Kennedy

by

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

by

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

by

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!

by

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

by

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

by

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 …

Kona-Getting To Know Kona

by

Kona spent a nice Sunday with us as we got to know him better. We found out he loves tennis balls and he flips them around on his own if you don’t throw them for him. He’s very agile and extremely fast. He politely waits for you to throw the ball. He doesn’t mind hats. …

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

by

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 …

Lucky Luke

by

Meet Lucky Luke. He’s our first foster back from our trip down under. Poor Luke wasn’t so lucky when he lost the only family he’s know for the past 10 years to some circumstances beyond his control. He didn’t let all that get him down and has a very nice smile for everyone he meets. …

Titus-Mission: Squirrel

by

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 …

Sky & Jake

by

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 …

Remembering The Original Red Dog

by

Today  would have been the 12th birthday  of our first Golden Retriever, Raja. He was our first heart dog, the one who taught me what really matters in life. I have never met anyone, human or dog, that lived every day to it’s fullest as well as Raja. He savored each moment like a new …
