June | 2015 | 12 Hills Dog Rescue

What a busy weekend! I almost feel that going back to work will give me some rest. I imagine that many people feel that way, during the busy summer months. Running a dog rescue on your farm, keeps us on our toes. I Just returned home from a week at our church retreat center for family camp. I had a great time, and now it is back to work and yes, playing catch-up with pictures, stories and updates on all the doggies at 12 Hills.
First, I want to say, we have quite a few older dogs here, that would be awesome companions for someone or a couple that just want a dog that is not quite as active.
Of course we have puppies—as a matter of fact, 5 more puppies were born this week. Freida is very proud of her beautiful litter, and they look almost as large as Shine’s 6 week old puppies. Shine’s puppies are doing nicely, and had their first Vet visit and vaccination. They will be getting a bath this week, and will be ready in 2 weeks.
We have 2 dogs that were found along the highway, and one had a broken leg. Princess Amy is recuperating from her injuries, and will see the Vet again in a few days. A Little guy, a Chihuahua we named Charlie, cried and cried for his family. Who and where are they? He is an older doggie, and has been someone’s lap dog.
We have Sophie back, after 2 years. Her story is a sad one, but she is healing emotionally and is finally beginning to romp and play like her ole self. She will need a home with special people who understand and give her the love and security she needs.
We have an older Italian Greyhound. His name is Kody, and he is a little shy, but coming around. He is a very handsome boy.
We have a large, very handsome boy that was found a few weeks ago. He is young and just needs some training! Chuck named him Rollie!
We still have Cal and Quincy, Benny, Mikey and LOTS of other dogs. If you want any more information, feel free to contact us and we will share with you their information. Yes, summer is a busy time, but it is beautiful here on the farm and the dogs are enjoying the great weather.

This is Charlie–He is looking for his owners???

It is fascinating and exciting to watch puppies change before your eyes. One day they are just tiny little mouse looking creatures, and the next thing you know they are 4 weeks old and getting their own personalities! I think their Mama “Shine”must be wondering–“how did this happen?” She is so happy and proud when we come into the nursery. Of course, I do think she wants a little more attention given to herself, since she is doing all the hard work. Yesterday, she had her spa day–a bath and coconut oil rub massage. She still looks thin, but her eyes shine so bright, we think she is doing well.
After some searching and help from our granddaughter, Kariden each puppy, has a name, and they all start with the letter M. So here are the babies debut–complete with names. I wonder what breed they are? Some look cocker, and it looks like two are chihuahua, and two have hair like Shine. And yes, we are still wondering what breed their Mama is. Is she a maltese mix, or bichon? It really doesn’t matter–Shine is a great little gal!
