Mimosa
|
Mimosa is altered, microchipped, current on vaccinations, wormed, treated for fleas and ticks, and current on heartworm prevention.
|
Sex: Female
Date of birth: 6/1/2013 Breed: Sharpei/Boxer mix Special notes: Blind Mimosa’s history: At 6 years old, and blind, Mimosa was surrendered to a high volume shelter in Fresno by her owner, just two hours after giving birth to 6 puppies, who were also surrendered together in a bucket. A rescuer intercepted her before she entered the shelter door and contacted Dogma to rescue her. She was scared, confused and just wanted a safe place to nurse her puppies. She had been neglected, and she had patches of fur missing and smelled terrible. She had clearly had birthed many litters prior to this one. We bathed her, gave her a safe, warm bed to nurse her puppies and began the healing. Because she had puppies, she was kept separate from the other dogs in the foster home. Sadly most of her puppies became ill and died. The surviving puppy was adopted to a loving home, at which time Mimosa began focused medical treatment for her skin, more dedicated attention to leash training and obedience, and joined the resident dogs in the foster home. Being a yard dog her entire life, Mimosa did not know how to walk on a leash, nor did she know how to navigate stairs or a dog door. Fast forward a couple months, and this amazing Mama has become a happy go lucky, mans-best-friend, one of our favorite diamond-in-the rough mama dogs. She has come so far since she first arrived at Dogma. She has learned how to walk on a leash, corrects very easily if she pulls a bit, and can now race up and down stairs that used to terrify her as a blind dog in a new home. She is perfectly housetrained and has no accidents in the house. Her fur has grown back in, and we keep her skin in shape with twice weekly baths, and capsules of salmon oil in her food. A grain free diet works best for her skin as well. She is a happy dog. Loves people, loves dogs in the home and ones she meets on walks. Always ready to play, but is content to relax on a rug or sun herself outside if it's just not play time. She likes to tear her toys to bits, so Kong brand toys have worked well for her, as they are tough enough to withstand her chewing on them. Other Dogs: Mimosa is very friendly with other dogs and loves to wrestle, play tug of war and snuggle up with the dogs in her foster home. She has no problems cozying up to one of the resident grumpy dogs, sharing his dog bed and making him her friend. Cats: Despite being blind, she will chase off cats, so she should not be in a house with access to cats. Housetraining: She is perfectly housetrained – never has an accident and can hold it all day. She currently uses a dog door to let herself in and out. People/kids: She loves people – doesn’t have any issues with fear or aggression, and does great with men, women and kids. She is an out and out fun dog and always ready to play with you. She would make a great family pet. |
June
|
June is altered, microchipped, current on vaccinations, wormed, treated for fleas and ticks, and current on Heartworm prevention.
|
Sex: Female
DOB: 12/17/2018 Description: Chihuahua Mix Meet June: June is a 3-4 month old, female Chihuahua mix. We expect her to grow to about 15 pounds full size. June is a tiny dog with a huge personality. Chihuahuas are often feisty and they are loyal to the person(s) they choose as their own. Despite the many endearing qualities of the Chihuahua, his tiny size does not make this breed a great choice for children. They are far too small and fragile for most children under 12. June arrived from a hoarding situation along with a bigger batch of dogs from the home. They were infested with ticks and underweight. To say she was terrified in her new surroundings is an understatement. After a dinner of hand-fed chicken breast and a good night’s sleep in a covered crate she quickly came around. Now she follows her foster family around to be held and is always willing to flip onto her back for a good belly rub. She is doing very well on housetraining, but occasionally poops inside. She is currently being fostered in a home with two children over 12, dogs, and cats. |
Katie

Katie is altered, microchipped, current on vaccinations, wormed, treated for fleas and ticks, and current on Heartworm prevention.

Sex: Female
DOB: 12/17/2018 Description: Long-haired Terrier Mix Special notes: Tripod Meet Katie: Meet sweet Katie, a 1.5 year old, 12 pound Maltipoo x. Katie was found roaming in the Central Valley with a badly injured leg and ended up at an overcrowded shelter. After joining our rescue it was determined that the leg needed to be removed. She has now recovered and is ready for her forever home. Katie wants to be somebody’s baby and would love a warm lap to lay on all day. She would also do great with respectful children and could run around the yard with the best of them. This girl can run like the wind and she knows it. Missing a leg isn’t a disability to her. On that note, Katie will require a very secure fence in her new home. She is an active dog and if she gets out of the yard she will make you give chase. Upon first meeting she prefers the company of woman but given a bit if time and she warms up to men. Katie is adventurous and very intelligent. She will make a wonderful pet for some lucky person. |

He currently weighs 18 pounds and we expect him to grow to be around 25 pounds full size. Billy is one of three puppies found in a field in Stockton. When he first arrived he was fearful and did not want to interact with people. With a great deal of patience, and love, Billy has learned that people are awesome. He is a sweet, friendly dog who’s looking for a great new family. Billy is housetrained if he has a dog door to get out. He is smart, and does very well with other dogs. He is currently housed with large and small dogs. He would probably do great with kids over 8 as he likes to play and be social, but he will still need love and reassurance to adapt to a new home. He loves water and likes to play in the dirt and run in the orchard. Because he is very light skinned it would be better for him to have a lot of inside time. |

That’s how we realized the were Cattle Dog/Corgi mixes. If you look at them closely you will see the easily recognizable Cattle Dog ticking and markings on an equally recognizable Corgi body. It’s the craziest, cutest, most interesting litter we’ve seen in a long time. These puppies have a ton of personality. They love to run, are curious, and maybe just a touch too smart for their own good. They have been fostered in a home with other dogs, and have continued receiving lots of attention from people.
