Some movement

Adoptions have been slow. That's a problem all rescues have. Adoptions are always slow relative to the number of incoming dogs. We've got 11 dogs here now, 10 of which are in the house. It breaks down this way:

Our dogs: Maya, Max, Della
Uncertain status: Paisley, Elvis
Large fosters: Kinley, Reyna
Smaller fosters (indoors): Reese, Twizzler 
Smaller fosters (outdoors): Twix (Pixie went to another foster today)
Honored guest: Killian

Turtle got adopted last week; 
KitKat went to another foster home on Sunday;
Pixie went to another foster home today; 
Reese has a meet and greet with a potential adopter on Friday; 
I think there's an application for Twix, but he will take Reese's indoor spot if she gets placed tomorrow; 
Reyna has an application that we are looking at hopefully; and 
Killian's family should be back to reclaim him on Sunday. 

So after a long dry spell and lots of dogs in the house, we are finally looking at moving some dogs out of here. I would like to get enough adopted out that I could get away for a few days.

I have figured out that I can always get Paisley to come back inside with a non-empty food dish.
That has solved a lot of problems managing her.

Reyna has an application that looks pretty good, but with no shepherd experience.
That could still work, she's not a difficult shepherd in spite of being a female.
I may be doing a home visit with her soon.

Elvis has made himself comfortable, but he could do that anywhere.

I'm not sure if Della views Elvis as a friend, a pet, or a mascot,
but she's very tolerant of him and I've even seen her try to play with him.

I’m really surprised that you still have Elvis. He’s seems like such a sweet, great dog! Do you think it’s that he’s deaf?

The biggest reason we still have Elvis is that he hasn't been put up for adoption.
