is a picture of your long-legged beagle Donner in his new home in San Diego
with his best friends Haley and Molly. He has adjusted very well, and still
has the sweet, playful disposition that he showed us at your shelter. He especially
enjoys his walks twice a day. We have been speculating what he is mixed with.
After taking him yesterday to the dog park in Balboa park, and watching him
speed around the field like a rocket, we think his dad was a whippet! Thank
you for rescuing him from the shelter. We love him very much. The Kovacs Family

Hi-
We adopted Cherry back in August, and thought you would like an update
and a few new pictures. She has gained a healthy 15 pounds (up from 30
to 45 pounds) and her hair has grown out - she looks a lot different than
the skinny little girl you remember! As you can see from the pictures,
she has taken up gardening as a hobby! Everyone who meets her declares
that she is the happiest dog they have ever met. Thanks again!

How
do new dogs and babies get along?
The baby and the dog should never be left alone together.
However, Bassets are the least likely to be dangerous. There are other breeds
such as the Labrador, the Golden Retriever, and the Collie that are unlikely
to snap at children.
Adopting an older dog that has had experience with children is much better
than adopting a puppy or a young dog without experience.
With puppies, teething is part of growing up - and sometimes they don't
know the strength of their own jaws. Rather than riskng it, go with an older
dog. That way, both parties can have fun & respect without getting into
any trouble!! |
