A Different Breed Adoption Pictures

TeddieXRuxpin · 02-02-2008, 07:04 PM

I can't seem to find my old adoption thread so I guess this will be the last thread I make..I'm going to have to save the link so I can find it next time.

Well today was a very busy day for us. We had A Different Breed, The City of Dallas and also Oak Hill dogs with us. I didn't get pictures of all the dogs, but quite a few. It was a very crazy day. Every week I go to an adoption I'll post pictures, so keep checking back.

First up is Starsky a Bull Terrier mix, about 8 months old and a great dog. I would have spent my whole day with him if I could have. He is such a free spirit! His ears are so HUGE!

Fizz is such a funny dog both his underbite and personality! He tried so hard to give a poise expression, but that underbite stopped him everytime.

Dexter has had a hard life and it's only started. He was picked up off the street by the city with a hurt back leg. He doesn't seem to use it much but gets along just fine. When I tried to pick him up he wasn't to happy, but after a bath and some TLC he melted my heart and I think I did the same to him.

Copper a little Boxer mix was born with both eyes, but has already lost one. I don't know his whole story, but he's a sweet heart. He just wants in your lap.. a big lap dog to come.

Denver is a Aussie/maybe Border Collie mix also with the city. He's full of energy and a goof ball. His markings were so different. He wasn't to happy about the camera.

These two pups Dakota and (I think) Ranger were brought in today for a trade..A foster passed to another foster...they're going to be a huge handful. I'm thinking their some type of Akita mix or maybe Husky.
Dakota

Ranger

I had another shave victim today..*Shakes head* a Cocker Spaniel mix who was an owner surrender. He was just one huge mat underside and all; so my job was to get them off. Which I didn't mind, but you could tell he wasn't a fan at all. You know how much one mat hurts let alone his entire body. After working on him for 2 hrs I had his lower back, one leg and underside cut. I felt so bad for him, but one of our good fosters took him home so he didn't have to go back to the city.

Ebony my big baby. Everyone seems to think she's mean; when really she couldn't be more sweet. I tried to get a few pictures of her where she didn't look mean and tough and I think these are about as nice as she can possibly look. I love her face!

TeddieXRuxpin · 02-02-2008, 07:23 PM

Afew more of Ebony since she's so pretty..

That's all for now. I should have more next weekend. Take care everyone!

Teddie thanks for sharing all these wonderful photos with us(its strange as you look at each dog a story unfolds) you should be so proud of what you do as these poor dogs deserve all the love and attention you and your team give them.My favourite is the dog with the underbite he's comical.lol.

Teddie....How cool...You and Dakota make my day with shelter pics.

The cocker looks so much like Digit. When I saw him my heart dropped. Im still on search mode i think.

You know these days my my week! I can just get away for a few hours and it really does help. Sometimes the days just end to fast.

Fizz is so adorable! He reminds me of Billy Bob Thorton in Slingblade, in the cutest way possible.

It's funny that most of the dogs people don't pay any attention to at adoptions are the ones everyone loves when I post pictures of.

I always want to see the dogs again, but at the same time I really don't. I want them to go to a great home. It just stinks we wont see them again..

Dakota Spirit · 02-02-2008, 10:35 PM

Tsk tsk, Teddie...always losing your topics

. That's ok, the "Find Topics by This Member" button isn't working so I keep losing mine as well.

....and I'm pretty much in love with Starsky.

.....and Ebony.

Lol I know...*hangs head*...I went through all of my posts and couldn't find it.

So i'm saving the link to this one so I wont be loosing it again.

I always have at least two favorites of the week; Starsky and Fizz were my two this weekend. Ebony is there every week so I picked two new favorites. So many people see her as this really mean dog and she really isn't. She hates cats, but she is a really nice dog. She really doesn't like the camera so it made getting a good picture hard.

Ebony just has a very dignified face. I think people look at that combined with her breed and thing "Uhoh". Personally, I think she's a very pretty girl though

LOL Fizz reminds me of Oliver, who does not remind me of Billy Bob Thorton. I didn't see slingblade though so who knows. LOL I love the undignified under bite. I have a few rather stuck up breed people who take every opportunity to let me know that Oliver's tooth is sticking out again. LOL He had a broken jaw and only one side sticks out further then the other. Oh well, I love him as he is. I believe it is things like that that give an animal character. People too actually. LOL Ebony is beautiful too. I think she is one of those tough looking girls that ends up having such a soft heart and surprising you. LOL She had very pretty eyes.

