Could It Be—Jealousy?

September 22, 2014September 22, 2014 / Nola / Leave a comment

Poor Blue, our very handsome boy seems to be the object of bullying, here at 12 Hills Dog Rescue. I never really thought about dogs being bullies before, but I think that is what is happening.
You see, Blue is a very handsome dog—part pit—with a shiny dark brown coat and huge ears. Besides his handsome appearance, he has a puppy attitude and a loving personality.

Most of the dogs really like him, but then there are a few of the males, that seem to think he is their whipping boy. He doesn’t deserve to be treated that way, when all he wants is to run and play and make friends with all the other doggies here.

As I was cleaning the kennels on Sunday (that’s where I think deep thoughts), it occurred to me, that it must be his muscular body,shiny coat and pleasing personality, that gets him in trouble. Or maybe it is his big beautiful ears. I guess, that bullying occurs everywhere–even at dog rescues.

We are hoping that he finds a loving family soon. H

We love your ears, Blue!

He deserves it

IT’S ALL WORTH IT!

Life is funny isn’t it. The times of my life when I am feeling let down, tired, disillusioned–along comes someone or something to change my perspective.

This morning I was sitting at the computer, working on my sermon for this morning. (I’m also a pastor of a small church) I had just read the story of Barnabus, the encourager, and moved on to check my email messages.
There I found a message and numerous pictures from the family that adopted Lu Lu Legs. Her new name is Sophie, and the pictures tell the story. She looks very content and happy, and loves her new sister dog. There are pictures of her playing with sticks, tug of war, relaxing and riding in a car. All the things that most dogs love to do.
Last night we received a picture from a couple that adopted Trudy. They had her in their engagement picture. She looks so special and important, posing with them for their special announcement. She is loved also.

We are so thankful to the families that adopt our dogs from 12 Hills Dog Rescue. When we need a lift, our families seem to be there to share with us. Thanks so much!

WE HAVE THEM ALL!

Full, is what we are–here at 12 Hills Dog Rescue. Seems the dogs are coming out of the shadows, right before the weather turns cold. I imagine it will only get worse.
So I wanted to update you on the dogs waiting for their forever families. We have the small ones, Isaac, Jackie, and Zoe. We have the small to medium–Buttercup or Sister, as she is called. We have a new little terrier that arrived yesterday, and we will have pictures of her soon.

These are just a few of the small ones that are available. Call us at 12 Hills Dog Rescue for an appointment to meet the little ones, the medium ones, and the large and xtra-large doggies we have at the rescue.

NATIONAL DOG DAY!

August 27, 2014August 27, 2014 / Nola / Leave a comment

I’m a little slow on posting–my daughter-in-law informed me it is National Dog Day, and thought I should write something special–or maybe post some pictures. RIGHT!!! At 12 Hills Dog Rescue—it seems everyday is a special dog day—this evening we received an adorable 8 week old poodle/schnauzer. She is so sweet—and a little nervous to be in a new place. Tomorrow we will start her health regimen, but for tonight, she is getting used to us and some of our small ones.
So, back to National Dog Day! Should I mention the dogs that we loved and lost? Or, maybe the ones we have helped that were extra-special, or maybe some dogs we have here at the rescue now, still waiting for their families.
Last week we lost our special girl Daisy Mae. She was 10 years old and Chuck’s special shadow. Knowing her time was getting short, she needed to be with him whenever she could. She even sat in the pickup on Sunday mornings while he was in church, and enjoyed riding with him on his Mule. So, this year—it seems fitting to honor Daisy Mae. We will miss you, girl!
Mentioning those dogs that we have had for some time come to mind. Dogs like Page, Harley, Chico, Omaha, Jimmy, Emerson–still waiting, for their forever families. We don’t lose hope that they will be adopted. Lu Lu Legs found her family this week, and we are happy for her. Now we have so many others still waiting. . . .
So thanks to all the dogs that have shared their doggie kisses, comfort and love with us over the years. We celebrate knowing each one of you!

