*******SPECIAL NOTICE*******  01/06/2012  - Welcome to the new year.  We are very pleased with our placement numbers from last year.  We successfully placed 89 rescues in great homes, and were able to assist 8 families in being able to keep their pets through some tough circumstances.  Additionally 4 of our placements were dogs with significant medical expenses.  This surpasses our goals for the year of 60 placements and 4 assistances. This year we hope to continue the momentum from last year and are beginning to work with expanding our rescue placement events.  Our first one this year will be a visit to one of our local retirement centers where the guests there can love on these adorable babies. Your donations are what allows us to continue these activities.  In today's economical environment that can be very difficult, but it is even more important.  We are totally donation funded so these continuing efforts needs your assistance. No donation is to small and every penny will be put to the best use possible. No PayPal account is necessary to donate through PayPal.   Simply click the "continue" link at the left under "Don't have a PayPal account?" We are a 501(c)(3) Non-profit Corporation so your donation is tax deductible.

We do our best to keep our placement fees low.  The pricing you will find very depending on the age, health and Vet care involved with the rescue.  We attempt to recover our Vet funds so as to pass them on to the next needy fur-baby.  Our minimum placement fee is $75, the maximum we will charge will be $350, even when the vet bill is in the thousands, we will never ask more than $350.  We are a young organization with a limited donor base and no government funding, we rely on adoption fees to support our mission.  All pets are Spay/Neutered, teeth cleanliness in good shape, current on vaccines, and micro chipped before leaving our care.  Additional donations are greatly appreciated.

-Tiny- Arrived 12/31/2011 Breed: Chihuahua, Chocolate with White Gender:  Male DOB:  04/15/1999 - 12 year Senior Weight:  9 lbs  (01/21/2012) Placement Donation:  $100    Tiny is a very sweet little senior guy who's mother passed. He was her constant bed buddy. Tiny is looking for a home where he can curl up and just love. He had a great time with our hospice visit and went willingly from one person to the next enjoying every minute of it. Other than the white accents on his face and body you would never know that he is 12. He is active and attentive, behaved very well for his bath and toenail trimming. Tiny has been neutered, is current on his vaccinations.  His behavior here shows him to be pretty well kennel and house trained. All he needs now is someone who will love him for the rest of his days, just has he loved his last mother for the rest of hers.   -Tubby Tim- Arrived 12/31/2011 Breed: Chinese Crested Gender:  Male DOB:  03/2006 (5yrs) Weight:  8 lbs Placement Donation:  $250 Tubby is a very sweet tiny little Chinese Crested boy. He is a bit slow to warm up, but once he recognizes a friend he becomes a great cuddler. He came to me from Oregon Humane Society, via Clackamas Co Shelter so has been bounced in the shelter environment. Tubby is a bit fearful on the leash, but I believe that come around as he gains confidence. He loves to be with people and is a fun and curious boy. Tubby has been neutered, is micro chipped, has great teeth and is current on his vaccinations. Tubby went with us to a visit with our local hospice and did great.  He loved getting the attention of the guests and was eager to move from lap to lap.  We have not yet had Tubby around children, so are not sure yet what is reactions will be there.  He has no problems with the other dogs and ignores my cat.   -Checkers- Arrived 12/31/2011 Breed: Chinese Crested Gender:  Male DOB:  08/02/2010 (2yrs) Weight: 10.5 lbs Placement Donation:  $250  Checkers is a shy little guy.  He is a bit worried about new situations, loud noises and people.  Once he understands that all good things come from those loving hands he is a very sweet little boy who loves a cuddle on the couch. Checkers is a fun loving guy, not that he has figured out that this is an ok place and he has nothing to fear from us he his coming out more and more to play.  He is still a little frightened of someone coming at him to pick him up, but is getting past more all the time. His fear comes in the form of avoidance and submission and not agression. Checkers has been neutered, is microchipped, has great teeth and is current on his vaccinations.  An adult home or home with respectful dog savvy children is preferred for this little man.  Checkers is quite shy and will take some time and patience in gaining this little man's trust.   -Danny C- Arrived 12/31/2011 Breed: Chihuahua - black Gender:  Male Age:  Aprox. 1 year Weight:  tiny tiny... 3 lbs Placement Donation:  $350 Danny C is an extremely tiny little guy who is sweet and loving once he gets to know you.  This little guy who needs to take greetings slowly and with someone he trusts.  Once he gets to know you he is full of puppy antics and loves.  