Well, this week is going to break at least one record for me: I've never had more than 15 dogs on my property at once! By Tuesday of this coming week, I will have sixteen dogs here-twelve of them are foster dogs that need new homes! Its raining dogs out there, shelter rescues, puppies, pregnant dog moms going into labor while trying to cross busy streets, owner-surrenders, evictions, forclosures...it really never ends, even in our little mountain town. That is why STOP began and why we ARE going to get a shelter built here. Every day we have to say no because we don't have space, money or sometimes even just a safe place for a stray dog to spend one night. STOP is having its next Adoption Day on Saturday May 10th, 12-3 pm at Canine Creek Dog Wash and Boutique. If you have evr thought about adding another furry friend to your pack, and just in time for the summer fun that kids and their companion animals have, then come on down next Saturday. I know that I have neverhad such a wonderful group of great dogs to choose from. They won't all be there, of course (calm down Susie, really!!) but there should be a wonderful selection of dogs there, from tiny to large and they all deserve to go home with you! Check out the slideshow of dogs coming from Canine Canyon Ranch next Saturday. You can see some of their photos and bios at www.caninecanyonranch.org or check out Petfinder.com. The STOP dogs are all listed under my shelter as well. There were thirteen dogs on the site this morning and more being added after this weekend when I return from a little R&R. Expected arrivals include a male 12 week old yellow lab puppy, a 9 month old female black fuzzball puppy, an older red Queensland, a small male red Queensland mix and a male 1 year old chocolate lab. Most are already fixed with shots. See you then or before if you want the best selection. Leslie at Canine Canyon Ranch
Remember that scared little girl Blue Heeler from the back yard in Golden Hills? She came here about three weeks ago,spent some time in solitary and then I moved her into my outdoor yard with the pack-and miracle of miracles-she became a real dog! The power of the pack is a truly wonderful thing to behold. Just this past week I put her on Petfinder, figuring that she'd be here for months. This past week, she started coming into the house and wanting attention and today.....a family who saw her on Petfindercom, contacted me by email and only saw photos, drove all the way down from Visalia and took her home. She wasn't happy being in a kennel for the trip but this fanily was so gentle, so understanding, so loving...they will give her the time she needs to come out of her shell and become the dog she was meant to be! Thank you Chris in Golden Hills for saving her life! For naming her "God's grace". Thank you Joe for helping me to catch her and bring her here. Thank you everyone who wrote in support of my efforts...I will certainly sleep well tonight! Good night little Laska, good night. You passed through my life and taught me a renewed lesson in patience. Best of luck in your journey in becoming the beloved pet partner in a wonderful family's life. Be happy. Canine Canyon Ranch is participating in Canine Creek's 4th Birthday Bash and here are the furry kids available for adoption. There are more who will be forced to stay home but you can see their stories and photos at www.caninecanyonranch.org. We hope to meet you there ! All of our dogs are fixed with shots, housebroken, use a dog door and are just waiting for that forever home to find them. Dogs who will be vying for your attention and hoping to get adopted on Saturday: Mugen: 6 mo. male Mastiff.lab mix, will be approx. 70-80 pounds when fully grown, cute as can be! Cooper: 5 yr. old border collie/black lab. Went into shelter as a stray pup, sprung from jail at 5! Wonderful only dog, just needs a chance at having a real dog's life. Newton and Missy: twin hairballs, not even two years old. Rescued from a puppy mill and have languished at the shelter until coming here. Slightly reserved but it doesn't take long to come out to play. Cody: young male chi x, about 15 lbs. Was roaming in Alpine with his friend Ranger, already adopted. Cody likes to chase cats but is a lap dog waiting to find the right lap. Cesar: Male Shar Pei/terrier mix with white eyes! Sweet and loving. STOP dog. We hope to see you there! Leslie at Canine Canyon Ranch Meet "Laska", so named by her first rescuer, caring neighbor Chris in Golden Hills. Chris is Ukranian and she named the dog Laska, which means "by God's Grace", a very appropriate name for this little orphan girl. My husband picked up Laska's old "doghouse" form the abandoned house and she spent at least part of the night inside the nose cone, as the blankets were wet. from her We ended up getting mostly rain instead of snow and it wasn't too cold. She simply refuses to go into the other dry doghouses there. She was smart enough to use her teeth to pull the blankets out the door of the large doghouse-because the food bowl was in the back corner!! Smart girl. I did get a look at her teeth this morning and she appears to be quite young, about 6-9 months old. Why anyone would get a possibly purebred puppy and then stick her in a back yard to terrorize is beyond comprehension. She is still terrified of other dogs so it will be some time before she can be moved over to the yard with the regular pack. She will be here for quite some time. If anyone knows any rehabilitation rescues, please feel free to call me or email. I'm really not qualified to work with dogs that are this scared. She is going to take a lot of patient rehabilitation and I need to continue my mutt rescue work with the pack of 10 that are ready for new homes already. Leslie at Canine Canyon Ranch Good morning everyone. On this beautiful spring day, I have a sad little story to tell you. This little girl, a very young Queensland Heeler/Shepherd mix, was rescued yesterday from the yard of a house about to be auctioned off at the corner of Santa Barbara and Santa Maria in Golden Hills. Some very caring neighbors, Chris and Joe, had seen the family who had the dog move out, then another family who stayed in the house was throwing rocks and abusing this poor dog, who was locked in a backyard dog run. When the last family was evicted they simply left the dog in the yard, inside a 6 foot wood fence, no way to escape and no food or water. Someone finally opened the gate and she ran loose around the neighborhood for a few days, always going back to the only home she had ever known: A nose cone from an old windmill, with some torn blankets inside, covered with mud and filth. To get back to this hell, she had to pass the bodies of two dead cats, who had been lying there along the side of the house, baking in the sun for at least 2-3 weeks. This poor little puppy has had virtually no contact with other animals and probably no contact from any kind people in most of her short life but she still lets me pet her and was letting the neighbor Chris come and give her food and water for the past month. Luckily, CHris and Joe managed to get her trapped back in her hellish yard and they called me. I went out the next day and between Joe and I, we managed to get her into a crate in less than ten minutes. Wet cat food does the trick every time! This scared little girl is not at all dog social (an introduction to my most friendly calm dog left her shaking horribly), so she has to stay in my outdoor kennels. She is eating and thanks to the neighbors feeding her, her coat actually looks very good. She's been wormed and I plan to pick up her "doghouse" and her blankets todya so she can have something familiar. She spent last night curled up outside on the cold dirt and wouldn't go into any of the four doghouses filled with clean dry blankets avaialble to her. She is very scared of men, so I can guess who was throwing the rocks. Canine Canyon Ranch is overly full with fourteen dogs (even after 5 were adopted last weekend at the Tehachapi Pet Lodge adoption day), so if there are any kind souls (females to start with!!) out there that would be willing to provide this girl with a safe haven while she recouperates and regains her trust of humans, please call me at 661-823-0111. A foster home with a secure yard and people to get her used to kind humans and maybe one other dog would be ideal. She just needs time but I do believe she will come around. I can provide food and vaccines. We will be at Canine Creek's Birthday Bash/Grand Opening Party from 10-6 on Saturday, April 5th-come and see all of the wonderful dogs available for adoption and see their stories at www.caninecanyonranch.org. There are other area rescues participating also Dogmomma |