Back In the Groove

August 24, 2014August 24, 2014 / Nola / Leave a comment

Fall is fast approaching–even though the weather has been hot and humid, the colors here on the Brigg’s farm are changing. The lush green colors are gone, to be replaced with faded green, yellow and brown.
Autumn or Fall–as I call ii is my favorite time of the year. It is also a time that we use to prepare for the upcoming cold and snowy season that follows.
What does that have to do with a dog rescue? Getting our numbers down before winter is something we always dream about and this year, we are hoping that it really happens. Having a rescue, here on the farm, means that we have to live “rescue and dogs”–24/7.
Recently we read an article about a shelter housing over 60 dogs—with 30 volunteers. How blessed they are, to have all that help! We have close to 60 and sometimes more. There are only 3 of us running the rescue.

As the days and evening cool down, we need to get back in the groove, and accomplish some items we placed on hold during this long, hot summer. Painting the kennel office walls, floor, and storage building, are just a few of the items Chuck has for us to accomplish, before winter is upon us. Then there is the daily cleaning of the kennels and one on one care of the doggies here.
Back in the groove, may be a sixties comment to some people, but to us it means—lots of hard work—with the special dogs that we have been given to care for. Want to volunteer to help out this fall? Just give us a call, or email us. We are also on Facebook and have our own website, 12hillsdogrescue.org.

IT IS AMAZING!

July 3, 2014 / Nola / Leave a comment

Running a dog rescue has its ups and downs. There is always plenty of hard work to do, but the end result is amazing! I am always overjoyed when a plan comes together. I mean the perfect dog for a particular family. Sometimes our dogs wait what seems like a long time for that to happen. I imagine to the dog, it seems even longer.

Case in point is the story of Oswald. He came to us, a little on the thin side, and at once we knew he was a special dog. Oswald, or Ozzie as I call him is an Aussie Bulldog, white with brindle markings. He was low key, loving and always minded his own business, when he was out in the exercise pen. A few times he was allowed to go on the exercise run, but he enjoyed going over to our neighbors and visiting their dogs too much. So

He had great fun there wrestling with our poster gal “Clover”.
Well, to make a long story short and cut to the “happy ending”, Ozwald found his new family and is doing great! His new Mom told me that she dearly loves him, and we are thinking the feeling is mutual for Ozzie.
Amazing—story, and I could share more. Maybe I will post some of our successes soon.

Been Here For Some Time!

We have some doggies that have been waiting for a long time for their families. What should we do in a situation like this? We are a “No Kill” Rescue, and they stay until they are adopted, or another rescue takes them-(which doesn’t happen often). Here are some of the dogs that are still waiting.This is Pete. He is a wire-haired spaniel –that has been neutered. He loves people and enjoys scouting out the wildlife and hanging out with us on the farm. LuLu Legs is another dog that is being overlooked. She is 2 years old, and has been spayed, and had all vaccinations. Legs enjoys riding on the 4WD Mule when the dogs are out for their daily adventure. She does well in the house, and is pretty low key to have around. She has some collie in her background. Just a great dog that needs the right family.This pretty gal was named Flora and is full of energy–and needs a family that likes active dogs. Her coat is dense, and we are suspecting a little Akita in her background. Flora is just about a year old, and needs to be spayed. We have a special fee for her–for the right family!This is Harley! His brother Chico and him look so much alike they are hard to tell apart. We hope that they find a home soon. Chico and Harley, need to go to their new family together, so looking for a farm or acreage. They are sweet boys who are 2 1/2 years old and have been waiting for a long time.Omaha is his name and he is close to 2 years of age. He has been neutered and is looking for a family with a nice backyard so that he can run and play with them. He has a handsome cream colored coat, with some chow in his background.

So that is all of the Close-ups for today! We have many more dogs–waiting! Look on Petfinder.com, or 12 Hills Dog Rescue.org to learn more about 12 Hills Dog Rescue!

While I am Thinkig About It!

What a busy day at the rescue, and yes, we accomplished so much on this beautiful “almost” Spring day. It seems we may have snow or rain in the next couple of days, so cleaned kennels, brushed dogs and completed so many tasks today that needed done. It is amazing what you can do without interruptions.

We needed a day with some positive happenings after finding out that the Village of Walthill was going to rescind the “No Kill” ordinance and go back to destroying some of the dogs in the pound. We are working with them to hopefully help the situation–and in the mean time have been contacted by a couple of rescues that want to help. Now if the condition of the pound were that easy. We are hoping that they will be able to get the heater going again, find some proper bedding and be able to fix the sewer problem. Just some of the obstacles that the village will need to correct to keep dogs there.

