Smudge is getting ready to go home

It looks like Smudge will be neutered sometime this week and then he'll be ready for his forever home. He has continued to fill out and to boss around his foster brother, Frodo. His coat is now a rich, shiny black and his cough and ear infection are gone. It is bittersweet for us because he's such a wonderful little dog that we are going to be heartbroken when we have to say goodbye, but we also know that he is going to a wonderful home that is equally in love with him, so he will lead the life of a happy, well loved dog - the life we wish all dogs got to live.

There are already other puppies lined up who need a foster home to get them healthy and adoptable, so it's time to send the healthy little Smudge on to his new home and to take in another dog in need of rescue. Smudge will always hold a special place in our heart though, as the first dog we helped rescue.
