Now known as “Hammock” he seems to be well taken care of. I miss him!

Late February 2025 Dogs
Wardlaw Four
With the great weather, we took Snoopy, Bonnie, and foster littermates Calvin & Hobbes (still available for adoption) to Wardlaw Park again this evening. I heard some women asking, “How does that dog even see?” when looking at Bonnie with her hair style, not realizing that she has no eyes until I told them. Moments later Bonnie walked through a little bowl of water. Most are really impressed by how she navigates and follows my voice when she’s off-leash.
Cuddle Cub Foster Dogs
HSNB President Linda borrowed foster dogs, Calvin & Hobbes, for some Cuddle Club pet therapy at a senior living facility here in Vallejo. I was so proud when I heard they were perfect ambassadors for the shelter.
Miso Settling in New Home
Mike and Todd sent me these after they returned home with Miso, who will soon be renamed.
Miso getting to know his new feline sister:
Foster Miso is Adopted by Friends
Miso got adopted by my dear friends Mike & Todd today! It’s so great to foster a dog that is so loving and to know he’s going to be in their wonderful household, but even better knowing we’ll get to see him once in a while!
First Grooming of 2025
Snoopy and Bonnie’s “before” pictures:
Bonnie and Snoopy had the first grooming of the year! The first picture is Bonnie before the grooming. I have some clean-up on Bonnie’s ears and Snoopy’s tail to do, but it wasn’t bad for doing it with some time pressure.
Fosters Look Like Triplets
Three triplet (not literally) chihuahua (mix) fosters. Lucky Miso (who looks like a miniature German Shepherd) is going to his new forever home tomorrow! Calvin & Hobbes are the other two who are actually litter mates. We’re still hoping they still get adopted together. Apply at HSNB! They’re all about 1.5 years old, perfectly healthy, neutered, and house-trained.
Five Dogs at Wardlaw Park
Bug(sy) nka Hammock
We dropped off Bug(sy) at Muttville yesterday. It was hard to say goodbye to this little angel, but he’s in amazing hands and will get adopted quickly. Why am I so confident? They turn these dogs around fast there! Also, looking at the other seniors in there, he’s far more ambulatory and relatively young for a dog his size, so he probably has many more happy years of his life.
I know he and I bonded very much, but that also proves to me that he can easily bond with another person after his surgery. I have to keep telling myself that it is not a failure on my part not to take in every stray, but my mission on the board of HSNB is to make sure as many homeless animals as possible are permanently homed. Muttville is amazing and the facilities are incredible while he waits a short while to be adopted. His new name will be Hammock!