But that is the not so good news, but we do have some good news to share. Brandy was adopted last week, and is doing well. We have all the puppies gone from the St. Bernard/Shepherd and Shepherd Beagles. We have been blessed with good families almost every day coming to look at dogs and get the word out. We named 4 new dogs to place on line. One young male is adorable. He was surrendered, and appears to have some Burmese Mountain Dog in his background. I will have new pictures soon. His feet are HUGE and he looks like he is 3 months old. Our little black Lab gal is around 8 weeks old and I finally settled on the name Molasses. I will call her Molly for short. She is growing so fast, and we are waiting to make sure she is healthy from her last vaccination. We have a sweet Chow mix female that is young, but has had one litter. And the most exciting is our beautiful collie that was given to us for adoption. His name is Alex, and he has papers showing his bloodline. He is shy but wants so badly to find a home with a family to spend time with.

Besides the dog rescue activities, we are in the midst of scraping wallpaper off the living room walls. Not a dull moment at the Brigg’s farm for sure. Need to run and get back to scraping, but we still have other dogs that I didn’t mention, so don’t forget to check out petfinder.com and 12 Hills Dog Rescue Facebook. This time of year we are always full of puppies and other great dogs.

Here is a picture of Lily a 5 month old Corgi mix. She is a sweetheart and would make an excellent lap dog.

Some Very Nice Dogs!

March 1, 2014 / Nola / Leave a comment

We have some great dogs at the rescue waiting for Spring to arrive. The picture above is Stu—he is 7 months old, full of playfulness and very loving. He has a cute little overbite and we are thinking some Pekinese is in his background. We also have Pete—a wire haired male of about 2 years. He is such a nice boy–and is on the list also to be neutered. Here is his picture,Nova is a handsome dog and has lots of energy to run or jog with. He is a year old now and is ready to go. In this picture he looks like he is smiling. His girlfriend is Sheba and she is quite the character. Loves to play ball and enjoys running and hanging out with you. She is a year also, and on the list to be spayed.Ozzie—is such a nice boy. He is a 2 year old Aussie Bulldog and is so well mannered and kind. He is tired of the kennel and wants to be out and about exploring. Lover Boy is one of my special favorites. He came here so thin and beat up, that we didn’t recognize his breed. Now he is happy and healthy and just wants a family that will make special time for him. When he wags his tail, his entire body moves.Callie is quite the gal—a 3 year old yellow lab/Toller mix. That breed is used for duck hunting, although I am not sure if I spelled it correctly. We haven’t taken her hunting, but know she loves to be with people and is very sweet.Then we have a boy or I should say young man that needs a home desperately. Blue is a pit–and is such a nice boy. Because of his breed, no one is beating down the door to adopt him, and of course, we need to be extra diligent when adopting his breed of dog. Blue is a year old now, and loves people and most dogs. He has been neutered and has had all vaccinations. He would be a great dog to have on an acreage or in the country.Blondie is one of our special needs dogs that will hopefully find a new home soon. His right front shoulder doesn’t work correctly, because of an injury–but he does great on 3 legs–can spin and jump and play– and wants a family that can look beyond his disability. Blondie would make a great dog for someone with a big back yard.Bear–what a name for such a small dog. Bear is almost 2 years old (we think)—and has lots of energy. She would make a great dog for an active family. She is a tough little gal–and if she doesn’t like another dog–watch out!Emerson and Jerry are both nice boys and seem to get overlooked all the time. They both appear to be part Heeler or cattle dog. Emerson has a very deep bark–which almost sound like a hound. Regardless They are great dogs, and both need families. A farm, acreage or even a big back yard, would make them happy. Here is Emerson—and then Jerry!Page is another dog that is overlooked constantly. She is 2 years old now and has decided she wants her new family this Spring. She is part Bassett and very loving when she knows you. She should probably be in a family with older children or adults, as she is a little insecure around children.Omaha—named after the people of the Omaha tribe–is a great looking dog, and has really calmed down after he was neutered. He would probably do better if he was the only dog, or with another female. He is part chow and the rest is up to your imagination.Well, I could go on and on about each and every dog. I have left out Chloe the Lab/boxer mix, and Jimmy, and Maggie Mae and Marmaduke, Buddy–Pearl–and Sophie—Oh no–absolutely need to share Sophie. Had her since she was 5 or 6 weeks and she was run over a week or so before coming here. Has a leg shorter than the other on the back and a cropped tail, but that doesn’t stop her from prancing around and showing everyone how beautiful she is. She is a year now and I call her Sophie–Bug! What great kisses she shares with me. A little shy around people, but given the chance, she will love you forever. Yes, she is considered special needs—but does wonderful.Here is she–now tell me she isn’t a beauty!

