More of Carlos's December work & Zach wreath!

Carlos added more to his lovely December piece.

 Zach made us a rad light-up wreath, the pic hardly does it justice though.

Thanks guys!

Be well,

Bertie

This morning, the Fort Fido Crew got to meet up with the regal Bertie. He is a handsome, six year old, thirty-two pound, Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. This fancy little fella is one kindly canine. We had him give the Medium Roll a go, and up in there, he did awesome. Although Bertie didn't play a whole heck of a lot, he did manage to stay happy and content during the whole duration of his visit. He enjoyed meeting with the other dogs and sniffing around the place. Every time one of us, or another canine, looked his way, Bertie would wag his tail delightedly. This sweet dog fit in very well with our pack, and based on his size and temperament, we know he could hangout with the Medium or Small Dogs. Bertie, you are most definitely welcome to stay at The Fort anytime, good on ya lad!

Take it easy,

We found Nemo!

 

Meet Nemo, he is a one year old, twenty-three pound, Australian Cattle Dog and Border Collie Mix, that had his assessment at Fort Fido today. Nemo seemed fascinated upon entering The Fort's lobby. He obviously knew that some type of doggy-interaction was in store. We led him to the Medium Roll, where he could explore a bit, before getting introduced to the pack. Nemo began to meet with the other canines in a kindly fashion, excited and curious, yet cautious. After about an hour or so, Nemo really began to bust out! It was a pleasurable sight to see, he play-bowed, ran, jumped, and wagged, with several different pack members. Nemo took quite a liking to Walter, Lucky, and Lucy, among others. We were pleased that Nemo had such a good first day here. Like many of our canines guests, Nemo, is here to sharpen his communication skills, and most importantly, play... Which will hopefully get some of his energy out lol. Nice job Nemo, we'll see ya soon!

Take the time to checkout this outstanding clip, which shows Nemo, getting to know Walter for the first time. It's a classic instance of  "meet & greet", turning into play, almost instantly. That's what it's all about!

Cheers,

All the way from District 12...

 

It's Katniss! LOL.

She is a one year old, about forty pound, Black Labrador Retriever, who had her assessment this morning. Katniss did very well in our Medium Roll Play Area, and she could even do fine in our Big Roll Play Area as well. She is a happy canine, that is all about getting along with others and having fun. The Fort will prove to be a awesome venue for Katniss to enjoy herself, and burn off any extra energy. She is welcome to attend Fort Fido anytime. First-rate job girl!

I'll let the following clips speak for themselves... They feature Katniss, loving it here with Georgie and Petey. Good stuff!

Take care,

_ Xena _

This morning, Fort Fido's team got to meetup with the sweet-tempered Xena. She is a pretty, four year old, forty-five pound, German Shorthaired Pointer. Xena is a very nice dog, that size wise, could handle our Big Dog Play Area, however, due to her slight timidness, we had her give the Medium Roll a go. Over there, Xena was a bit overwhelmed at first, but slowly began to warm up to the other canines. As more dogs entered the play area, she began to wag her stubby-tail happily, with each and every new arrival. Xena's canine communication skills aren't too bad, she's just more of the shy type, that gets to know others slowly. Although she didn't play too much this visit, we wouldn't be surprised is she started to in future visits,  especially after getting even more comfortable here. All in all, Xena is one pleasant dog that is welcome to The Fort anytime. Nice job girl!

Take care,

-Grant

Benny time!

Checkout this fine specimen, Benny. He is a stunning, eleven month old, seventy-five pound, American Labrador Retriever, English Labrador Retriever, and Golden Retriever Mix. This happy and rambunctious fella, was quite pleased to begin his Assessment Day here at Fort Fido. We had Benny try the Big Roll on for size, and it proved to be the perfect fit for him. After exploring for a little while, we introduced Benny to Jackson. The two canines hit it off like no other, playing and running about within seconds of meeting. As time passed and the Big Roll's pack grew, Benny continued to make friends and have a good time here at The Fort. Given time and consistency, here and at home, Benny, can continue to better his canine social skills. Way to go dude, see ya soon!

You can watch Benny having a grand old time in the following clips, with Jackson, and Theo too:
