Hi Everyone!
I am happy to say that Duffy was adopted today by Julie Strulson of
Ambler PA.Over the past weeks since he has been with me, Duffy has
shown his "true colors". He is a super active dog, wants lots of attention
and food! I wanted to make sure that Julie came here to see him when
he is comfortable, and that she sees that he needs a lot of attention
for all of his energy.
She brought along her brother, to meet him as well. Duffy took to both
of them, and was happy and literally running around the room in circles
when they were here. I was afraid that this might be a deterrent for
the adoption, but Julie said that her parents rescued Boxer is the same
way, and she is used to that. They went out in the backyard together,
and all he wanted was her! I am sure that he will be better where he
can be the only dog and get all of her attention.
It's been hectic here for me with my 2 litters of pups, and the 3
fosters, and all of my other dogs. I felt bad that such a high energy
dog wasn't able to get the one on one attention he needed, being here
at this time.She agreed to take him to obedience school, and I am going
to help her find a local dog club that has obedience classes.
Duffy was my first foster adoption, and as they left the house, he
didn't even look back! Which, of course, made it easy on me!
Now back to Rocky and Robin, my couch potatoes, and my own dogs, and
tending to my 9 little babies!
Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I think that Duffy now has
lots to be thankful for!

New Rescue, Chicago; now known as Duffy
Hi Everyone!
On Saturday, I went to a shelter in southern NJ and pulled a dog that
they called Chicago. Thought it was not a very nice name, so he is now officially called
"Duffy"
He is a nice boy, but right now, still trying to figure out what is going on. The shelter said he was very stressed there, and I do believe that to be true. He was really scared when I brought him home, but now
that he has been here for more than 24 hours, he is starting to relax and settle in.
He is eating a lot, as I suspect he was always afraid his food would be taken away. He also was afraid when I went to use the pooper scooper to clean up after him. I think this says a lot about what his life was like.
So sad!
I just kept telling him on the ride home, that his life will NEVER be hre
what it was before! I kept telling him, welcome to your new life!
I think he already is starting to know.....
I will post some pictures later today! Here he is in the shelter.

Welcome to the rest of you life, Duffy. Thank you for caring for the little guy. We can’t wait to see his pictures.
Your are a true blessing for Duffy! Hopefully he will continue to decompress in the coming days and we will see him shine!!!
