Meet Trisha
We got an email from the Animal Friends of the Valley shelter that said:
“Hello,
We have a dog-friendly, people-friendly cocker spaniel in our care. Nine-year-old Trisha (#257456) was turned in via our night drop with no information about her back on 6/10. Trisha is 42 pounds, and we have been treating her for ear and eye infections. Trisha also has severe tartar on her back molars. If you are interested in pulling this sweet girl, please let me know right away. Thank you!”
Well, you know what we said!

Laverne and Shirley
We pulled two sweet girls from Moreno Valley shelter a couple of weeks ago. They had the sniffles but we were not worried. We took them to the vet and put them on antibiotic but it just seemed to get worse not better. Back to the vet they went. Our vet was treating five dogs from the same shelter that were all really, really sick.
After several days on IV antibiotics and fluids they finally started to come around. There is a nasty virus out there and we are glad our girls are better. They still need to be spayed but they will be ready for adoption soon. Thank you Carolyn and Dr Card for pulling our girls through this.
Destiny Meet Destiny
Destiny and the girl scout troop of Riverbank, CA came out last Saturday in the hot sun to help us raise money for dogs like Destiny. Yep, Destiny meet Destiny! Both Destiny’s are 6 year old blond girls with wavy curls and a big smile. What are the odds?
Thank you to Destiny and her troop for a job well done!
Meet Traegen
Meet Traegen, a 3 year old cocker boy, we pulled from the Bakersfield shelter this week. He has been severely neglected. Pus is pouring from both ears although he seems to be able to hear. And yet he is the sweetest, kindest little love, whose big brown eyes will melt your heart.
Buffy was in a sad condition at the East Valley shelter and they knew it. She was listed Rescue Only. With that tumor no way was she going to get adopted. She also had cherry eye in both eyes and terrible ears.
We pulled her and sent her off for surgery. She go her eyes fixed and got one of her mammary chains removed. She will have to wait a month to heal up before they can remove the second chain. She will be in recovery for at least two weeks after that before she will be adoptable.
PattiCakes
“Cakes” had been sitting at the Carson shelter for too long with out any interest in her at all. From her picture we could see she had at the very least a bad eye and didn’t look ver
y happy about being in the shelter. We decided that we to pull her and renamed her Patti Cakes.
She had kennel cough when she came in and even after medication she got worse and worse. She ended up at the vets on an IV with antibiotics over night. We just picked her up and she is feeling much perkier. After her recovery we got her spayed and had surgery on her bad eye. Now she is recovered and ready for adoption.

Our Japanese Embassador-Audrey
Audrey got a surprise today. She was on her way to Monterey to a foster home when we got a call from someone who had adopted from us before. It was Stitch’s dad and he said he was interested in Audrey. Since he lives in Santa Barbara and Audrey had a transfer from one transporter to another in Santa Barbara with a 15 min layover we suggested he zip down to the meeting place and meet her. We hear that Audrey and Stitch hit it off immediately and Audrey’s 15 min layover turned into a happy ending! Nice work Audrey!!
Audrey was the sweet girl we got from Japan. Check out her after and before pictures. Wow, what a difference!
Badger and Pebbles
Badger and Pebbles have been battling allergies their entire lives and losing. Their family had spent thousands of dollars and got no where. These two sweet seniors had no where left to turn until their family found us. We specialize in allergies. We have had plenty of practice!
We agreed to take them in as soon as we found a foster home for them so we could start them on a proper diet and find them a vet who understands cocker allergies. The only catch is, they were in Portland OR. We posted for a foster on facebook and heard from Bonnie a fellow rescuer who had an open foster we could use, in Canada! Oh well, what the heck, she offered to drive them up and the foster came well recommended.
We will post updated on their progress. It will take a few months before we will start to see some fur growing back and normal skin but we will get there.
