homes thanks to PetsMart and Petline 9!)
Special thanks to our wonderful volunteer, Carol: mom to rescues Mercedes and Molly. Carol calls every month to check up on the new rescue families to make sure everyone is doing well. Thanks Carol, we love you!
Please
consider ....
Saving just one rescue won't change the world...but, surely, the world
will change for that one rescue.
October:
ELWAY -
4 year old male Pomeranian who was found wandering loose on a busy road. This nice lady, who got a Pom rescue from us last February, got him home and called the owner on the tag...they had since given him to someone else, neither of which want him. : - ( He had a bad eye, which owner tells me is from a spider bite years back, and I believe he is completely blind in that eye. We will get him in to our vet as soon as possible for an over-all well check. had retained testicles and did not have current immunizations. After we got him all fixed up, our vets wonderful accountant took him home to the family and they all fell in love! He is now happily living with children who play with him, and adults that adore him!
TOBY:
Got an awesome new dad who is a "Harlie dude" who will be taking him for lots
and lots of rids. Toby was thrilled with this new arrangement...you should
have seen his smile!
CASINO: Will also be getting some mileage in with his new dad who is a long-haul trucker and wanted a companion for the long rides from state to state. He also will have a new Bichon brother, back in Texas to spend time with when he makes it home.
September:
Rabbit (right): Needed a new home when his owner died. One of our
boarding clients wanted another pet to keep her senior dog Taffy (left) company, and thought
he would be just great for her!
Thumper: was a special needs Bichon. She was born with a bad
heart and needed to move to a lower altitude. She found a lovely home with
some people who are moving from Colorado to California to care for their
parents. They had just lost their beloved Bichon and thought fell in love
with Thumper from the internet photo.
BEA:
(on the right) Was extremely shy, and needed a very gentle hand to teach her
trust. She was adopted by a wonderful lady who got a similiar dog a year
ago. Kito is now the most wonderful outgoing Bichon one could meet,
as you can tell by the smile on hi face.
Madeline:
will have a wonderful new life with this family!
Marshall:
on the
right, was 9 and his first adoptive mom said he had too much
energy for her. Well, that won't happen with his new family of a Bichon
brother and a hu-mom who walks 3-5 miles a day!
Boots, Toto and Zoe all found homes during the PetsMart adoption weekend Sept. 12-14. Thank you PetsMart for the help!
August: was a busy month!
TUCKER is a 2 1/2 year old male Bichon,
who just found a new home with this happy lady and will have a Visla to play
with as well. Nice way to end the month. Last day, last placement.
Molly
was that rare, "young, housebroken, female" we seldom get. She actually
sat around here for about 3 weeks while we tried to find the perfect home for
her. She is now living with this darling woman and her husband. She
will have another dog to play with as well and a big back yard and can even
"hang" with the horses if she wants to. She was referred to us by another
Rescue family. Yippeee!!! Happy ever after stories to share!
THANK YOU PETSMART AND PETLINE 9 IN HELPING US PLACE THE FOLLOWING RESCUES ON AUGUST 10th:
BOUNCE,
2 year old Pomeranian
GIZMO, 4 month old
mix pup
MARLANA, 3 yr old Min Pin
**************************************
Ernie
is thrilled his new sister picked him for her new
playmate, and he gets to go to a new forever home now!
Walter-Cameron, on right,
is looking very happy to be going home with a new mom and his new 12-year old
brother, Driscol-Capris.
July:
Bijou, was a
darling, well behaved, housebroken female P**dle. She is moving to Craig
Colorado to be with her new mom, who found her on our website, and drove all the
way down here to get her.
BEA, was 4-6 years old, and dumped
in the Boulder Humane Shelter. She found a wonderful new dad, who just
lost his P**dle of 14 years, and he will definitely give this little one a great
home.
Harrison,
was 3 years old and still not housebroke, so he
was relegated to the garage full time. He was adopted by this wonderful
couple who have had 0 accidents since taking him home. He is getting tons
of attention, so will do fine now.
June:
Pierre was a happy-go-lucky Bichon who won the hearts of his new family, and is
living happily every after in Montrose, Colorado.
AMY:
Was adopted out about 6 months ago, but her large dog brother decided to take a
dislike to her, so she had to come back. We called Min-Pin Rescue and they
