Lola & Dexter
Two ex-miller Shih Tzus who should never be parted.
We were so unhappy at the mill, but now our foster mommy has us ready to face the world! Lola had eye surgery to remove a yucky eye and she's so much happier now. Dexie is a great little man with personality plus.
|
Our Featured Pet(s) of
the Month are: Lola & Dexter & Jerry
These are just three of
the wonderful dogs we have looking for forever homes with lots
of love, food and attention-- kids have not been sniff tested,
but they could be okay.

Jerry
Peke-a-tude, Handsome, and personality plus
He's such a handsome boy with lots to talk about. He did have some surgery recently to remove some non-cancerous lumps from his back and he's recovering nicely. He's got such dark coloring its almost impossible to get a good picture!

ADOPTION
We
are:
- a rescue group that takes in
surrendered
dogs and dogs we rescue from impound.
- We do occassionally take a
dog to adoption days at petco in Bursnville on a Saturday. (If
one will be taken, it will be listed in their bio. Dogs are
usually adopted out of foster home, after applicant is approved
to adopt the dog. When a dog is at petco, person/family
must fill out adoption application, which is online or available
there at petco.DO NOT EXPECT TO TAKE THE DOG HOME THAT DAY-
as with our foster home adoptions we check references and do
a home visit first. Rest Assured the dog you fell in love with
at Petco will be placed on hold until the checks are complete
THAN you will be notified. ALWAYS LEAVE your phone number on
any correspondance with us and be aware some of us do not have
long distance on our home phone, so you may have to accept a
collect call from us.

small dogs. NO dogs are EVER kept in any barn. That is not where
a dog should be ever!
