Greta and the Baby
We just love it when we get wonderful photos like these from adopters. Katie and Mike Knight adopted Greta (formerly Carly) from us in August 2018. Katie became pregnant that November, and was unsure how Greta would be with an infant, as she had some fear aggression behaviors. Now their daughter Eloise is 8 months old and I guess these photos answer that question! Greta is pictured with her big brother Gus Gus and Eloise.
Thank you Katie for keeping in touch and having faith in Greta!
Tank and His (Jar) Toy
Poor Tank. I guess his parents were short on funds and gave him this old jar of generic peanut butter as a toy. (I guess we need to interview our potential adoptors more carefully next time….)
Just kidding of course. Tank has the most best-est home ever with one of our volunteers Jessica. (He actually prefers this empty jar over a fancy, new, clean toy. I know, hard to believe but it’s true)
Waiting List Success!
Erika Stahlman, who was on our wait list for a while, finally found her new companion as a Private Adoption on our website. Another reminder that being on our wait list is a good thing!
Here is the update Erika sent to us:
“Wanted to send a progress report on Remi (now known as Charly). She has made great progress in the last week. She is acting much more comfortable and seems to be relaxing. Meaning considerably less barking at strangers. She and her brother continue to get more comfortable charing space, affection, food, sheep skins and play time. She love her new food and sits very well waiting for me to prepare at each feeding. She walks like an angel on a leash, not pulling, which is a huge improvement from day one.
This morning there was a lovely rainbow arching over us during our walk. And it seemed like a good time to send you an update photo.
We are so happy with Charly as the newest addition to our family!”
Riley Barr
Riley hanging out poolside with her human sister. Thanks to the Barr family (Barr Estates Winery in Paso Robles) for keeping us always updated on their pretty harlequin princess. (Riley says “drink more Barr Estates Dane Head Wine!!)
Daphne and Orion
Daphne and her new brother Orion on a walk moving as a team! Thanks to Cindy for adopting Daphne and sticking it out the first few rough weeks.
How Athena Shelters In Place
Athena’s Mom, Annie, sent us this update on her girl:
I hope you are both well and staying safe. As you likely know, the bay area has had a shelter-in-place for the last 2 weeks and my company has had employees working from home for the last 3 weeks. Needless to say Athena has been over the moon about being able to sleep in and stay home more with her humans more often (we normally have to get up around 4:30am, however Athena now happily sleeps until 9ish…). She, and probably most pets, are the winners in this crazy situation. I thought I would pass along some pictures of my work from home buddy in all her glory and goofiness! Wishing you all the best, Annie
Chloe (formerly Olivia)
Olivia now know as Chloe is loving her life on the ranch. She’s got her mom, Patti, two canine sisters, two cats, and two horses on lots of acreage. What more could a Dane ask for?
Skyla Update
Kendall Smith sent us this nice update on her girl Skyla. Thanks to Kendall for not giving up on Sky that first year.
” I hope this finds you doing well. It’s been 4 years since we adopted Sky and I want to give you an update. The first year we spent time almost daily familiarizing her with as many things as possible. She was afraid of absolutely everything! She has become a much more confident dog. She’ll never be the dog we take to beach or dog park, but we can have our family’s dogs visit for a few days without issue as long as she’s supervised. This may not seem ideal but she’s the Best Dog for us and we love ❤️ her dearly. Jasper, our Lab and the only dog Sky trusted, passed in July. I must admit, she’s a bit more spoiled now. We moved to Reno – she loves the snow! Thank you for allowing us to adopt her and for ALL you do! Here are a few pics…”
