AVAILABLE: Anton and Nelli are so very patiently waiting for a forever home together. Typically when you adopt a dog from us they come directly from Spain and have yet to live in a house and learn house things. Anton and Nelli have been in the US since April and have learned how to house. They are house trained, (though a learning curve should be expected in a new home), crate trained, great with other dogs, love to play, snuggle, and hunt squirrels. No kitties, yes 100% they need a six foot fence, google “galgos jumping fences” if you’re unsure why, they are currently being fostered in northern Colorado, and must be homed together. Please tell everyone about Anton and Nelli, share and spread the word. They have hearts of gold!

It’s with great pleasure we get to announce Charly is adopted! Charly will be headed home to California tomorrow with our dear friends Pia and Brian Corder. We will sure miss Charly, but what a great weekend with our friends. Enjoy your charmed life Charly and see you in a month. Thanks to all who helped get him home, especially Ibizan Hound Rescue, Andres Pete Salar, carolinealbessart. Victorian Coleman you called it! 😆

Jade is on her way home. Two legs today, 958 miles driven, one rental car, one borrowed car, an Uber ride, snow, rain, and an overnight with wonderful sighthound friends. Both Sherry Michelle Terrell foster mom and first transport leg driver (6+ hours round trip) and Turley second leg driver (10+ hours round trip) enjoyed both snow and rain on the drive. Talk about going the distance for sighthounds in need, these two are the heroes of the day and we could not have made this happen without them.

Brandon is currently driving a rental mini van in a blizzard. Please send him extra love and good vibes on his late night drive home. Also a big thanks to Rowe & Sharon Haugen for overnighting Jade and doing the drive from Reno to Bishop, CA where Jade will meet her new mom Lorinda Stack and brother, SABL alumni, Nico. To Claudia Presto as well, for connecting us with Bart and Sharon, and last but not least, Jeanmarie Kapp, thank you for loaning us The Beast for this transport and always being willing to lend a hand, because what's a few thousand miles for a lifetime of love!

ADOPTED! We all live in this world, so you know it can be hard, but I have to tell you the Bluebird family always leaves me in awe and filled with hope. We may be a small rescue, but our might comes from the incredible humans who support us. They are our adopters, volunteers, supporters, and most of all they are also our friends. From a life of who knows what, to the loving care of El loco de los perros, to America, to a wonder friend and foster home with Sherry Michelle Terrell in Oregon, to what will be an absolutely GRADE A home with one of our adopters turned friends in Arizona and a new SABL alumni brother Nico (previously Talvante), who also came from El Loco de los Perros.

This was the text I received not even four hours ago, "I can’t even tell you the heart strings that have been pulled in knots since I saw Jade's sweet picture and heard about her personality!!!" From an adopter who wasn't planning on adopting to being willing to drive 36 hours to pick up Jade and bring her home. That's a few thousand miles for a lifetime of love and going the distance for a hound in need.

It goes without saying that being a foster requires a deep strength and heart courage. Sherry and family would have loved to keep Jade and we would have said yes in a heartbeat, but Sherry felt Jade would benefit from the attention she'd get in a smaller pack. She did what was best for Jade, not what was easiest for her. Jade also had part of her adoption fee sponsored by another adopter turned friend Beach and SABL alumn Eliza, to make sure that Jade's new family can spend the extra money on whatever she needs to spoil her. I will sleep with a smile on my face tonight and hope Jade and bunny do too.

AVAILABLE ANTON & NELLI: An adorable pair of besties who arrived to the US on March 25th adopted together, but due to unforeseen circumstances out of their control and ours, need to find a new family. They are currently fostered in American Fork, UT, but are available to approved adopters in the Rocky Mountain West. These two have been through a lot and we'd like to see them homed together. It's not to say we won't consider all possibilities, but we will most certainly make sure each one ends up in a home with other large, kind, canine buddies, six foot fences, loving humans, an abundance of snuggles, and opportunities to settle in, relax, and discover the joys of life on their timeline and terms. After all the change in their lives we want to someone to see these two and say, "My life won't be as bright without them."

Passport date of birth for both is 6/1/2023. They are both great with other dogs, male and female, hard nope for kitties, Anton travels well in the car, Nelli is well, a more nervous Nelli when it comes to car rides. They are learning house training fast, sleep great through the night in the human bed, and need some work on leash walking (they are young and excited about life, what do you expect). Additional photos and information on our website www.bluebirdlane.org. Please considering sharing far and wide so that we can increase the chances of finding a home for them together. If you want a quiet, easy, seems like a pet rock kind of dog, Anton and Nelli are not for you.

ADOPTED: We are way behind on updating all of you on our successful spring transport, with 10 dogs arriving March 25th, but first things first, we have three amazing dogs available for adoption. Let's start with our senior Podenco Ibicenco Jade. She is pretty much perfect, but check out the "Available Dogs" page on our website www.bluebirdlane.org for all the details. Jade is 11 years old, fantastic with other dogs, unknown with cats, and weighs approximately 55 lbs. She is currently fostered in Bend, OR, but available to approved adopters in the Rocky Mountain West.

A huge thank you to Galgo Rescue International Network for sponsoring Jade through their "Just One More" grant to help make sure deserving Podencos and Galgos make it to the US. It truly takes a team to get these dogs home. Jade came from El loco de los perros in Spain where she was lovingly cared for until she could make the flight to the US. She is a truly magical dog looking for a human who understands a life well lived is about quality, not quantity.

AVAILABLE: Charly is settling right into life at Ibizan Hound Rescue. He slept the night in the kitchen, sorted some rude puppies this morning, had some cuddles, did a little counter surfing, looked out the kitchen windows, had his blood drawn at the vet, did a bit of adventuring, and enjoyed some lounging. It’s been a great day for Charly, loads better than perrera life!

In a joint effort with help from carolinealbessart, El loco de los perros, and Ibizan Hound Rescue we pulled Charly from the perrera. He arrived at Ibizan Hound Rescue today after a few days with Andres Pete Salar and is about to enjoy his dinner. Charly will be arriving to the US this spring, he’s a tall boy 26 inches, skinny, passport DOB 6/1/24, he has a rich deep bark, a gentle soul, and walked right into the IHR pack with no problems. We are smitten with this boy.

ERBA UPDATE: She has arrived to Mandy's Rescue Dogs and then straight to the vet. She has blocked saliva glands, which the vet drained, and now we wait for the swelling to go down. Back at Mandy’s she happily took her antibiotic tablets hidden in sausage. Unwanted because she was too old to have more babies, this gentle momma was given a chance for a new chapter in life. And yes, she is every bit as sweet as she looks. Follow her here and at Mandy’s Rescue Dogs to watch her story unfold. Donations towards her care in Spain can be made via PayPal to Mandy’s Rescue Dogs at [email protected] Please note “ERBA”.
