April is adopted!

April had a rough road to her happy ending but she has surely found her way.  April was very sick when she came to us.  Once she started feeling better, she was ready to find her new home.  Lucky girl found her new family and has a new doggie friend too!


Nella update!

Here is an update on Nella.

Hi Laura,

I hope you are well today.  Tony wanted me to send you these pictures of Nalla and Shabba.  She is doing well.  She is eating treats out of every body's hands and she is eating in the kitchen where Shabba eats although she is a little skittish when she is eating.  She has had two accidents in the house, but we are working with her and they were really our fault for not getting up and taking her outside.  

She plays really good with Shabba in the house and I am looking up information that is helping me to identify her behaviors so I can help her.  We have taken her for walks.  We still have her on the leash when she is in the yard, we need to fix a couple of areas to make sure she cannot get out.  We did not realize they may be an issue because of her size.  She has been taken to the vet and she had been micro-chipped.  We got the rabies information that you sent us in the mail and we will be able to get her license soon.  She is still a sweetheart to us all.

She is wagging her tail a lot.  She is getting used to my husband and my sons.  She makes us laugh a lot and she is being obedient to some commands.  

Here are some pics of Nalla in her new home.  Just wanted to give you an update and I hope you like the pictures.

Nella goes home!

Great news for Nella.  Rescued from the New Haven pound after being pulled from a home with 14 other dogs, she was fearful but has been coming out of her shell with us at POA.  This lucky girl landed in a new home with a loving family and new dog friend.  Here is Nella (on left) with her new family.


Yogi gets his forever after...

Yogi the yellow lab went into foster with to stay with POA volunteers John and Dee.  And apparently he fit is so well that in their home is where he stays.  Check out an update from Dee and a photo of Maui (his new name) with his new brother!


Maui is a JOY, we have had some rough moments.. shoe...cats....but we a committed to him.  He and Alaska get along great, drink from the same water bowl, even though there are two.  Eating next to each other, Maui always finishes first and comes over to me to wait for Alaska to finish.  Beds are next to each other, Maui has tried to initiate play but Alaska is not quite sure yet.  Alaska woke up sore on Friday and is now on meds and supplements  starting up walking again and I think Maui jumped on him trying to get to the cat.  We have a follow appt with the vet on May 10th and will bring Maui for the visit to meet our vet, Dr Heather.  I gave her a briefing when I brought Alaska in.  We are playing more fetch with Maui now that our walking has been limited, he is a great fetcher. Alas...we are a failed foster.....
