Kong is cool as a cucumber


Hi friends! Its Kong! I hear tomorrow is a big day. Im told I get to meet some new people and I need to put my best paw forward and make a good impression. How hard can that be for a hound like me?!


I spent my afternoon going for a walk then chasing a ball in the yard, so I’m ready to turn in for the night. See you tomorrow! 🐾 


Heart 6/28/19: Glamour Shots

Heart's foster mom here. I usually let my fosters speak for themselves in these blog posts but I think Heart is too young and naïve to understand just how strikingly handsome he is so I'll just leave these here and let you draw your own conclusions.

 
 
 
Maybe it's his perfect blend of innocence and charm, maybe it's the adorable ear poses and super expressive eyes. Whatever it is he has it don't you think??


Mac's Mandrill: 6/27/19 - Photo Album


Hello Friends! 
Mandy here with something a little different this time. As I prepare for the upcoming adoptathon, I figured I should share some of the photos my foster parents have been taking.  I know my Forever Family is out there and until they find me I'm sure they want to see as much of my photogenic self as possible! 
Enjoy!

Apparently this is called "Escaped Tongue Syndrome" (ETS).
I love toys! Ducks...

...soccer balls...

...And Hedgehogs. I'm not picky!
Sorry, can't boop this snoot!

This is the life! Cooling off in a mud puddle at the ball fields.

Just a hound stretching. Nothing to see here.
It's all about comfort. No doggy bed for this girl!

My foster mom wasn't looking, so I decided to
sneak into my foster brother's crate. I don't
think he appreciated the company.

Stairs? Not a problem!

Feeling cute, Might delete later.


Heart 6/27/19: PLAYTIME!!

I love playtime!!

Cyclone Joey- Employee of the Month






Hello all!  I’ve been told that I have been selected as the “Employee of the Month”!  It’s a significant honor I’m told!  I’m excited to be selected.  I’m sure it is in no small part due to my loving faithfulness and my comic exploits!  My mantra has always been “keep’em laughing...keep’em happy!”  In the next couple of days, I’ll be making an exclusive appearance at Greyhound Central for an adoption event.  I’m very hopeful that I’ll meet my furever family there.  I really want to become YOUR Employee of the Month for every month from now on!  I look forward to meeting you and making you happy!

Kiowa P Maxwell 6/27. Greyt Adventure!


Maxwell is ready for his next Greyt Adventure!  He has mastered his retirement training like a champ and is ready to meet his "happily ever after" family!  

So if you are looking for a handsome, playful, happy dog, who loves being with people as well as other dogs Max is your guy!  He loves joyful praise from his people and will forever be your sidekick just to hear it again!  He will greet you when you get home with a big smile, a wagging tail and sweet kisses!  His sweet antics are sure to make you smile even after a long day!  He would be happy to share your food with you but will respect boundaries if promptly reminded! He responds to positive inputs very well!  He even learned where the back yard is and what it is intended for very quickly!

In short, Maxwell is the epitome of "The Good Dog"!

Girly - Lovin' Life

It's Girly dropping in to say hi again!

Fo'Ma has told me that Saturday is a very special day and I might find my forever family. I wanted to be sure you know what a great addition I would be to your family.

My alternate name could be HAPPY. Im so excited about life! I'm really starting to get this retirement thing and I love it.

I'm excited about walking on a leash and I've gotten so much better at it over the last 2 -3 weeks.

I love my foster family - I would stay with them forever but they keep telling me that somewhere out there, my true forever family is waiting and hoping and praying for me to be there forever happy girl.

I love running up and downstairs and I love exploring!

I love meeting people out on our walks, and I love squirrels (tho' Fo Ma says I should try to love them not so much).

I love eating - I always clean my plate!

I really love toys and I don't even mind if there's no squeakers left in them.

I love life so much that I spend a lot of time on my back with my feet in the air these days. They tell me that's called roaching.

If you're looking for that little spark that will brighten up your life - forever, I'm you're Girly!
Life is good when you have stuffed toys!
I roach both in and out of my crate.
