Today is the first day of summer! But this means the heat is officially here. Always be mindful of your pups' paws when you are walking them on hard surfaces like sidewalks or roads. Make sure your dogs have access to plenty of water and somewhere to cool off!

Brought to you by JSP Boston (available!).

Apparently, today is picnic day! Dealer would love a buddy to go picnicking with.

Shae joined the Humans for lunch today. And even though she used her cutest faces, the human did not share her tuna with Shae. Now, Shae is greatly disappointed.

Pepper is here to let everyone know that the kennel and all the dogs in it are safe! The flooding in Wheeling hasn't affected the river much, and we are located along it. Other than being grumpy that they are wet from all this rain, the dogs are okay!

Vader is here to wish you all a happy Father's day! Vader is one of our longer residents, retired in early February. He is affectionate and calm for a 2 year old, but he does like to play. Especially with stuffed things, which he immediately kills, and the big plastic egg toy, which he throws around the yard with his front paws. But he isn't too playful with the other dogs. He does very well with other boys, but he prefers the company of people to dogs. Vader walks very well on a leash and likes to meet strangers. He also LOVES to eat. This dog is like a vacuum! But because of this, we think he would be easy to train.

This older gentleman is Bears, sometimes Bearsly. Bears is 5 and he acts like it! He is not very playful and is rather aloof to people and the other boys in the yard. He likes to be pet, but he isn't going to bother you a lot for it. He isn't very playful, either. Bears likes to ruffle up the sand in the yard, lay in it, and then just watch his surroundings. He does very well with the other boys and usually isn't bothered by their antics. What Bears does like, however, is to be brushed. He loves the brush! If you bring it to him, he will lean against you and hold still so you can get all of him with it.

Meet Shae! Shae retired to us last week and has quickly warmed up to us to show us her wild side. While she may appear timid and calm at first, she is actually very people-oriented and playful! She will definitely be someone's Velcro-dog when she is adopted. Shae might love people, but she isn't a big fan of other dogs. Her trainer told us that she only liked one other dog at their kennel, and so far, she isn't liking any of the other girls we have now. So Shae might do best as an only dog where her humans can treat her like the little princess she is!

ADOPTION HOLD
Nibbles in the playroom. With all this rain, she had fun playing inside where it was nice and dry! She can be a bit nervous when it comes to new people and new things, but she does warm up after a little bit. And she LOVES to eat, so her acceptance can be easily bribed with some snacks. She would rather pile all the toys up and lay with them than play.

Want to meet Nibbles? Send us a message or email!

Brass had a great time meeting everyone last week! He loved everyone and even attempted going up some stairs all on his own, though there were only three steps so it wasn't very intimidating. We went up the elevator to get to the viewing stands and he wasn't bothered by it at all! Brass is still young and playful and full of life. He likes to play and does well with the other dogs, though he might do better as either a single dog or with one other sibling at home.

A great update for Rigatoni: He has been adopted on his birthday! Toni is no longer available.

Today is Toni's birthday! He turns a big TWO today! And he LOVED his pup-cake.

Did you know his race name, Mad Minute, is a term soldiers used in the Vietnam War? The man who named him was a veteran who came to visit Toni!

Mad Minute; Rigatoni.
