Jolly Jack

Today we welcomed Jack. Jack is a 7 year-old, 27 lbs., Terrier Mix. Jack seemed up-beat and ready to roll as soon as we got a hold of his leash. We led him upstairs where he took his time getting to know his surroundings and learning that he could relax at The Fort. After he began to relax, Jack showed keen interest in the other dogs. He showed good "dog talk" and got along well with the other pups. With more time here, I think that he would become comfortable and show his playful side.

We hope to see Jack again soon,

Marvelous Mimi

Welcome Mimi! She is a 8.5 lbs., 1 year-old, Terrier Mix. Just like her brother Eddie, Mimi came into the Fort confidently and made her way into our Small Dog Program. Once there, she began to communicate and mingle with the pups as soon as they came in. She showed good dog-talk and got along with the pack throughout her time here. Mimi seemed to enjoy her time spent with us and we look forward to seeing more of Mimi & Eddie.



Have a nice day,
- Zach

Rebel & Keys

Yesterday we welcomed the 2 year-old, 6 lbs., Toy Rat Terrier known as Rebel for her assessment. She came into Fort Fido harmonious and made her way up the stairs into the small roll with the others. She mingled with the pack throughout her time at The Fort.

Today Keys came in for her assessment. Keys is a 2 year-old, 8 lbs., Terrier mix. She came in prepared for a day to analyze her surroundings and become familiar with The Fort. As soon as she become familiar with Fort Fido, she was up and at 'em playing with the pack. We were sadly unable to snag a video of Keys playing, but that didn't stop her. =)



We hope to see both Rebel and Keys soon.

Stay warm,
- Zach

Earnest Eddie

For Fido welcomed Eddie in for his Assessment today. He is a eight year old, eleven pound, Terrier Mix. This dapper fella, strolled along with us to the Little Roll. Once therein, Eddie strutted around the play area in a calm and confident manner. After having him explore the place solo for a bit, it was time for Eddie to begin to meet the pack. Right away, he met with a handful of our members, communicating with them simply and easily. Eddie didn't play too much but he may in time. He did however, seem to enjoy his time spent here at The Fort. Eddie, well done today lad, we shall meet with you again soon.

Be well,

Lucky for us...

 

It was Lucky's day to have his assessment! He is a very original looking, nine month old, ten pound, Dark Brindle, Terrier Mix. Lucky is the new "little brother" of Fort Fido regular, Ruby. Recently rescued, Lucky, is certainly living up to his name... His new forever-home and family can't be beat! These folks are dog owners that truly know how to do right by a canine. Compliments to them.

This morning, Lucky was a bit hesitant about stepping into The Fort at first. Once he reached the Little Roll upstairs, he calmed a bit, and was interested in his new surroundings. Like his "big sister" Ruby, Lucky is good at speaking "Dog", understanding just how to communicate with new canine acquaintances. As many of you know, dogs communicate in a myriad of ways, some being quite subtle... And just like people, some canines "speak to each other" better than others lol. Lucky went from meeting and greeting the other dogs, to fun-filled play with several of them, within an instant! Twas a sight to see. Given all that, it's easy for us to say "Welcome to the pack Lucky Dude, see ya soon!"

Here is Lucky in video from this morning, playing with Barclay and Miguel.

 

Take care,

-Grant
P.S. Have a wonderful Memorial Day! Please note, there is still room available for Overnight Boarding this weekend, reserve your spot as soon as you can.
