ReMAP Dogs We rescue moms and their puppies. We raise them until they’re ready for their forever homes, then adopt them to responsible families.

We've been a little quiet lately, catching our breath and making plans for our next litter.

Elmer, now Jasper has a great home with his boxer sister. We had a good time hosting him for a couple of weeks as the 'last' puppy. When that happens, it's like we have a puppy! Crate training, potty training, enrichment. I wish I could do this for every puppy. It's so much easier when they go through these steps in a familiar place.

And then beautiful Agnes - she went home right around 8 weeks old. Her wonderful family keeps me updated with photos and milestones. 'She's awesome.' 'She's been an amazing pup.' 'Waiting for her DNA results.' I just LOVE hearing from adopters. It really helps me hone my program and makes it easier to welcome a new litter, knowing I can find great homes for the next batch.

Winnie!!!! We were lucky enough to have her stay with us for a long weekend while her people went off on a pre-planned trip. I love it when I can help my former fosters. That girl is cool! She loves her crate, did all her business outside and kept Aunt Tashi busy...

Wait a minute, how did Tango slip in there?!? Remember Cha-Cha's litter? Tango is doing great in his forever home, and what a dignified pose he presents.

And of course Barney, now Cappy. He landed with a family of first-time dog owners. Do you remember your first dog as an adult? The whole family is doing great, and Cappy is a really good fit for them. I love helping families put all of the pieces together as they adjust to life with a dog.

That's the news from Puppy Central. We'll be bringing a new mom and pups into our program very soon. And of course, we'll take you all along for the ride.

As long as there are dogs-in-need, we will: Rescue, Rehome, Repeat.

One of the best parts of Rescue is getting updates on our former fosters.

Here's Boo living her best life. This girl delivered her pups in a cemetary. The House Of Muddy Paws rescued them all and reached out to us for help. Mac McDonald happened to be driving through at just the right time, so he did the transport.

Boo was a bit of a challenge, rough around the edges. We didn't sugar-coat the facts as we knew them, for adopters. But when this amazing couple met her, we knew it was a match. While Boo had been going through the trauma of losing her home, birthing pups out in the wild, temporarily relocating with us, they'd been having a rough time too.

It shouldn't surprise any of us that a dog-in-need finds a family-in-need. And their bond is ever stronger because of the hole that each fills.

So, the joy that Boo has found, and the joy that Boo has brought is just heart-warming.

Check her out! Perched on the back of the couch. Sunbathing on the dock. I'm kinda jealous...

One of the funny behaviors that Boo has is to steal shoes. She doesn't destroy them, she covets them. The more she loves you, the more she steals your shoes. Take a look at this brilliant solution - put the dog gate around the shoes! I'm secretly looking forward to the update in which Boo defeats this contraption.

I love this girl. I love these adopters. They find her quirks endearing and fun. THIS is why I rescue.

P.S. DNA results: 26% Shih Tzu, 19% Supermutt (our favorite breed), 16% Boxer, 15% Belgian Malinois, 12% Pomernian, 11% German Shepherd.
100% lovable!

A tired puppy is a good puppy.

Well, sort of. We've been preparing for this behavior since he was born. The pups quickly learn that quiet/calm gets my attention. And they like my attention because I've been gently handling them since birth. They also like the challenges I put in front of them.

So, today, we went for a walk. A longer walk that we've been building up to. We walked along a busy street for a block and the traffic didn't scare my boy because we've been preparing him for stuff like that using Alexa, since he could hear. He didn't bit on the leash. Because we've been preparing him with no-leash-walk-by-my-side in the back yard. He didn't bug Tashi, who came with us. Because we've been on plenty of short walks alone and then with Tashi.

I think you get the picture - if you prepare your puppy, and start with baby steps, you'll have a really good puppy.

BTW, he slept for 8 hours in his crate last night without a peep. I finally had to wake him up this morning because I wanted to start my day! And no potty accidents in the house. And respectful play with his dog siblings. And he hasn't once grabbed my hands or pant legs with his teeth.

This is an awesome puppy who is looking for an awesome home!

I love dogs. But that's no secret.

I love getting to spend part of every day meeting the needs of my own dogs and those of my foster dogs.

I love that my own dogs were once fosters and found their way into my life forever.

Today, Aunt Tashi (former mama dog) helped Elmer (current foster pup) prepare for his forever home. She taught him how to chill out while I'm working. He took the hint and put himself down for a nap in his crate! The dude snores. How adorable is that??!!

Elmer actually traversed a couple of rooms, went downstairs and out the door to do his business outside. OMG, this is pretty awesome behavior for a 3 month old puppy. And last night, he slept for 8 hours in his crate. These are usually the biggest hurdles that new adopters face.

