Socializing rescue puppies at Santa Rita Park
We took Ronni and Vinny (adoptable) to Santa Rita Park a few days ago. They handled the chaos pretty well.
Vinny (brown and white) is available for adoption through Blackhat Humane Society in Durango, CO. He is basically house trained, sleeps quietly in his crate at night, walks nicely on leash, has attended a few puppy classes (free courtesy of Diane's Clever K9s, LLC), can use a dog door, travels well in the car and is sweet, silly and cuddly. Seriously, if you're in the market for a new puppy, you can't go wrong with Vinny : )

We've been taking Ronni to puppy class with Diane Wray at Diane's Clever K9s, LLC. When we told her about Ronni's adoptable brother, Vinny, Diane offered to have us bring him to the last two classes which was so nice of her. They both did really well.
We did some work on the agility equipment which included these two squishy donut things. The goal is to get them to put their front feet on them or have them sit on top. I really had not expectation that they would sit on them but they both did it! I was kinda blown away. They rode around in our van and in the cart a lot growing up and I think all that balancing has given them their sea legs : )
Vinny is a super good boy, knows 'sit' and is learning 'down', walks nicely on leash, uses a dog door to go potty and is super silly and fun. He was born July 27, 2024 and is 17 weeks old. We haven't DNA tested him yet but his sibling is cattle dog, pit bull, Shar-pei, supermutt, german shephard and sheltand sheepdog (littermates can have different dads so Vinny's DNA might be a little different) He is available for adoption through Blackhat Humane Society

This is Vinny's 2nd time walking on leash and his first time walking around Home Depot and he was so damn good. They both were. People kept commenting on how calm and good they were.
Anthony and I have done all this work to socialize them and I always worry, "Did I do enough? Did I do it right? Did I make mistakes?" I was grinning ear to ear and couldn't shut up about how good Vinny and Ronni were being so I think I can worry less : )
If you've thought about getting a rescue puppy...it doesn't get much better than this. Vinny is Valerie's last puppy available for adoption.

Foster puppies share b-fast out of wobble kong
Wobble kongs are a great activity and way to feed dog's their kibble. The only downside to them is they do crash around a bit.
This only the second time our foster puppies have had this toy and they've already discovered that pushing it is better than chewing to get the food to come out. Smart puppies.
And two of them are available for adoption in Durango, CO: the blonde (Vic) and the white and brown spotted (Vinny). The dark one (Ronni) is staying with us : )

We took our adoptable foster puppies to the Durango skate park on Monday to get them used to bikes, skateboards and kids. We had about 10 kids come over to pet and give them treats. They all did well and spent most of their time at the front of the cart (not the covered 'safe space' toward the back.) A successful outing!
It looks like we have approved adoptions for Velma, Vanna and Vic!!! Now we just need homes for mama Val, Vinny and Vivian.

Adoptable Valerie loves playing with her puppies. She's a good mom. She's good on leash, good with other dogs, never had an accident in the house, rides well in the car, uses a dog door and is super sweet, affectionate, playful and smart.
But Val needs some 'Me' time and more attention that she can get around her puppies! She's looking to get adopted or find a new foster home so she can get a break from her growing puppies.

(Fostering is a great way to see how a new dog might fit into your home before deciding to adopt 😉)
And there are a few puppies available for adoption too! Blackhat Humane Society

We took the puppies to Santa Rita park last night and crashed this soccer game. Puppies met another 20 or so people including lots of kids. People kept commenting on how calm they were. One lady asked what we had given them 😆 That's the magic of early socialization. And we might have picked up another adopter!
Only 5 rez puppies plus mama Val are left for adoption in Durango, CO through Blackhat Humane Society. These are really great puppies so if you're in the market you won't want to miss getting one of them. And if you're worried you're not ready for a puppy, I've got two free ebooks on getting a puppy that are fantastic.

Our foster puppies (available for adoption) are litter box trained but prefer to go outside. Our puppy area has a dog door and now that all puppies can use the door reliably, we are leaving it open at night. The first morning that they had access to the outdoor kennel overnight, there were 11 poops outside! I couldn't believe it. Since then, there have been more poops outside than in their indoor litter box.
These are some great puppies. We have handled, socialized and desensitized them since the day they were born (Jul 27). They have traveled in the car at least 8 times, met about 100 people, ridden around Durango in our garden cart and take off leash walks with us around our property every morning. The owners of the adopted puppies say they are integrating into their homes really well and everywhere we go, people comment on what good puppies they are.
These guys have had an excellent start in life and are on their way to being superb family pets. And their mom is sweet, silly, playful, smart, house trained, good on leash and with other dogs. Valerie (mom), Vinny, Vivian, Velma, Vic and Vanna are available for adoption through Blackhat Humane Society. If you're considering getting a puppy, you won't want to miss these guys 😉

Rez dog mama and puppies for adoption in Durango, CO
Rez dog mama and puppies for adoption in Durango, CO! https://www.puppyjunkie.com/adoption
We have been fostering Valerie since she was picked up a week before giving birth to 8 puppies on July 27, 2024. She was found by Blackhat Humane Society volunteers, begging for food in a Burger King parking lot near Burnside Junction, AZ. Val is a sweet, smart, affectionate, silly, playful girl who is house trained, can use a dog door, is good with other dogs and good on leash.
Her puppies have been handled and socialized since the day they were born. They are litter box trained, can use a dog door and have been following us off leash around our property for weeks. We put a lot of time and effort into our foster puppies because early socializing and desensitizing will benefit them for the rest of their lives. They have traveled in the car many times, have met 100+ people, been to Home Depot and ridden around in our garden cart. We've had several severe thunderstorms and everyone was completely unfazed! They were even outside in the rain for one of them.
Owners of the puppies that have been adopted say they are integrating into their homes nicely with very little whining at night. These are great puppies and an amazing rez dog mom. Only 5 puppies plus mom are still up for adoption through Blackhat Humane Society so if you're interested, submit your application today! https://www.puppyjunkie.com/adoption

Valerie is a completely different dog than when she got here. But it's not that surprising considering she was anemic, very underweight, pregnant and had just been abducted off the street and taken to a strange place. She was picked up at a Burger King parking lot near Burnside Junction in AZ. She is what we call a 'rez dog' b/c she came from a reservation. She is sweet, playful, smart, affectionate, good on leash, house trained and good with other dogs.
Her eyes are a little crossed but the vet says they are healthy, she may just see the world a little differently. She doesn't bump into things or seem to have any visual challenges. She does like to take her time when going somewhere new, I assume that is because it takes her a little longer to assess that the situation is safe. But it really doesn't seem to effect her much.
Val is ready for her next adventure with a new family. She and her puppies (5 of them are also available for adoption) have been in foster care with us in Durango since a week before they were born on Jul 27.
