Klipsun has landed!

Can you say CUTE puppy!!!  Not only cute but super sweet and after having Cayuse, this boy is pretty chill on the puppy scale of energy.  He does have kennel cough and a snotty noise so that may be slowing him down right now.  Klipsun is around 4 months old, weighs 6lbs and he's got some big feet!  Since we have been on puppy potty training schedule with Cayuse we're still in that groove and so far Klipsun has been accident free in the house.  Now we are watching him constantly and taking him out all the time - thus is the life with a puppy. 
 
What's this boy's story you ask?  Sadly the same as most of the other rattie's we've been bringing up from Central CA - overpopulation of dogs and not enough shelter space.  I'm trying really hard to get down to just one foster at a time but, when we found out about 3 puppies that were going to be euthanized 3 foster homes in WA steped up and went into foster overload to rescue these wee ones. So WA has 3 adorable puppies - Klipsun, Vespa and Apple!  Vespa's only way out of the shelter was rescue due to a birth defect so we are glad she's here.  To see more about the two girls check out their foster mom's blog:
 
 
Thank you to all the hard work of our teammate in CA who finds out about our ratties, she goes into the shelter to temperament test them and then pulls and holds them until she can get them up to us on ground transport.  Here in the PNW we are very lucky to have such a collaborative team who will also take on extra fosters despite it being hard adding yet another dog into the home.  I have no doubt these three pups will be adopted quickly into amazing homes so, stay tuned!
 
 
Klipsun getting the lay of the land
 
He has beautiful green eyes

Beautiful markings and a full tail

sitting for a treat!


 


As you can see the other 3 dogs were unimpressed with Klipsun's arrival
