Litter of SEVEN

Puppies and then some!!!  This litter of SEVEN arrived about a week ago in apparent good health but, as with many litters, there is often a "runt" who just doesn't have the size or strength to get his/her share of food and water. The little guy in this case is getting special treatment to ensure that he gets enough to eat and drink and the results are beginning to show already.

These pups are too young to vaccinate but when the time comes they will be fully immunized and ready to go home.

Meet Bob

Meet Bob, one of our new guests.  Bob is very friendly but was very dirty with severely matted hair when he arrived.  Thanks to Mariel who took him home and gave him a bath and a haircut he now looks almost human again.  Mariel named him Bob, after Bob Marley.  Apparently Bob Marley and Bob had similar hair styles.

Bob needs to get his bill of health from our Vet but when he does Bob should have no trouble finding a new forever home.

Smitty - our Newest Resident

UPDATE ON SMITTY:

Smitty is coming out of his shell and is now a shelter favorite.  He is very loving with humans.  His eyes are brighter and his appetite is excellent.

Compare this photo to the one below

Another sign of improvement is his feisty attitude towards other dogs that get too close to his living quarters when there is food present.  Again, not with people, only other dogs (and presumably cats too but we have not tested that theory yet).

It is still a long way to full recovery - i.e. a new coat, but his overall demeanor has demonstrated that he is on the mend.  About his leg (or paw) he is now putting weight on it by himself so that may become a self-healing issue. 

Stay-tuned!

Here is a photo of Smitty who came to us February 18, 2015!  He has been treated for worms and is now on medication for his hair loss (mange).  He also has a leg or paw that is not functioning but the Vet wants Smitty to gain more weight first and then he will work on the leg.

Smitty (aka Pelon)

Smitty is very quiet and gentle.  It will take some time but one day he will be well and available for a new home.

Thanks to John and Sharon for rescuing Smitty.  He was found near a golf course, obviously abandoned and covered in grime (probably motor oil) and dehydrated.  Unable to just leave Smitty where he was, John brought him home and Sharon gave him a bath (it took 1 1/2 hours to get the oil off).  The next day we received him at the shelter.

Watch for updates!!

Dogs and Fireworks - a TERRIBLE combination

Here is a story about a beautiful dog and what happened when he was exposed to a neighbor's fireworks.  Please be aware that these terrify our dogs.

Carnaval 2015

Carnaval draws thousands of people every year to see the floats, costumes, beautiful gals, etc.  This year our very own President - Billie - was a part of the show.  See if you can spot her.

Annual Champagne Brunch

What a great turnout for our annual Champagne Brunch fundraiser.  With nearly 300 people in attendance we were packed with great folks eating, drinking and supporting ADLA with their silent auction purchases, raffle tickets, 50/50 tickets and more.

Thanks are in order to the staff at the El Cid Marina - the food was great and the champagne was flowing all during the event.  Service was first class.

The location turned out to be a crowd pleasing favorite with every table having a great view of the ocean and the marina.

This year was perhaps our best brunch ever and thanks to our supporters in attendance we will be able to survive those long dry summer months.  A big Thank you to everyone of you that attended.

Let's also give a huge note of appreciation to the committee of volunteers that gave generously of their time and talent to make this event the success that it was.  It is a dangerous thing to start listing names and then omitting someone, but those that volunteered know who you are and how much we appreciated your efforts.

All in all a super event! 

Adoptions!

My goodness, it has been a busy few days at our shelter.  Many dogs have been adopted and are settling in nicely in their new forever homes.  We wish you all much love in your new homes!!!
