He's got a sweet little face. I hope he does well and can't wait to hear all about him when he gets settled in. Soon.... Good luck!

This waiting is killing me! Michele from Little Dog Rescue just called and said it will be about 5pm before she can leave there with him.
So it will be about 5:30 before we meet her to pick him up.

How sweet, you're an angel. I love the older babies! He is a doll. I hope all goes well for him at the vet.

Oh, Reno has already been vetted. It is a new group that has to go to be vetted. The dogs don't go to foster homes until they have been vetted.

What a sweet little dog! I'm sure he will be just fine in your home even if only for a little while. We are caring for a 12 year old yorkie that was given away to rescue - he is wonderful.

Patti · 09-17-2010, 12:56 PM

What a cute face. You are doing a wonderful thing.

megansmomma · 09-17-2010, 12:57 PM

Oh what a sweetie~I'm sure he will fit right in and make him self at home

I like the name Reno~my husband has a friend named Reno. He was best man at our wedding so I say keep it~we have 24 yrs of marriage behind us with a little bit of help from Reno.

margaritaville · 09-17-2010, 01:03 PM

He's adorable. Looks like he could use some love.

Rhetts_mama · 09-17-2010, 03:22 PM

Is he there yet?

Beamers Mom · 09-17-2010, 03:38 PM

Got home with him about 30 minutes ago!

We met Michele in a McDonalds parking lot. She had Reno on the grass, and Bruce knelt down and Reno made a beeline for him and started licking his face! Michele was surprised. She said that is was a good sign.
He lay on Bruce's lap all the way home!
He has been fine since we got him home. Beamer and Lil Bit have been sniffing him and he, of course, had to check them out too. He is, naturally, very timid and unsure.
I have a belly band on him, as one of the first things he did was lift his leg!

He looks just like his photos. Michele took a couple of photos of us with him and when she e-mails them to me I'll post them. He does need a groom, but my groomer will be here Wednesday so I'll have her groom him.
He is "investigating" the house, as he has never been in a home before, been a puppy mill dog all his life. I think he will adjust soon.

normarae63 · 09-17-2010, 03:59 PM

Congrats Sylvia! I'm sure with you two loving on him he'll be a whole new guy in just a short while.

Bless your heart for taking this guy in and giving him a chance to be in a home

That makes me so happy- I bet he will fit right in- He is a little cutie pie- please keep us updated and post pics- i will be looking forward to it

AllDogBoots · 09-17-2010, 04:06 PM

Oh I'm so excited for Reno! He's going to be so happy with you guys. Can't wait to see a photo of all of them together.

Patti · 09-17-2010, 05:53 PM

Sounds like he will adjust quickly. I am so thrilled he is in a loving home to get him started on a better life. What a great thing you are doing.

Beamers Mom · 09-17-2010, 06:45 PM

He is now settled down for the night. I have a small pen (plenty big enough for him to move around in) that I put him in for the night. He has food and water in case he wants some in the night. He hadn't seem too interested in the food and water bowls I have down for Lil Bit and Beamer (they are free fed), so I was a little worried that he may not eat. But when I put him in the pen I gave him a jerky treat (just 97% lean ground beef that I dehydrate myself) and he loved it. So gave him a couple more and a chicken jerky (again dehydrated myself from chicken breast that Bruce had cooked). Plus he decided to eat the food in the bowl I put in the pen.
He has been through a lot today - being brought to a new place to "strangers" so he is doing a lot better than I expected. He will soon get used to being in a home. Puppy mill rescues are so special.

Bruce will let him out in the morning if he is up before me, and he will have the free roam of the house, but the pen door will stay open in case he wants to go in there to feel "safe". I also put a blanket in there (thank you Sugarmamma

) and he can take that with him when he gets his forever home.
He is so precious. Going to keep the name Reno (how could I say "no" to Megansmomma

).
