Did you know that the Central Asian Village Dog of Nepal and Mongolia is the oldest living dog on earth? It is the ancestor to every breed dog that has ever been bred by humans. This was discovered in a scientific study conducted by Cornell University and funded in part by National Geographic. Local dogs are the strongest and most diverse dog breed on the planet and have been for as many as 15 thousand years. These animals are incredible and deserve respect.

Update on Namche from ‘Namche Bazaar!

You might remember that Kaylan Marie Morley asked for help to get a stray dog out of the mountains 1.5 years ago. He was a street dog living in Namche Bazaar, a high elevation village on the route to Everest Base Camp. Kaylan met him on her way to Everest and she was determined to help him.

We had a small window of time before the lodges closed up and winter set in, which would make it next to impossible to get him out. We looked at many options for his rescue. The final decision was to send Prakash there. He hiked the two-day trek from Lukla in one day, with an increase in elevation of over 1000 meters! Namche had been corralled, with all of the other street dogs, into the worlds highest dog shelter. While they’ve done their best with good intent, you could arguably describe it as a confinement camp for dogs, with no vet care.

After retrieving Namche, Prakash took a Jeep back to Kathmandu where Namche had a stay at KAT centre before moving into foster care with the wonderful Arjanne Rietsema, where he thrived.

It took us almost a year to move Namche to his home outside of Seattle with Kaylan. Now that he’s there he is living a beautiful life.

Kaylan sent this picture taken today. He visited the dog park for the first time and he did great! He was friendly and gentle with humans and animals. His big brother Eggroll has been a patient teacher, and his mom Kaylan has been generous, patient and resilient. All of this has paid off in spades for lucky Namche.

Hooray! 💕

Who is gonna LOVE this baby to bits?

Our beautiful local girl KODA from Wasauksing First Nation has been living it up in southern Ontario at an incredible foster home. She’s ready to move into her forever home now.

KODA has such a beautiful personality. She’s gentle and playful, and she loves to be at the centre of her pack or resting nearby her humans. She also likes cats.

Message if you’d like a hiking biking walking and cuddling companion. KODA will be the perfect all round dog at 4.5 years young. She’s overcome the puppy terrors and has settled into being a fantastic companion animal that still has plenty of energy.

KODA is represented by Temple Dog Rescue. [email protected]

Wow wow wow. This group is so powerful. I have more special news for two more dogs.

ADOPTED

♥️ Who will give the gift of love this holiday season? ♥️

One year old Dasma needs a family and he sure is hoping that’s you! Dasma is a big gentle boy who doesn’t know his own size. He’s about 55lbs now. He thinks he’s a lap dog and he loves to cuddle up and do whatever you’re doing.

He’s healthy and sweet with good manners. He likes other dogs and cats, and people of all sizes too.

Dasma came into our care with his Mom, Koda a 4.5 year old female. They were surrendered due to financial and health reasons by their previous owner.

He’s seeking the security of a place to call home, where he knows he’s with his people, and he can relax into the rest of his wonderful life. ♥️ Is his home with you?

♥️ A Home for Christmas! ♥️

Who will give this beautiful girl the gift of a home for Christmas!? Her name is Koda and she’s 4.5 years old. Koda didn’t have a great start, by the time she was 1 she was having babies that were sold.

In spite of all that she’s very sweet and loving. She’s a quiet dog that likes to be around her people, just quietly sitting by in her favourite soft doggie bed.

She is polite and well mannered with a sweet disposition. She loves to be called a good girl. It’s probably the thing that makes her happiest.

Please will you give Koda a loving home to call her own this holiday season?

Thanks all and Merry Christmas!
