Mountain Views News Saturday, September 12, We have our own group of seven special dogs who found themselves suddenly surrendered to the shelter when their owner passed away recently. Some of them are carrying a little extra weight, so it appears they were regularly fed and rewarded with treats.
The longer haired dogs were in need of a good grooming session β a couple of them have already received a professional grooming donated by West Coast Grooming Academy in Pasadena, and a couple more will be sent to WCGA when they have adjusted a little more. Let me introduce you to our Magnificent Seven dogs. MAX β At 37 pounds, Max is the largest of the group. Max is a Wheaten terrier mix, about 2 years old. He was dirty and matted when he came to the shelter, and was one of the first to get professional grooming.
He is now quite a handsome dog! Max is a happy boy who is easy to harness and take for a walk. He is responsive to his handler, sits for treats, and loves getting a good belly rub. She is a 4 year old Lhasa Apso mix who was also badly in need of grooming when she arrived at the shelter. She got a professional bath and haircut, and now is showing off her beautiful white coat. Daisy is a friendly girl with a happy disposition. She is easy to harness and walk on leash, and she gets along well with her kennel mate.
Pebbles was shy and withdrawn when she arrived at the shelter, but after a few volunteer visits, she was able to take her first walk last week. That seemed to lift her spirits so much that she is now friendly with people, and loves to engage in chasing toys with her kennel mate.
Pebbles will greet you with a wagging tail and smiling face. Blackie also was shy at first, but she has warmed up with more contact with a variety of people, and was able to go on her first walk last week as well. Blackie surprised us on a very hot day by going into our small wading pool and lying down in the water.
