Puppy Reign!

Happy New Year From Chulita!

Amber is my Akita/ Chow mix dog. She is a really sweetheart! Amber was found on the Graves Elementary School grounds in Castroville when she was a puppy. She was homeless and so desperate for love! My family fell in love with her automatically. She has been part of my family for about 6 years. She is our baby. My family and I love her so much!

Opie in Cambria. A happy dog!

Greyhound Friends For Life adopted hounds participating in the Carmel Halloween parade, followed by a trip to Pet Food Express and a yummy lunch at R.G. Burgers with the hounds filling up their patio. A fun time was had by all:)

Ben - New Arrival. What a face.

I LOVE happy endings! Another Dogwood-rescued dog has found a wonderful new home! We thought she was a Bedlington terrier but poodle mix seems to fit now; her new name is Coco Channel. Thanks to all who helped with this rescue!

SASSY - available for adoption! 10 years old, 10 pounds of love and perfection. The easiest dog you will ever add to your family. She will fit right in and enrich your life. Visit Peace of Mind Dog Rescue for more inof.

Maria

Johnson, my 3 &1/2 year old Bull Mastiff…..he is a fantastic dog—a total lover, slightly bratty, incredibly grinny and loves all people and dogs. And so handsome!! He has no idea he weighs 137 lbs. I honestly think he thinks he is a lap dog! I work from home now and I call him my admin…..he must have rifled around in my recycled trash and pulled out an old finance report!! He’s such a helper!

Gina

Chyna was an abused and neglected stray in Salinas before she was flown to Canada to be adopted by me. When she was sent to me, she had been unadoptable and in a kennel for 6 months. She was considered dog aggressive and potentially considered "dangerous". She's come such a long way!! Everyone calls her my velcro since she is always at my side. The picture of her in bed is actually where she sleeps at night, right beside me on her own pillow.

Love, hugs, licks and laughs,
Sandi, Chyna, Riley and Neisha

Taken at Greyhound Planet Event 2009 at PetCo, the hounds worked hard demonstrating what wonderful companions they make after retirement from the track.

Deirdre

We had a lot of children come to Greyhound Planet 2009 to learn about and touch a retired racing greyhound. The hounds were more than happy to help.

Deirdre

This is Kahana at only 7 months old. She has already learned how to ride with us on our bikes for up to 2 miles and loves every minute of it!

Rebecca

I'm gorgeous, energetic, engaged and PLAYFUL!!

Lulu

Grantly likes to help reduce stress levels in the family by helping initiate afternoon naps in the hammack!

It's not all napping for Grantly. This senior dog also loves to get out for a nice walk! Plenty of rest and exercise are his keys to good health.

After the greyhound walk and barbeque, this was one of the few moments where the older dogs were in one place long enough to take a group shot!! There were still 6 more younger hounds running around on the greyhound safe fenced 1+ acre yard, the weather was perfect, a greyt time was had by all:)

New Adoption: Announcing the arrival of Buff, the perfect gentleman from the Salinas Animal Shelter. He was looking for a home and we were looking for one more special someone to round out our little family. We love you Buff!

Woofers and Walkers had 70 people and 80 dogs show up to ride the Roaring Camp train in Felton in June!

This picture was taken in Pacific Grove Sunday 6-28 at our GFFL Greyhound Walk, there were 13 adopted retired racing hounds, the weather was beautiful, the hounds enjoyed the walk and all the admirers they met along the way. We finished up at the East Village Cafe for lunch.

If you see a new greyhound in town, be sure to say hello! Murphy is a retired racing greyhound who recently relocated from Cambridge MA with his human parents Jimmy and Laura Williams. Murphy thinks the climate in Pacific Grove is fantastic, (putting on a doggie coat to go outside and poop in the snow was the worst) and that Asilomar Beach is some sort of doggie heaven on earth!

Join Woofers & Walkers for weekly walks, yappy hour, Doggie Drive-in, Cafe Canine and other fun events with our dogs in Santa Cruz.

Savvy, Sunshine and Marshall enjoy a walk on the PG Rec trail with the purple carpet in full bloom.

Free wheelin' good times had by all! 3 of these dogs have Degenerative Mylopathy, a slow-developing recessive gene condition with onset typically at 9 or 10 yrs (they are all in that age range), leading to paraplegia. One of the dogs has IVDD (a spontaneous disc rupture) and has been paraplegic and in his cart for about 5 years. He does para-agility! They are all happy adjusted pooches who get to do many of the things they used to do because of this wonderful adaptive equipment.

Sparky loves running on Asilomar Beach! ~ Bruce McClane and Sharon Miller

Weimaraners lined up for treats at the Carmel Weimaraner Walk put on by Nor Cal Weimarander Rescue.

30 Weimaraners gathered for a frolicking good time at the Carmel Weimaraner Walk on May 10. For information about future Weimaraner events contact Dana. To adopt a Weimaraner, visit www.norcalweimrescue.org.

Scout is a 7-year old blue heeler/cross that we adopted from Salinas Animal Services in 2003. When I started Annie's Blankets, I wanted to thank the center in some way, so they received our first official bundle. Scout is easily the best dog we've ever had; she hikes all over with us and loves rivers and frisbees with equal devotion. ~Edie Achterman

Rudy is my little prince. I love him with all my heart. He is so patient with the kids. I can't imagine life without him. ~Becca

Sydney is a good will ambassador to all who meet him.

Her back broken in an abuse case, Lola came to me when I was diagnosed with kidney disease. We have been a perfect Rx for each other. She is the love of my life.
