Joya entered our lives heavily pregnant, matted, burred and emaciated after having been abandoned on the streets. The day after Joya came here, she got a bath, a full body shave and a vet check.
Five days after her arrival, she gave birth to six large, healthy, hungry puppies.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Nicco! Finley! Koko! Rory! Buckie! and Brady!!!
Each of these birthday pups was adopted by a wonderful family and each is having a great life!
Special thanks to NorCal Poodle Rescue, who ensured their survival since Joya was literally on death’s door when she was rescued from the streets. As Joya’s foster, I was deeply impressed with the commitment NorCal Poodle Rescue provided to the puppies and Mom. This rescue continues to help too many wonderful dogs in dire circumstances and spreads joy through the world whenever one of these poodles/mixes is adopted.

You think dogs will not be in heaven? I tell you, they will be there long before any of us.

POODLE SPRITES
Spring appears in waves as sea of curls return to play - gold growls sail through blue.

Dogs have very short lives so every day has to be a good day.