She is a tough looking girl, but she's just a huge baby. She is strong and I just cringe at the sight of people that don't know her taking her out on a skinny leash.

Lets just say they don't like me running up to them all the time lol.

Hey nobody is perfect.

I personally love underbites; I smiled everytime I saw Fizz yesterday. Undignified is the word I was looking for because it explain his look in a nutshell!

Today was so nice outside and we had a flood gate of people show up. It was a fun yet exhausting day. Some people really still amaze me at the quesions and remarks they throw at us. Stupid covers then..I don't have a problem explaining stuff over and over, but we had so many anti-pit bull people come in I just had to keep my mouth shut. EHHH..*deep breath*

PICTURE OVER LOAD!
Sugar is so loyal about coming up we need to find a good home for her!

And what she does best..any toy you give her plastic, stuffed, rubber, she will chew it apart in under two minutes. She never eats it, but it's like her way to take out frustration. We've had to many bad apps on her.

Jelly Bean is still with us and has been hard to place. Once they get big it takes years before we can find a home.

Matty from last week is also back. It's funny I spent hours cutting the mats out of his fur and his foster took him home, gave him a bath, and brushed him. Now all the mats are gone and he has a funny hair cut...go figure. lol His eyes refelcted, but he looks handsome. He hates the camera.

*More*

TeddieXRuxpin · 02-09-2008, 08:24 PM

Cookie is new with us. She was found as a stray and gave birth to one puppy. Pore thing is so small (I call those rat dogs..lol). She was terrified and didn't know what to do. She has a promising app with a lady who already has a Rat Terrier. Cookie didn't want to leave her and this lady didn't want to leave her either. They are meant to be! The worst part is she has an over bite and makes her look like a certain rodent..she was sweet, but to small for me. I just new she was going to break.

Bree a full blooded Rottie(small) was with us today. She is new and a doll! She loves dogs and wants to be in everyones buissness. She is such a good dog.

We had an adult Lab/Weimeriner named Rosy. It was wierd because she looked nothing like the litter we have..

*MORE*

TeddieXRuxpin · 02-09-2008, 08:28 PM

I'm upset with the people that named these two pups..My real name is Dakota and she named them Dakota and Ranger. So my sister went up today and kept saying "Dakota SIT!" etc.. it was funny, but my neck hurts from not knowing if they were talking about the dog or me.. : )
Ranger (Top), Dakota(bottom)

There are only 3 lab/Weim pups left; all black, two boys one girl. The biggest boy (Pinstripe) is going into another foster home to be adopted. They are so big!
Look how tall!

*MORE*

Dakota Spirit · 02-09-2008, 08:30 PM

Ooh, gorgeous dog overload. I love Bree, especially in the 2nd picture. And Jelly Bean, of course

. Are you sure that Cookie is a Rat Terrier? I have a Rattie and Cookie looks more like a Chihuahua in my eyes.

I noticed you guys seem to get a lot of Weim mixes. It's so weird how there are different trends in different areas. We get hardly any Weims here.

ETA: THe Sibe mixes are lovely as well. Lol, I didn't know your name was Dakota

TeddieXRuxpin · 02-09-2008, 08:35 PM

We still have the fluffy puppies; that I need to get around to posting the mom pictures of both litters. Teddy got an app today and the others have some interest. For some reason black dogs really are hard to find home.
Teddy:

Patti..cutie with a nub

Tyler..funny ears

I thought I'd add in that a collie came to visit.

If you remember I posted a while ago about a bull terrier mix named Pearl who was deaf. She got adopted and her new parents came back to visit us. They have adopted another deaf dogs ant they get a long super!!

Well that's it for now. Take care everyone and more pictures to come next week!

Hah and you posted before I was even done..there are more!! lol.

Besides the pups we haven't had any others. I just keep posting up dates on them; they're the same dogs. Rosy was a surprise! And Cookie is a chihuahua I just meant she already has a Rat Terrier at home..sorry for that confusion.

Yeah I never really liked my name and everyone names their dogs that now.

*coughs* YOU *coughs*. So I like to go by something different.