helped us find a wonderful new home for her with people who had a 6 year old
Min-Pin to keep her company during the day.
May:
NIMBO:
Is an 11 month old Bichon who was an owner turn in at the local shelter.
He was so terrified there, that they asked if we would take him in.
As we exited the shelter, his tail went up, he put a smile on his face and he
acted like he knew he was headed to a better place. He hung around for
about 10 days playing with the "gang" and was then adopted by a wonderful
couple. Check out all the smiling faces, including Nimbo!
LUCY:
Came to rescue at a year old as an "excitement piddler" which is very
frustrating for owners. After spending a few weeks here, she was much
better, and was then adopted by Heather who said her other Bichon while growing
up was and still is an excitement piddler, so she doesn't mind.
KILLER: was a lost/abused puppy that ended
up with a happy-ever-after story with this wonderful lady. He was only
about 14 weeks old and found wandering loose, absolutely terrified of
everyone/thing. He warmed up to Kenny immediately and me also, and once
bonded, he was our constant had to be held buddy. His new mom promises to
shower him with oodles of love and attention, and to try and fatten him up.
Baccus looks extremely happy going
on his way to his new home in New Mexico! He was a 6-7 year old male found
wandering loose in Longmont where he was picked up and put in the shelter there.
Someone saw him on the Shelter's website and e-mailed us. The shelter released him
to one of our volunteers (thank you Chris & Barbara Gemma), who brought him to
us. His new family saw him on our website. They had been on our
wait list for a long time, and were so excited to get him they drove 7 hours one
direction, to come get him. Now this senior dog is living with a senior mom who
will spoil him rotten. From what we heard, it was love at first sight!
This was a quick happy-ever-after ending.
April:
Buster got a swell new family to
move in with. And his new sister, Ellie Mae will have a new playmate as
soon as she decides he OK. He was a 3 year old Bichon who had a bad habit
of marking territory every few months. New mom's said they will work on
this, and promise to be in for the long-haul.
FRAISER: a 6-7 year old male Bichon found a new home with an older
Spanish couple who are just in love with this dog. He will learn a new
language and get lots of treats and walks, and will also have lots of family to
dot on him with visiting kids, grandkids, etc.
Bogie:
was beginning to mark territory at the nursing home he was placed in 2
years ago, so we needed to move him to a new home. Fortunately, he made a
lasting impression on the employees and two of them took him home to live with
them, and he now has a new doggie brother and cat sister (who is not pleased) to
hang with. Within a few hours he was playing and romping and a very happy
dog in his new space.
March:
Cyndi is
here with her new "mystery" puppy. We cleaned him up and still think he
might be a Havanese. But whatever he is, he is a cutie-pa-too-tee and will
get tons of attention and love with his new mom.
Linda looks real happy with her new friend, Yoyo.
Yoyo was a 6-year old
Toy Poodle who came to us via a shelter when his owners decided they had too
many pets and Yoyo had to go. We are very happy he will now be an only
child and will get very spoiled by his new mom.
February: Came in with 12 dogs already in rescue. Monday morning the 3rd, a call to take in another...these are the lucky ones who found homes
Beah,
a 5 year old
shih-Tzu found a wonderful home in Snowmass Colorado with this lovely lady who
waited over a month for her, and made sure she was fully "dog" stocked
before she got her. Complete with bed, brush, comb, toothbrush, eye wash,
leash, collar...you name it, Beah has it!
Chunka, a 5-year
old Chihuahua now has a new family consisting of a new long-hair Chihuahua
brother, 2 human brothers and a humand sister, as well as a pair of hu-parents.
She will get tons of love and attention now! They fell in love with her

Amy
a 6-year old
Min-Pin, now
has a wonderful new family to share her love with. Including a big-dog
brother to watch after her! They say she is really hating the cold, which
makes housebreaking a challenge, but they adore her and she sleep in bed with
them.

FINE, AND I AM SURE HE WILL MAKE THEM A NICE ADDITION TO THEIR FAMILY.

HE WAS ADOPTED TO BE A FRIEND TO A 1 1/2 YEAR OLD CHIHUAHUA, AND I AM SURE HE WILL TRY VERY HARD TO BE A GOOD BUDDY.
KOVU:
A 4 year old Bichon, Was lone man at home due to mom having to return to work. He was use to a family
with children, and we had a family with children on our wait list from months

be easier with them having lots of love to give him.
