Here we grow again! Meet our newest family members. Pork Chop (Beagle/Bassett mix) and Peanut (Min Pin/Cavalier King Charles mix). They came to us last Tuesday due to their owner having housing issues.
Pork Chop is 13 years young and Peanut is 3 1/2 years young. We do NOT normally take non senior dogs into the sanctuary. We agreed to this time due to housing issues that are not going to change, other extenuating circumstances and because we may have a potential adopter for Peanut already.
They are both very sweet, loving, affectionate girls. They are learning our schedule and adapting well. We will be having them checked out by our vet within the next couple of weeks. Peanut and Pork Chop both need vaccines and Pork Chop has numerous lumps, bumps and growths we want to have looked at.
Update 2022-09-18: Pork Chop and Peanut have been given a clean bill of health by Dr. Watkins and are ready to go to their forever homes.
Pork Chop is sweet and calm and loves attention. Her favorite things are hanging with her peeps, eating, napping and eating. She get’s along well with other dogs and cats, but really prefers to do her own thing.
Peanut is a love bug, always bouncy and happy. There’s no such thing as a stranger to Peanut. Her favorite place to be is on your lap. She loves everyone and everything; cat’s, dogs, probably even cows and lizards. She knows how to sit, shake and speak for treats. She would look good on your couch!
Update 2023-03-30: Pork Chop is doing great and the sanctuary is her home. Her favorite things in life are to eat and sleep. She will sit, shake and speak for any treat we may be inclined to give her. Pork Chop does growl and grumble under her breath at the other dogs at times. She has a very busy social calendar coming up, as she will be visiting senior citizens at multiple facilities bringing fun and joy with her. Pork Chop is excellent on these visits. She loves all the attention!
Update 2023-04-03: We have some BIG news!!!!
Peanut went to her forever home today!!! Within hours she was playing having a ball with her new sister, Tilly. Tilly is 3 years old and was looking for a playmate. Peanut is 4, so they are perfect for each other. They also have a brother named Max. He is 11 and is content to sit on the sidelines and watch the action from a safe distance. Peanut’s new momma, Lori, adores her already! We are so happy for Peanut!!! She is the sweetest dog and deserves her new forever home.
