Lap Dog x 2

UPDATE May7, 2013
Peanut and Daisy have been adopted
Thank you Renee for adopting both of these dogs!!!!
 

What is better than one lap dog?

Two lap dogs?

 Meet Peanut and Daisy

Peanut and Daisy are Dachshunds.

Peanut has the smooth short hair

 and Daisy has long hair. 

 They are both spayed

 and up to date on all shots. 

Their owner was placed in a nursing home and these two lap dogs have lost a home. 

 The girls are 4 years old.  

The lady who had to give them away asked that they were placed in a home together. 

 I plan to honor her wish. 

 So, if you would like two lap dogs that are housebroken, quiet, very well behaved 

and just want love, 

please adopt Peanut and Daisy.

 Peanut was the last one to warm up to us after their arrival.....until, my husband sat down ....and all the sudden, Peanut was in his lap.

Now that is one great way to get a busy man to slow down.....he actually has been sitting down a lot this weekend.  I appreciate that Peanut.

  Daisy was the first one to socialize with the other dogs.  She travels around the house and then runs back to Peanut with whatever news she has to tell.

Daisy jumped right up on the bench when my husband sat down.  However, it appears that Daisy's favorite spot is next to the lap.  I would say she is a leg warmer type of dog.

If you or anyone you know would like

 two FANTASTIC lap dogs, 

please contact me at

THANKS

 

Tara and Chava

Remember Chava?

She is the small lab mix that we rescued last December two weeks before she had 11 puppies.

All her puppies have been weaned.

 And they all have homes.

 Then Chava was spayed.  She started training.

Chava is a mellow sweet dog, 

with enough attitude to keep her brave,

 but not too much that she gets into mischief.

 During this time, we were talking to a young lady named Tara who needed a Service Dog.  E-mails went back and forth and finally phone calls. 

  As with everything in life, things happened when they were suppose to.....

it was time for Tara and Chava to meet. 

So we took a road trip.

  

Chava and her new owner, Tara.

I have found that the dogs pick where they need to be....Chava (who does not demand attention) was very very happy to see Tara and her Mom.   Chava kept asking them for pets and hugs.  She behaved as if she had been in their house before and

 was glad to be home.

So, now Chava is back with us to finish her training.

Soon she will be with Tara as a constant companion and a Service Dog.  

Tara is thrilled to get the dog she has longed for and I think Chava is glad she finally found her home.

Thank you  

Teddy has a happy story

 

Remember Teddy?

We rescued him in November of 2012.

He is a great small lab, but had some resource aggression issues.  Teddy would not let any person or animal get near him if he had a rawhide bone.  We did not find this out until he found a rawhide bone (we do not give our dogs rawhide bones).  This easy going, lovable dog was not friendly when he had a rawhide.  Well, we did not think he should be in a home with children because one never knows when he would find a bone.  So, we were are the lookout for an older couple.

Also, Teddy was a true farm dog.  He loves to run on his farm (he never left the farm).  Teddy loves to go for rides in the truck.  He was great with people, cats and other dogs.  However, he loves to chase the horses.  So, we were on the lookout for someone who did not have horses.

Then we got an email from a young woman named Jessica who was looking for a dog for her Dad.  Her father was a  farmer.  His dog had died about a year ago and Jessica knew it was time to get Dad a dog.

The children were grown.  Dad needed a companion for the farm, a dog to ride in his truck when checking fences, to hang out in the shop and just be a good farm dog.  Teddy fit the bill.  And there were no horses on this farm.

And the happy part of this story is when Jessica's Dad met Teddy, we all knew it was a perfect match.  

So after 5 months Teddy found his forever home. 

 It was worth the wait.    

New Home for Dallas and Donny

Donny and Dallas (now known as Jasper and Zeke)

in their new home.

Dallas (Zeke) was adopted last month.  The new owners love him so much that this weekend, they called to see if his brother was still available.

Now the brothers are together.  They have an amazing home.

Thank you to the wonderful family

 that adopted these dogs.

Zeke and Jasper have a perfect home.

 

Fostering a Service Puppy

Bobby and Stacey

Stacey is the teenage girl who is taking the huge responsibility of raising Bobby as a future Service Dog.  Again, Thank you to Stacey's parents and the whole family for fostering Bobby.

The goal for placing a future service dog puppy in a foster home is to create an environment for raising and training the puppy to become a social, confident, focused and stable working adult dog.

Some key points for foster families include;

·         

·         Dog will be raised in the home as a family companion.

·         Some of training goals are housebreaking, crate training, basic obedience, manners and socialization.

·         Proper socialization as a puppy is key to creating a Service Dog.  The puppy should go out in public daily when possible.  Service Dogs are allowed in public places and Service Dogs in training are allowed in most public places. 

Stacy said she would send photos of Bobby so we can watch as he grows.  She also plans to update us on his progress.  Stay tuned as we watch this pup grow.
