Millie’s New Home
Millie finally got a new home. She had allergy issues and loss of fur when MSPMSR got her. Her compulsive behavior of whining, scratching, and destroying toys got under control. Now she lost 10 lbs. and is on good dog food, we could tell she was feeling great. Here is a note from her new human:
“We thought you would like to know that Millie had a great first night. She and Mickey have become fast friends. She went for a jog with us this morning in regional park and just loved it.”
She is going to love her huge yard and dog friendly neighbors. We are so happy for Millie!
Dominic’s Happy New Year
Dominic was saved from a rescuer from craigslist and was afraid that he would not find a great home that a reputable rescue could provide. She didn’t want him to go to just anyone and called us because she was afraid he might be used for breeding or baiting. Families are not often suitable or lie to get a dog that is free. He could have ended up in a bad situation and like us wish re-homing dogs on this list would end. From the family: Dominic is the sweetest dog we have ever met! Everyone that meets him falls in love with him. He just wants to be held and loved all day long. We love him so much!
MSPMSR knew this family would love him forever and it was a great match. They adore him and loves his personality, loyalty, and how he loves just being with you. He craves the attention they have to offer.
Knowing the way craiglist works, people do not have the means to place a dog in a professionalism manner. We hear the cruelities on who scours that list and how they obtain dogs with false intentions. We are so glad Dominic came to us and got the family he truly deserves. Did we mention that they just love him to death?
Puppy celebrated Christmas and the New Year Holiday in his new home and is doing Great! Here is a note from his new human:
Happy to report that Rufus has adjusted very nicely to his new home. He remains full of energy and greatly enjoys his twice-daily walks. He has had a chance to meet quite a few of the neighborhood dogs over the holidays. He and ‘Peanut Butter’, the giant poodle mix next door, have plenty of fun coordinating their ‘ready-to-pounce’ moves and generally checking each other out through the fence often, and he has become fast friends with ‘Jack’ (the sheltie next door on the other side) who has come over to play with Rufus in the back yard a few times. He was able to master the housetraining / ‘outside = bathroom’ concept and seems to be very comfortable in his new surroundings (with the exception of the occasional 2-3am wake up call to be let out). Overall, Rufus’ holidays went well — he has become fond of the santa-hat (pictured) even moreso than some of his other toys, having bypassed the option to wear it, in favor of carrying it around like a plush toy! He also got to meet some of the extended family (aka default future dogsitters, should I be out of town), and is learning to keep the barking to a minimum (for a schnauzer at least!).
I have attached a couple of pictures… the first is of Rufus in his default ‘watch-dog’ spot, where he spends a good deal of time monitoring the neighborhood from the elevated living room window, and the second of one of the rare occasions where I was able to get him to pose for a picture with me.
Hope your holidays went well, and thanks again for the amazing adoption x-mas present!
