1/14/22:  My new mom and aunt came to take me home.  I’m going to be the only dog and get all of the attention.  Mom sleeps with me on the sofa because I haven’t mastered the stairs yet.  I did bark at that cat when he took my spot of the couch.  We have been going for walks together and Terry is taking such good care of me.  Thanks everyone who helped to save me from being an outside dog and now having this wonderful home.

 

12/26/21:  My people were elderly and when they passed away the granddaughter advertised me on Craigslist for free.  Some wonderful folks came to meet me and all the young lady could tell them was my name and that I am 9 years old.  Never been around other animals, or trained and always been an outside dog.  As soon as they saw my condition they knew I was going home with them.  My hair was long, matted to the skin, and my legs and tail area was so bad I couldn’t sit down.  I was caked with dead skin, dirt and feces.  My teeth were  snaggled and you could smell his breath across the room. I was very weak and wobbly, and had held up while being washed and shaved. I was so happy to be clean and able to move but when I gave a rag a gentle tug 3 of my teeth fell out.  The good folks took me to be checked and vaccinated.  I weighed 48 lbs., had 3 different kinds of intestinal parasites, and a “horrifying” case of dental disease.  Fortunately I was heartworm negative.  I was treated for everything and had a dental with 4 more teeth being pulled.  Now I am eating, gaining weight and my coat has started to grow back.  I have been debarked and make a huffing sounds when I try to bark.  I enjoy playing with the other dogs if they don’t get to rough and the cats don’t bother me.  I do great on the leash and will hop right in the car for a ride.  I know no strangers and love everyone.  I want to thank the lifesaving folks that me in even though they knew they could not keep me.  They know the rescue will find a home that is just right for me.

1/1/22:  I am happy to be the first adoption of 2022.  I am starting off the new year with my new family Jill and Carl.  Once home I met my new sister Skye and all the critters on the farm.  Looks like I’m going to fit in perfectly here and thanks everyone that helped me to find the Joyce Family.

 

 

 

12/26/21:  The vet is guessing I am between 4 and 5 years old and I am about 50 pounds.  I was picked up by the animal control as a stray and nobody came to claim me thank goodness.  Since coming to the rescue I have been neutered and heartworm treated.  My coat wasn’t in very good shape but is starting to grow out now.  I have a lot of personality, one of the happiest guys you will ever meet and absolutely love life.  I am housetrained, crate trained but don’t really need it.  I am great on leash walking and enjoy a good game of fetch.  I’m good with all the ladies and most males if they aren’t to bossy.  Also good with those cats and they don’t bother me at all.

Thank you Joanne Cowulich and Shannon Burdick for helping with my medical needs.

 

 

12/28/21:  Dad and I are on a long trip to my new home.  I will meet mom when we get there and he assures me she will love me just as much as he does.  I will be the only dog and get all the attention and petting I want.  I am so happy to become a member of the Stolpa Family and thanks everyone that helped to make this new life possible for me.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

12/12/21:  I’m a 4 year old collie fellow at the rescue because my person took me to the animal shelter.  That was my lucky day because now I’m going to have a real life with folks that will love me.  I have been to the vet for my checkup, neutering and a bath.  I’m doing pretty good with the housetraining although I have had a few accidents.  I don’t need a crate and I’m so good I get to sleep in Ms. Jean’s room with her.  I know my basic commands like sit, shake and pretty good on the leash.  I get along with most other dog but since the cat scratched me I don’t like them anymore.

Thank you Kendy Cochran for helping with my medical needs.
