Titus has been with us for 2 weeks now and he’s adapted extremely well to his foster home. He looks forward to his daily walks and is walking 4 to 6 miles a day now. One of his favorite pass times is to hang out in the yard on squirrel patrol. When he’s tired he …

Titus-adjusting
Titus is adjusting to his foster life and revealing his true personality. Every foster dog takes some time to adjust and we respect that (except Jake… he was at home from day one… he was the only foster we had that slept a whole night through the first night!) . You never know what these dogs have lived through and can only speculate as to what as …
Titus-Griffith Park Hike
We took advantage of the quiet long weekend to take Titus hiking in Griffith Park and burn off some puppy energy. Besides, a hike in the hills beats a workout at the gym any day…and it’s a lot less smelly. With the recent hot weather, the vegetation is starting to dry out. Fire season isn’t …
Titus-Mission: Squirrel
Titus had a busy day today. First he was whisked off to the vets for a full exam. He wasn’t very thrilled that this was the start of his day so we made it up to him by spending some of the afternoon at the “squirrel” park. All our dogs love this park because there …
Titus-update
Titus has a beautiful Golden smile that can light up your day. He is very observant and is always looking up… at birds, planes, helicopters and butterflies. Titus came from a suburb of Los Angeles that is in the desert, so he enjoys roaching in the grass (even though ours is looking rather sad due …
Titus
We’re back… and we have a new foster, Titus. He had a run in with a car, ended up at a local shelter and was surrendered by his owners, who didn’t want this lovely lad any longer. Titus has a beautiful big head and is a terrific looking Golden. His body needs to catch up …
Hiatus
Hello friends! We are taking a small break and will be away from the blog for a little while. We’ll be back before you know it, fostering more Golden pups in need. In the meantime, I’ll be posting pics of a few, more exotic animals over at Open Shutter. Take care and we’ll see you …
Jake-adopted-the new fresh prince of Bel Air
Jake found his forever family today! He is now the new fresh prince of Bel Air, where he is going to live with his new family. We’re sure he’s going to be spoiled like a king and have a great time exploring his new domain. Jake will have plenty of room to run and even …
Jake-focused
Jake loves to watch the world go by outside the window. I saw he was extra interested in something. The enemy on his lunch break. This squirrel was doing back flips for about 5 minutes. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get a good shot of that. but he kept Jake entertained for a little over an hour. …
Jake-update
Jake is really enjoying having us all to himself and loves to play. He has so much energy we have dubbed him “the Red Rocket”. I have a feeling this guy would be really good at agility. After a big walk, in the mornings, we have a high energy play. Jake loves the Westpaw ball. …
Sky & Jake
Sky & Jake are a good example of the different shades Golden Retrievers come in. We’ve had reds and golds and they are both very pretty or handsome in the case of these 2 fellows. Sky is trying to entice Jake to play but they have very different styles of playing. Sky likes to wrestle …
Jake-update
Jake is settling in to our home and we are finding out new things about him as he does. Goldens are hunting dogs and Jake has the nose of a keen hunter. He puts his nose to the ground and sniffs every tiny scent. Jake is very keen on moving things so he would not …
Jake
Meet Jake, our latest foster who showed up rather suddenly yesterday afternoon. Two year old Jake has been shuffled around in his short life and just wants to settle down with one family for the rest of his days. This youngster is still adjusting to his latest stop but Sky was eager to help him …
Sky-update
Sky missed Candy the day after she went home but we lavished him with love and he’s doing better now. We are starting to know more about Sky’s personality. He has some puppy traits about him, he likes to dig (I don’t know what it is about our peach tree, but if a dog is …
Candy-adopted!
It’s true… Candy found her forever home today! We knew she would find a home quickly because she was a super special girl. Candy had a very long journey even though she was only 2 years old…she was found on the streets in Taiwan, spent almost a year in rescue there, flew 12 hours to …
Sky
This is Sky, our newest foster. His real name is Skylar but we thought that was too Hollywood for a dog and call him Sky instead. He doesn’t seem to mind. Sky’s family turned him over to rescue and he’s not sure why, so he’s been very sad since he got here. Candy is helping …
Candy-update 2
Candy is doing great and we are seeing her true personality. She is a typical young Golden, full of energy with a touch of mischief for good measure. She likes to collect things and put them on her blanket… stuffies, balls, the frisbee, socks…a shoe…if it’s laying around, she’ll add it to her collection. Candy …
Candy-update
Candy is settling in very nicely to her new life in America. This sweet girl is very gentle and loves to be near people (she’s a Golden!). She enjoys hanging out in the yard with you. Typical of a younger Golden, she gets “the zooms” and therefore enjoys long walks and playing fetch. She would …
