Small dog adoption event will be on Saturday August 7th at the Chuck & Don's Wayzata-1147 Wayzata Blvd. E-from 10-12.

Adopted Dog Monday!

Jake, the young Pointer mix is at home with his new mom and dad.  It took sensitive Jake several days to warm up to them, but his parents worked hard to win his trust.  The family stopped by our adoption event at Petco on Saturday, to show Jake off and fit him for a sweater.  He has short fur and winter is coming!

Mukwa, our giant black lab went home on Saturday.  His new Husky brother, Yukon, is so happy to have a new playmate.  Mukwa's mom recently lost a mellow senior dog.  While a new dog never replaces one we have lost, they do fill a space in your home and heart.  Mukwa has a nice fenced yard to play in and we are certain there is plenty of love for him in his new household.

Our girl from Red Lake Rosie's, Emma, went home on Saturday, too!   She will have a big fenced yard to play in and two doting parents.  Emma recently started Obedience class at The Canine Coach.  Her new mom and dad are planning to help her finish the course.   Little Emma is only seven months old, so she still has some growing and learning to do.   Her forever home is a great place do to it in.

Buckles, the happy senior CockaPoowho hides his age so well, found a terrific new home.  His plans are for a lot of snuggle time mixed in with car rides and some good walks, too.

We're happy for our four adoptees and wish them well in their new lives.

Lola and Emma -- Ready to go home with you!

I ended up taking lots of photos of two of our adoptable pups (Lola and Emma) at Pet Haven adoption event yesterday .... so, i decided to throw them into a video!

They are both around 8 weeks old, spayed, up-to-date on their shots and ready to go home with you!!!

Check out the Pet Haven website and click on "Dogs available for adoption" to check out Lola and Emma's bio.

Meet Lola and Emma!

Meet Emma and Lola! Both these pups came to Pet Haven from Red Lake Rosie's Rescue ... Bart (who was featured on yesterday's post) also came from Red Lake Rosie's. One of the things we have come to realize is that the Red Lake dogs are truly mutts of mutts. We never know what mix of breed they are. Often your guess is as good as our's :) Many of us took stabs at guessing Bart's breed when he arrived, and his new mom ended up getting a DNA test ... well, no surprise, we were all wrong!! :)

So ... to answer your question of what breed are Emma and Lola. Well, we're told they are shepherd mixes. They probably do have some shepherd in them, but the beautiful thing about these Red Lake dogs is that they are mixed with who knows what ... and it's often a pleasant surprise! One thing is for sure though, they are adorable. And in the words of their foster mom: "they both rate 10 on the scale."

Their foster mom goes on to say, "Emma is a toe biter so we have to watch our feet. Both are fearless and explored the entire back yard in the first five minutes. They can really run fast on those short legs."

Both pups have been spayed and have had their second round of shots so are up for adoption.

And more from foster mom:
"Lola 6 pounds, brown/black female. She chases the cats so don't know if a home with cats is a good idea. Lola loves people, gets along great with my grandson and is friendly with our other dogs. She is extremely playful and feisty. Lola loves to play tug of war and chase small stuffed animals. When she is sleepy she enjoys cuddling.

Emma, 7 pounds, gold female. Emma doesn't like our cats and even bit poor Taz in the face (he is our most docile cat). Emma loves to chase. Whether it be stuffed animals, her sister Lola or us, running around the backyard is a favorite activity. Emma is very playful and friendly. She also gets along great with our other dogs, small children and adults. She loves to be held and cuddled like a baby."
