Hello Moonrise family and followers!
Enjoy the video of Eliza’s crew visiting with Desiree - n incredible trainer, behaviorist and a human! Desiree is trained in search and rescue and in this capacity volunteers at her local fire department helping WNC communities which are cut off by collapsed roads and are only accessible by ATW’s

After speaking with Desiree in person I have created an Amazon list for items first responders and community need for Bat Cave, Chimney Rock, Lake Lure and Gerney - served by the fire department that Desiree volunteers with.
They are good on food and water but desperately need some very specific items for community members and crew helping them out.
Please consider making a purachase and I will deliver it to Desiree.

Frank and Solei’s babies frolicking on the cooler morning.

Puppy socialization is not about direct interaction. An afternoon at a coffee shop and a mobile playpen teaching puppies to just hang out in the presence of people and heavy traffic. The security of the playpen helps keep puppies safe from being touched by adoring public and controlling their interactions to keep them safe from picking up a disease or having a bad experience.

The Avidog adventure box has been on my wish list for a while and I finally splurged! Instant hit with Soleis crew! Unlike play puppy gym with soft toys, Avidog adventure box is a proper piece of puppy curriculum equipment. It is designed to be introduced to 3-6 weeks old when the puppies are at the peak of their curiosity and lack of natural fear. The swoosh and sway of the items is very enticing to the puppies learning and interacting with the world.
As they play, they get gently inoculated with low levels of stress and are exposed to various textures, sounds and touch. In turn it makes a more confident and stress resilient dog.

Frank found his perfect person!

It is very when I describe a poodle puppy as laid back but Frank is it! He of course plays hard and wrestles with his siblings but when he is done, he wants to crawl into your lap and snuggle. He is very observant of people and situations around him. Very willing to connect and listen. I imagine his father Victor was like him as a baby and see Frank following in his footsteps and growing up as a devoted loyal lowing easy going boy. And he is deep red like his father.

I am expecting Frank to grow up around 14-15” tall and about the same in weight. He has already been microchipped, had eye check done, vet check and first shots. Working on crate and house training.

Glad to see that what FDA found is a common contaminant found in people’s homes and the fact that the strains they tested were unrelated to each other shows that it is more likely from people’s homes not the manufacturing plant. Making sure your pet food and water dishes are washed at least daily really helps cut down on tummy upsets.

Between November 22, 2023, and April 15, 2024, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) received approximately 1,300 adverse event reports for a variety of Purina pet foods. Today (July 31, 2024) …

Truvi/Victor “hot dogs” puppies are ready to join their new families. I will highlight each one individually but wanted to share their group picks. My assistant Ashley puts together super cute photo sets for the pup. Since the litter theme is “hot dogs” we went with “funky summer” for the photos.
2 boys (dark red and an apricot) and two girls (dark red and an apricot) are available after some shifts in the waiting list due to timing.
All of the pups temperament assessed as wonderful companion temperaments, which means with proper socialization they can also probably do Therapy work,
ESA and just plain family pets.

Have you been dreaming of an adventure buddy?
Plum is your puppy! Brave, clever, outgoing, handler oriented, curious and busy and melty affectionate boy.
This one has the temperament to thrive in a busy city downtown or on a hike through the mountains. Plum was assessed by Desiree Beauchamp and a team of six other behavior consultants/performance trainers and al agree that he would make an amazing candidate for agility or other sport where drive and human focus would be beneficial.
This smart cookie is looking for just the perfect home with someone who is looking for truly a companion, can provide him with plenty of sniffy walks, mental stimulation and structure to shape this talented and busy puppy into his best possible self. While he is a high octane, he has an amazing off switch and will melt into you and settle right down for a cuddle and a nap when picked up.
The ideal family would be active, with someone staying at home, interested in training/performance. He loves cats and other dogs but may be too much energy for an old dog unless the owner is willing to manage their relationship. Plum adores everyone but he is a busy toddler himself needing a lot of direction and individual attention so probably not the best candidate for families with toddlers or preschoolers.

Something else that is cool about Plum is his coloring, it is almost like two different dogs on the right and the left! He is also developing the most adorable freckles in his white coat.

Plum is expected to mature at 12-13” and 10-12lbs.

His temperament assessment video link is in the first response to FB post.

Thank you Kim for the beautiful puppy goods!

Piper is a 12” 8lb oversize toy/small mini- we thought Piper had a retirement home lined up but due to no fault of her own, they decided they will not be able to take her on.

Piper is a super sweetheart and she soon will be looking for a lap of her own. She really deserves to the apple of someone’s eye and have all of the attention on her instead of sharing it with the pack. She loves being with her person, cuddling and giving kisses .She is absolutely the best snuggler and bed buddy, she will keep your pillow warm for you, while you get a midnight snack.
Loves cats!

Piper would prefer to be placed with a retired homebody and no children under 12. Piper is very loving but she grew up in a very quiet country life and busy activity makes and fast movements make her uncomfortable.
She would absolutely prefer to stay at home watching soaps with you instead of excersizing. Don’t let that fool you, Piper is quirky, clever and athletic. She can climb over 6ft chain link fence and open latches as she hangs on the gate. So you have to be prepared to take her outside on a leash for a few weeks even in your own backyard. Once she is bonded to you, she only escapes fencing to get back inside. Due to her size and being a mini Houdini she can not be left outside unattended.
She is house trained to go outside but will reliably use litterbox/pads if the weather is nasty or you just have to be gone for a while.

Piper is looking for a lap and must be spayed.
However, she has been fully health tested, Clear for PawPrint Poodle DNA pannel including CDDY/IVDD. Has normal knees! And Hips rated Good by OFA just so you know that she is unlikely to developed these conditions.
