Rescue Railroad: Two New Foster Dogs Arriving in Washington NR Foster Homes

It's that time again, folks! We have two new dogs arriving in Western Washington foster homes.  Let's introduce these kiddos:

Xena

First we have Xena. Miss Xena is about 16 pounds and eighteen months old. In December she was adopted from a shelter as part of their discount holiday adoption program. She was given as a gift to a 76 year old woman with mobility issues. While Xena is by no means what we could consider a high energy terrier, she is a puppy terrier nonetheless. Puppies are never a good gift choice, however, they are especially not a good choice for a senior citizen who struggles to get around. So Xena was returned to the shelter. Not her fault at all - she's a great dog! We hear she's house trained, even-tempered and laid back. She's also quite a beauty as well. Xena will be fostered in Gig Harbor, Washington.

Royal

Our second dog is Royal. We have gotten conflicting reports from his records on his age. Some say he is one year and others say he is five. Our vet says he is more in the 3 year old range from what she can guess. Royal is another great dog. He's about 15 pounds and is house trained and great with other dogs. Welcome to Washington, Royal! He'll be fostered in Seattle, Washington. To follow his adventures in foster care check out his foster mom's blog at http://cattierattie.blogspot.com/
