💟🐾 TEENY NEEDS A (foster or permanent) HOME 🙏🐕

Lil Teeny was surrendered to HOWS Project last Saturday. 🙌 And she was taken into short term foster by Amy and Jonathan so she’d have a soft place to land. 💟

She has since been vetted and spayed. She’s a healthy little 1.5 year old lab/pit/something else mix.
Per Amy, she is a very sweet girl who loves to give kisses. Her tail is constantly wagging. She gets scared by loud noises. She loves dinner and breakfast time. She takes treats very gently. She does not like baths, but she’s likely never had one before so we’ll give her a pass on that. She loves to jump on the sofa and cuddle with her humans. She’s also been very good about doing her business outside! 👍

Teeny has not been tested with kids or cats. Amy has two dogs and Teeny growls at them sometimes. We think she’s just overwhelmed— she’s been through a lot in this last week, and none of it is familiar. On the property from which she came, there were several other outside dogs and she seemed to be fine with them. She would even run off through the neighborhood with one if they were both lucky to slide out of their tethers.

With Amy and Jonathan being a temporary foster home, we need to move Teeny on to the next leg of her freedom journey, *preferably before this coming Friday* when Amy goes out of town.

HOWS is willing to bring in a trainer to assist with helping Teeny adjust if need be.

Might you or someone you know be looking for a Teeny little friend with whom to share your heart and home? 💖🙏 We’d love a furever home, but would be happy for a long term foster as well.

🙌💟🐕 GUESS WHO’S MOVING ON TO LIFE INSIDE?!?!?!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
What an awesome Valentine’s gift for Biggie! ❤️This handsome old lil stud muffin was surrendered to HOWS today and taken to Little Big Dog Rescue! Dot Terry already has a foster ready to receive him! 🙌
We are so thankful to Biggie’s people for wanting him to have a life inside, to Dot and her group for taking him in, and to Andrea Denton for transporting him from one end of the world to another!
Lots of logistics, but the stars aligned and because of a handful of dedicated people Biggie will never spend another night out in the cold again.

📣📣 A Little *Teeny* Correction Need Be Made to the Following Post:
Amy and Jonathan are planning only to foster Teeny...so this adorable Teeny weeny babe is going to be up for adoption soon!
We will have her vetted in the coming days, and Amy and Jonathan will better assess details about her so we can share more with you! Stay tuned! 💟🐕💝

🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾

🙌💪🐕🙂 Whew! HOWS has an amazing Saturday helping outside dogs in need. Major kudos to Darlene Hinton, Megan Rice, Karen Grubbs, Gabriele Ford, and Stacey Norris for bringing much comfort and joy on a sunny cold muddy day!

We provided new dog houses to Arctic and Apollo;
And we brought straw bedding, pine shavings, nylon collars, no tip water buckets, lighter weight tethers, stainless steel food bowls, dog food, treats, hugs and kisses to them as well as to Beethoven, Kujo, Ida, Biggie, Stripes, Midnight, Chubbs, Sheba, Remi, Daisy, Snips, Marley, Pinkie, Pickachu, Carmel, Jake, Squishy, Bandit, Merl Merl, a cat named Whiskey, Beastie, Storm, Hershey, and Cooper! They will all sleep better tonight 🐕🐈 (Us too 😉)

There was lots of teaching to go around as well, helping these critters’ people understand better practices. We are always here to help them help their animals — a partnership. 🤝

Bonus: We had lil Teeny surrendered to us! And faster than we could ever had hoped for, Amy Myers and beau Jonathan stepped in to adopt her😄💝 Teeny hit the jackpot! These folks are SUCH sweet and loving people ❤️

Thank you Team HOWS 02/08/2020! 🐶
