Stanley

I'd like to introduce our new foster for Peace, Love & Dog Paw Rescue! Stanley!
Stanley was pulled from BJC Friday and came to our house Friday night.

He was so matted and so terrified of being groomed it took me 4 hours to groom him. But he's a cutie now!
He's approx. 2 years old, neutered, UTD, housebroken (no accidents so far), Havanese mix. Sweet as pie, easy going, does ave abandonment issues but we're working on him trusting that we're coming home. He's about 8 lbs under weight so we're fattening him up and he gets along fine with all the dogs (3-132 lbs) and the cat. Will give kisses and loves to sleep under the covers at the foot of the bed. he will chase a toy but doesn't bring it back yet. He takes treats softly but will swallow your finger for Kraft singles. He also like to get a stuff toy and he hides it under him as best he can. he's very much a Velcro dog and like his harness and puppy shirts.



more updates to come on Stanley!

Also, PL&DPR pulled Belle a long hair dachshund mix, female, HW+ (has a sponser for treatment) and will be spayed ASAP.

Becky will be fostering her...such a sweet, beautiful girl!

UPDATE! Belle has received her HW treatment and been spayed and will be available for adoption soon!

Petey UPDATE!
Petey has a FURVER home! He will be staying with us. Adam likes that he makes me feel safe when he's working late, I like that he's so gentle and we love him SO he's staying with us.

Petey, Petey, Petey

Petey is doing very well, quite full of himself at times and getting silly at night rolling around on his back and talking to us. He insisted on playing fetch/catch last night though it was driving Oscar nuts to the point Oscar was body checking Petey (133 vs 15 lbs) every time Petey would grab the hedgehog we were playing with but when he finally decided to rest, Oscar washed Petey's face for him and then settled down too.
Bella has began using Petey as a step ladder so she doesn't have to jump as far. Petey apparently doesn't mind and he and the cat, Jack are now friends more than enemies (though Petey is the friendlier of the two)

I believe Julie said this Saturday she'd be home so maybe we can do a home visit then and Petey will go HOME but if I'm mistaken the following weekend works too.
Adam and I are going to miss the giant boy but he'll be in a wonderful home of his own and not have to share all the attention... Love me some Petey!

4/23/10 I haven't been able to get in touch with Julie so Petey and I will not be traveling Saturday but we WILL be at Pubs & pups at Rojo (2921 Highland Ave South Bham, AL) this Sunday 4/25/10 from 1-4-ish if anyone would like to come meet Petey or any other adoptables!

Petey update


Petey is doing well, his personality is coming out more and more each day; the diet is going well and as you can see in the pic he thinks he's very handsome.

He's wearing Adam and I out wanting to play fetch and catch all night. Unfortunately last night he shattered the coffee table and I spent the next 1/2 hour vacuuming while Adam held everyone out the the way. He didn't mean to, he just misjudged his distance. No one was hurt so all is well. I plan to take him to be weighted this weekend just to see how much weight he's lost so far (2 weeks) and possibly give him a bath at the dog wash in town.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!
