Almost all 60+ dogs saved from dirty Peoria home are out of PD custody

Peoria police announced Thursday that nearly all of the more than 60 dogs saved from an 'unlivable' home last month are adopted or are in animal rescues. Six Valley animal rescues jumped into help get the pups to dog shelters. But advocates highlighted the shelter crunch and investigators said no arrests have been made.

This is Toby (on the floor) and Ranger. They’re already adopted so I was just fostering them for a few hours while waiting for their new family to pick them up. It wasn’t for long but they were a joy to watch 😊

This is a recounting of one day several years ago, when we had two foster dogs, and our regular three. They were all 75 pounds; Mac was a big, white, goofy, deaf boy, Groceries had just become our foster. Micky, Zeus and Finn were our two boxers.

"Holy crap....this house. Four dogs in living room, three up and Micky laying down by me...the washer begins to spin...the plastic gate in the kitchen falls over right onto Mac's head---the deaf one--he never heard it coming and didn't react at all to it hitting him on the head----meanwhile, Finn, Zeus, and Grosh freaking took off like the world had just ended...Micky became alert, but didn't get up. Finn and Zeus were like "Holy crap, those damn gates are haunted right now."

I tell 'ya...it's a zoo here."

I am Julez! I just got adopted and see how much my big brother loves me already!!! I love love love having my own home. I was very scared in the shelter and I learned to fight and defend myself. I even fought going into my kennel. It was very hard. Luckily, my foster family took me home and helped me find my forever home! I am so lucky that I got to get out of the shelter and hang out with my foster family when waiting for my big brother to find me! I really hope all my shelter friends can find a foster family too!!

I promise I'll make it the most pawsome and fun-filled event ever!

The Indigo Dog Club has been created to catch in-shelter dogs who are the most in need for a potential foster or adopter. We share what makes these dogs special by focusing not only on details about their inner sweet doggie selves that will shine and blossom in a home but also on behavioral issues a foster/adopter would need to know to set them up for success!
Our website is a space to build connections and match potential fosters or adopters to a specific dog in the hope of minimizing the number of trips across the "rainbow bridge".

Sunshine, aka Sunny, had her spay yesterday and is 'chillin' in the sun with her housemates. She is a "wobble dog" meaning she has tremors and appears very bouncy when alert. She's very sweet, and her one litter mate who had it, has stopped any 90% of it.

#3Things #FosterDogs #AdoptDontShop

1. Our foster, Wendell is heading to his new home tomorrow (photo in reply. There's a family for every dog.
2. My wife just got a promotion!
3. We heat with wood pellets, and I still have at least 4 tons (200 40-pound bags) left and it's nearly March.

Wendell out and about. He is fascinated by this area near the woods. I did stop him from tumbling over the log onto that rock!

I have to say, what we do can be very hard...lots of sad dogs, sad situations stupid, stupid, STUPID and careless people. It's hard.

But then you see the dogs wag their tails. They get over the fear. They come TO you, not away from you. Their broken bodies heal. Their broken spirits are mended. They play. They get their hair back!

If they lose a leg, they figure it out. THEN! You find that person who takes them home! We've seen at least two dogs pick the person! It's amazing. You can actually SEE the bond. And off they go.

It's really good. REALLY GOOD.

THAT IS RESCUE.

Successfully washed Chihuahuas. Two towels were required and they seemed to enjoy the impromptu massage session while waiting for their shampoo to work.
