Lucky came back too. (rollseyes) He started having stress diarrhea and they just couldn't deal with it since they're gone at work. He had no health problems and wasn't/isn't sick. He was in a new environment, new food, people, two other dogs. Now he's back at his fosters and is fine.

Teddy, those are some adorable little faces. That little girl that was dropped off is so cute.

Hope they all find forever homes soon.

Oh, btw, Britches says the pink halter makes him look like a sissy...

[Inga]

Teddie, I am just amazed at all the cute little small dogs. I mean, so many folks say they cannot get a small dog in rescue. How is that you have so many? And cute little designer dogs too. Hopefully they all get a good loving home that all dogs deserve. Hopefully, very very soon too.

You know we didn't use to have as many but we've been pulling a lot more pound dogs. Most being small dogs because they DO go so fast. Last year it was a lot more pits, shepherds, terriers, labs..etc. However this year shih tzus, chihuahuas, poodles, JRT are huge. It's weird.

Yeah well, with as many as those byb and millers are pumping out you will be seeing a lot more of them being dumped too. Unfortunately NO BREED is immune to the irresponsible owners of the world. We are seeing more and more here as well and many being pts because of the temperaments or health issues. very very sad. God Bless you again for doing all that you do for these puppies.

Lol thanks Inga! It rubs me the wrong way everytime we have a new dog. Most when it's small or a bully.

And thank you.

Can you ship Mac up to Boston? I'd be happy with him!

[cvcraven]

Everytime I see Britches I want him more and more! Wow, I wish you were in Florida!

[MyCharlie]

Great pics again Teddie! They're all so cute. Did any of them find homes this weekend?

He's getting to be a huge pig dog! Never did grow out of that. And yes that is a pink paw printed harness..he's grown out of Teddie's Nylon harness (it was only a matter of time) so this was out substitue for the day. Everyone asked about this little GIRL...I'm getting him a new one some time this week. Look at those pretty white teeth!

I am completely in love with Britches lol

Thank you Sam! Peanut went home with the lady with the Powder Puff. They made a great match. I really hope that works out.

Lol I wish I did I would have snatched him up the minute I seen him

[TeddieXRuxpin]

Wow! I haven't been on here and it looks like I've missed quite a bit. Even some new members with adorable fur kids.

Where do I even start when it comes to the adoption this past weekend? Saturday I got there a little early and set Britches up in the very best crate (right next to the door) there is no way he could be missed when he's the first dog you see when you walk in. Shortly after when one of our other fosters showed I left with her and went off to Dallas Animal Services. * shoots self in foot*

Now; I've pulled dogs from them before since they moved to the bigger shelter, but I left holding my tears so I didn't look like a huge sissy. This new shelter holds over 400+ large dogs, another section for smaller dogs and then a good few hundred cats and kittens. I went with "D" (I wont put her name in here just cause) to help since she does this on a regular basis. We get calls and emails full of he "do list"; the dogs that have a set number of hours left before they are euthanized. We ended up pulling four smaller dogs, knowing they will get adopted with in a short amount of time. As sad as that is it comes down to who you can save, but also who can you get adopted back out.

The number of faught pits, abandoned and negelcted puppies, sick cats, and dogs struggling to survive was beyond my state of mind. This shelter euthanizes between 80 and 100 pets a day. A DAY! The fact I don't/wont volunteer with this shelter breaks my heart. All I could do was pet or scratch their heads, blow kisses, and tell them what such great babies they were. It was miserable. On top of that seeing people drop off a healthy pet (a pit of all dogs when there are a good 250 out of the 400+ that are pits) that is terrified I about lashed out on them. Instead I stood back and kept my mouth shut. Ugh.

To get to the better part of the day..
My ALL time favorite at this adoption was a Lab/Pitty mix named Sasha. She has been with a foster I know well for 1 1/2 years recovering from demodectic mange. I'd heard all about her, but had never seen her before. She was a stray and picked up off the street when she was about 6 months old. Completely bald and pink from the mange. Now she has a gorgeous chocolaty coat and an outstanding perosnality! It was love at first sight. She made me smile all day long once I was back from DAS.

There is a Dirty Dogz next door to us and I know the girl that works there. I've taken her drinks, She lets me use some of the grooming stuff there on our rescues, and we talk all the time. Well I've always been to busy to go over and see her English Bull dog, Cara short for caremel, up close and play with her. So after I got back from DAS I went over and played with her a good 20 minutes. She's a complete clown in a super goofy body. She loves her mommy though! That's a fact lol
Watching her mama




Lupita is new with us. She was recently picked up off the street. Still coming out of her shell so I don't know her real personality. I know by next week she'll be a silly, outgoing, energy crazed pup.

I wasn't able to get pictures of everyone we pulled, but three out of four...
This is Ruben an adult male Chihuahua with a hilarious personality. The picture makes him look rather mean, but he isn't.


Godiva a little female Chihuahua with a princess inside; just waiting to burst through.


And Marcus, which we named after my mothers past Dachshund. We're not sure what he is, but his foster thinks Coton de Tulear mix..so I'm going more with Coton de Tulear/Dachshund mix. lol I had to hold him while my sister took his picture... He is a wiggle bum if I've ever seen one! When ever you hold him he seems to go into a (((I WUV YOU))) state...Although we did pull him from death so maybe it is a real state? lol

Oh Darla was there today. She is the mama of one of the litters that passed from Parvo. Poor girl was a fantastic mother and only wanted to do what was best. She loves all humans and every dog she comes in contact with.


Some of the bigger excitement happened right as we were returning from the shelter. Three volunteers caught two loose dogs in our parking lot. Of course no collars or info, but were very nice! They were clean, had just had their nails clipped, and were well fed. We knew they were owned. We posted limited information signs and about an hour after we had closed (My sister, myself, and another volunteer stayed late) two men came in. The girl from Dirty Dogz knows them and knew for a fact the adult was theirs. The other was a dog they were dog sitting, but the owner never came back. They were going to turn her into the city the next day. After a long lecture they returned home with their dog and we now have the younger one in foster.
Here is Mimi the adult Lab/Pit

And now renamed Trixie the younger female; she's a realy spit fire!

But the biggest, most exciting part of the day was when I was getting ready to leave. I brought Teddie in to meet Lucky (who if I didn't say last week) had been returned. He's also a Shih Tzu and around the same age as Ted also a male. They LOVED each other! I'm thinking about taking Ted up to stay next weekend and they can play all day.
Lucky alseep in his favorite spot; flat on his belly with his smooshed face in the corner of a crate.

Then Ted came in and they met

War danced

And went wild!

*JUST A LITTLE MORE*

[TeddieXRuxpin]

Two more..


And a video of them playing like wild children

[digits mama]

My favorite thread in the Whole World Right next to Dakotas...Hey...Where has she been?

I would take home Marcus and Darla in a heartbeat

Your story brought me to tears Ted...When I grow up..I want to be just like you.
