‼️Jerry still needs help‼️ 🥺
Jerry needs a new foster ASAP. His current foster family has encountered an unexpected urgent situation through no fault of their own and can't care for him much longer. Even if someone can foster him for just a week or two, that would help.
His health has dramatically improved and his digestive tract seems to have finally settled down. He still has a cough but is on medication for it. He's still shedding the virus, which means he's still contagious for other dogs. (Parvo doesn't affect humans, cats or other non-canine animals.) He'll need either a foster home with no other dogs or one where he can be kept separate from other dogs, who must be up-to-date on their parvo vaccinations, for another two weeks. After that, he should not be contagious any more.
We'll provide all supplies for him and any ongoing medical care, if Jerry needs more. We also have people available to answer questions and address concerns, so you'll have help even if you've never nursed a recovering puppy before.
Jerry is about 11 weeks old and a very lean 10 or 12 pounds.
If you can help, please comment (on the original post, if you're reading a shared post), DM us or fill out the foster application (which we'll ask you to do anyway) at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/13OOzI3rY0tQhTyd3ejvsEpeQh6vc1KaEU5sDHdozTis/viewform?pli=1&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR3ysVKjFPsanhSeg-7fnpzPgvM9APoNT9vLgkcjdXQy-irS5OAxwqvE2tc_aem_AcgXtJxOCdeUGGks434cEfqZvEoC_WSSGVqVEk_hQW89osKR4CznkRpY8CWS2l2zo_2c6ZZoTbGDH257fm0wiOOX&pli=1&edit_requested=true.

Jerry, our parvo survivor, needs a little more help!
He's on our last package of puppy pads and goes through them quickly. Could anyone donate more pads? You can have them delivered to our supplies arm, Arwen's Attic, by ordering from Arwen's Amazon wish list at https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/310EJ5PJTUB08?ref_=list_d_wl_ys_list_1
You can also purchase some locally in Albuquerque/Rio Rancho and DM us to arrange for drop off or pick up. Hint: You can often find affordable puppy pads at a dollar store or Costco.
Jerry's had good days and bad days in his recovery since leaving the hospital, but yesterday was a good day. Here's a video from his foster of him showing some spunk. 😁
Please share to help Dobby find a home!
Foster fun fact: Dobby likes to play by batting a ball away from himself and capturing it again, a little like a cat might play with a toy.
He'll be 2 years old next month and is looking for his forever home. He's fixed, up to date on shots, house-trained, crate-trained and leash-trained. He loves other dogs and is good with little kids. Cats, not so much. We think he's likely a border collie/Lab cross.
Dobby was nearly euthanized before he was even born after his pregnant mom over-stayed her time in the full Clovis animal shelter. We were able to save her, and Dobby, originally known as Pig, grew up in foster care. He was adopted, but was returned through no fault of his own: The humans were moving. He was adopted again, but he wasn't doing well with some of the guests in the house and the family wasn't able to give him further training, so that adoption didn't work out, either. We had him evaluated at the Academy of Canine Excellence, and they believe he was over-stimulated and acting on a herding instinct because he didn't understand how to handle the situation. His trainer believes he needs humans who are knowledgeable about herding dogs, a structured home life, some additional training and plenty of daily exercise.
Dobby is affectionate and will give a return on investments of time and effort with much love and companionship. He loves playing, walking or lounging with his human. He really enjoys playing with other dogs and would make a great playmate for another energetic pup. He just needs someone who can invest in him and he can be a wonderful companion.
If you think you might want to be the person who gives him another chance, please fill out the adoption application at https://petstablished.com/adoptions/personal-information?application_type=Adopt&form_id=25570&pet_id=1492311.
Dobby could also benefit from a long-term foster who can spend a little extra time training and exercising him. He's currently in a house wit
We're doing fear free training with queso, and we are teaching him his muzzle isn't scary.
We wanted to share this progress update, and a note from his foster:
"Hey, ladies, wanted to show you some of Queso's progress with the muzzle. He wears it for a few minutes longer than you see in the video, as long as the treats keep coming. Given that he previously freaked out if a muzzle came near his face, I think he's doing great."
Good boy Queso, and foster. 🎉
'K, so, here's Queso's breed reveal and the winners of the contest. Our great thanks to everyone who donated, including the people who donated but declined to participate in the prize spin. Our apologies for the late video that isn't live. Queso's foster ended up being late returning from a road trip, not least because the rescue dog who caught a ride with her to a foster in Albuquerque was restless and required multiple stops to be resettled. Anyway -- drum roll, please -- here's the reveal video.
Don't forget about our Queso fundraiser! Support Queso, our remaining two fosters, our low-cost community vaccination clinics and alumni in certain situations, and get a chance to win an Embark breed DNA test. Guess Queso's breed mix, put your guess in the comment section of this post or another one on the contest and send $10 per guess via one of the following:
1. PayPal: [email protected]
2. Cash App: $plrofnm
3. Donation button at itsapawsitivelife.com
The results of Queso's DNA test will be announced Jan. 6. The person with the most accurate guess wins. If more than one person are equally accurate guesses, we'll determine the winner by random drawing.
Meanwhile, here's Queso playing.
Check out George's progress! He went into his kennel with a verbal command and stayed there for 40 seconds with his human friend out of sight. This probably doesn't sound impressive, but with George's severe separation anxiety, this is such a huge step. George is adoptable, and PLR will continue to support his training if he's adopted before it's complete.
Riley the Rottie came to the PLR clinic at Boofy's to get her nails trimmed today. She was very nervous, but with support from her dad, patience from our nail-trim expert board member and encouragement of liver treats poked through the weave of the muzzle, she braved the experience well.
We're here and our babies are already getting pawmpered with pawdicures.
Today at Boofy's Best for Pets 10-1!
George, one of our few remaining fosters, is working on his skills with a wonderful person who is donating her time. We're still raising funds for him for more training and support, such as possible dog-walkers when his foster is at work. He's an anxious dog and sometimes panics in ways that endanger him. We're trying to get him to a better place emotionally, and into a forever home. If you want to help, you can donate at https://www.paypal.me/plrofnm or itsapawsitivelife.com.
On this spooktacular hallows eve, be wary of witches, warlocks, and...scary sounds/visuals!!
Dogs and cats have no idea tomorrow is Halloween, and the doorbell ringing, scary monsters, and creepy sounds may cause panic.
Consider using CBD to help!
Pupdate from Queso brought you this message.
With his long history of trauma, it was no surprise he's afraid of dinosaurs. Adoptive family was watching a nature show that featured dinosaurs.
Poor Queso was so frightened he jumped in their laps shortly after this video. They turned it off cause it was much too hard for him. He then told us to warn other dog moms and dads for Halloween tomorrow!
Be safe, don't let kids pet your dog, and most of all..HAVE FUN!
