Our new foster dog is doing very nicely. She had a spa day at the groomer, and sees our vet next week.

Mina has some doubts about her big foster sister. They're not buddies yet, but they're coexisting nicely.

Our foster girl is settling in. She's relaxing, exploring our yard and getting used to us and our house. She's seeing our vet next week, and we're getting her to a groomer for her coat and claws as soon as we can get an appointment.

She's not in very good condition, but we'll take care of her.

Our new foster girl arrived today. She's a very gentle and sweet 10 year old.

Apparently, me sitting and glaring at a hummingbird feeder doesn't help them find it.

Both were adopted within 24 hours.
Can I interest anyone in a 3 year old lab mix with anxiety issues, or a 6 year old mastiff mix who needs a new hip?

This big boy will have hip surgery and have his luxating patella fixed as soon as we can identify a foster home for his recovery.

One of the first things I teach new volunteers is the correct way to hold a dog leash: thumb through the loop, with a fist closed around it.
The handsome boy in the picture is going to his adoptive home tomorrow.

Not every adoption is a success. This boy was returned through no fault of his own and in spite of our best efforts. We'll get him a better match next time.
Anyway, he gave me a big happy greeting today.

Now that the snow is gone, there's more places we can explore. She's also learning to use agility equipment.

Dogs were man's best friend far earlier than thought - scientists A jawbone found in a Somerset cave rewrites the story of when and how dogs became our best friends.

This is very cool. A dog's jawbone from the Cheddar Gorge in the UK turns out to be from the early stone age.

This timid girl has been making good progress. We're desensitization her to strangers and providing positive interactions with shelter volunteers. Now that the snow is gone she can get enrichment exploring the shelter grounds.

There were 4 potential adopters visiting the shelter today. I expect he'll be in a new home very quickly.

Im continuing to work with this boy. He's begun approaching his human friends and accepts handling, but continues to be anxious and easily startled on leash (picture). We're looking into placing him in a quiet foster home.

This boy recently arrived at the shelter, 136 lb mastiff. He's very affiliative with people, and is a leaner.
I don't think he'll be with us very long.

Not every adoption story has a happy ending. Two special needs dogs, one blind, one elderly, were just returned to the shelter after being in homes for several weeks. So we're starting over with them.

Until today, we had three big gray house hippos in our shelter. They've all gone home.
