Spencer is wonderful. He clocked in as the BIGGEST Golden we have ever met.
He started at 151 pounds!!! By the time he was placed, he was down 20 p oounds and moving around really well. He is now out on a ranch and loves his new home.

Here is Spencer with his new owner who reports

Just want to let you know that Spencer is doing so much better since we have had him, for the 1st time today he showed signs of wanting to play ball with Shadow, he even tried to run, yesterday He also can now make it up the steps without us having to help him, we really truly love him, and he seems to be Happy here, he also is sitting up a lot more, then he did when we got him.. we let him out the back door cause there is less steps, he walks around to the front to bark at the horses, he gets a lot of exercise as he gets out every 2 hours or more, and he walks around the house,

Latest news is a sad report that Spencer has passed on. But his last year was wonderful!

Henry is a Golden/something cross but all his energy is golden. He is 3 and is grateful, funny and very playful. He LOVEs to retrieve, loves other dogs and loves people. He is also very attentive, regularly checking to make sure he’s doing the right thing. As a running partner, he doesn’t stray away and heels wonderfully. He would be great with children and he gets along with cats. He is a one of a kind!

Henry is in his new home is is happy beyond belief!!!

Honey is a female Golden/Aussie mix who is about 1 and a half years old. She has had her shots, tested negative for heartworm and in started on preventative. We believe she has been spayed. Very smart but no good with cats. She is loving, affectionate and has wonderful energy.

Chaco is a Corgi/Golden Cross. He loves older children . He is about 3 years old, and is a little shy at first. He has fit right in with our two goldens, and has taken to keeping company with my daughter (13 yrs). He is also independent, and can entertain himself for hours without fussing. He will hang out nearby when I’m working in the office. He’s a very sweet dog whos ears are alert for strangers.

OK, Mr. Teddy is a doll. Loves people, is great with cats, has a wonderful attitude. Likes to go on a leash, great in the car.

He is a little tubby. We think he had lots of table scraps but will check him for thyroid. He was picked up in lower NM as a stray, no one came for him. But he was clearly loved and given a lot of training.

He has one quirk. Does not like male dogs, so he will need to be an only child or with girls. Call and let’s talk about this boy. Here is the list his foster mom did:

-A definite people dog, loves to be with people (very sweet)
-Responds well to discipline and training (quick learner)
-Excellent with cats
-Does not like other male dogs
-Seems to do well with female dogs
-Not scared of thunder and lightening
-Crate trained
-Housebroken
-Great on leash for walks
-Calm but playful disposition
-Did not dig in my backyard, but who knows – he’s a dog
-Calm and easy to groom
-Loves belly rubs and kisses on top of his head!!!

OK, a few more updates for Mr. Ted…clear on thyroid, he is just chunky (and losing on good food). Clear on blood sugar, no diabetes. And clear on heart worm. So he is a healthy dude.

ADOPTED

Luke is a very friendly with people, children and other dogs. He is playful and calm, and enjoys and seeks (needs?) attention. His new home will need to have a fence that he can’t get over as he likes to wander, probably looking for new acquaintances or out of boredom. He was picked up by the rescue as a stray, probably because of his exploring tendencies. Otherwise a very lovely dog.

Dakota is very loving and affectionate. Loves people, does not like other dogs. He needs to be in a home where he is the only. He is mellow and likes to hang with his people. This is a great dog for someone who wants a loving buddy by the side.

Bart passed an interview yesterday. Unless things fall apart, he is moving in with an FBI agent in Ft. Lauderdale. We are working on transportation now. If any of you know anyone driving that direction, please let me know. Bart will have to suffer the complete indignity of being spoiled rotten; I know this guys track record with dogs.

Bart really enjoys people and other dogs. He is house trained and very affectionate. Loves to go on walks. He needs a fenced in yard that is not chain link since he has mastered the art of climbing. Didn’t like jail.

Chopper is one of the nicest dogs we have ever had. He is very loving and affectionate.
He gets along with everyone. He likes the other dogs, enjoys life a lot and is not flapped by anthing..

Chopper is blind but you would not know it. He does not think about it, he just finds his way. He can get outside through the dog door, take care of himself and get back to the bedroom in a flash.

Call Kathleen (345-3737) for more info. She has been fostering him and knows everything about this boy. She adores him, but if she an find him a home, she will be able to foster more dogs.

Buddy is a Golden Cocker cross. He has a cocker face and a golden personality. He is an older guy who was in terrible shape when we got him. Doesn’t ask for much. Is used to being outside so is a little confused by *indoors*. We shaved his coat since it was all mats and pee and poop. Now he looks like a shorn sheep.

Buddy is loving, funny and loves other dogs.
