On Saturday Animal Resources was scheduled for participation in the annual event at La Reina School For Girls in Thousand Oaks. We have been preparing for this for two weeks, having to find just the right dogs that would act just right in a very fancy setting. We couldn’t have them barking and doing all the regular doggie stuff that dogs do at adoption events. They had to be mellow, allow themselves to be handled by a lot of people, and just keeping their cool. Well I picked them out and there was the poodle, a chihuahua, and a yorkie mix. These guys were just the best. All very well behaved, never barked. They were great being handled by so many people. They just kept giving kisses non-stop. They were so tired at the end, they were all sound asleep when Lisa, a foster for us, showed up to pick them up for the night. Oh, and by the way, they all got adopted to wonderful homes and I spent all day Sunday doing homes checks and filling out paperwork. I want to especially thank Emily for all her help and for being there on so short notice. And Lisa for fostering and keeping the puppies safe on Saturday night. A job well done to both of you!
A Very Big Dog
Akita Rescue contacted me about pulling this boy and his sister and bringing them out to Akita Rescue in Riverside. Well sis had to wait until she was fixed on Sunday, but the boy was ready to go, to where? We decided to place him in the Simi holding facility for the weekend until his sister was ready and finished with her medical. So I pulled both, placed the girl on the spay-neuter list for Sunday and transported this big boy to Simi to await transport on Monday. Now remember the dog weights maybe 110 lbs or so and he didn’t want to get in the kennel, and I mean didn’t want to get in the kennel. It took two staff members and myself to get him in there. we finally did, but I am not looking forward to Monday. He must have had a very bad experience at one time with kennels. Well I know he found out there was nothing to fear from my kennels, so maybe Monday won’t be as bad. We will see.
