New Puppies

I'm sad because we are getting in 2 blind puppies....but I won't be able to foster them. :-(

No new fosters...

....since I'm slack and haven't been updating this.....as of today I have no new fosters. In March I fostered 3 deaf/visually impaired brothers! Dylan, the first brother (and the largest) got adopted first and went up to PA....way too far! I hear from his new family pretty frequently and he has other Dane brothers and also a German Shepherd puppy his age to grow up with. Einstein, the next one got adopted a little while later and stayed right here in NC! I get to see him sometimes at some of our Meet and Greets. He also has another Dane brother and some other fur brothers and sisters. Woohoo!!! And last but not least, Rory has been adopted and now lives in NJ. He has a Dane brother and Dane sister to play with. These puppies were all very special to me and it was so much fun to foster them. It was really hard to part with these sweet boys but I know they are all doing great and will have awesome lives! Titan was probably pretty happy when they all got adopted so he could have all my attention back though! We are back in action going to Meet and Greets and my big boy is as happy as can be!

Raleigh and Chance...again

Someone isn't keeping quite the foster log she planned so I've decided to update it for her so she can keep her journal of fosters going...

Raleigh went to his new home last month - the home of another foster family in the MAGDRL program. They'd been looking for a blue dane and fell in love with Raleigh.

Chance has been accepted into a lab rescue in Virginia. He'll be transported to northern NC on Friday and will then have one more day of transport until he reaches his final destination near DC.

Molly (the pit bull) has been listed on Petfinder and will remain as a "foster" until she can be placed.

And finally...once Titan and Roxy settle from the recent chaos, I'm sure another dane will come along and there will be more excitement from the crazy farm! :)

Meet Chance

Chance is a black lab/hound mix that was found at a worksite in G'boro a couple weeks ago. He unfortunately didn't have a microchip so... a keeper he became! Don't let him fool you, while he enjoys hanging out with his foster brothers and sisters, he's really hopeful for his own forever home. Chance loves his people and wants to be with them constantly. If he can't see you, he'll let you know he's looking for you!

Chance had a minor soft tissue injury on his rear leg but this will heal and he'll be good as new. He's also heartworm positive. He'll be on Heartgard for three months then his blood will be rechecked. It may be that this will rid his body of the worms or it may take a more aggressive injection therapy. We'll know more in two more months.

Chance is ~12 months old and full of puppy energy. I'm sure more photos will follow! He's too handsome not to share!

Raleigh the puppy

Raleigh is a 7-week old dane puppy who has already had two surgeries in his short few weeks of life. He was born with glaucoma so severe that his right eye had to be removed. He also had a procedure due to a herniated umbilical. Raleigh had a second procedure on his eye not even a week after the first. It looks much better now and he is full of spunk and energy! Raleigh will be adopted when he is 12-weeks old by someone in North Carolina. Til then he's enjoying playing with his foster brothers and sisters!

New addition

Well I just found out Sunday I will be fostering a tiny puppy! WooHoo! He is a 7 week old Dane, not sure what color yet. Me and my sidekick Terri will be picking him up this Friday night in Raleigh. Long story short.....a breeder brought him to the vet to have his eye looked at and he also had a hernia; the eye ended up having glaucoma very bad, they are having to remove his eye. The hernia is also large. A very nice vet tech would not let the lady take him home to euthanize and instead contacted us! The vet will be doing surgery to correct both ailments on Thursday and as long as everything goes well he will coming to Goldsboro this weekend for LOTS of love for a while until he finds his furever home!
I did find out today at lunch time that he only weighs about 9lbs!!! Very tiny....half the size of Duke the cat!

Welcome to my blog....not sure if anyone will read this except my brown-haired twin. I will not promise a funny story every day but hopefully a couple. I will start with Titan, my big brindle boy. He came from the Humane Society at about 9-10wks old, already neutered....not sure how i feel about the whole early spay/neuter thing. Probably a good thing for the idiots who don't ever get their pets sterilized. That will be another day's post....spay/neuter. Anyhow, Titan grew into a 100lb gorgeous momma's boy! He is a Great Dane/Plott Hound mix. He is a very smart dog that is obedient about 90% of the time, the other 10% he is off in the field eating fish and whatever else he can find that will make him stink and empty his stomach contents. His counterpart Roxy, is usually right there by his side. She is a Chow mix....with who know's what else! We still have yet to figure it out. My brother found her in a parking lot limping around and somehow she became part of our pack. She is Titan's small fluffy twin....she is also brindle, but a red brindle. She gets her attitude from her Chow ancestors. These two can always be found causing trouble together!
Now to the main reason for this blog....I have always enjoyed helping "save the dogs" and will continue to do so as long as possible. Me and Titan have started volunteering/fostering with the Mid-Atlantic Great Dane Rescue League. They have such an awesome rescue to work with and I hope to one day adopt a Great Dane from them.
The first boy we helped was Boris, we assisted with a transport and a one night sleepover with him. What a gorgeous black Dane he was; he didn't last long as he was such a young boy(16mos) and a very nice family adopted him.
My first true foster was Sadie. I had her about 4 weeks. What an awesome experience. She has been adopted by a wonderful family in SC. She is a 6-7mo deaf merlequin full of spunk!! Sadie was a very intelligent girl and wanted nothing but a warm lap to sit in! The house is quiet without her as Titan loved romping around the house playing with her....and even Roxy enjoyed having her around, that is very rare for my Roxy girl! I really enjoyed having her and miss her TONS!
I can't wait to get another foster......
