Residents
|
As you read through the residents bios, you will see their stories. When we bring a dog home that's just what it is.....home. When we commit to a dog that commitment isn't just food and a bed but also the security of knowing they belong to the pack and are loved. I don't care who you are, dog, cat, human... belonging and being loved is what makes life worth living. That's just what they do here they thrive. |

Annie is a Chihuahua that was picked up stray in Texas.
While I was making arrangements to get Marge the shelter contacted me about taking Annie. I told them if they could get Annie on the same plane as Marge I would take her. She arrived 3/19/24.
She is a very sweet girl and very mellow.
Annie's estimated DOB is 2011.

Marge is a Terrier mix that was picked up with Hank. They were apparently running together. Once I found this out I agreed to take her also. Marge arrived 3/19/24.
Once Marge arrived she had no attraction to Hank at all. Huh, kind of funny how that works.
Marge tested positive for heart worm and was being treated at the shelter. I continued her meds. and she will have a vet appointment soon to retest for heart worm. She is doing well and is a nice addition to the pack. Her estimated DOB is 2014.

Hank is a Chihuahua that arrived 3/2/24. He was picked up stray in Texas. He is a character and kind of a wild man. He loves the toys and does regular zoomies all around the yard and into the house if the door is open. His estimated DOB is 2014 . I'm thinking he may be a bit younger than that so when I get him to the Vet I will ask for my vets assessment.
Stanley is a Chihuahua that arrived 7/15/23. His owner was put in the hospital and died a few months later. Stanley and Sissy came together.
The director at the shelter had known the owner. She told me that he asked her if she had to put them down to please be with them at that time. She told him that she knew a rescue that took old dogs and she would do her best to keep them safe. Stanley's DOB is 2014. This picture was taken after Stanley had ACL surgery. He is getting along great!

Coco
Coco arrived on June 25, 2022 with his pal Max that passed away recently.
Cocos DOB is 2008.
He was surrendered to a shelter in Texas because their dad had a accident and was in the hospital and died some months later.
It was a sad situation the owners wife had died the previous year so he had no one to care for these little guys. He had told the shelter director that he was friends with. " If you have to euthanize them I understand but could you please be there with them".
Needless to say I couldn't let that happen so they were put on a transport to Colorado. Coco is a good boy with no know health.

Lebron is a Labrador mix with maybe Bassett obviously with those short legs. He weighs 66 #. He was picked up stray in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The shelter had his age at 9 years old based on his microchip, but I think he may be a bit older. Luckily the shelter was able to arrange a transport to get him to Colorado. Lebron arrived September 29th.
So far, his only issue is food aggression which only means I separate him at feeding time other than that he is very sweet and lovable.
Welcome to the pack Lebron!

Snowball is a Pomeranian mix (our best guess) she is large for a Pomeranian at 22#. She is around 9 years old. Snowball arrived August 26th 2024. Snowball was a neglect case and had been at a shelter for 3 months, they suspected she had not been adopted because of her age. She is very well behaved and obedient. She has an issue with one of her ears, it has been determined by our vet that she had untreated ear issues for many years. She will have flare ups because of this for probably the rest of her life. Welcome to the pack, Snowball!

Cali is a Doberman mix. We got a call from our Vet that Cali was going to be put to sleep because she had a urinary tract infection and was old. Her DOB is 2012. Cali arrived Aug. 4, 2022. She was treated for a UTI and is doing great.
Cali is a great dog she is very active and fit in very well with the pack. |

March 18, 2020. He had a dental and now his tounge sticks out. He is in good health and will probably be with us for a few years. He has now intergrated into the pack. And is a happy old guy. |
