Arrival Story:
I work at the local humane society. Skylar was turned in there. He tested positive for heartworms and needed to be treated. I fostered him through his treatment. Now he is heartworm free and looking for his forever home. UPDATE: Skylar is no longer looking for a home.

Bio:
When Skylar came in to the shelter he was very skinny and was waiting for someone to hit him. He was a stray that some one found and brought to the shelter. I have been fostering him for a while now. He is doing really good with housebreaking. He is kind of a picky eater which makes it kind of hard to put weight on him. He is gaining weight slowly. He is ok in the house now but he was terrified of it before. He does get along with the other dogs. He is not chasing the cats anymore and he is starting to leave the ferrets alone. All of this stuff is still new to him. He is afraid of car rides and does get car sick. I think he is afraid someone is going to abuse him again. I am fostering him until he gets adopted. He finally knows what toys are and likes to play with them. He really likes the dog park. He runs for ever when he is there and every now and then he comes to make sure you are still there. He seems to be a little afraid of children. Maybe children are the ones that were mean to him. He does better with older children. He would make someone a great dog as long as they have time and patience for him to warm up to them. UPDATE: Skylar has decided he just wants to stay here with us. So we are keeping him. I did the adoption papers and now he is officially a kept pup.

I kept trying and trying to tell my foster mommy that I didn't want to go. She kept telling me that I needed to find a new home so that she could foster someone else. Well, I got my wish. She gave up and decided to just adopt me herself. She did the paperwork today. Now, I officially have a real mommy to call my own. I don't have to worry about new people. I am so happy. Woo Hoo

 

Mommy just doesn't know!

My foster mommy doesn't know what to do. Nobody looks at me. She feels so bad. I do really like it here. I really want to stay here. She stopped taking me to the shelter because I don't like it. I just lay there in a little ball and make people think I am abused and deaf. My foster mommies house is my favorite place. Why would I want to leave? I have doggy friends, kitty friends, and people that love and take care of me. I get my heartguard and frontline the same day every month and I get to sleep in a bed at night. The bottom right corner is mine all mine. I am really happy here. My foster mommy takes me to the dog park and for walks. I am even getting better with my car rides. I do still drool the whole way but not nearly as bad as before. I almost don't drool at all if the other dogs are in the car with me. I have not thrown up in the car for quite a while. I would really like to just stay here. Can anyone persuade my foster mommy to just adopt me, please?

 

My Buddy Wizard Is Gone!

I went on a car ride today. I am really getting better with those. It was Wizard, Nakita, Scrumpy, and Me. We went for a long, long, long ride. We got to this place with all of these weird smells. I even got to see horses. They were interesting. There were some kids there too. The old me would have ran away in terror. But this is the new me, and I am getting better. I just stood there and watched them fawn over Wizard. They really liked her but I wanted her to come back and play with me. She is my friend. I watched her just jump in their car and leave. She didn't even say bye to me. I tried to go with her but they would not let me. I am kind of depressed now. My foster mommy tried taking me to the dog park to cheer me up, but I was not in the mood. It just isn't fun without Wizard. We are suppose to be getting another foster dog in a couple of days. I hope that dog likes me. I have been a little grumpy since Wizard left me. I don't know what to do. I am glad that she found a home but I am secretly hoping she comes back. Oh, well. There is nothing I can do about it. I hope she has a good time at her new house. I will always miss her though.
