Welcome Arthur! Arthur is a 3 year-old, 15 lbs., king charles cavalier. He came into Fort Fido ready to investigate the surroundings his sibling Maximus enjoys. Arthur got to meet many pups within our Small Dog Program today and was sociable with them. He more so enjoyed playing with the toys, but still had a great time around the others. We are glad that we were able to meet Arthur today.

Today we welcomed Danny and Zoe, two cute Dachshunds. Danny is a short-haired Dachshund while Zoe is a long-haired Dachshund. These two pups were excited to begin their day with us. They went up the stairs and into our Small Dog Program. Within our Small Dog Program, both Danny & Zoe explored the Small Dog Program to their hearts content. After their expedition of the program, Danny began to romp about as the other dogs entered. Zoe took a slower route, but warmed up and began to have fun too. They both looked like they had a blast here and we are looking forward to seeing Danny & Zoe return for more fun times soon!
Today we welcomed Barney. Barney is a beautiful (and soft) 8 year-old, 23 lbs., Dachshund. I may be partial to Dachshund's because I have one, but that doesn't mean I can bypass Barney's assessment (darn!). We still had to make sure that Barney would be a good fit here at The Fort. Barney seemed like he was ready for a new adventure as soon as he arrived and strolled right into our Small Dog Program. Barney spent his time meeting the others and learning what Fort Fido is all about. I am looking forward to seeing Barney's cute face again.
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.
Today we met the intelligent Omi. Omi is a 9 lbs., 4 month-old, Formosan from Taiwan. This soft and cute gal made her way up and into our Small Dog Program where she began to meet the others as they came in throughout the day.

Like Charlie, Millie also joined us last week. Millie is a 2 year-old, 17 lbs., Scnoodle. Millie strolled right into Fort Fido and worked her way into the small roll.
