Well this past week Growler and Button (our rescue) went in to be altered. We used a new vet and WOW I must say we were impressed. Both only have a small incision and just 1 stitch! They were both bouncing ready to go when I went to pick them up.
We are needing to find loving pet homes for these 2 dogs. Growler is a year old and has been doing fairly well in the house. He has been living in the kennel/yard with the rest of the gang. He is quite a "talker" and if there are people he loves around he will talk! He looks still very much like a puppy.
Button's story is a little sad. This past february when we had that cold snap of -30C weather we found her in a ditch! She had been there for days so I come to find out later. She was right in front of a string of houses and no one bothered to go and get her. We stopped when we spotted her almost being hit by a car. She was no more than 10-12 weeks old. She still had all her baby teeth. She jumped right into Dante's arms. She was a little stinky and cold but ok. We called all the local vets/pounds etc. After 2 weeks no one had bothered to come and claim her so she became ours. Our best guess is that she is a shepard cross of some kind. We figure she is around a 1 year old now as she has had 2 heat cycles since being here. She is now altered and full of love ready to go to a new home. We are still working on crate training her but she is doing much better. She is starting to bark and whine when she needs to go out. She gets along well with other dog and loves kids and people.
I am pretty sure neither dog would fair well in a home with cats. But KIDS you Bet!
Feel free to email and ask questions about either if you are interested in seeing these dogs.
