Charley & Brooks are back!
Just stopping in for a few days while their owners deal with a sad loss in the family...Brooks who is normally happy to share his space only with the other Dachshund, Phoebe, actually decided he likes Phoenix as well now!

Better Lives & BFFs
At any given time, we will have 7-8 permanent residents, 2-3 boarders and 1-2 foster dogs. We do this because we can, we have the space and the time and because I have wanted to help dogs since I can remember.
I know I can't save them all...and I know I am making but a small difference in the overall scheme of things - but you know, that drop in the bucket most definitely ripples out to other things.
We help these dogs have a better life, learn new skills that keep them out of shelters and in homes and they in turn they help their owners have a better life...and sometimes they go on to help other people have a better life by doing therapy or assistance work.
Anytime I think - why am I doing this again - I remember dogs that just need a second chance like Luka and those that are tossed aside like Paige. Not all rescues are horror stories but all the dogs rescued need a better life...and I love being a part of that.
Paige is doing beautifully. She and Phoenix have paired up like long lost siblings even though at Paige is at least a month older. They are most often seen by each others sides - very cute.
Paige is taking a note from Phe and is becoming more confident and steady every day. We just took all the guys out to the lake - even though the water was freezing cold and Paige had a blast!

New foster pup - Paige
Tonight a family came in asking if they could leave their new pup at the store - they didn't want it anymore?!?!?
SERIOUSLY PEOPLE?!?!?
So apparently they were given the dog 4 days earlier and just decided they didn't want her. She is the sweetest, calmest little thing ever...I believe she is about 10-12 weeks old and probably a Lemon Beagle x Dachshund. She was filthy, scared and badly in need of some worming, flea meds and a hot meal...all of which she has now gotten.
The first thing she did when we got her home was collapse with relief and go to sleep on Tracy's lap...
Night night sweet girl - we've gotcha all taken care of now!
