There’s only one creature with hands this precious! Hedgehogs! My Burt has the sweetest little hands and I kiss the rveryday’

I’ve been MIA for quite some time now! I swore to myself I’d actually maintain this Tumblr but between moving across the country, opening a new office, and trying to pass all my finals Tumblr got put on the back burner for a while. But I’m back now, and what better way to come back than with a picture of Marble Husky sleeping under the coffee table with his foster brother Connor! These two give me a run for my money!

This is Grimsby. He’s a shelter rescue that my sisters friend adopted. Now I have to take care of him until I drive up to New York to give him to his new Mom!

This is Country and I can tell he’s been through hell. He is terrified of humans and I worry that is will lead to him getting put down. It’s quite clear to me that he’s been abused and that breaks my heart. When I come over to give him treats I sit down on the floor so I don’t intimidate him. This is the closest I had ever been to him, until yesterday. Yesterday I got him to come into the section closer to me and today I got him to take a hot dog right from my hand. He ran right back into the other area as soon as he took it, but we made contact, and that is huge progress. I’m hoping I can keep working with him so that he isn’t afraid of humans by the time I leave for New York for the summer. This challenge isn’t going to be easy, but I have a month to make it happen. Wish me luck. And also, please, adopt Country, he needs to understand that not all humans are evil and that he can have a best friend.

This is Charlie, (said with an Australian accent because I LOVE lost!) he’s a hound mix with the softest floppy ears! Charlie is my second pajama pup and he is such a sweetheart. I took him out last night and it was hard for me to bring him back. He loved playing fetch and running around the yard like a crazy man. He just over a year old and he just wants to be loved! He’s family surrendered him for the shelter because he’s “not good with small children”. My interpretation is, he has a lot of energy and will just run right into you. I didn’t see a mean bone in his body. Marble and him played.. all night long. Someone needs to adopt him! He deserves a family, just like the rest of the shelter dogs.

I went back to the shelter yesterday to pick up my Pajama Pup (and to give lots of treats for the rest of my loves) and I found out that both Bear and Duke have been adopted. I was having a rough day yesterday and finding out that they’ve been taken to good homes really made me feel better.. Bear actually got adopted the same day I brought him back, which is a huge relief because he looked so depressed when I dropped him off.

This is Duke. I would give anything to be able to give him a forever home. From the moment I looked into his beautiful golden eyes I wanted to save him. He is so gentle and loving, and he deserves a great home. I can’t wait until my volunteer application gets processed so I can spend time working with him and training him. Someone, please give Duke the forever home he deserves. I promise he will be loyal to you until the day he dies.

And yes, he’s a Pit bull, I can tell by his heart.
