Yvette, I guess this means I need another dog to sponsor. Who should it be? I have a soft spot for the older, bigger ones, and a particular love for collies, labs and pittis. If you don’t have one that fits that description today, I’m sure you will in the near future with the number of dogs that land on your doorstep!

What a bunch of great looking dogs.
Lucky families that adopt them.

You guys are sooooo cool.

I can not believe how much work you do to help all these animals.

I wish all human beings could follow in your footsteps or at least treat their pets with love.

Cheers,

Sue

That is not a dog yard it looks more like correctional facility all it needs is a roll of barbed wire at the top!
It should be quite a challenge to scale that fence, if a dog makes it over they have kind of earned the right to
run free….(except for all the obvious reasons such as safety and health ect ect.)

Have you named your new girl with the matted fur and red eyes? She looks so sad yet so relieved in the picture of
her. I wonder what her story is?

I am not in a postition to adopt another dog as I have 3 of my own but I have told people about Turtle Gardens and
have directed them to your website. I would one day consider fostering a small dog but not just now as I am in school
full time but maybe in another year when I am done and hopefull employed with a great paying job and a regular schedule.
Of course I assume there would be a home vist and a screening and that you need a doggy foster mom.

Good luck with your adoption center I can’t wait to see pictures.

It is sad how people would abandon any animals.
I believe all animals feel a huge loss when this happens.

Once I fostered two cats who hid in my closet for approx. 2 months, once they came out, I did not have the heart to do that to them again so I adopted them and I already had 5 cats and 3 dogs, now I have 12 cats and 3 dogs. Whewwwwww

Once I move I may look into adding a piggy to our family.

Nice of you, Turtle Gardens, to try and help Hearts on Noses.

If he is not a scaredy cat type:

Put something good on the counter then tie with thread to it several empty pop cans. When they pull the goody off the counter it yanks the cans off too and they don’t like that sound much.

Another tip would be to place that plastic runner mat stuff you can buy upside down around the counter edges in your kitchen. You can buy it at Canadian tire by the foot to fit your kitchen dimensions….they usually hate those bumpy tips on their feet pads.

Or…. like me, you can just accept that food left unguarded is obviously left there for them
