Adoption Update: Banjo!!

Hi Miss Sarah!

I miss you and I miss the farm, but I really love my Mom and and big sister Gracie.  It isn't easy being the only boy in a house with two women, but I'm so easy going not a whole lot bothers me.

Every day Mom takes us for a long walk in the woods and I love seeing all the deer and squirrels.  Once in awhile we get to see a red fox on our walks.  I thought he was a dog at first and I wanted to play, but mom explained that he is not someone I can play with so I just continue on my way now. That's OK with me because my big sister Gracie is my favorite friend to play with.  We love wrestling and running around in the yard. Sometimes Gracie is grumpy or tired and doesn't want to play with me, but I'm always able to get her in the mood. When we are done we like to cuddle with each other on the floor, especially in Mom's office.

Every couple of months we also get to take roadtrips with Mom to Grandma's house in Connecticut.  I really love riding in the car and Grandma's house is super fun.  There is a big yard there and always lots of people around who want to pet me.  Mom says I'm a love bug and that I think I'm a lapdog.  I just really love being close to my people. Mom doesn't let me in her lap or on the furniture, but I sneak up on Grandpa's lap when she's not looking. Shhhh.....don't tell.

I hear Mom telling people I'm smart as a whip.  I usually learn something the first or second time she teaches it to me.  While I was waiting for Gracie to get her shots at the vet, the vet tech taught me how to dance! I thought that was pretty cool and I heard the vet tell Mom how smart I am.  I just really love learning new things. Mom took both of us to training with Mr. Shawn at Best Buddy Dog Training in Rhode Island.  He's a really cool guy and taught Mom how to be a better pack leader.  My favorite command we learned from Mr. Shawn is "place".  You can see me and Gracie doing "place" on a bench in our pictures.  Mom works with us every day on our training and it's one of my favorite things to do.

Thanks for finding me a good home Miss Sarah!

Love,

Banjo

Banjo and his new girl, Gracie loving life! So, so happy to see this!

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.
