Our foster Kobe is coming up on his 3rd week with us and now enjoys hanging out on the patio, as long as we keep him company. This week we made progress on a nasty ear infection Kobe has been battling. He was so good at the vet’s and the staff was completely smitten with …

Foster Kobe-Day 10
Our foster Kobe has been with us 10 days now and we are getting to know him better each day. Kobe is a big homebody and is a bit agoraphobic, he does not enjoy going on walks and is the first dog we have encountered who doesn’t like roaching on the lawn. We are working with …
Fosters Sydney & Bella -Adopted!
At the start of the year, we fostered 5-year-old bonded golden sisters Sydney & Bella for a few days, while they waited to catch a ride up to Homeward Bound. Sydney wasn’t able to run and play with her sister because she was in such pain, due to bilateral torn anterior cruciate ligaments(knees), in both legs. …
Foster Kobe-Day 1
Meet Kobe! Kobe is a 6-year-old boy who came all the way from Taiwan to find the perfect home. He is a loving and affectionate boy (the term velcro has been mentioned on more than one occasion) with a moderate energy level. He gets along good with other dogs, but doesn’t like to share his food …
Treats and Munchies
When fostering, one of the things you need is food and treats….a lot of them for hungry pups. Most foster families supply these themselves, so shopping for treats becomes a bit of a regular event . This is a sample of some of the supplies we keep on hand for our fosters, and this particular batch …
Happiness is in the little things…
Happiness is getting an update about a foster. Some of you may remember a long time ago we fostered a little puppy named Niko. He was smart as a whip and had razor sharp puppy teeth:) Niko was only with us a few days until he caught a ride up to Homeward Bound but …
Foster Larry-Update
Back home from some traveling and I found this photo of Larry on a roll of film (Kodak Gold400/Nikkormat FTN camera). Larry is now in a foster home in Northern California and is still looking for his forever home. It is hard to believe such an awesome boy has not fond his home yet, but …
Fosters Sydney & Bella-Day 4
Today Sydney and Bella made the journey up to Homeward Bound, where we’re sure they will soon sweep a new forever family off their feet. We had a lot of fun with these two and wish them all the best in their new lives. The girls enjoyed their last night cuddled up on their beds, …
Fosters Sydney & Bella-Day 3
An action packed day with work didn’t leave much time for photos today but I really liked this one of the girls watching some neighborhood action I grabbed with my phone. The living room is Sydney & Bella’s favorite room in the house. All our dogs love this room. My theory is it’s because of the …
Fosters Sydney & Bella-Day 2
Sydney & Bella had an awesome day today. After salmon for breakfast, Bella got a walk while Sydney played at home. (She is waiting for surgery for an ACL injury, so is on restricted exercise.Sydney will get her surgery as soon as she arrives at Homeward Bound this week.) Bella was very lovely to a little …
Goodbyes & Hellos
Early this morning, was a sad time as Larry left us, on his trip up to Homeward Bound and to his forever family. He is an awesome dog and we wish him much love on his new journey. Immediately after Larry left, two Golden sisters showed up on our doorsteps looking for a place to …
Foster : Larry-Day 12
More fun with Larry… He’s just fooling here, Larry gets up bright and early, ready to go for a walk…but the bed is so comfy…. Care to kick the old soccer ball around a bit before work? Chillin’ after an evening walk… And this one is just because…
Foster : Larry-Day 10
Larry got a bonus outing today so he spent the afternoon and early evening napping…. I present…lazy Larry… …and busted on the bed…. “What?” If you have room in your heart and home to take in this great-natured guy, please contact Homeward Bound.
Foster : Larry-Day 9
Larry did well on an easy hike through Griffith Park this weekend. He was very interested in the horses we passed, sniffing their scent as they trotted by. After his hike, he relaxed while we did some gardening. Larry was watching people walk by. Although he will bark to alert you to people in front …
Foster : Larry-Day 7
Larry is still chillin’ with us until he finds his forever home, which we’re sure will happen very soon. This handsome lad is looking better everyday, as we have him on a diet (salmon, fruit, veggies) and an exercise schedule to get him into tip-top shape (he is on the chubby side:). His fur is …
Foster : Larry-Day 4
We were practicing our obedience commands when I captured Larry’s perfect sit-stay. He sat there until I gave him the “come” command. We are working on both hand and vocal signals. I am pleased to announce Larry has mastered “leave it” and will wait until I tell him “ok” to get a cookie inches from …
Foster : Larry-Day 3
Larry’s 3rd day with us was very wet and full of rain so he spent most of the day lounging inside. He came to work with me and was the perfect boy, sleeping for most of the day and happy to take a walk in the middle, even though we got quiet soaked. In the …
Foster : Larry-Day 2
Larry has settled in nicely and we are getting to know this great guy. He is a moderate energy dog, happy to sleep at your feet while you work after a good morning walk and play. Larry is a bit overweight right now and he might feel a little more frisky once he gets to …
Foster : Larry
Meet Larry, a flat coat retriever. Sprung from jail, Larry is now livin’ large and taking advantage of not being cooped up in a cell. As you can see he is pretty happy about his new freedom. First thing on his agenda: get clean. A guy gets mighty smelly in jail, so after a bath, …
