London adopted!

London has been adopted by Sandy and Michael. London came into rescue from the OC shelter after testing positive for Parvo. When he came out of the shelter, he was pretty bright-eyed and went steadily downhill that day and the next day. Thanks to the wonderful doctors, especially Dr. Brown, at SMACC, he pulled through. After 2 weeks in the hospital he was ready to go to a forever home as a foster until he was neutered and he would be officially theirs.

There are many people to thank for helping this boy on his way to his forever home...Lisamarie for dropping everything that day when I called her to run to the shelter to pick London up. The shelter could not hold him until the next day due to the nature of the disease and he had to be picked up immediately. SMACC was put on alert and Lisamarie ran to get him. Dr. Brown was new at SMACC and did a wonderful job of caring for him, staying in touch with me on any developments. The vet techs and staff deserve many thanks also as they went the extra mile to take care of London. It was touch and go for several days but when he pulled through, they called to say he was barking back in the isolation room and eating well, and we knew we were on the way to recovery. Thanks also to all the dog walkers who checked on him, even though they could not go in and see him. They were all praying for him. Thank you Elaine and John for completing this home visit. Finally, thanks to the placement team, with Lisamarie, for finding this great home.

London has been renamed Beau...congratulations Beau!

Alvin adopted!

Our little Alvin has chosen his forever home with Ellen and Dan. He is so happy there in his foster, now forever, home and is readily accepting new short term dogs to come stay with him already. Our sweet boy arrived in rescue as a member of the Chipmunk litter back in March this year. He and his sisters came in from a SD shelter. It has been a long road to recovery for this boy. Both of his sisters found their homes and now it's his turn. He said "wait a minute", I'm already home and the paperwork was signed.

So many people to thank for helping these kids on the road to forever homes. First, Sue C. for running to appointments, coming to visit them in the vet's before going to a foster home, and transporting them for a stay at Pat C's for a weeks' vacation. And thanks go out to Lisamarie, David, Pat C, Nancy and Kevin - sorry about having to drive with the windows open - one of the kids had gas that morning, Kim and her sister, also Leslie and finally the staff at Pacific Coast Veterinary Hospital.

Alvin has stolen the hearts of many.
