END OF WATCH August, 2021 Photo courtesy of Faith's family This sweet girl’s watch is over far too soon (aren’t they all!). Faith was one of momma Foxy’s litter (aka the “F” litter). Faith was so loved and cared for, but unfortunately, she somehow contracted a fungal infection in her spine. Her family went to the moon and back fighting for options, but Faith was in excruciating pain, every day - with ONLY LOVE in their hearts and many tears, they led her to the rainbow bridge and set her free from her pain. We hope Frimunt, Felix and Ferryn ...

??Pupdate on Garin ?? (Written by Garin's new family) Garin is pretty much the best road trip dog EVER!!! As soon as we get in the car , he just lays down and sleeps until we get wherever we are going, which is awesome since we do quite a bit of road tripping. There is a picture of him in the car when we went to SLC for Christmas, he basically looked like this the whole 8 hour drive. He is already getting so BIG, we are grateful we didn't miss all of the puppy phase. He is very smart ...

“Who saved who” Lila-Piper-Bear (written by Lila's adoptive family) “ Bear” has fit right into our family. It’s like we’ve had her forever. The thing that separates Bear from any other dog is that she is so self entertaining. Sure, she likes someone to play ball with her, but throwing the ball for herself and catching it makes it that much more challenging. She also rolls around in the grass like she’s never seen it before. She’s such a happy dog. * Favorite moments with Mom: Morning walks (alerting me that there is a coyote, bunny or raccoon around). Alerting ...

As you may recall, Fritz entered into the rescue in mid-May after being picked up as a stray. Prepped for his alter surgery, Fritz was found to have a severe UTI that had gone untreated for a very long time. Surgery was halted and Fritz spent approximately 3 weeks in the hospital gaining strength and getting better. On arrival to the PNW, Fritz went straight into his foster home. Fritz fell in love with his foster dad immediately, but he had some manners to learn to become the DIAMOND he is today. From Fritz's adopter ... "Fritz is doing very ...

<3 <3 <3 PUPDATE! <3 <3 <3  Annora! You may remember Annora as the shy regal lady who was rescued from MCAS in November 2016.  She was scared, worried and cautious as she allowed us to lead her out the door.  After a spa treatment and vet check, she went to a WONDERFUL family in Washington as a foster..  and ... they fell in love.  Annora was adopted in a short few weeks and was HOME for CHRISTMAS.  This recent update from her family: "...  In the last month, Annora has really blossomed!  She is more playful, she doesn't hide, ...
