Fostering Boopsie
We have been priveleged to foster a couple of dogs this past year. Boopsie has been no exception to that great privilege. While it takes time from our schedule and much effort to acclimate a dog to our lives, the reward has been tenfold. We talk about the great transformation Boopsie has made over the last couple...
Basil’s Training
Basil is an energetic and powerful boy. During training he was very interested in exploring his surroundings. At the start of training it was clear that he has not had much training or human attention, and it took him a while to figure out the routine. By the end of training he started to figure the...
Boopsie is a cool dog
Boopsie (AKA Boo) has been trying to figure out the pool since she went to her foster home last week. She goes in the extended step and stretches her legs out to see where the water gets deep. She watches her foster sisters jump from the jacuzzi into the extended step. This week as the...
Fostering Kellie is Rewarding
We have had Kellie in our home for almost a month now. The first few days she laid on a pillow downstairs and would wag her tail when we walked by or talk to her. Then we saw her start to get excited when we got the leashes out to walk out the front door. ...
Kellie has Personality
Kellie is a great little personality. She doesn’t like to wake up too early in the morning. I believe that she thinks her foster family is crazy waking her up to go potty in the middle of a sound sleep. We’ve discovered her whole body wiggles and shakes when it is time to eat. She...
Kellie is Happy
Kellie’s tail wags all the time. She has just gone to a foster home where we are starting to get to know her better. Her tail never stops. Her tail goes a mile a minute as you walk by her across the room or as you pass her in the backyard. Our favorite was when...

Dog of the Week – Wilbur is a good boy!
Wilbur Trains Well – Wilbur does great in training. Young children and adults alike can easily work with him. One of our young volunteers, Paige, has worked with him in training the past two weeks. She is able to get him to sit and lay down very easily. He knows all of his commands and...
Featured Dog – Wilbur looking good!
Wilbur Cleans Up Nicely – Wilbur gets a bath from one of our young volunteers, Stephanie. He is cooperative, but not necessarily appreciative of the nice, clean coat. He does enjoy the extra attention, though! Wilbur recently lost quite a bit of weight and is enjoying his walks and hanging out with the other dogs...
