Here's what the humans have to say about me:
01-16-09 Wendy is an 11 lb grey & white DOB 09-07-96.
She arrived with her littermate, PeterPan as their human went into an assisted living facility. She arrived with her traveling bag, blanket, pillow, complete vet records, a 3 page owner surrender of her likes, dislikes, habits to help her settle in. She does well when taken out on a schedule or has the use of a doggy door.
A better pic will be posted soon.

Wendy has been placed in foster care with Marti.
Her updates on Wendy's likes & dislikes will let you know if this fur-girl is suitable for your home.
First update from Marti-
"All went very well last night, Jackie knocked on door about 8 and Wendy jumped off loveseat and greeted her, I then sat Pete on floor and he greeted her, she liked both of them. At bedtime I put Pete on his blankie and pillow and Wendy on bed with me. Both went to sleep immediately and then about 3 Wendy stood up and looked down so I sat her next to Pete and we all slept well until morning. Wendy has nailed peddle pad and hope Pete will too. Both are much more calm and Wendy is asleep on loveseat and Pete is on his bed. They both like to be petted and have not eaten much, but I know they will later today. They are very quiet and very good. Will let you know when they pick up on eating, I have a feeling they were both used to people food as treats and filled in with their food. Both very nice dogs."
Late PM update:
"Well both are now eating their dog food. Pete held out until around noon and then he came in and began to eat. Still Wendy held out and stared at me all the way thru lunch and dinner. She then jumped off loveseat and came to my feet, so I bent down to pet her and she turned over and let me give her belly rubs. I then took her out and she now likes the tie out just fine, upon coming back into the house she headed straight to bowl and ate not alot but she ate and they are both now asleep on their blankie and pillow in bedroom. I will take her out at ten or before. I think we have made major steps today.... Great dogs!"
01-20 Wendy and Pete are doing just fine and Wendy is getting friendlier each day.
01-22 Marti & Carol took Pete & Wendy to Linda's Grooming for some touch up work under the nose, tail, paws.
"Pete and Wendy went to Linda's at 8:30 this morning and both were done by 9. Both rode nicely and quietly on my lap and Linda did a really nice job. That mess on Wendy under her eye was a little tender and it was shaved off so Linda said to put alittle salve on it. We brought them straight back here and they were both glad to be home......All is well here and Wendy loves to go out on tie out in this kind of weather."
01-25 Wendy is getting better and better everyday. It just took her alittle while. ....Neither one overeat and seem to dislike their food, and beg for people food....Wendy is very sweet and wants to please.
This fur-kid is in our Senior Fur-ever & Always Program.
Our program is patterned after Love A Golden's Senior Life Program.
If you adopt this fur-kid, your original adoption donation is perpetual.
You may adopt another appropriate senior (10 years & older) fur-kid from us after this fur-kid passes to the Rainbow Bridge, becoming an Angel Dog.
--------------------------------
The adoption fee ranges from $175 to $325.
The fee is based upon veterinary care, age & size of dog.
The higher adoption fee on the younger small dogs helps care for the older dogs that take longer to find fur-ever homes.
Senior citizens and disabled receive a discount.
We also offer a discount to those in uniform keeping us safe.
Land of the free because of the brave.
Our adoption process begins with the e-mail or phone call to us. Please be prepared to furnish your complete name, address, telephone number, your veterinarian contact information & at least two personal references. We will then call you to ask a series of questions.
