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.

First full day with Miller and Lilibet. We still have fosters Calvin and Hobbes and of course our permanent residents Snoopy and Bonnie.

Update from Miso (now Perry) who is doing well in Twin Peaks, San Francisco.

Here are pictures with our other foster dog we met today. She is probably a Corgie mix and an even older senior than Miller. She is also obviously much lower maintenance when it comes to grooming. After some sniffing with the others, she managed to snuggle in the dog bed with Snoopy.

I’ll probably call her “Lilly” for brevity. These are the pictures from her adoption profile.

Here she is greeting Lil Man at the shelter:

Now known as “Hammock” he seems to be well taken care of. I miss him!
