Sochi

Some recent shots of our latest foster, Sochi. He's a chihuahua mix that we've had for the last five weeks, but it looks like he's finally found a home. We'll miss him for sure as he's a great little guy. He reminded me of Peter Dinklage in Game of Thrones; he may be smaller than everyone else, but he's smarter, more clever, and more charming. A very tenacious and playful dog, he was not afraid to mix it up with our two dogs, Buckwheat and Hazel, who are four times his size. Good luck and godspeed little one. "Are your ready, Sochi?" "Yipe! Yipe!"

The Foster Dog 10

10 images from my experience fosterig dogs; the dogs, the toys, and the mayhem.

Canyon

 

 Canyon is our second foster dog through All Aboard Animal Rescue. He's a 1-1.5yr old German Shepherd/Husky mix. He was found one morning leashed to the shelter. He had a huge 24in. slash on his back between his shoulder blades like someone had cut him. He also has a club foot. His back paw was not fully formed when he was born. Both the cut and his foot were badly infected which he made worse from over licking. Now, the cut on his back is healing nicely, however, his foot is still bandaged up. He goes to the vet twice a week to have it checked out, medicine applied, and re-wrapped. It seems like quite the painful process, but Canyon handles it with dignity and not even flinch. I went with him and took pictures of the ordeal (see below). All the vet care is graciously donated through Animal Hospital of Colorado and Dr. Boehmer. Canyon holds no grudges despite all he's been through. He's the kindest and most even tempered dog. He's starting to get a bounce back in his step and loves to go on walks even with a bum foot. He can't be stopped! He's certainly an inspiration.

Boulder

Boulder is the dog we have been fostering for the last two weeks through All Aboard Animal Rescue. It is the same place we got Buckwheat who changed our lives forever for the better! We wanted to help out however we could, so we decided to start fostering and Boulder is our first foster down this new exciting road. He's a good dog, a one year old or so Australian Cattle Dog mix. He likes to play, go for walks, but especially he likes car rides, and he'll do anything for you as long as you have treats! We hope he finds the perfect forever home.
