New Beginnings, Happy Endings and Valiant Efforts

The following is transcribed from an email sent to me by Dawn Hamilton:

With lots of help from wonderful people we moved 7 dogs from AZ to points west and north.   Rosie, the surviving puppy from the NV mess went to her new home in Southern CA and is settling in  with her new family.   Remy, a 6 yr old bitch aggressive, over bred girl with a matronly figure ( aka boobs hanging low) went to a wonderful retired gentleman who lost his last doberman in June and said his house and bed were too empty.    He is very happy with her, (same name too as his very first Doberman) and she must think  she hit the lottery !!

  

Roscoe and TT  are now in LaNae’s capable care for fostering and getting some weight on.  Linda Hyke has taken on Lexi, 8 yr old with torn ACL ( probably forever) and is going to get Carina ready for her forever home which shouldn’t take long.   Redmon also known as Pancake for his favorite position, flattened on the ground, is now in the very capable hands of Jewlz in WA and I’m sure will continue to make drastic improvement in his learning to trust people and having fun being a dog.

HUGE THANKS go to two of our local kennel workers, Dan and Regina, who took off work to drive the trip for us, saving ME from yet another trip, and to Kay Pedisich who drove from WA down to Grants Pass OR to pick up five dogs, then back to Portland OR and Centralia WA to drop off dogs.    Dan and Regina ran into rain, hail and snow, delaying the trip by an hour or more but because these are all great people who are doing what needs to be done for the dogs, no one got their panties in a bunch and everything worked out, even though Jewlz, LaNae and Kay didn’t make it home until the wee hours of this morning.    I can’t tell you how rewarding it is for me to work with such great volunteers and make these wonderful miraculous trips work.   

I now have only Ebear, and JJ aka Rock N Roll left in the kennel from the NV mess.    It’s taken a little over two months but Titan, Snort, Izzy, Brindee, Remy, Rosie, Ava, Teala and Crystal are in forever homes.   Cece, Ebear, JJ, Sader, Prancer, Lexi, TT, Roscoe, Boy and Redmond, are in great foster homes.  The Russian bitch  he owned who was mother of the pups, was transferred to Amy Belfamy here in Phoenix with the blessings of her breeder.  We lost Repo, Violet, and Clyde to Parvo and an upper respiratory infection and had to put down Cowboy, the deaf boy, but all in all, thanks to all the wonderful donations and donors  we’ve all come through it and there is a much brighter future for these dogs ahead.
