: Rad Rusty :

Fort Fido good-old-boy, Dempsey, has been the cornerstone of the Big Roll since his first days in 2008. He is one awesome dog, that has shown great prowess and leadership in the pack. His owners are also some of the best, and most loyal, customers. Thank you for your support over the years!

Anywho... Dempsey and the "Devlin Clan" have sworn in another member lol. Meet the radical little dude that is, Rusty! Rusty is a one year old, Chihuahua/Dachshund (maybe Corgi) Mix. Let me be the first to tell you... Rusty is one lucky dog! He couldn't have found a better situation, or better Forever Home. Recently rescued by the Devlins, Rusty was a bit under the weather at first. He was a stray dog for many moons. Then, after a couple of weeks with his new family; consisting of proper nutrition, love, and care, Rusty was feeling great, and was more than ready to take on the fun of The Fort. He met up with the Little Roll crew this morning and fit in with them seamlessly. Rusty thoroughly enjoyed socializing, and, was all about play. He wrestled it up with several different canines, taking quite a liking to Cortez. Rusty reminds us of Cortez a lot, he has a very similar sweet disposition. "Rad Rusty" passed his assessment with flying colors, and please note, the decision to pass him was not based on Dempsey's Legacy. This little fella is more than welcome, due solely to his actions, and on his own accord. Hahaha!

Be well,

Two New Pooches!

On Sunday, we met up with Sara for her assessment. Now unfortunately, her picture just doesn't do her justice... Sara is a super cute, five year old, seventeen pound, Shih Tzu. Our manager, Hope, said she was a, "Chill little lady". She hung out with the pack in a very calm and confident manner. Sara didn't play a whole heck of a lot but may in time. She interacted with the others wisely and seemed to enjoy her stay. We look forward to having this happy dog return, she is welcome anytime!

Early Monday morning we finally assessed Dino! He is a experienced, fourteen year old, seventy pound, black Labrador Retriever Mix. Now we have heard about "The Legend of Dino" for ages! His younger brother, Dempsey, is a Fort Fido original who has been attending daycare regularly for years. Dempsey and Dino's owners weren't too sure how Dino would fare with the pack at The Fort. Because he is an older fella, they thought he might not dig it, which is understandable. Daycare is most often a "young bucks" game. However, we found out rather quickly, that Dino The Dinosaur isn't a dusty fossil after-all hahaha. He took to the Big Roll smoothly, doing just fine with the other canines. Heck, Dino even gave young whippersnappers, like Zipper and Jake, a run for their money. We like Dino's style. We are awfully glad he worked out here and plan on seeing him again. Dempsey can't have all the fun! ;)

Take care,

P.S. This, has become quite the sensation, it is very touching.