Is It Spring Yet?

February 18, 2014February 18, 2014 / Nola / Leave a comment

It’s funny–it always seems in February,I start thinking of Spring. Today, the sun was shining and it felt like Spring outside for maybe 3 hours. I wonder if the dogs dream of spring time, and the new grass and the new smells in the air. I can visualize them laying on their back with their legs in the air, dreaming about romping in the pasture, on a sunny day, as they head to the hill with Chuck for their daily run. They have such a good time on their daily run. Retrieving the ball, wrestling with each other and attempting to be that special one to sit on his lap to soak up as much attention as they can muster in an hours time.

This year, I am dreaming of warmer weather, so we will be able to build a big yard for the main kennel, and a fenced in yard for our house dogs. We won’t have to watch each one so closely and they can still run and play without the worry of wandering off or being run over. Then there is the hospital room that needs to be remodeled yet, and the special building for Mama’s and their new puppies. Where do we start?

Besides dreaming about Spring—I find myself thinking about the dogs that need families yet. What kind of families do they need? Where should they be living? In the country or town? Will a particular dog be fine in a home with another dog, or should they be the only dog? Sometimes our dogs come back and we try again. We want the dog and family to fit—we want them both to be happy—a family pet is a big commitment and one that shouldn’t be taken lightly.

Enough of the dreaming, or deep thinking—and onward to right now. Even though we expect more when Spring does arrive, we have puppies right now that are looking for a home. They are shepherd/beagle and ready for new families.

He needs a name!

Farm Dogs

January 7, 2014 / Nola / Leave a comment

Let Me Tell You About,. Living in farm country there is almost always a demand for a good farm dog. Here at 12 Hills Dog Rescue we have a number of nice dogs that would be great farm dogs.

There is Shep—He is a very handsome yellow shepherd type dog with white feet. Good to look at, a thick coat and a very good sweet personality. He is around 18 months and is a large dog. He likes people, hasn’t chased our cattle and gets along with other dogs.

We have Emerson, who looks to me like a heeler mix. He is very handsome with great markings and begs to get out of his kennel. He has been good around the farm when out. He is just waiting for a opportunity.

Jerry is another Heeler mix that has great markings and when out and about doesn’t bother anyone. He is 2 years old.

Angel and Sam are both Shepherd mixes. Larger dogs than the others. They are good girls with Angel being a little shyer than Sam. They are 2 years old also, and would make great farm dogs.

So, that is just some of the dogs here at 12 Hills Dog Rescue that would make good farm dogs. I am sure we have others would fit the bill. They are just waiting for the right families to come along.

A NEW BEGINNING! WHAT AN ADVENTURE 2014 WILL BE!

December 31, 2013 / Nola / 2 Comments

12 Hills Dog Rescue is ready for a new year. In 2013 we managed the pound for our community. We saved over 100 dogs, but in the process overloaded the rescue. In 2014 our goal is to get back and track with hopefully fewer dogs here at the rescue. We hope to be able to work more with other rescues–move more doggies and yes, “Find New Families” for the ones we rescue.

I am working hard to make our word press blog to be more of a website–with a calendar for volunteers and events. I hope to have more time to do pictures and publish them so the public can see what we have.

If I could dream for just one moment–my dream for 2014 would be a way to provide a free spay and neuter clinic for our community. It is so needed to keep the puppy population down. I would also dream that each family that comes along to adopt, would find the perfect dog for their family, and love it forever.

I had better stop dreaming and get back to what this post is about. A NEW BEGINNING FOR US AT 12 HILLS! More adventures are in store for us in 2014.

Thanks to All of you that have adopted from us–those who have supported our mission in prayer and donations. Let’s end this year in a good way and begin again!

