Little Joe
Perhaps we're crazy... or maybe we're just realistic... who knows?
But last night my husband and I both fell in love... with Little Joe Little Joe and Gabi, who works at the shelter Cute little fella, isn't he? He was found, along with his Mom and 6 sisters in a cave in Turkey. The folks who found them took them to a German-sponsered animal shelter in Antalya, Turkey, which is now taking care of them. In May, the pups will be 7 months old and ready to travel to new homes in Germany. Heres Mom with some of her pups. Supposedly she's a Jack Russell mix. Hubby and I have been tracking online all the major web sites and newspaper sites with ads for animals. It is possible that we could spot Kaya there, either listed as "found" or even "for sale". But after more than three weeks, hope is starting to fade. Our Kaya is either dead or else whoever found/took her has no intention of giving her back. We're still looking.... but meanwhile the place is empty and feels hollow. We'd already started talking about providing foster care for a dog from an animal shelter. With puppy season here, the shelters will soon be overwhelmed and are already begging for folks to take in dogs even if just on a temporary basis. If the dog got along well with the kids and other animals on the farm, then we could end up keeping it, even if Kaya returns. But then we found Little Joe. Last night, Hubby sent an email to the Animal Rescue group. We figured it couldn't hurt to ask and get more info. A reply came back almost immediately by email with more pics and asking if a representative could call us the next day sometime in the early evening. The call came tonight, just as promised. The organization doesn't sell the rescued dogs. Donations are gladly accepted, of course. New owners are screened for suitability, and a contract is signed stating that if for any reason you're unable to take care of the dog, then the dog goes back to the animal rescue group. There is a fee involved of approx 200 euro to cover vet care. All animals come fully immunized with an EU pet pass (an official record of all shots and immunizations, like a passport, required to cross borders) and are microchipped and sterilized (unless too young). So now we're left wondering if we've done the right thing in making contact with the Shelter. They seem very enthusiastic, and are already planning to come and look us and our place over. They have a person in Stuttgart who will be calling us soon to make an appointment. Guess I better get caught up with my housework! |

Awwwwww.....He is a cutie...
If he gets along with any of the other pets, go for it my sister got her new puppy peggy from the kennel she works at.Theres a reason she's named peggy... The pup's mom was sick and needed medication during her pregnancy, and they werer advised there might be birth defenct. Peggy was born without her front right leg. The kennel was going to put her under, but my sister saved her. Its a good thing she did. apperently peggy is the largest pup of the litter, and she is in perfect health. The best part about saving a dog that way is knowign you did something good...every time you look at the dog In any case, good luck with your dog(s) -Eric

Hide the booze, cover the guns up, and for goodness sakes, don't let them see the meth lab.

At 9 weeks old, this puppy was accidentally run over by his owners. They attempted to amputate. Good sense took over and they took him to the VET on 12/1/05. Never heard from them after that.
On 2/3/06 we brought him home with us. He sat in a kennel for too long. His name is Diesel.

Good Idea!
Hi Bipa, I'm going to suggest going with something like the "SONY" electronic dog. The last price I saw was around $1500.00 US, but it might be a bargain in the long run. And the bragging rights are worth a lot. I have a ROOMBA vacuum which is kind of a dual purpose deal but on the brite side it won't hump your leg. Take care, BOBB
