Nah, Sarge isn't wearing a wig :P I was holding him on his back like a baby, and his legs were stretched out. That's the fur on the underside of his arms.

Lol, and I'd love to keep writing adopted after the names . Yep, Tia was definitely a new experience. I've seen a few Neos in the past, but this was my first time working with one.

LOL! No, as HB said, those are his furry legs . He was admittedly a bit stained in some areas, he just needs a good pro grooming session.

OH YOU KNOW WHAT?! I was going to say something before, but I forgot! lol

A while ago I was contacted by the owner of a dog that got adopted out of our shelter! He was a corgi/pit bull mix named "Mark". Funny looking dog! Head and look of a pittie, but body was short legs and long body! Looked like a short/long pittie. Do you remember him?

Mark! I loved that dog!! Heh, he is always my example of an odd mix. How'd his owners find you?

He sounds like my Mahalo; she's a Corgi/Malamute. She looks just like a Malamute, but with short legs.

Hey were are those new dogs? That's always the good time of the week.lol

I've seen your Mahalo, it was a pretty similar outcome .

Here they are! I forgot my camera once so I'm a little behind. Here are the little beauties. It's actually going to take two posts to get them all in.

Names:

Olive (adopted!), Prancer (adopted!), Donna, Leona, and three no names.

[Dakota Spirit]

Continued...

Names:

Sammy, no name (adopted!), Nick (he's deaf - but adopted!), Annie (adopted!), no name, and another no name - though he looks a lot like another GSP we had in named Dolf.

OHHHH you made my day once again.

They are all so beautiful. Your rescue get's in a lot of different looking dogs! I'm so glad to see so many adopted ones! Thank you for posting these. I've been sick all day so this was good!!

[digits mama]

Merry Christmas to your shelter dogs....Im seeing the word Adopted! and it makes me smile.

They searched "corgie/pitbull" and found a picture I posted of Mark, now Durango, and PM'ed me. Funny thing is the owner now isn't the original people who adopted him from the shelter.

I don't know if you remember, but the guy who adopted him was a youngish (Early 20's-Late teens) and still lived with his mother (she came there to adopt him). Didn't think that would last And it didn't. Guy moved, left Mark with his mother. The mother just abandoned him somewhere. Funny thing a vet the mother took her other dog (and owed money apparently ) was the one who found Mark. Called the mother (microchip), mother didn't want him, so they tried adopting him out. Didn't work, no one wanted him cause he was pittie. So someone who worked there took him! That's the person who contacted me


Oh, how did the Pit bull forum go?

Lol . Yeah, we are the largest shelter in the state and one of the only ones in my area...so we get a good majority of the surrendered and stray animals. Plus I haven't noticed any real heavy breed trends. You see the typical Labs and Goldens but there is also a multitude of the another breeds represented.

-sigh- Well I'm glad his new home seems to be a good one. He was a good dog but very strong. He's better off in a home with someone that didn't adopt him purely on the fact that he was part APBT.

The forum actually went pretty well. Bullseye came (with a canine representative ) and spoke a bit on the history of the breed + what has landed them in their current position. Then it was open comment for anyone to speak. One of the things I liked best was that several "converted APBT enthusiasts" attended and related their stories of originally hating the breed only to change sides. One lady even had an APBT service dog. There were a lot of people that were really passionate and no real haters, though a few did express their concern over dealing with the breed. I think there was mention of follow up meetings as well.

Lol, Teddie has plenty of pics. I'm sure she wouldn't mind sharing once she sees this .

That's cool! I think I already mentioned this, but we get mostly bullies and lab mixes. Any Bully is a favorite of mine so.. it's no problem. I'd really like to see a Neapolitan Mastiff now that I saw that pretty girl you posted, but we would never get her adopted out here. lol So I guess it's for the best that we don't..

Of course. I already sent her a PM with a link to the pictures..I can't resist a chance to show off pictures of my babies.

That's great to hear so many people came!! I'm really glad to hear it went pretty well! I wish I could have made it.

With Mark, I completely agree with you! He was a very good dog, but VERY strong willed and just strong! I'm just glad he found a home that suits him better

And I saw the pics of the Mal/Corgi! SO cute!! lol

Lol, I'd be in heaven with the Bullies as well. Though we do get our fair share in this area, it's only recently that anyone has been allowed to work with them. Needless to say, I get my hands on as many as possible .

Yeah, Mastiffs are a lot of fun. Especially when they are convinced that they are the perfect lap dog. The rumors regarding drool are no joke though. Every time Tia shook her head the drool was flying. How could they wouldn't be adopted? Breed stereotypes?

-nods- Me too. I remember being surprised at how strong he was for a little short legged dog.

I think that was to be the first in several Pit meetings so perhaps you can make it to the future ones.

Mahalo is indeed a cutie .

Haha over the past year I find myself getting drawn towards the adult bullies that come in. I still get hooked by some of the pups, but the bullies have to be my favorite. Ziggy(adopted) as my favorite dog of all times when I was at adoptions. It was nice to see him get adopted.

It's hard enough to get a 60-80 pound dog adopted, just because so many people want those little lap dogs. While I love Ted with all my heart the huge dogs are always better for me. I love being able to bear hug them . We have an ABD and I don't see him geting adopted and he doesn't even drool that much. No matter how much I love them not everyone does. Everyone wants the 1-3 pound dogs..

[Georgpl]

Our two girls, both came from shelters and we wouldn't trade them for the world.

[RopingBarrels]

Beautiful photos! The dogs are all so lovely. It's so saddening to see how many dogs are in shelters. It truely breaks my heart. I love looking at your pictures though!

-nods- I know what that's like. I don't know if you read any of the stuff I posted on Kelsey but I ended up getting really really attached - just one of the dogs that calls to your I guess. She didn't make it (her health just slowly went out the window until their was no point anymore) but those are the ones you don't forget.

Ah, that's too bad. I always cringe a bit when people as "When do you get the little dogs in?" I don't mind adopting out little dogs - I just don't like it when people treat us like a pet shop.

Beautiful dogs, Georgpl

Thanks Roping


New pictures coming soon...

[Dakota Spirit]

Alright, here are some oldies that I don't think I've shared yet.
