It’s been a busy 4 weeks since our last blog post!
We have been inundated with applications for Daisy’s puppies and have been busy, sorting through them and checking references on the approved ones. The boys have now been neutered, and we are hopeful that at least three of them will be placed in their forever homes this weekend.
The girls have another couple weeks before they will be spayed, but the foster mom and volunteers who are processing the applications hope to have home visits completed so that they, too, can go to their forever homes right away once their spays have been completed.
CSTR has also had several other dogs enter the program in recent weeks.
Nathan
Nathan is a 2 year old neutered male Shih Tzu who had been living in a garage because his owners were convinced that he was having “accidents” in the house. Based on his foster mom’s evaluation, Nathan doesn’t have housebreaking issues, and she is convinced that it was one of the other dogs in the home who was having the “accidents”.
Nathan is a sweet boy who would prefer to be an “only” dog. He walks well on a leash and would be fine in a home with older children.
Betsy
On 6/27/09, CSTR brought 5 female Shih Tzu into the program from a Missouri puppy mill release. CSTR President Leann Lund made a quick trip from New Lenox to Effingham, IL to pick them up, and then they were taken straight to our vet.
All 5 girls were badly in need of a dental cleanings
Faith
resulting, unfortunately, in some extractions. Poor Cassie also had pyometra and so had surgery shortly after arriving at the vet clinic. She is doing much better now that she has been spayed and is on antibiotics to rid her of the infections.
Rosa and Cassie
These girls are older – all but Cindy (who is 7 years) are 10-11 years of age. But they are happy, very sweet, waggy and friendly. And they’re really hoping that someone will fall in
Cindy
love with them in spite of their ages and give them the loving forever homes that they’ve been waiting all of their lives for.
