Yesterday, we welcomed Dunson to the Fort. He is a two-year-old, eighty-pound, Yellow Lab. Dunson enjoyed playing with Abby in our Large Dog Program. He "spoke" good dog and had a great first day. We look forward to seeing Dunson again soon.

This morning we met Yammo and Moose. These adorable, twelve-week-old, thirty-pound, Great Pyrenees pups joined our Medium Dog Program. Yammo and Moose had a good time mingling with the other dogs and exploring their new surroundings. They are both welcome back anytime.

Have a great weekend,

Gigi, Mundy, Cedar Rose, & Tucker

We started Tuesday morning's assessment with three Dachshunds trotting through our door; our hearts melted instantly when we caught site of them. Gigi, Mundy, and Cedar Rose are all very unique, happy dogs that were all rescued by their owner five or more years ago.

Gigi is eight years old and weighs eleven pounds.
We instantly noticed her
very sweet, relaxed
personality and how much
she loves her sister, Cedar Rose. Those two were like peas in a pod.

Mundy is sixteen years

old and weighs thirteen pounds.

This sweet little guy

has the cutest button eyes,

and loves to lick and show

his affection.

And last but not least, let me introduce you to Cedar Rose. Cedar Rose weighs nine pounds and just turned tweleve years old. This confident girl was the one I was talking about earlier, who Gigi adores.

Gigi, Mundy, and Cedar Rose are welcome back to The Fort any time.

Have a good evening,

Today, we got a chance to check out Tucker. Tucker is a 4 month-old schnoodle (that's Schnauzer & Poodle mix), not to be confused with schnitzel (lol). Tucker is a happy little pup whom is just beginning to learn how to play fair and socialize. We found him to be a quick-study. We hope to see Tucker again soon.

Enjoy the rest of your day,

Marvelous Marvel

This is not the dog Marvel

This is the correct Marvel, the 35 lbs., 7 month-old, Golden Retriever, Labrador, & Poodle mix. He began in our Large Dog Program today. Marvel went about sniffing and exploring The Fort, getting to know his surroundings. It took him a few, however he slowly but surely figured out that Fort Fido is a place that he can relax and make friends at. After beginning to relax and fit in, it was time for Marvel to head home to await their next visit. We are looking forward to seeing Marvel return to make more friends.

Have a nice day,

Charlie, Duke, and Scout

Charlie came into the Fort bright and early this morning for his assessment. He is a five-month-old, thirty-six-pound, Golden Retriever. He joined our Medium Dog Program where he quickly made new friends. Charlie played well with the other dogs and is welcome back anytime. Good job today Charlie!

Yesterday, this handsome duo joined the Medium Dog Program here at Fort Fido. First we have Duke, a two-year-old, forty-pound, Boston Terrier. He enjoyed mingling with the other dogs and exploring his new surroundings. Next up is Duke's younger brother Scout. He is a one-year-old, twenty-pound, Boston Terrier. Scout was the more adventurous of the pair, and wanted to play with every dog he met. He really enjoyed playing with Frankie and Zeus. They are both welcome back anytime, and we look forward to seeing them again soon.

Have a great weekend,

Water Wednesday

As Summer's approaching, our temperatures are rising. You know what that means? Water play! Here at Fort Fido, we try to make your dogs stay as fun, entertaining, and relaxing as possible. One of our favorite activities to do in the hotter months is our pool parties. During a typical hot, Washington summer day, we like to put little kiddie pools in the middle of each roll and fill it up just enough for your pups to get their paws wet. Some of them love to dig, stand, or even roll around in the water; it's quite entertaining to watch.

Here's a video that I got of Ryker trying to eat the water out of our hose as we fill the pool up last summer. [Some of the video is in slow motion, check it out!] :D

To keep the "slow motion theme" check out these other cool videos that I thought you might enjoy.

An assortment of dogs "shakin it off" after being wet lol

Anyhow, that's all I have to share tonight. I'm looking forward to our water play and i'm sure your pups are as well. Have a good rest of your evening.
