Rescue Railroad: 3 New Girls

After a 3 week break, we've finally got some new foster dogs who will be arriving in Northwest foster homes. Late tomorrow night we'll have three new dogs arriving. Let me introduce them:

Sierra has been waiting her turn to head to the Northwest for quite awhile. Because it was much more affordable to have her knee repaired down in Central California she hung out at her temp foster mom's house and did part of her recuperation there. She had grade 4 luxating patella and because she spent the first 18 months of her life not using her leg, the muscles and tendons tightened and atrophied. Now that her knee is fixed she'll continue stretching and doing physical therapy to regain full use of it. She's starting to put weight on it and before long will be using it more often when she walks. Thanks to her temp foster mom for all the work she has done with her and to her new foster mom who will be continuing that work.  In the photo you see her with her temp foster mom Lynn when Sierra was at a surgery consult.  Sierra weighs about 11 pounds and is 18 months old. Follow Sierra on her foster mom's blog at http://wulfgrl-mydogblog.blogspot.com/

Maggie May is a tiny little 5 pound chocolate cutie who loves to snuggle and is about 7 or 8 months old. She was a stray and we can't figure out who would let go of this little sweetie. My guess is she'll be adopted pretty quickly and this time we'll find her a home that appreciates her wonderful personality and doesn't let her out of their sight. You'll be able to get updates on her foster parent's blog at http://myrat-pack.blogspot.com/

And of course, we introduced Kasha yesterday and you'll be getting to know her here on this blog as we work with her and get her ready for her new forever home.