His most favorite time of day is couch time where he gets to burry himself in the blankets and pushes into my hands when I am not paying the "proper" amount of attention to him.  Sleeping time is curled up tightly in the fluffiest blanket he can find.  From the paperwork that I received it appears that he has been in two shelters and two rescues before coming here, so he has been bounced quite a lot in his short one year of life, and I believe that he may have been born in a shelter.   He  will remain here until we are able to find him the perfect home.  Danny C has been neutered and is current on his vaccinations.  He is progressing great with kennel and piddle pad training, but there will be more training required. The poodle through the fence is Mister and he was a new comer so we were taking the meeting very slowly.  It took about 15 minutes for them to become best buddies.   -Mister- Arrived 01/14/2012 Breed: Poodle - White Gender:  Male Age:  Aprox. 1 year Weight:  7 lbs  (01/21/2012) Placement Donation:  $350  Single white male.  Looking for love in all the right places.  Enjoys walks on the beach and a cuddle by the fireplace.  Looking for a life time commitment where play time is a priority and snuggle time is just as important.  Would love most a supportive person with a quiet and settled personality. Mister is a love of a boy.  He is a bit on the shy side so needs some socialization work, but once you have his trust he is very much a cuddler.  With his young age he is perfect to begin some basic obedience training.  He did great in his kennel through the night and we have had a great response to the piddle pads so far.  Mister is looking for a loving home without a lot of kayos, adults or older respectful children are preferred as quick movements frighten him.  He will be neutered and current on his vaccinations before he goes home.   -Echo- Arrived 01/14/2012 Breed: Pomeranian Mix (likely Sheltie) - Orange Gender:  Male Age:  Aprox. 2 years Weight:  12 lbs Placement Donation:  $200  Echo arrived, from a Seattle Shelter, just in time for our first snow fall of the year. He and our Dobie, Eva, had a great time with an enthusiastic game of chase. They both had a long nap afterward. Echo is a fun and outgoing boy who would love having a home with lots of room to run and play.  He will chase his tail, and he plays fetch.  I am finding that he has some obedience training. It appears that he is a mix of Pomeranian and some kind of Collie, maybe Sheltie. He would do great with a doggie companion or with older respectful children. Echo needs an adult home who has some obedience training experience and an understanding of how to manage a dominate personality with tendencies of being a resource guarder. Echo has done great with dogs of all sizes and he completely ignores my cat.  He has proven to be very dependable with his house and kennel training and in our quite forest he does great off-leash, coming when called (mostly...)  Echo has his own "den" (kennel) that will come home with him as that is his "safe place" where he will go to "get away from it all..."  He is neutered and current on his vaccinations.   -Chica- Arrived 01/11/2012 Breed: Chihuahua Mix (maybe Italian Greyhound) Gender: Female Age:  12 years (senior) Weight:  9 lbs Placement Donation:  $100 Chica is, likely, a Chihuahua with a bit of Italian Greyhound.  She came to us from a shelter where she was going to be put to sleep because of her age.  We believe, for most of her life, she was in a home and loved but may have lost her owner and then ended up in the system.  She is not a fan of kennels, so we figure that she had not needed to spend a lot of time in one.  She will go in one but prefers to be out with her people and gets to sleep in bed with her foster mom.  She is spending the night in one now without issue.  Chica appears to have been housebroken and is doing great with the piddle pads.  She will ask to go outside, but if I miss it she is using the potty pads. Her most favorite spot is hanging out on the couch seeing all that is going on.  She is doing great with the other dogs, is a more submissive nature that does well with most others. Chica has been spay and is current on her vaccinations.   -Pookie- Arrived 02/05/2012 Breed: Pekinese / Pomeranian Mix Gender: Female Age:  10 years Weight:  12 lbs Placement Donation:  $250 Pookie lost her home when her owner, because of open heart surgery and continued ill health, was unable to care for her any more.  She is a very sweet girl who is adjusting quite quickly to our home.  She seems totally willing to just hang out with people.  We have had no issues with introductions to the other dogs and the cat is sharing the water bowl without complaint.   Pookie's previous owner indicates that she gets quite excited spinning and twirling when new people come to visit, but we have not seen that yet.  Sometimes it just takes time for those personalities to come out.  It is always a fun process to see them show who they really are as they become more comfortable in the environment.  She does appear to be quite well house trained, we have had no accidents.  Pookie has been spay and is current on her vaccinations.