The weather in Nebraska is beautiful today. Not too hot and just right to walk and see the colors of the season. The dogs at 12 HIlls Dog Rescue love this type of weather. Everyone is so happy–It is almost like they are saying, “What a Great Day!” That’s if they could talk to us in our language. But that is a topic for another day. Anyway, I walked around to the outside dogs and greeted all of them, and took a few photos for updates on petfinder.com.

I could tell that the dogs are enjoying the new dog houses that were donated thanks to Tom, Dale and Denise. The were made with love and decorated special. On nice warm fall days it is easy to be thankful for all our volunteers and donations, but when it is rainy and cold, or I am tired and we have more dogs than we can handle, I tend to forget the blessings. It has been one of those weeks for all of us here at the rescue. Rescue work is very hard, and much of the time it is a thankless job—but I need to remember that the dogs appreciate the love and care they receive and let the rest go. Yes, Autumn is my favorite season—it always reminds me of the beauty out there and the blessings that I take for granted.

Now, back to the photos: These are pictures of some of the doggies that we have that need a forever home.

Where Do We Begin???

September 23, 2013 / Nola / 1 Comment

Where do we begin?? Should we even go there? These are questions that we have asked ourselves at 12 Hills Dog Rescue. I am talking about filing for a 501c3 non-profit status. There are many questions and concerns that we have concerning this matter, and I just need the right person to answer them for us.

Will it be worthwhile for the rescue–making it easier for grants and adoptions?
Is it going to be all time consuming-keeping up with the paperwork?
Will there be more people to volunteer on site, as well as do photographs, fostering, adoption events, etc.?
Then there is the initial paperwork, cost?

These are all questions that we would like answered–so if there is anyone out there that has any comments or answers, please pass them on.

More Dogs That Have Waited Long Enough

September 8, 2013September 9, 2013 / Nola / 1 Comment

Placing a few more pictures on the blog of some of our dogs that have been with us for too long. They are great dogs, but just never chosen. When you have 75-80 dogs at a time it is hard to keep ahead of the ones coming in. This is Jerry—a heeler mix. He has been neutered–and is always overlooked. He likes to be the Alpha dog–so a one or 2 dog home with older kids desired.

Jenny is a great girl, just a little insecure, which causes her to snip at other dogs sometimes. She should go to a farm or big back yard as one dog in the family. She likes to protect those she loves. This is Blondie–(our Vet) named him after his horrible accident. Was run over and we had a hard time catching him. He had a broken collar bone and leg–was cast, but still not able to walk on all fours. He is a special needs guy, but can get around great–non shedding to boot. Loves women—a little shy.

Mindy has waited long enough. She is shiny black and we think a rat terrier mix. We are guessing her at 6 months.

Bear is a character. She is a small to medium gal, and loves people. She likes to be the center of attention, and so she does get jealous of other dogs. She would make a great dog to take in a truck or just hang out with.

Mike is quite the Rat Terrier. He has an attitude to go with his cute face. He loves people, likes to be the only dog, and probably wouldn’t do well with cats or other male dogs. He needs neutered, soon. Cute as a bug!

Bounty should have been named Bouncey, but has settled down that last few months. He is a year old, neutered and needs a home with someone to take him on walks and give him the attention he needs. His coat is so soft.

Last but not the least–is our special girl Sophie. We have had her since she has been 7 weeks old. She was injured before she came here, but has healed and she is beautiful. Please take a second look at those big ears. We think she may have some husky and dobie in her background.

“Plea for Help”

September 8, 2013 / Nola / 4 Comments

We are overwhelmed–under staffed, and we hope to find a solution that will help us get our numbers down. What we are asking is for other rescues, dog lovers and volunteers to assist us in finding homes for some of the dogs that have been here longer than necessary. We have large dogs—dogs of all sizes, shapes, colors and breeds. We have young dogs, older dogs and even feral dogs.

Any ideas would be appreciated! For instance the feral dogs, Tess, Trixie and Taxi, are not getting any tamer, because we cannot work with them. Andre needs special attention–as does Queen the female wolf/husky.

We have a number of dogs that need to be on farms, and there adoption fee will be waived. All we want are stable, loving homes for them–long term. Not for one month or one year–but for the rest of their lives.

