2 home runs and 1 strike out...

Brownie and Cleo quickly found their furever homes this past weekend - both in multi-canine homes that are larger than them... So congrats to both and their new furever parents... 

Yukon unfortunately was returned when it was discovered he does not care for cats... As his foster parent does not have cats, this is something we can never guarantee and it is always a crap shoot at best... At TLC we know there is a furever home for EVERY dog and puppy we rescue off the kill lists --- if just given enough time --- so as they say, 'no harm, no foul'... It is all about the dogs in rescue... If a dog or puppy is not working out in someone's lifestyle and home, we'd rather keep searching until we find one that will... 

So Yukon is back with his foster parents and fit in again like a hand and glove... He immediately took back his spot on the couch and looked for the cuddles and pats he has become accustomed to... 

Yesterday at adoptions, we gave Yukon a Greenie for the first time... Now that his mouth is back and order without all those teeth that were causing so much pain, he THOROUGHLY enjoyed gnawing on it... It was like an 'all day sucker' for Yukon and he wasn't interested in anyone as he slowly devoured the Greenie...  Good for you, Yukon!   Things all worked out for the best and we're sure your new furever home is right around the corner for you too!

Introducing Brownie!

This little girl is a prime example of what happens to these little Chihuahuas when they end up in the shelter... Difficulty in transitioning from a home environment to a kennel situation, they retreat into themselves to survive... They appear unfriendly, don't bounce to the front of the kennel to meet every person that passes by and slowly their time runs out...

I was undecided about pulling this little one out of the shelter... Nothing distinguishing about her looks in particular, she had a strong look of fear on her face... She's a little bit overweight - uncommon for shelter dogs - but in just a few seconds of interacting with her in the meeting yard, I just couldn't leave her behind to die...

Within an hour of arrival at our home as a foster, she melted into the pack and began to follow us around the house... Brownie is a MAJOR cuddler and love bug... She snuggles up with you on the couch and despite having such little legs, will follow you constantly around the house as you go about your daily routine... If she can't get up on your lap, she finds a doggie bed or blankee close by your feet to snuggle into, but just until you get up to do something - then she's 'click-click-click' behind you as fast as she can go!!!

We don't know how old Brownie is, but I'm sure the vet will give me a guess today at her check-up... Brownie is up-to-date on all of her shots including rabies, spayed, licensed for the County of Ventura, micro-chipped and has a 1-year subscription for IDTag.com - we transfer all over to the new owner during the adoption process.

What a little sweetie this one is!  While I'd love to be able to tell you her backstory, the shelter was not able to enlighten us any further than she was picked up as a stray and no one came to claim her... Her time was rapidly running out and we felt she had so much potential, we were willing to take a chance on her... She immediately blossomed once she arrived back into a home environment, so we made the right decision in getting her out of the shelter!!!
