  Both girls are adorable and small.  They went to a foster to adopt home yesterday.  (I use a list of approved adopters who have already submitted applications.) 

Marlowe goes to his foster home today.  He’s just over 10 pounds and needs to gain weight. We can help him do that.  

He belonged to a woman so I thought he’d like me best.  But he loves my husband. 😍. There’s another Peke in need so I’ll work on that today.   We’ll need to do a fundraiser because some have needed or will need extensive care.  It’s what we do.  I get to love so many of them- even if it’s only for a little while at my house. 

And I have the best foster homes.  Thank you to all who have made rescue possible!  

 

WELCOME TO RESCUE

We just took in a bonded pair.  They are under ten pounds.  Yesterday was BUSY so I’ll post more later. They are safe and will begin their new life now. 

We are contemplating new names.  We found out they were both girls so we need girl names.  They are on their way to their foster home today. They need medical help especially for their breathing.  We are not taking applications at this time   

Welcome to rescue little ones!! 
 

NONO NOELLE

NONO

Nono (Noelle) was in the second group of the Christmas rescue. 

She was tiny and it took months for her digestive system to work well. When a dog is malnourished, healing takes time. She also had no hair on her back or chest. 

She’s still a small one but look at her now.  So healthy!! 

It looks like she is posing for us. 🥰 she is beautiful. 

She was very timid and still likes her people only. It’s ok. She has a family for life. 🐾😍
 

WELCOME MARLOWE

Marlowe came to us because his owner could no longer take care of him because of her physical health. 

When I met Marlowe yesterday, I was taken w how sweet he was.   He was full of energy and ready to go. 

I let him meet mine through the fence.  They all did fine. 

Even Paddington did well. 

He loved Gwennie and Cinnamon. 

“Want to be my friend?”  Gwennie is a little shy 

He jumped right on the couch and chair. He’s wearing a belly band because I’m not sure if he’s house trained.  

Marlowe is 8 years old and 12 pounds (he could gain a little).  He will be neutered and have a dental and then will be ready for adoption.  

We adopt in the Maryland/Virginia and require a home visit and a vet check

KRINGLE OF THE CHRISTMAS RESCUE

Kringle just had a summer groom. He’s so handsome.  He has the LONGEST tongue.  It just won’t all fit in his mouth. 

He came in the second group along w Winter, Missy/Mistletoe and Dickens. He was 13.6 pounds but he’s a big boy so he was underweight. His body score was 1/9 which means “severely underweight.”  He and Dickens were so similar. Like the rest, he had been flea infested. 

Kringle gained weight- okay maybe a little too much so he’s on a diet. His hair grew in gloriously.  Don’t you want to run your fingers through it?!

Kringle is an older boy.  Maybe 13?   He loves his walks.  He is a healthy and very loved boy. 🥰
