Summary for Spring

Wow, Hemi finally got adopted after 18 months in foster care. A special thanks go out to Katie for fostering him for most of his available time, Maegan for fostering him until he went to his new home and Tina for pulling him from the shelter in November 2006. He was a superb example of the breed and we have to send out a special thanks to Jimmy for seeing the shine on this diamond and offering him a permanent home.

We took in a new dog Kayla, who is possibly a staffy bull/pit bull mix or even just a super small pit bull. She's a diamond too. Excellent temperament in a compact little snuggly body. What a good girl. We are really happy to have her. It will be tough to part for her, she wiggles her way into your heart in a matter of minutes.

We also took in and were unable to house a special dog named Michelin (aka BRODY). He was returned to the SPCA with severe crate aversion. He needs a home that can house him outside in a secure kennel during the day and allow him to be a house pet at night. He's lovely in the house with supervision but will not tolerate the crate. It was very sad for us to return him but we have not given up. We are hoping that gradual desensitization to the crate will work for him and he can return to foster care.