So if you have any ideas, know of anyone that needs or wants a dog–please don’t hesitate to call 12 Hills Dog Rescue. We have helped other rescues in the past and hope there are rescues out there that have the space to help us out.

Thanks for reading our “Plea for Help” Photos are of Sam and Boss–just 2 of the doggies that are offered to a good forever family at a no cost adoption fee.

Shoes that Feel Good

August 11, 2013 / Nola / Leave a comment

Shoes??? Why am I talking about shoes? I had another one of my light bulb moments—and it all started with shoes.

My daughter-in-law, Deanna was walking to our shed, and I remarked about her new shoes. She said, “These aren’t new, but I love wearing them. So comfortable—and I can wear them all day.” “They just feel good on my feet.”

Now, I am not trying to compare doggies with shoes, so don’t get started. But, think about it. The dog or pet of any kind should fit you. Your life style, your family, your home, etc. And. . . . sometimes shoes need to be worn for awhile to make them feel comfortable on your feet. So, in a way, I am comparing dogs to shoes.

Before you bring a dog into your family, you need to go over some basic facts.

Do I have time for a new member of the family?
Is my life style busy, quiet?
Am I patient enough for a work in progress dog, or do I need one that has no issues. Adult or puppy??

These are just a few of the questions that should come up before you adopt, or bring in a dog, into your family. Rescue dogs are usually a little different. Just as some shoes need to be broken in when new, dogs need time to mold to your family and way of life. They need time to trust you, and sometimes it takes a few weeks, and even a few months. During that time, patience and love should be administered every day.

So, what am I saying??? Ask yourself some questions, before you adopt. Do I have time for a dog in our household? Do I need a dog for comfort, or one that is very active to match my lifestyle? Do I have the patience needed to work with the issues that I might encounter with a rescue dog?

Just like buying a new pair of shoes—they should “Feel Good.”

Here is Linus–He is an example of a dog that needs time and patience. It takes him some time to warm up to you–and he feels safer with teens and adults, especially women. And. . . having another dog in the family makes him feel more comfortable.

BACK IN THE GROOVE

June 30, 2013 / Nola / Leave a comment

Is the term “Back in the Groove” outdated? I suppose there is a new line that I should be using to explain my weekend. Just returned home from Family Church camp. We call it Reunion–as we see old friends and make new ones each year. Had a great time and refreshed my body and my spirit.

Anyway, I guess I am rested–today after the kennel chores I took time to spend time with a number of the dogs. Bathed little Albert–he is recovering from the mange. He looks an Akita, but seems pretty small yet. I am not sure that the name Albert fits him—maybe A.J. would be better. He is about 8 weeks old and is going to be a great looking puppy when he is recovered.

I cleaned the back yard and fixed the outside shed for the puppies. They love the stairs to their loft. We still need to fix the window with a screen, paint the shed, and run electric so they can have a fan. All in time, I guess!

While I was back there–spent some time with April (a lab mix puppy about 4 months old) She is very active, and shows lots of potential. Sally Sue–a female Jack Russell is is 3 months old. She is adorable, with a brown face and cute markings. Judy is growing and filling out as well as Trudy. (Both look like Corgi mixes.) Sophie was very happy to see me and followed me–sitting patiently until I petted her. I wonder why noone has called to meet her? She is a wonderful Rottie/Husky mix and even thought I have her listed as special needs, she gets along well.

When I arrived home I found that Shorty had been neutered–Glady’s spayed–Both Andre and Kayne neutered also. Sometime it seems like our trips to the Vet takes up much of our days. Getting back to Shorty–he is a Chiweenie! I am not sure how you spell it, but a chihuahua and dachshund. He is quite the character. Both him and Oscar (a poodle/chihuahua) like to argue over who can get closer to me.

I could go on and on about the day spent with the dogs, but my bed is calling for me. I hope that those out there that read my blog will take time to look on petfinder.com for more information about the dogs. This picture is Judy–she is a little bigger now.

Judy Says Hi Everyone

June 5, 2013 / Nola / Leave a comment

What a cutie! Judy came full of ticks and so sick. All better–and is full of energy. We are unsure of her lineage, but she is going to be a small to medium dog. Judy is still a puppy–around 4 months old.