So, if you're looking for a very good pup to adopt, message me.

Did I tell you how much I love dogs?
P.S. Murphy (former foster pup) had a good day supervising the lessons.

Elmer is a 12 week old pit bull mix puppy who is available for adoption!

His mom was rescued from Fresno, gave birth in our foster home, and raised her pups in comfort and love.

Elmer is confident, silly and very playful. He's almost potty trained, is learning to walk on a leash, and likes to be close to his people.

Barney is a 12 week old pit bull mix puppy who is available for adoption!

His mom was rescued from Fresno, gave birth in our foster home, and raised her pups in comfort and love.

Barney is confident, silly and very playful. He's almost potty trained, is learning to walk on a leash, and likes to spend time in his crate with a bully stick.

Ready for homes if their own. Available for adoption!!

2 pups, 12 weeks old are ready to be adopted into their forever homes.

Are you ready for an adventure?

The longer I have these puppies, the more in love I am.
How is that possible? The animal welfare professional in me, the business person in me says that puppies over 9 weeks old aren't at their cutest, marketing them is harder, competition becomes about 'young dogs' vs. 'puppies'.

But the romantic in me says that the longer I have these pups, the more I know them. And the more I know them, the more I love them.

Barney, the black pup with white dappled chest is smart as a whip. From the start, he followed me everywhere, trying to figure out how to get my attention - good attention, not bitey attention. I have no idea why he was not the first pup chosen for adoption... Today, he located the stash of bully sticks with his nose, and asked for them, by sitting at attention - looking at me, looking at the bully sticks, until finally, I put him in his crate with his bully stick. 2 hours later, he was still happily chewing.

Elmer is a bit needier. But that's relative. When you have a stellar brother to live up to, it's rough. And as a 2nd sister... (cue the therapy session), that's why I love him. He might be trying to live up to his brother's greatness now, but as soon as he has a home of his own, he will shine! (Take it from me, lingering in her older sister's spotlight until I broke out on my own! Look as us sparkle!)

If you're looking to adopt a puppy, either of these 2 will make your family complete. They have so much love to give.

Message me if you're interested.

Barney and Elmer. 11 week old (almost) pit bull pups, looking for their forever home.

Today's enrichment was chewing on bully sticks, in their own crate, with the door closed! I monitored closely so that I could release them from their crate before they started to fuss. Dogs need to learn to love a crate, especially puppies!

Message me if you're ready to adopt one of these sweeties.

Big day for the boys! This morning, they played with Tashi (our 5 year old auntie dog). That means they had to figure out what all of her body language meant. And that's a lot of mental work for 10 week old puppies.

Then they each had their own leash walk. Treats happen when the pup is walking next to me, or when the pup makes eye contact, and especially when they sit.

A fun time was had by all!

Message me if you're ready for a 10 week old pit bull mix puppy!

From the start, these 2 have been the bubbas. I say that with love.
They're the ones who desire a seat on the couch to watch the Super Bowl with you.
They're the ones who think nothing of grabbing a precious nugget of steak off of your plate.
They're the ones who gaze lovingly into your eyes until you're hypnotized into adoption.

Is it working!!??

Barney and Elmer are 10 weeks old. Today, their enrichment activity was to take a leash walk WITHOUT their brother. That's right, one stay home with yummy bully sticks to chew, while the other joined me on a walk. Big steps for these siblings! And they did very well.

Pit bull mixes, up to date on vaccines, so close to being potty trained, crate conditioned.

Is there an empty place on your couch for the big game on Sunday?

Update:
Edith didn't make it. There are medical details that I can't even process right now. Thank you all for everything.
*****

This morning, I woke up to a lethargic puppy, with a distended belly and no appetite.

We took Edith to the ER. We'd just been there yesterday seeing their internal medicine specialist. Yesterday they suspected a partial bowel obstruction, but ultrasound and xrays were inconclusive.

As soon as we arrived at the ER today, results came back from the radiology specialist who had evaluated the images overnight. Surgery to explore a blockage was recommended, but Edith's condition was declining by the minute and she would not have survived surgery.

While the vets provided her with supportive care, we checked our bank accounts and weighed the options.

Right now, there are so many dogs who need our help. We spend every dollar so carefully, maximizing to the penny. And right now, this puppy who'd spent her life in our care, all 10 weeks, needed every penny.

An impossible choice.

Until Kevin said, 'I can't let that be the last time I see Edith alive.'

Edith will spend the night under close watch with the vet, if she's strong enough and healthy enough tomorrow morning, she'll have the surgery.

