Riverside Humane Society Raises Over 46K

October 12, 2009 By Leave a Comment

Wow!  $46,000 raised at the Riverside (CA) Humane Society Pet Adoption Center’s 12th Annual Comedy Night.  That’s pretty cool and very encouraging to see that there are so many generous people in our community.

The main reason this article caught my attention is because the Riverside Animal Shelter is where we picked up the seven little German Shepherd puppies that we fostered for two months.  We also made several other trips to the shelter as volunteers and fosters for the Cuddly Canines Rescue.

My brother and his wife adopted George: the cute little (he’s ginormous now!) black and tan puppy in the bottom right corner.

Riverside Animal Shelter

It’s wonderful that so many people were able to donate to Riverside Humane Society.  However, I have heard that the Riverside Animal Shelter receives way more animals then they can handle so please if you have the time I’d encourage you to volunteer as a foster with an organization like Cuddly Canines Rescue that saves many puppies and dogs that would otherwise be euthanized.

I must reiterate that it’s great to see so many people give their hard earned money during these difficult economic times.

Here’s the link to the original article: Over $46,000 Raised at Riverside (CA) Humane Society Pet Adoption Center’s 12th Annual Comedy Night.

Have you been volunteering with a rescue organization?  If so, we’d love to hear about it in the comments section below.

Dog Adoption Labrador Retriever Pointer Mix

January 15, 2009 By 7 Comments

Here at Puppy In Training were back advocates of dog adoption.  It’s been a while since I talked about the Cuddly Canines Rescue and as many of you already know I used to volunteer as a foster parent for Cuddly Canines.  I’m sure I’ll volunteer again in the future when I have more free time in my schedule.  Anyhow, I went ahead and visited their site to take a look at the puppies and dogs they have for adoption.  It looks like their website is under maintenance, but they still have all their adoptable dogs posted at petfinder.com.

One litter of dogs caught my attention…the Labrador Retriever Pointer Mix.  It looks like they have four Lab Pointer mixes from the same litter.  The one that caught my attention was a little female puppy named Madison with a heart shaped marking on her left side.  Take a look at the picture:

See the nice heart shaped mark on her side.  It kind of reminds me of the story about the little puppy named Heart-kun.  Another heart shaped marked puppy.

If you’d like to see the other puppies in the Labrador Retriever Pointer mix litter than visit the Cuddly Canines website and check out their list of puppies.  If you’re interested in adoption then check out their Cuddly Application for dog adoptions.

Fun And Excitement At OC Market Place Pet Days

October 13, 2008 By 1 Comment

Did you guys visit Pet Days at the OC Market Place this past weekend? I hope some of you were in attendance. I know my mom, dad, and sister made it out there. I even heard my mother purchased a new cat tower that almost reaches her ceiling.

I also made it to the event, but unfortunately Derby had to stay at home. After much deliberation (in my mind) I decided it might not be a great activity for Derby as there would be lots of strange dogs and people that at 5 months of age could be a little overwhelming for a puppy. Anyways, as our Guide Dogs of America group leader told me Derby doesn’t have to do everything you do.

Pet Days

Anyhow, back to the Pet Days event. It was a little smaller than I expected, but had a nice turn out during the time I was there. There were several cool things going on besides the pet adoptions. The main stage was showcasing puppies and dogs who needed homes. I also was lucky enough to catch the Le PAWS Pet Agency do a little obedience and trick work on the stage.

While dogs seemed to be the main attraction they were not the only pets on display. We ran into booths from dog breed specific, to pet product booths, dog sitting and boarding, Parrot rescues, Guinea Pig rescues, and of course cats and kittens were up for adoption as well.

Another popular attraction were the soccer collies. A couple soccer loving collies were willing to take on anybody who could kick the ball on a giant inflatable arena.

Thanks To All The Rescues

I did have a chance to talk to several of the volunteers at the different rescues and I’d just like to say thanks to everyone working so hard to find these animals a home. As one volunteer mentioned to me “Aren’t these people amazing…how much they love these animals and gather to help them find a good home.”

I agree, they are amazing people and I’m so happy they organize events such is this one.

Here are a few pictures of puppies I saw while visiting the different booths:

This little guy was up for adoption at the Cuddly Canines Rescue and I believe it said that he had a Chow Chow mommy. It sure looks like he didn’t get the Chow Chow fur:

A couple more puppies from the Cuddly Canines Rescue. These little guys had a Shepherd mommy and from the looks of these two and their siblings may have have had two different daddy dogs.

Animal Assistance League of Orange County

Another thanks to the Animal Assistance League or Orange County for coordinating the event. As it says on their website:

The Animal Assistance League of Orange County is a non-profit no kill humane society dedicated to aiding lost and homeless pets, helping people with pet related problems, promoting responsible pet-ownership and pet population control, and preventing cruelty to animals through educational programs.

