Devastation

Sadly, we had to give up Beaker this morning. The short of it, is that from whatever his past trauma that he suffered before we adopted him, he has significant emotional and behavioral needs that we can't help him with. He's a perfect dog when we're around. Well mannered, playful, house trained, crate trained, and affectionate. However, when we're not around, he's a terror and becomes a danger to himself and his environment. So, sadly, Beaker is now at a shelter looking for a new home - hopefully a wonderful family that will have someone home most of the day to work with him on his anxiety. The Humane Society said that they don't doubt he'll find a good home very quickly. We hope so too.

We'll miss you, Beaks! Be a good dog and learn to trust that your new owners will always come home. Keep being your playful, wonderful self.

And.....makes 3!

Meet the newest member of our family! Introducing Beaker!

A little bit about Beaker...he's a one-year-old Border Terrier (we think mix). He was found wandering the streets of San Jose a couple weeks ago. He loves his chew toys and can chew through anything stuffed. He's a little nervous about being left alone, but loves company and attention!

Feel free to come by and if you have a dog, once he's a little bit more settled, he'd love to have a playdate!

Photos removed because they make me sad.
