“Auntie Mei! Thank you for paying for me to be groomed out of your own pocket before taking me to my new foster daddies Shea and Joe! They say I smell like a rose!” – Foster dachshund PeeWee in Vallejo is available at Humane Society of the North Bay. He came in with another dog from a family that could no longer take care of them and the other dog has already been adopted.
PeeWee getting to know the backyard:
It was wonderful to see Perrito (Perry) fka Miso thriving in his new home after Shea and I dropped off three senior fosters at Muttville In San Francisco today, which was bittersweet. The house of fosters is a hell of a lot quieter now. Our former foster Perry, who we had earlier this year, is living it up in Twin Peaks. My camera phone really sucked, but part of it was because Perry was so excited to see us after initially barking to protect his new dominion.
Here is the content on Muttville’s site for these three fosters (Iris, Lilibet and Miller):
Shea and I were so glad to participate in an Afternoon High Tea for the Humane Society of the North Bay at the Vallejo Museum in support of cats and kittens at our shelter, which many know I’m on the board of. We were so busy that I barely had time to take any pictures, so I hope there are a lot more to come. It was sold out and a lot of fun.
Super volunteers Mei and Adrienne came to visit some of our foster dogs who are going to Muttville next week. Iris, Miller and Lilibet will all be going to San Francisco and will find new homes within a week or so based on their incredible adoption rates.
I know, I know. Five fosters from HSNB.org in addition to our two is a LOT, but I promise it’s only for a few days. Three of them are already approved for transfer to Muttville on Tuesday. Iris joined us yesterday so she gets a break from the shelter and she’s getting along very well with the other six dogs in the house for a long weekend.

His name became Hammock when he went to Muttville. A friend of a friend apparently adopted him.
Linda took our foster dog Calvin to HSNB’s Cuddle Club last week and he was wonderful, although a little surprised to be separated from his littermate Hobbes for even an hour or so. I’m glad he was able to bring some joy. Calvin and Hobbes are still available for adoption and are a wonderful bonded pair for anyone interested through HSNB.org.
Fosters Lilibet and Miller will be going to Muttville later this month, but I’m sure glad we got to spend some time with them and gave them a lot of outdoor time when we could since they weren’t getting out as much as possible at the shelter given time constraints and such a need for so many animals to be adopted. I love seeing Miller look and navigate like a real dog without all that matting!
Lilibet can be clumsy and assertive, but she also has a tender side. She is cuddling with both Calvin and Hobbes at different times here and there’s a precious picture of Calvin resting his head on her. Meanwhile, Miller is enjoying his new matt-free body by stretching himself out on the bed and couch.
