Lady Sadie Arrives Feb.13th.

... This girl's time was up.. You see in some other shelters especially " Pounds " have a quota and time limit to hold dogs.. then they use their method of killing.. some its the needle others are still barbaric using gas chambers.. She was at a gas chamber pound.. I received a request " Do I have room " How could I say anything but sure.. look at her.. does she deserve to die because someone doesn't walk in the door for a few days..



Sweet eh !!

Piper & Harley Get Baths

... Yesterday I lugged up my dog bath again to get Harley in the bath.. So I did he wanted out after the washing was done as he saw the nail clippers.. then " LET ME OUT " haha.. no way I got him all done and smelling fresh as lavender ..



After getting him down and dry.. Piper was hanging around me so I said.. " Pipe you want a bath " he didn't run or fight me so I picked him up put him in and away we went.. he's a good guy..



Now doesn't he look thrilled.. Yes now I've got to get that Hoovy and Micky.. Yes little things bring me smiles.. after a roller coaster day..

Bloodhounds Tossed Out ..

.. You know this is always amazing to me.. How folks can toss dogs out of a car or back of a pick-up.. seriously.. Today I learned of two such dogs.. they are bloodhounds no longer wanted so tossed like yesterdays garbage.. So they too will be coming here.. They look to me like litter mates but I won't be sure until I see them.. To me they are just long legged bassets haha.. Here they are though.. in case they might interest you to foster or adopt..





Breathe Helen just breathe.. Grrrrrrrrrrr

This Makes Me Crazy

.. Daily I get calls or emails about having room for this basset or that basset.. I wish I did often.. I know somehow I need to get a place where the municipality won't fine me for extra dogs and I can help save more needy ones.. I mean just tonight I have a request to take this pup.. he is emaciated probably has worms.. no vaccines.. not neutered.. just left tied outside a building... So of course I have to step up and take this boy although I don't have a foster right now for him.. so he will come here bringing my numbers in the house 4 over limit.. but look at him..





Skin and bones.. I shake my head at the fool that did this.. and am grateful I can come to his aid.. so its crowded thats nothing new for me.. its just sad..

Surprise Surprise Harley Needs Surgery

... Yes this boy has a couple of things going on.. he has this lump/cyst.. notice on his side.. and his teeth are horrid.. So he will require that these be taken care of before adoption is possible.. Where is it all going to come from some days I ask the Universe.. Alas it needs doing so it shall be done and hopefully the cyst/lump will be benign ..



Say a prayer..

Harley

Sometimes the collateral damage of a divorce is a basset.. Both parties are hurt so they make decisions like give up their family pet.. Yes Harley a five year old basset is just this case.. He is sad and confused.. this velcro boy needs someone who is home most of the time to give him back the trust he has lost for people.. That is the biggest hurdle for rescues.. abandonment issues .. new adoptive parents need to be patient and recognize this.. It may take a short while or a year for him/her to feel you really want and love them.. Kind of like a foster child.. So this guy is needy in some fashions.. If you can provide him a secure foster home or adoptive home.. Let me know..

Balzac

This boy is Balzac.. he is 7 years old and unfortunately his owner needs to move into a Assisted Living Facility.. needless to say they don't allow pets sadly.. I'll never get this rule.. Often pets are seniors best companions .. Anyway this guy will be coming as soon as all is arranged.. he will definitely be confused and depressed by this turn of event.. but I will do my best to get him a home here in Montreal on the chance his owner might be able to have a visit with him.. I'll have to wait and see.. In the meantime if this boy interests you.. be in touch to either foster or adopt him..
