VALENTINO in Memoriam
In Memoriam: Valentino was left at a shelter on February 14th, emaciated at 48 pounds (versus his ideal weight of 70 lbs). His back legs were atrophied, he had severe orthopedic issues, and advanced arthritis, among many other issues. We thought we were likely seeing Val through the last few months of his life, but we were bamboozled! Val became younger right before our eyes. His walks got longer, he got stronger, and much to our amazement, he began galloping and rolling around playing with other dogs. He quickly became a neighborhood celebrity. Val even became 'Uncle Val' to our skinny little rescue puppy Oliver (who is now our Betty’s big little brother – fun note, Betty was also adopted from NCBCRA).
Mama Peach Pie’s Puppies all ADOPTED
Mama Peach Pie's Puppies all ADOPTED. MAMA PEACH PIE, barely more than a teenager, found herself in the family way in a small, rural shelter. The shelter called to tell us about her situation, & they were keen to transfer her to rescue before she delivered her puppies. So, we picked her up the next day. She arrived at her rescue foster home very pregnant & despite her difficult circumstances, as sweet as pie & puppyish. She simply couldn’t have any other name! The Pie puppies were born on December 10th, & at birth revealed their movie star good looks. As soon as their eyes & ears opened for business, we were delighted to see that the pups have also inherited Mama Peach Pie’s sweet & playful disposition, as well as her smarts. They are now excited & ready to find their forever homes.
ADOPTED – ROWAN
As her name defines her, “ROWAN” is a “Little Redhead.” a red and white rough-coated border collie weighing a mere 28 pounds and standing about 19” at the shoulder. She is believed to be about one year old. Rowan is a wonderful, well-balanced little girl with brown inquisitive and curious eyes. She listens and thinks as she looks into you. Rowan is also fun, energetic, and very curious. She loves to explore the yard on her own, and mostly stays close to her humans when outside. Rowan is both agile and athletic. She will run and turn on a dime, then stop and look at you, as if to check in.
