Happy Tails!

Macie (formerly May)

Macie (formerly May)

Macie and her sister Maggie were smuggled across the border from Mexico to San Diego to be sold for profit. They were only 6 weeks old and were confiscated by Animal Control. Puppies should never be separated from their mother before 8 weeks – and 12 is even better – this is a time they develop crucial socialization.

They arrived at SCGSR needing treatment for all the things clean puppies don’t get, coccidia, giardia, fleas, worms. These little girls were fighters and soon growing like gangbusters. Macie was recently adopted to a three-time SCGSR adopting family and is living the great life in Southern Oregon, were we know she’ll thrive!

Gracie

Gracie

Gracie
Just a quick note to let you know Gracie is doing well.  She is a joy for all of our family and is (I think) almost fully adjusted to us.
She is much more relaxed and displays less and less anxiety.  Until recently, she was still wary of the back yard.  But seems to be getting over it this week.  Last night we remarked about how much more calm she is around us.  The first few weeks if anyone was walking around the house, Gracie would be up and following them around.   Now, she is content to relax in the evenings even when people are moving around.  I think this was an adjustment of living in a house with 4 people.
We gave her her first wash over the weekend and she was an extremely good sport about it.  She enjoys her walks (1-2 per day) and loves playing chase in the yard.  When she first arrived the game seemed to be as much about working out her anxiety as fun.  Her approach to it now is decidedly lighthearted.
A photo of her favorite pose (which I am sure you will recognize is attached).  We have also learned that she loves to be out in the yard for a while after dark.  She LOVES to chase and eat flying bugs.  Our front porch light and light door seem to attract moths and other flying bugs which Gracie seems to think are dessert.  If you use drop box, I will put in a video of her catching and eating a dragon fly.  1—we were amazed she caught it and 2—stunned that she ate it.
Cassie

Cassie

Cassie is doing great! We all are happy she is a member of our family.

Titan enjoys her company and they have become a very sweet couple.

Most days she gets a couple of walks and has even lost a few pounds.
She is great with company and everyone loves our dogs, especially us.

Maisy

Maisy

Maisy was abandoned on the side of a freeway on-ramp.  She and her sister were tiny puppies, most likely Boxer mixes.  Obviously dumped, covered with fleas and starving, Maisy was taken under SCGSR’s wing.  She soon landed herself an incredible home where she couldn’t be more loved!  Here she is, all grown up!

Kona

Kona

kona01Things are going great with Kona, we love her to pieces!  She seems to love us too!  She  runs from room to room checking on all of us and there is always someone to play ball with.  When we go on our walks, Kona constanly looks back making sure we are all there, it is so cute!  The other morning the two small dogs were laying with me on the sofa so Kona felt left out and climbed right up, i didnt have the heart to tell her shes not a lap dog!  She is no longer petrified of the cats, but LOVES the kitten. She and Charlie are getting along really well(Charlie is still Alfa, but Kona is very Submisssive).

Cooper – formally known as Hutch

hutch02 hutch01 hutch04

 

Hi – remember me – I’m Hutch. But my foster mom adopted me and now she calls me “Cooper”. She tested a bunch of names out on me and I liked Cooper the best cause I come running when she calls me. We went on a road trip to Sandpoint, Idaho. I got to spend a couple nights in a motel and everyone that saw me remarked on how handsome I am. When we got here I went shopping with my mom and I helped her pick out a spa so I had my picture taken in front of it. There’s another picture of me in my San Diego yard. Mom’s trying to get me to chase that funny yellow ball. I’ve never played with toys before, but I’m figuring it out. In another picture I’m just looking up at mom telling her how much I love her.

KALI

Kali is doing amazing!  We love her SO much. She’s nearly perfect!

She just has the BEST personality- is so sweet, trusting, obedient, and pleasing.  Since I work from home, I’m with her most of the day. She cries a little when we leave, but aside from that, hasn’t chewed a thing, rarely barks, pees on command…and is a lover!

Lucy - Adopted summer 2011.

Lucy – Adopted summer 2011.

Just an update on Lucy that we adopted in summer 2011.

Can’t believe how fast the time flies. Lucy is such a great member of our family. Recently our cat Cosmo passed away. Cosmo took almost a year to learn to “tolerate” Lucy in the house. And in the end Lucy and Cosmo got along pretty well.

Since Cosmo’s passing we adopted 3 kittens and they have become very close friends with Lucy. The cats and Lucy nap together and spend time together. She lets the cats share her water bowl.

Gunner!

Gunner!

Gunner and his dad visited us at our adoption event. This puppy turned out so beautiful and nice as can be. His original owners were not familiar with German Shepherds and their energy, and the husband was short tempered with Gunner and the wife was worried he would be hurt. Socalrescue stepped in and then the magic – Shelby found Gunner and gave him a happy home. Gunner now runs miles a day with his dad – and he’s a good boy!
