Ava and Motley
Ava came to us months ago with no, none, zero dog skills. She seemed very hesitant and not knowing what to do so she would simply ignore another dog. We worked Motley out with some of his other playmates til he was a bit tired out and did about a dozen sessions where he and Ava would just hang out together. We had a break thru with little Ava, finally! We got to see a little silly goofy girl finding her playful side. This was a huge boost to us. We never pressure the dogs to interact, we want the dogs to have appropriate exposure, always respecting their thresholds and it paid off big time for Ava and Motley. She will need a home where a resident dog will respect she needs time to unravel and find her fun.
**Also, much credit, love and good boy to Motley who showed such great patience with Ava, he truly has amazing dog skills and smarts.....sometimes with the smarts haha. Such a fun young boy.
Teddy Time
Racheal and her partner Ryan got into a lazy bit of Teddy chewing.
Ryan and Racheal are two wonderful dogs that we had the pleasure of helping over a year ago. They came in as skeletons, bodies caved in and emaciated. We have over double their weights, cared for their wounds, and gave Racheal much needed eye surgery for horrendous cherry eye in both eyes.
We would love to find them a home together knowing that’s a huge ask, huge as in they are huge too!
Big Teddy
We let our majestic beasts have a turn with the big Teddy. Racheal in black is a stuffy slayer and we expected a lot more fluff to be flying but maybe she’s just warming up. But it gives you an idea of just how big this teddy is! 13 little dogs crawling all over it in the video we posted a few weeks ago or Racheal who weighs in at a glorious 102 pounds. Enjoy and the happiest of Thanksgivings to all, especially our amazing team of volunteers who have been giving up a bit of their holiday weekend to ensure the dogs get lots of love and attention. 💕
Big Teddy!
We have been having such a great time getting to know our 13 small dawgs. Volunteer Stacey had donated this giant teddy bear a few months ago and we set it aside with no real plan for it as with a giant Teddy, comes a giant amount of fluff to pick up! We dragged it out for the smalls today and man, we were not disappointed, even the wind couldn’t damper their joy and minds were blown! Enjoy!
Little Dawgs
We’ve been overwhelmed with the newest additions to our program. So many adorable babes needing baths, nail trims, love, cuddle seshs and all we can give. Interested in fostering?, we would love to hear from you!
