These puppies were an owner surrender in May, 2010. They were 8
weeks old at that time, two females and a male. They are Shih Tzu
and Miniature Dachound mix. As designer dogs, they would be called
Dach Tzu. We have had them neutered, wormed and they’ve had their
shots. They are happy, sweet and playful.

Skybald,
a neutered male, Beagle-Whippet-Pit bull mix. He was 1-2 years old.
He was surrendered when owner was put in a Nursing Home, with no
hope of coming out. He was very fearful and had been abused by a
man, then left alone in a pack of dogs for days at a time, with no
human contact. He arrived December, 2009. He was so scared and thin.
He’s now adjusted, no longer as fearful, but is untrusting with men.
He had some ear infection but has cleared up now. He stays with 4
other dogs and gets along well. |
Thunder
arrived in May, 2009, an owner surrender. He was a male and 3 months
old. We were told that he was a Rotti mix. He was abused badly and
very thin, confused, hand and foot shy. He’s neutered, wormed, shots
yearly and we have watched him grow and grow. Now, in 2010 at 1 ½
years old, he weighs 120 lbs. He is a Rotti-NewFoundland mix. He
gets stuck, when he gets in the recliner. He’s very sensitive, a
gentle giant. |

In August, 2004, 5 puppies were
dropped off at the sanctuary, no one knowing where they had came
from, 3 males and 2 females, at 5 weeks old and still had milk
breath. They were very fearful, especially of men and boots. We
assume they had been abused. We have raised them since then, but
they have stayed fearful and wouldn’t socialize with people. They
don’t bite, but due to their being fearful, they prefer to avoid,
run or shut down. They have accepted other dogs and accept my
husband and me. They trust me as I’m the one that handles their
medical issues and training.
