Well if you have looked on the website you will see we have puppies. Lots and lots of puppies. And before you go and say....................... yeahhhhhhhhhhh puppies, you should know they are nothing more then screaming, pooing, peeing, chewing machines. And as of today they are less then 4 weeks old and are no where near ready for adoption. You need to know we will have to assess the pups to see what kind of homes THEY need, not what kinds of homes YOU want to give them. I had only put 1 picture on the website and already I have people applying. That's good but you have to know just because you apply does not mean you will get one. They will go according to their needs.

We also have their mother for adoption. And she is a lovely lovely girl. Lexi is pretty much a baby herself. At only a yr old she found herself pregnant and homeless. She certainly does not want to be tied down to these pups. What Lexi wants and should have is time to play and run and swim and just be a dog. But she is sticking by the pups much longer then we had thought she would. And everyday that she gives them is a good day.



Rufus the goofus is going to meet a family tomorrow. Chanone and I are beyond thrilled for this boy. He deserves a place to grow old and a family that will love him. so keep your fingers crossed for him. If all goes well, he is going to stay on a foster to adopt contract for alittle while.



There is a young male rottie in the Lytton area that was found lost or abandoned on a dirt road 18 miles from town. The wonderful people that he found were understandably nervous to find a rottweiler in their yard. If your not familiar with the breed, they can be reason to take a deep breath. And that is just what the woman that called me about him did. LOL

And because she took that chance she got to see how sweet a rottie can be. He went right to her, leaned in like they love to do and gave her a chance to touch her first Rottweiler. I will be forever grateful to this woman. She put aside everything that she thought she knew about this breed and took a chance. And because she did, this dog is safe. We are trying to find his owners, but if they don't show up he can come into our care.

Jake has done amazingly well. All the things that he did that drove others to distraction are things that Leasa and Brandon can work on. He plays hard and is having the time of his life with his girl. The two of them have similar play styles and are a good match. Because of this I have said, enough fostering, we will make the adoption final. So Jake has left our care and we wish him luck and love with the new family.

I really don't know what to say about Clyde. Today I got home and he was funny and goofey. This morning he was growly and cranky and threw up all his breakfast. He is happy some time. He is spending lots of time sleeping or resting away from us. The only thing he really is interested in is food. But he is becoming harder to handle on walks. If he sees another dog now, he becomes almost crazed and I worry about what could happen. His frustration at not getting to the other animals is getting worse. Is this his way of showing pain? Or are the meds too strong and he is anxious? We will have to make hard decisions soon.

These are very busy days in rescue but for some reason I have a lighter load then ever before. Lexi and her pups are with a new foster family, Rufus has been hanging out at Canine Harmony http://www.canineharmony.com/ and the new boy is safe where he is for now. Molly at Saints may have a family of her own. All is good at West Coast Rottweiler Rescue

Incoming and outgoing

I think today WCRR has more dogs available for adoption or at least in care then we have ever had before.

Clyde is still hanging in there, driving me crazy, being a bonehead. He had a wonderful time at the lake. We gave him his own blanket so he wasn't on the snow and a big bully stick that lasted him all of 1/2 hr. He is a rottweiler and he does love to chew.

The last couple of nights he has been very restless. He is either licking his legs or licking air. And he is getting more and more grumpy sometimes. But, what will be will be. I do love the old bugger.

And we have had Jake come back to us. He was the young male that was found in Lytton last summer. I thought we had a great home for him but they were not able to keep up with his energy level. He was returned just before Xmas. But................ a dear friend contacted me about him and he has gone to live with a young couple on the island. He has a sweet pittie mix girl to play with. He is getting lots of attention, and will be getting the kind of training and leadership he needs to be a good dog. We will give Jake a month to settle in before we finalize the adoption just to be on the safe side.

And then there is Rufus the Goofus. He is a 5 yr old stray found in Abbotsford. We picked him up and Canine Harmony is boarding him until I can find the perfect foster home. I think we have one and we will be meeting on the weekend. Rufus is going to learn to live inside.
When I met Rufus he was standoffish and completely uninterested in people. That has totally changed and Rufus is wanting to be with you all the time. He does not have a mean bone in his body when it comes to people but he may not be suited for little dogs or cats. Or small children for that matter, only because he is a big boy that doesn't know his own strength.

Molly is staying with S.A.I.N.T.S. for now. She was signed over to Saints when her owner ended up in the hospital. We do know a few things about Molly. One is she LOVES people and will need a calm home because she gets over excited easily She will do well with another calm dog to hang out with and she is also good with cats. We think Molly is about 5 -6 yrs old

Next in line is Lexi: She and her 8 pups are coming into care tomorrow. And we will have more to tell you as we get to know her.
