Dog Days

Dog Days at Mid-Atlantic Border Collie Rescue

25 October 2011

Big Day Saturday!

Saturday was a big day here at the farm.

First up was Yappy Hour.



Then Sheila found a new home. She went to live with MABCR Alum Molly. Sheila is Molly's family's third MABCR adoption! Really excited about this adoption for so many reasons!



Next up was Clint. Clinty had been with me more than a year and found his forever human. or rather she found him. She applied because of him, but never mentioned it, so I was surprised to learn that little fact when she came to meet him. Here they are out for a run his first full day with his new human. Clinty has landed well for sure.


While Clint's human was still here getting to know him, our transport arrived with three new guests:

First out was Zoe, a lovely little girl with just enough 'tude to make a rocking good sports partner. Pulled from Kentucky, someone thought she should have a shorter tail and banded it (yes, you read that right, they used a castrating band to try to dock her tail), so it had to be surgically docked. She needs sponsorship (I am guessing a minimum total of $300, her transport was $25) to pay her vet bills in Kentucky, if you are interested in helping, please email me directly.


Next out was Banjo. Banjo is an adult with a very young mind. He thinks he is a teenager, and has a very young attitude. He is sweet and once neutered will make a great active companion. He was found strayed at a farm in the country. Banjo also needs sponsorship ($50), and of course, an adopter!


And finally, the little man with no name. I have come up with at least 100 girl names, but no boy names that suit. He is all of 8 or 9 pounds and is very sweet and a lovely companion dog. He is a papillion (mix?), I am looking forward to seeing if his hair grows. He has funny little tufts by his ears and is cute as the dickens.


Once we unloaded, the bottle kitten hopped on the transport and went on home to her foster. Once she is weaned she will move onto her forever home who is anxiously awaiting her arrival!


WHEW!! I was ready for bed at about 7.30pm that night. I slept until 6am the next morning...Can't imagine why!!!

Thanks to our expert Transport Driver Denise for helping to get all of our new guests here safe and sound.
