Maiya, Grace and Emmett learn pull a kick sled and skijor!

Maiya, Grace and Emmett spent the afternoon learning how to pull a kicksled. Maiya and Grace both prefer to pull the kicksled with Emmett. Emmett is quite the working man and really digs into his harness. He is a natural born kick sledder :) Maiya excels in the skijoring department and was extremely happy pulling her heart out and running through the snow! Grace was bouncy and just happy to be out playing in the snow.

We have come to the realization that Maiya is going to have a hard time finding a permanent home in this area. With the breed ban on post and carrying over to some local housing complexes, Maiya’s chance of finding a home in this area is poor. We have reached out to a number of Doberman rescues hoping that one of them will have room for her. Maiya misses having a human of her own and the one on one interaction that goes along with that. Although she receives attention, training and playtime with other dogs here, she is still unsure of herself, her surroundings and she desperately wants a person to call her own.

Grace has been very bouncy and happy. Tiger would have been an appropriate name for her! While she was waiting for the kick sledding to begin, she occupied herself dragging poor Emmett around by his leash. Emmett who has been ever so patient with Grace and Maiya will be happy for some peace and quiet when his Dad returns from Washington State.

Raina Claire (now called Rainey) has found a home with Bea. Bea has been instrumental in reducing the problem of pet overpopulation in this area. She founded Spay/Neuter Now and at 82 years old still drives the Mobile Clinic. Bea and her dog Tory came over this past weekend and spent some time with Rainey. After a few minutes of getting acquainted, Rainey found Bea’s lap to be just the place for her to hang out. If you have never had the chance to meet Bea, check out her Spay/Neuter Now website! She is an inspiration to anyone who is passionate about animals, their well being and the quality of lives they lead. Thank you to Animal Doctors (Dr. Nina Harff) for introducing us and knowing right where Rainey belonged.
