Dogtown

NEWEST UPDATE: All seven of the dogshave been approved for adoption at Dogtown!  We wish them all the best and hope they all find their new forever homes soon!

Dogtown, a National Geographic television show and dog rehabilitation centre has agreed to take seven dogs seized from a terrible hoarding situation in Gull Lake, MB.  The dogs were the seven who were in the worst condition and would be needing several months of rehabilitation.

Here is our latest update from Dogtown on the dogs:

Zoraster (was Oliver) - Is doing really good. He is still uncertain of new people in his run, but is going out for walks with a lot of volunteers and does well. He lives with four other dogs, 2 of which are blind. He has not been too playful yet, but seems to be getting more comfortable every day. He really loves his caregivers and all the attention they give him. Right now they are working on his basic training.

 Hammond - Started showing some undesirable behavior while he was living at one of our more high traffic areas. It is possible that all the people and excitement was too much for him. We moved him to an area that has less activity and that has made a huge difference. We have found that he was acting out because he wanted more one on one attention. He now lives with 3 other dogs and is going out with volunteers. He gets very excited to go for walks and to play fetch. He is also learning his basic training.

The other 5 Emory (was Missy), Catalina (was Annie), Tinder (was Spirit), Winter (was Rose), and Vera (was Viv) - Are all living together and doing really good! Vera has found her voice and barks for attention. Tinder has found a new friend in her neighbor and they get to go out for play dates. Emory continues to be a sweet and social butterfly, who greets all the visitors with a tail wag. Catalina has also started to enjoy attention. Winter loves to be around people, and follow them around her run. She still is not a fan of being touched, but is learning to tolerate it when she has too. They all go out with volunteers and do great with them.

 All 7 are coming out of their shell and developing their own personality, it is such a joy to watch them grow.
