Good news and updates

The dog behind the cat here is Odie.  I had an email from his new home recently just to say that all is going well.  One of the cats is still scared of Odie, but obviously this one isn't and has no reason to be. 



This is Beau.  He went to a new foster home last Sunday and he's already been adopted, by someone who met him at Gainesville last Sunday.  There are people who do that part of the process better than I do and I am happy to let them handle it.  The other really great thing about this adoption is that it opens a spot in this foster home and I'm hoping they will take in Hobby next weekend.   
   
The light colored shepherd is my recent foster, Timber.  He was adopted by other VGSR volunteers.  The other shepherd is their old girl, Jewelle.  Apparently Timber and Jewelle have become fast friends and having the young guy around has given her a spark.  He scales his play down to her level and he has given her some renewed energy.  It's always a little tough bringing in a young dog with an old one in the house, and Timber is both big and rambunctious, but it has been good. 

This is a beautiful picture and it's particularly beautiful because this dog is Anthony.  He is one of the hoarder shepherds who had lived in a shit filled house or pen his whole life with a shit filled owner and her lowlife convict boyfriend.  He's 10 years old, so he may not have too many years left, but they are going to be good ones.

Awww...I met Anthony's adopter and her son last week, and he is going to have a great life with them.