If you have a few extra dollars, we could use the financial help:

If you have some extra good thoughts for our girl, we could use those too.

Thanks for all your support.

Puppies do not care about the noise from a vacuum cleaner! …

31/01/2025

9 week old pit bull mix puppies available for adoption!

Barney is black with white speckles on his chest.
Elmer is tan with some white on his chest and darker ears and tail.

Their mom was rescued from Fresno and gave birth to 11 puppies. We've had so much fun raising them all and finding them forever homes.

We follow the Puppy Culture protocol which means that we introduce developmentally appropriate experiences for the pups in order for them to learn that 'new' is 'good'. We've been acclimating them to all kinds of sounds, and we take them for strolls around the neighborhood so that they experience kids at the park, dogs playing at the dog park, bikes, skateboards and more.

They've been reliably using their litter box when inside, but prefer to do everything in the great outdoors.

Pups have had their first set of vaccines and a microchip.

Ready to bring some joy to your life!

We've got some work ahead of us. While Edith might not have a liver shunt as the vets first suspected, she is also not thriving. We have an appointment with an internal medicine specialist next week to try to figure things out.

In the meantime, we could use a few things:
- eggs: Edith seems to be able to tolerate this protein pretty well. Message me if you need my address for drop off.
- financial support: we'll make it work, but the vet bills are not cheap. Please donate if you can: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=577DJVSWFPALE
- warm, loving thoughts: it really helps! Edith is our precious girl. She perks up when I tell her that everone is pulling for her.

Thanks in advance for all the support you give us. We are grateful that you're in it with us.

Adopt one of these 2 week old pups! They are simply amazing.

Adopt me!!!

2 pups, 12 weeks old are ready to be adopted into their forever homes. Are you ready for an adventure?

Puppies do not care about the noise from a vacuum cleaner! …

Why can’t I just keep all of them?

After cleanup and breakfast, it's naptime. For some! Reggie (white stripe on nose) is the one using his teeth the most to communicate. To me, that means I'm not meeting his needs. So, in the middle of the morning chores, he and I were (somehow) alone and he grabbed my leg. I said Uh-Uh. And he let go. Praise, lots of praise! But he wasn't sure, so he grabbed my hand. Another Uh-Uh. and a quicker mouth release. More praise. Then a gentle nibble on my bracelet Uh-Uh. Praise and then he didn't try again. OMG, so much learning! We'll reinforce later today. And now I know that he's ready for some treat training, some clicker training and the fun continues.

Barney is such a great puppy. He loves to stare into your eyes and follow you around. 6.5 weeks old, will be ready to be your best buddy in a couple weeks. Who’s ready? Thanks for your magic, Paige Green Photography

Crazy dog!!! Crazy dog!!! Elmer is ready to join your family (in a couple of weeks)! He's not always this crazy... Thanks Paige Green Photography for your undying committed to pit bulls!!

Evening playtime

7 pups are spoken for. 4 lucky families should get their applications in!!

The running of the puppies!

The morning routine…for now. I get up before the pups wake up, 6 am, every day. Even on the weekends. I go around the back, cleaning up any messes that I don’t want the pups to step in as they greet me. At 6 weeks old, they’re still clamboring to get to me, but I can already tell it’s less than last week. Many of them sit at attention, waiting for my eyes to meet theirs. I smile and say, ‘good puppy’. Most of the pups head outside for their morning constitutional. I clean up a little more. It’s important to do these chores with puppies underfoot. They are already learning that just because I’m in their presence, doesn’t mean that they’ll get all my attention. I gather up the bowls and begin the feeding routine. I usually feed in small separate bowls, more bowls than pups. But with this many puppies, I couldn’t figure out the logistics of getting 14 bowls from kitchen to feeding area without causing a frenzy in the pups. That seemed to be worse than feeding out of 6 communal, round, flat bowls. At one point in their development, I noticed a few hanging back from the initial food presentation. So, I fed them in 2 separate groups for awhile. They needed to learn that food is not competition. I also don’t free feed puppies; I just give them lots of meals. But with Jane out of the picture (weaned them and on an adventure of her own!), and with so many puppies each on their own eating schedule, I’m leaving food around for them to enjoy throughout the day. Now, at 6 weeks old, I’m seeing that they’re all eating at every food presentation. So, we’ll put an end to the free feed. I finish my morning chores with fresh bedding, another load of laundry, poop pick up outside. This morning, Reggie joined me, while the others found their perfect napping spot. I called him to me, he came running over – early recall is a lovely thing. We found a toy and enjoyed a game of tug and trade. And then it was time to sleep again.
