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. |

MEET THE PACK
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!

Toby Toby is a happy little guy who was found as a stray in Fremont County. The shelter got him a dental and he lost all his teeth except his two lower canines which hold his tongue in his mouth. They named him Milky because of his cataract but I knew I was going to change that. I decided on the name "Louie". But the first night he was here I was calling my poodle named "Toby" and little Louie came running to me! So I guess his name had been "Toby" in his previous home. Since I already had a Toby I now call him Toby Toby. He arrived June 27, 2023 his estimated age was around 10 years old and a good addition to the pack.
Update: Toby Toby had some kind of unknown indecent with the eye. His lens got separated from his eyeball in Feb. 2024 and had to be removed. Then 2 months later his other eye ulcerated and had to be removed. He is doing well.
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.

Smokie Joe is a French Bull dog mix and he arrived May 29, 2021. His DOB is 2011. He was surrendered because his owner could no longer care for him. He's a pretty happy guy and has fit in well with the pack. He looks kind of like a bad ass but really he is very sweet. Smokie Joe was diagnosed with diabetes in April of 2022 and is now on insulin. I was surprised he does not mind the shots at all.

Betty is a French bull dog......commonly called a Frenchie. She was bought at an auction in Missouri.
Betty was traumatized when she arrived at a friends rescue. I met her a few months ago and thought she was wonderful. It was so sad seeing how traumatized she was. At times she allowed her person to pet her and acted normally sitting on the couch with her,other times she was scared and freaked out running into her kennel. Whenever I visited with her sometimes she accepted and wanted to trust but not sure she would retreat to her kennel. She would however come out of her kennel when I said, "BETTY come see me". After a long time her person came to the realization that she would not be able to totally bond with her. I asked if I could take her into my pack since she seemed to be responding to me.
Betty has been at the ODH since July 6, 2020 and she has come out of her shell. Betty has acted like a pack member from day one. She gets along with everyone and has taken total control of all the bones in the house.

Luke is the product of doing a friend a favor. He was a bully to his smaller Min-pin/Chihuahua mother and a 3 pound Yorkie in his previous home. We brought him here to let him be around bigger breeds that he would not be able to bully and the end result is that he bonded with Curtis and Dudley. Luke isn't really a bully...he is a true boy who loves to rough-house. With those friendships forged Luke had found his forever home. He arrive here September 18th 2011 and was only 11 months old.
