Meet Denali

So... I wanted to foster dogs. Or adopt a third one. I went through a local rescue and we both really loved this little guy. Well, huge guy. He's 60 pounds. Anyway, he is five years old and his owner abandoned him. We had him over last Wednesday night for two hours. Our other dogs got along with him and this pup was quiet. He barely barked. He was calm but still cute and friendly.

After our two hour puppy play date was over, we knew we had to keep him. He fit right in, we had the space, and we do have the time. Now, we are crazy dog people with more furry animals than people living in our home.

Though not all good deeds go unpunished -- this sweet guy ESCAPED from our fence over the weekend and some douche on a moped hit him. He is fine but his ear is a little bruised. It could have been much worse but I feel so bad. He's just confused about his new home. Don't worry, we repaired the fence... I hope he gets better soon!

He is so cute! That sounds like what happened with our dog Daisy. We took her out for doggie day out and knew we couldn't leave without adopting her, so now she's our baby. Glad to hear the moped incident was minor, that's scary!

Marie said...

What a cutie! Glad he's OK! I love that he's a rescue...more people should do it that way!! As soon as we have a house with a back yard, that's where we'll be going :o)

Sara said...

He is seriously adorable! I am glad he is ok and that the fence is now fixed so it won't happen again.

Hannah said...

Oh goodness! I'm so glad he is just a bit scratched up but doing well. Maybe he'll realize that you're there to love him and he won't try to become an escape artist again!