I always enjoy going to these pet related events and hopefully some of you made it to the Pet Days at the OC Market Place as well. My mother made it to the Pet Days on Sunday and told me: “We’re hoping the OC Market Place has a Pet Day at least once a month. It’s such a good way to promote pet adoptions.”

Did you go to the Pet Days at the OC Market Place last weekend? If so, what did you think?

Labrador Retriever Chow Mix

July 29, 2008 By 3 Comments

I mentioned in yesterdays post that at Sundays Orange County Super Pet Adoption we saw our friends at the Cuddly Canines rescue.  They had quite a few adorable puppies and I was lucky enough to snap a few photos.

The first one I saw was an adorable fluffy looking yellow Labrador Retriever.  The volunteers at Cuddly Canines said he was a Lab Chow Mix.  He was adorable and reminded me a little of my own dog, Linus.  Linus is mostly Australian Shepherd, but he also looks like he may be mixed with a Labrador Retrieve and possibly a Chow (he was fluffy when he was little, has a curled tail, and purple spots on his tongue).

Here’s the information on Ditty:

Dashing Ditty the Lab Chow Mix


This precious little boy was born around May 20th, then abandoned in the shelter without mommy or daddy. He appears to be Lab mixed with a bit of Chow. He is very calm & laid back for a young pup, not at all a whiner or a barker. Ditty would make a nice family pet for those with older kids.

Here’s another picture I took of Ditty on Sunday:

If you’re interested in Ditty you can contact Cuddly Canines at their website at http://www.cuddlycanines.com.  If you’re interested in raising a puppy or fostering please take the time to visit the Cuddly Canine’s website.  They have many puppies and dogs for adoption and are often in need foster families.

I’ve volunteered as a puppy raiser in the past and must say it’s a lot of work, but very rewarding.  I’d highly recommend it if you have the time, patience, and a home that can’t accommodate a dog or a litter of puppies.

Have you fostered a dog or puppy before?  If so, how was your experience?

Puppy Adoption – Fiona The Lhasa Apso Mix

July 21, 2008 By Leave a Comment

It’s been a while since I profiled a puppy from the Cuddly Canines website. As always if you are considering puppy adoption, I highly recommend visiting one of your local puppy/dog rescues. In past articles I’ve talked to you about the puppy/dog rescue, Cuddly Canines. I want to do my best to help place these puppies by profiling each puppy, litter of puppies, and dogs on this blog.

***Note this dog may already be adopted as I will keep this information in my archive. Please check the Cuddly Canines website for the most recent puppies up for adoption.

Fiona The Lhasa Apso Mix

Fiona

Fiona is a 2 year old Lhasa mix who weighs about 18 pounds. She is a sweet gal who needs a home to call her own. She was severely matted, so she had to be shaved down, which is a perfect hairdo for the hot weather we have been having. She gets along great with other dogs, but is a bit too curious about kitty cats, so a feline-free home would be best for her, unless you are willing to work on creating harmony. Fiona is a great gal with a very happy nature.

A friend of mine has a Lhaso Apso/Shih Tzu mixed puppy. I’m not too sure about the temperament of a purebred Lhaso Apso, but her dog is very calm and easy going everywhere except when he’s at home. At home he’s high energy and loves to play.

Are you interested in adopting?

If you are interested in adopting Fiona please visit the Cuddly Canines website. If you happen to adopt Fiona please remember, it’s never too early or too late to start her on her training. If you are interested in puppy adoption or fostering here are a few other articles you might enjoy:

Of course, Fiona is not the only dog being fostered by Cuddly Canines. Please visit their website to see the most current pictures of all their dogs and puppies.

I’d love to hear what you have to say about this article. Is puppy adoption in your future? Do you want to try puppy fostering? If so, please visit the Cuddly Canines website.

Puppy Adoption – Abigail The Australian Shepherd

March 26, 2008 By 1 Comment

I notice I profile quiet a few Australian Shepherds and Aussie mixes on my website. I think I have a soft spot in my heart for the breed because my shelter puppy Linus is an Australian Shepherd mix (even though he looks like a Labrador Retriever with a curly tail).Anyhow, as most of you know I like to profile dogs and puppies from the Cuddly Canines website. Cuddly Canines is the rescue I volunteer as a foster from time to time. Unfortunately, since I’ve been raising Stetson my Guide Dog puppy in training I haven’t been able to volunteer much time to Cuddly Canines. That’s one of the reasons I like to profile their available dogs here on the Puppy In Training website.

I will keep these posts on my blog, so by the time you read this article Abigail may have already been adopted. Please check out the Cuddly Canines

Abigail The Australian Shepherd

Unfortunately, the Cuddly Canines website doesn’t have much information on Abigail yet.

Here’s the short description they have posted:

2 year old, 57 pound beautiful Aussie gal!
