Our week has started off with GReat news…Kennedy has been adopted! We knew she would be adopted quickly because of her fantastic personality. Kennedy will be living the good life here in Los Angeles with her new family who adore her. On her last day with us, Kennedy finally got Kona to play with her, …

Kona – Fall Is Here!
Now that fall has kind of arrived here in Los Angeles (sort of…it was only 89F / 32C today!), we actually can spend some quality time outdoors. Hey, anything under 90F is cool:) Kona was loving all the fresh smells as we did some gardening last night. He especially loves to sniff the leaves as …
Life Lessons
Everything important thing you need to know in life you can learn from a dog. Stretch before you play…the downward dog yoga move is a good way to start…. …and make sure to stretch those back end muscles too. Tread lightly and always carry a tennis ball! Smile and the world smiles with you… Surround …
Kennedy
Well, we fell into another foster rather unexpectedly this weekend. Meet Kennedy, a 6 year old girl who was rescued from an LA shelter. Kennedy has been very neglected…her coat is scraggly, she has pressure sores from laying on hard surfaces, fur is missing, her coat is rough, she has fly strikes on her ears …
Kona-Bling
We thought Kona needed a new tag now that he’s part of the family so we went shopping and came across a shop called Urban Puppy. They hand make the coolest tags and customize them for you. We picked this one for obvious reasons: We also had our contact information stamped into the back. The …
Kona – update
I just want to thank everyone for their very kind words on Kona joining our family. I believe if any of you had the opportunity to meet Kona, you would adopt him in a second:) We’ve been asked if we will continue to foster and we love fostering, so once Kona settles in a bit …
Kona- Adopted!
Do you know why Kona is smiling? Why he is joyfully celebrating? We do. Kona is officially adopted….by us. Yes, once again we are “foster failures” and we couldn’t be happier about it:) We love all our fosters but there was something extra special about Kona for us. There was an instant connection, a certain …
Kona-Big Week
Kona had a huge week here with us. First he got neutered as required of all rescue dogs in Los Angeles. Kona was a little groggy when I picked him up but he recovered just fine and was great about not trying to pull out his stitches. Next he kept me company as pulled his …
The Joy of Being
Dogs know how to live, really live it up and enjoy life like no one else on the planet. One of the reasons I love dogs is because they are the epitome of what a good person should be…happy, carefree, loyal and loving. Having a dog in your house is a constant reminder to be …
Foster Updates
We thought we’d share some news we’ve recently gotten on some of our past fosters…. Sunny came to stay with us and Spencer and foster, Jessy, in March 2007. This 10 week old sweetie was full of Golden puppy energy. She and Jessy (4 months old) were a little Golden tornado whirling through the house …
Kona-The Joy of Being a Dog
One of the best rewards of fostering is watching dogs relearn the joy of just being a dog.
Kona – Play Ball
Did someone say “Let’s play ball!”? Whew, that was tiring. Wait, is that another tennis ball?! I’ve got it!
Kona
Yesterday we said goodbye to Luke as he left in a transport up to Homeward Bound in an effort to find him the perfect forever home. He had a great time before he left with lots of pets, a massage and some treats (lo cal!). We’re sure some lucky family will fall in love with …
Lucky Luke-update
Lucky Luke is a very good natured boy with people but would rather not share his space with other dogs or cats. We think he deserves all the attention he wants. This sweet boy loves to be brushed, petted and loved. He is a complete velcro dog and will be by your side no matter …
