We’ve had her allergy results for a week and boy, Kisa is allergic to a lot of foods. Her list of allergies is so long that we decided to list the foods she is not allergic to as it is a very short list: Salmon Sardines Tuna…
Kiyoshi LOVES belly rubs: this is the fastest way to earn his favor. Chin scratches are also good! He loves receiving compliments and scratches from his neighbors and likes having visitors over to his house because it means more belly rubs! He’s still getting used to being at home while his foster pawrents are at work, but he’s so excited when everyone gets home that he’ll welcome you with a tug of war game with his favorite toy. Kiyoshi is…

She was very reactive towards other dogs when on leash and she had a few squabbles the first week along with some resource guarding of her food and toys. Within a month Tiki made great improvements in getting along with the other dogs in foster care who…

See, I know precisely what I want cause I’ve got 13 years of living under my…

Wolfie’s dad has sent us several updates and photos: Wolfie is a great dog, and I sure hope he’s happy here. I’ve discovered he loves puddles above all else. And the ocean, and waterfalls.
