Another Busy Week!


Ten dogs from the hoarding case remain at Dogs For Better Lives at Central Point, Oregon. A breakdown delayed their transport, but that is currently scheduled for this week. A really big forest fire north of DFBL could complicate matters, so we don't want any north winds in southwest Oregon. Seven of the dogs have homes waiting for them on this trip. Two will be going to a trainer in Indiana for finishing before they can be adopted. Leo, in the photo does not have an adopter, so he will be coming to us to foster until we can place him.  When the transporter hits the road it is a 24 hour a day job driving and delivering, so Susan has her phone with her around the clock to help with coordination updates.

Last week we delivered Miska, who is one of Dottie's pups, who stayed with us for six weeks. She really finished out strongly, nailing down her house pet skills. She is making her new family very happy.


We are seeing the new crop of fawns running around in the yard, too! Always a joy to see!
