A BUSY WEEKEND—WHAT WILL THE NEW WEEK BRING?

/ Nola / 2 Comments

When you operate a dog rescue on your farm, you never know what will happen next.  This weekend was very busy for us at 12 Hills Dog Rescue. A busy weekend, but a happy one! We were blessed with 9 adoptions in 2 days.  And one of the 9 was “Old Yeller!”. He is a nice older yellow Lab, that needs a family to love and care for him in his senior years. We believe he found “just the right family!”  A family with 4 beautiful children arrived and were excited to take him home.IMG_1732 (1024x682)

Then we had Lacie–a collie mix that found a new home with a retired couple. Her new parents go to a warmer climate each fall, so we think Lacie will have some exciting adventures ahead of her. IMG_1739 (1024x682)

Then Freida, a shepherd mix and her 5 puppies all went to new homes.  There new families were surprised on how much they had grown since their last visit. Had to show everyone how happy Hamlet’s new sister is, to take him home.

Last, but certainly not least was our little gem, Ruby!

So, what does this week bring? The rest of Shine’s puppies will be heading to their new homes.  They have been so much fun to watch as they grew and developed their special personalities.

Besides adopting out the puppies, we will have our hands full with a new yellow male lab that came in.  Poor thing has a terrible ear infection, and received treatment immediately.

Samson is back on his feet, and eating again, and we hope to post pictures when he gains some weight.  We are watching Fancy closely now, as she is close to delivery.  I wonder what her puppies will be like?

Yes, I wonder, I wonder what this week will bring to us at the rescue?

Update from 12 Hills Dog Rescue—-Everything is on Hold!!!

Well, here we go–our first crisis involving funds for our rescue.  With the crops frying in the field and no rain, we cannot afford to spay and neuter any dogs for awhile.  We did 9 last month, and it pretty much drained the 12 Hills Dog Rescue account.  We will need to save our monies for food for the ones we still have.

So things are tight here, and we hope new families will adopt the doggies as they are.  We have so many sweet dogs that are very social.  This week we rescued 3 puppies that look like they are 3 months of age.  They were dumped, full of ticks and starving.  We are still trying to catch the last one, and the extreme hot weather makes it worse.  This is a picture of the little Apple heads that we took in last week. They are adorable and their hair is growing back.  They still need another week or 2, and then ready for their new families.Image,

WHAT? A TALKING DOG?

Buddy came to us from a local animal control and there the story begins.  First of all, when he arrived, we noticed he looked very similar in age and breed to another sweet boy “Benny”.  Buddy began his days at 12 Hills Dog Rescue in a kennel surrendered by kennels and other dogs.  After a few weeks, he was out and about on the farm, and we discovered what a talker he actually was.  He only talked to Brenda, but they seemed to have some interesting conversations. I was just a bit envious until I found that he will talk to me, also.  How often do you find a dog that converses with you?  That just shows what an awesome personality Buddy has.  Maybe he will talk to you if you give him the opportunity.

Buddy is ready for his new family. He has been neutered and received all of his vaccinations. Call us if you want to meet Buddy.
