New Foster Jonah!

New foster Jonah from HSNB is available for adoption. This very sweet and adorable wired-hair terrier mix adult has been with us for a few days and is a joy to have around. He plays with our other two fosters, the litter mates Calvin and Hobbes, as well as Snoopy. He’s growing on Bonnie as well, and I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before he wins her over.

Video compilation of Jonah’s first days while we foster him and his interactions with Bonnie and Snoopy and the other two fosters, Calvin and Hobbes.

Lazy Sunday at Rental

Calvin going for a ride around more than once on the top of the garden chair and over my shoulder.

This video starts with foster Calvin and blind Bonnie on the hill and ends up with new foster PeeWee on my lap. He is settling in well as he just needed a break from being crated at the shelter. What a beautiful doxie mix he is! Available for adoption right now at HSNB!

PeeWee Visits for a Spell

“Auntie Mei! Thank you for paying for me to be groomed out of your own pocket before taking me to my new foster daddies Shea and Joe! They say I smell like a rose!” – Foster dachshund PeeWee in Vallejo is available at Humane Society of the North Bay. He came in with another dog from a family that could no longer take care of them and the other dog has already been adopted.

Visiting Perrito in Twin Peaks

It was wonderful to see Perrito (Perry) fka Miso thriving in his new home after Shea and I dropped off three senior fosters at Muttville In San Francisco today, which was bittersweet. The house of fosters is a hell of a lot quieter now. Our former foster Perry, who we had earlier this year, is living it up in Twin Peaks. My camera phone really sucked, but part of it was because Perry was so excited to see us after initially barking to protect his new dominion.

Shelter Volunteers Visit Fosters

Super volunteers Mei and Adrienne came to visit some of our foster dogs who are going to Muttville next week. Iris, Miller and Lilibet will all be going to San Francisco and will find new homes within a week or so based on their incredible adoption rates.

Foster Iris Joins Us Temporarily

I know, I know. Five fosters from HSNB.org in addition to our two is a LOT, but I promise it’s only for a few days. Three of them are already approved for transfer to Muttville on Tuesday. Iris joined us yesterday so she gets a break from the shelter and she’s getting along very well with the other six dogs in the house for a long weekend.

Bugsy got Adopted!

His name became Hammock when he went to Muttville. A friend of a friend adopted him. I guess he goes by Hemi now. I know Sara Wright, who is also a neighbor who commented below. I guess I’m the “mom” who took good care of him while fostering. 🙂

Calvin goes to Cuddle Club Solo

Linda took our foster dog Calvin to HSNB’s Cuddle Club last week and he was wonderful, although a little surprised to be separated from his littermate Hobbes for even an hour or so. I’m glad he was able to bring some joy. Calvin and Hobbes are still available for adoption and are a wonderful bonded pair for anyone interested through HSNB.org.

Two More Senior Fosters to Muttville

Fosters Lilibet and Miller will be going to Muttville later this month, but I’m sure glad we got to spend some time with them and gave them a lot of outdoor time when we could since they weren’t getting out as much as possible at the shelter given time constraints and such a need for so many animals to be adopted. I love seeing Miller look and navigate like a real dog without all that matting!

Lilibet can be clumsy and assertive, but she also has a tender side. She is cuddling with both Calvin and Hobbes at different times here and there’s a precious picture of Calvin resting his head on her. Meanwhile, Miller is enjoying his new matt-free body by stretching himself out on the bed and couch.
