Rescued 5 Dogs--Need Fosters to Rescue 2 More!

Ran out to Baldwin Park shelter twice last week to meet and rescue dogs. All dogs are sweet and in great danger.

We pulled five dogs but need fosters to save the other two.

This is Jessie. She's a real sweetie and has already given me kisses. I promised her I'd get her out of there somehow ... to have her die would just be too awful.

This is Nanook, another sweetheart. If we just had a foster for him, we could save his life.

There are two other dogs in great danger. Again, we can't save them without fosters.

Here are the dogs we saved last week:

TASHA. Very pretty girl. Submissive, sweet.

LION KING. Gorgeous dog. Just a doll.

OLIVE. Pretty, calm little girl. Very good with her new gal pal, Lucy. NEEDS FOSTER.

LUCY. What a little cutie with those big ears. NEEDS FOSTER.LUCY. What a little cutie with those big ears. NEEDS FOSTER.

ROCKY. Lovely older gentleman. NEEDS FOSTER!ROCKY. Lovely older gentleman. NEEDS FOSTER!

PLEASE contact us at Dogs@CrittersRescue.com if you can foster.

Rescue has sure been busy!









Critters in Need has been so busy rescuing dogs. A couple of weeks ago, we took in nine dogs in one day. Nine!

Eight of them were chi's from the Camarillo shelter and one was an owner turn-in to us of her min pin. Delane transported these nine dogs down to us and met us in Long Beach. Then Jane and I had take the dogs to my vet, Garden Grove Dog & Cat Hospital, so they could get the necessary shots.

Can you imagine showing up at my vet with nine little dogs? We had to name them and keep them all straight. Not an easy task, I can tell you! Then we had to get them back in the car and take them over to the kennel we use for boarding.

Some of the chi's have now been adopted or are in foster homes. But several pups still need fosters. Our dogs that need fosters are:

Gunner & Roxy, Marley, Tucker, Gidget, Charlie, Cosmo, Star and Bobby all need foster homes. So please contact us if you can help!

Nike's World

Nike was able to go to her foster home on Friday. When we picked her up, we noticed how bright and alert she looked. She was all cute and wiggly, like a puppy should be!

Thanks to all of you for your caring thoughts and donations--and of course, the vets at Garden Grove Dog & Cat Hospital!

This was what the foster wrote about her on Sunday:

Nike is a total lap puppy --it may be the lab in her. Awfully hard to get stuff done, but even harder to say no to that face.

She's doing better with the puppy pads today. We're more hit than miss, which is good progress. And she even pooped outside today.

Her appetite is great. She's eating all her food, so hopefully we'll get some puppy pudge on her.

She's very even-keeled. When she's outside and other dogs are barking or the neighbors pull in behind the fence and honk their horn, she doesn't react at all.

The kitties are starting to venture out a little bit more.

Marleigh sat on the other side of the kitchen gate and watched Nike for a little while yesterday and then later, last night, George did the same. Izzie's still not sure that venturing farther than peeking around the corner from the living room is safe.

Nike's really great when she sees them, though. She just quietly sits down and wags her tail and waits for them. So I think things are going well!
