Trevor is looking for his forever home











Trevor is such a sweetheart - he is living with two male foster brothers and loving life at their home, but he needs his forever home - we know you are out there somewhere! He is a terrific medium-size dog - still a young'un at less than a year old. He is pictured here alone and with his two foster brothers- he's the smallest one but definitely holds his own romping and playing. He will take time out for a snuggle though and is learning manners as well. Contact us today for an application for Trevor.




Spring has Sprung!







Are there any "dock dogs" competitors out there? If so, we have your girl! Maybe you just live at the ocean or lake and want a water-loving dog. Spring is a beautiful border collie mix who absolutely loves the water! At her foster mom's house, she will take a running start from off the deck and leap into the pool at least 10 feet out! She swims in there all day until you force her to get out. She went on a walk and leaped into a local stream and rolled around in there like a pig in mud!



Spring is gorgeous in person and a great medium size, maybe 40 lbs tops. When you go for a walk, she pulls on the leash at first but then settles down and walks like an angel - I think she has to see if she can get you to go faster - when she can't, she just figures "oh well, I'll go at this speed." She is loving and fun; she enjoys other dogs but needs an active playmate who doesn't mind her energetic playing. We're not sure how she'd be as an only dog - we would think you would have to be a runner or love playing ball - she will fetch at least one million times in a row!



Spring is such a doll! You have to meet her in person and then you will love her like we do.

Adoption Event at Hollywood Video










Thank you so much to Craig and Hollywood Video in Portland! We had quite a few sweet and happy dogs there to show themselves off yesterday. Check out pics. Cutie pie Max is with Jenny, and then there is Abby with her "mini-me" Kaila! Hunter is the yellow lab at the bottom.

Terrence!











Even though Terrence looks like a force to be reckoned with, he is the sweetest guy! Perfect combination for someone looking for a protector - looks like an attack dog but may lick you to death! Terrence was so loving to all of us when we met him, and was OK with other dogs, even Hank who is another male pit mix. Check out the pics of this beautiful boy -- Terrence has to go through heartworm treatment first (yes, it's a HUGE problem in the south - if people would only spend a few bucks a month for a heartworm preventative............) but then he'll be raring to go, and would like to join your family.








Lavern!




Oh my gosh, how cute is this girl? Lavern is a sweet beagle mix puppy who returned with us last weekend. She is busy and fun and just the cutest girl!

Our trip home
















On Saturday morning at 4 a.m. we loaded up our 36 new sweeties for the ride home. SO much to think about, and SO many miles to drive - we did it in about 29 hours with potty stops, snack breaks and lots of swapping of drivers. The dogs all handled it very well - a few yapping puppies keeping us awake was well worth the trip. Thank you to all who helped at both ends and all the way in between - manning the computer, picking up food, making chicken and rice, and keeping us organized!

Max




How sweet is this guy! He is in full puppy-play mode with his siblings and his cousins the C pups ; 0 )


Mollie




These M and C puppies are something! Their moms are brindle medium-sized dogs - maybe cattle dog mixes, and the puppies all look so different. Meet sweetie pie Mollie:


Handsome Hank!







This love bug is as sweet as he is handsome. He has been living in a small cage at the vet's office for many months, has gone through heartworm treatment and is now healthy. Check out this smiling boy! He was wonderful with all of us when we met and has been tolerant of us hoisting him into his crate for the long journey north. He did well with other dogs, even another male pit! He seems to be fine with female dogs and he met a cat at the vet's office which he ignored - though if she ran he might be tempted. His foster home has a cat so we will be able to update you on his reaction.

Hunter!
















Hunter is a beautiful boy who was happy to see people who would love him. He was a little shy at first in new situations but warmed up after just a minute when reassured- he seems like a guy who just wants to run and play. Check out this cutie pie. His eyes are just gorgeous!
