Peanut...

There she is!  Check out that smile!  Peanut is really enjoying her new foster home and family.  They think she is just beautiful, and are already smitten with her.  She really loves baking in the sun, looking out their front door.

Is there anything better than seeing that?!  This girl has been laying on cold cement for quite some time in the shelter, so I am sure this is heaven to her.  It is precious to see her this way, enjoying such a simple thing like looking out the door.  Her foster family, good friends of mine, tell me, this is one of her favorite things to do.

And there she is enjoying her new back yard.  Her foster mama tells me she loves to run around the back yard, and even buried one of her treats yesterday.  Too cute!  For those of us at the shelter, there is nothing sweeter than seeing one of our favorite dogs finally get the life she deserves.  She is adjusting very well to her new home, and loves playing with her toys, laying on her comfy bed and being loved by her family.

She is particularly fond of her foster Daddy, and I am pretty sure, he with her. ;)  There is nothing like seeing a 6 foot man reduced to mush by a 70 lb dog.  Look at her snuggling up, while he is petting her.

I am going to see Peanut today, and can't wait to see her out of the shelter environment!  Shelter Link member and dog trainer, Jack, has spent lots of time at Peanut's new home, and has given Peanut what I like to call "Jack" days.  These are special days for any dog.  Jack loves to take the dogs for long bike rides, and just spend quality time with them, letting them experience the world.  Every dog should have a Jack day.  Francey, Peanuts foster mommy, tells me they have learned so much already from Jack.  He has given them the knowledge and tools to use with not only Peanut, but their own pooch, Max.  Francey and her family are so grateful for this experience and are so happy to give Peanut a loving home.

Peanut thanks you for reading, and thinks everyone should foster a loving dog like her.  It will be an amazing journey for you!  Shelter Link is so happy to have 3 dogs in foster care, 2 of them Pits.  Kringle and Precious still need foster families.  Please consider coming down and meeting them.  You would be giving them a chance at a new life.  Click here to see more about Kringle and Precious.
