Adoption Event a Success!

We had such a great event this last Saturday. The turnout was huge with a line of prospective adopters lining up an hour before. 

We had about 20 dogs here for the event - all types, ages and sizes. We had a fantastic day with 9 adoptions. 

Of course there are still some dogs needing a home so check them out here.

Thank you to all our foster homes, volunteers and support. We could not do it without you!

If you are interested in saving a dogs life - become a foster home for one of our pups in need! Just send me an email and I can tell you how it works!

Dogs ready for new homes!

Here are just a few of the dogs available at our adoption event this coming Saturday. 

This is my current foater dog Raine - she is a Chihuahua mix. She needs to get to know someone for a little while before she is super trusting - but it only took us 1 day and she was my little shadow. She sleeps with us at night and loves to go for walks. One thing she really loves is other dogs - I would love to see her go into a home with a dog that loves to play. She could chase and play all day! 

See the rest of the dogs available for adoption here

Join us this Saturday from 11-3 at the store!!

Adoption Event Saturday!!

We are excited to host another adoption event featuring Salty Dog Rescue this Saturday, February 4th from 11-3. 

Rescue work is near and dear to my heart. There are so many pets that need homes. I dream of a world where pets are spayed and neutered so there are fewer unwanted pets! It is with this in mind that I go with Amy from Salty Dog Rescue tomorrow to pick up dogs from a shelter in Yakima. These dogs would have an uncertain future and most liekly owuld be euthanized due to lack of adoptions in that area and a high influx of dogs coming in to the shelter. This is a hard thing for me - knowing that we are taking some to a new life but leaving others behind for an uncertain future. 

We are always looking for foster homes. Tempoary places that we can place these dogs in until they have a forever home. It is only with foster homes that we can pull dogs out of a shelter and give them a chance to have a life.

If you are considering a dog, please look to adoption first. If you have friends looking for a dog, please tell them about our event! 

Salty Dog will keep updating their website this week with dogs that are coming to the event. So keep your eye on it! Hope to see you there!!

Acana Line Expansion

Champion Pet Foods makes Orijen and Acana - two of our best selling grain free foods. Produced in Canada and filled with fresh pasture raised meat, wild caught fish and locally sourced fruit, vegetables and herbs. Champion calls their foods Biologically Appropriate for cart and dogs. We call it awesome! It feed beautifully and you can know that your dog is eating a healthy meal. 

Yesterday we just received the newest foods to enter the Acana line. These three new foods follow Champion Pet Foods Biologically Appropriate foundation as well as what they call "Nature's Rules"

1. Divers and fresh ingredients

2. Meat and protein rich

3. Carbohydrate limited

4. Fresh fruits and vegetables

5. Botanicals to cleanse the body 

The three new foods are yummy fresh protein sources with steel cut locally grown oats. Oats are a healthy carbohydrate and lower on the glycemic index than rice, corn and sweet potato. 

Chicken and Burbank Potato - loaded with free-run Cobb chicken, Burbank potatoes and wild-caught flounder.

Lamb and Okanagan Apple - this Limited Ingredient Formula includes ranch raised New Zealand lamb and 10% Red Delicious Apples

Duck and Bartlett Pear - this Limited Ingredient Formula includes 50% duck as a single source of protein and fresh Bartlett Pears from British Colombia's Okanagan Valley. 

We are excited about these foods and even though we feed a raw meat based diet at our home - my pups have been enjoying the Duck and Bartlett Pear food the last couple days. 

The Champion Petfoods website is full of great information on pet nutrition. I find this a really good read if you are at all interested in animal nutrition - Orijen White Paper

Stop in snd check out the new stuff - we have samples for your pup!
