11.20.15 Snoop was featured on Fox 11’s Pet Project. He is working very hard to find a new home. It was quite a new experience for him and he did great. Keep pawsitive thoughts for him!
11.18.15 Snoop’s family adopted him when he was just a few months old. Unfortunately, due to family circumstances, they can not keep him. He is a six year old Border Collie mix. Snoop is a great dog who wants to please. He knows basic commands sit, down and stay and is very responsive to love and leadership. Aside from just being with his person, car rides and walks are some of Snoop’s favorite activities. Border Collie’s are known for their intelligence and sensitivity and Snoop has both. He is shy with strangers and new dogs. He has lived his entire life with another dog, Duke, but he has not been exposed to a lot of other dogs in his life. At this time, he prefers slow and respectful introductions. We are looking for someone who has experience with dogs and it would be great if they were familiar with the Border Collie breed. He will make a wonderful companion for someone.
11.11.15 We greatly appreciate our Veterans – Human and Canine. The bond between people and dogs can be very strong. Dogs are called man’s best friend for a reason. They have worked side by side with human soldiers throughout history. Sometimes they are forgotten. Today we remember a very special Veteran, his name is Sergeant Stubby. He lived from 1916 or 17 to March 16, 1926 and was a stray wandering the Yale University campus while the 102nd infantry were training. He hung around and Corporal Robert Conroy grew attached to him. When it was time for them to ship out to France, the Corporal apparently snuck Sergeant Stubby on board and the rest is history. He has been called the most decorated war dog of World War I and the only dog to be nominated for rank and then promoted to sergeant through combat. There is no official documentation for this, but it is recognized with the Smithsonian exhibition called, “The Price of Freedom.”
