Hey! there's still time for those abandoned poodles I found!

Posted by Greg Nino Houston Texas (RE/MAX West Houston Professionals) over 2 years ago

Hi Greg, I read your post late last night.  I am so glad the adorable little poodles found good homes!  I'm not sure the poodles would be a good fit for detecting explosives but I am certain my beagle, Snoopy, would be great at it. He is a sniffing machine! His only drawback is that he can be a little stubborn so maybe not.  Have a wonderful day, Greg! :o)

What a great idea.  I have cats though, so can't be sponsoring puppies.  The puppies would be in danger :o)!

That pup is a sweetie!  One of my listing clients operates a dog rescue group and she has a different dog in her care every time I go over there.

This is so nice of you to let people know about this program, Shirley.  I love your wallpaper that comes up before your blog-the black, pink, and "Emma" are so neat!!!!!!!!

Shirley,

I love that name, Snoopy!!

Oh my goodness!  What a cutie:-)  Somehow, that pup looks like a "paws to the ground" type of dog ready to perform duty in an admirable program.

Hi Shirley, What a great cause, Even if I lived in the area, I'm afraid I would get too attached - it takes very special and wonderful people to devote themselves to being a foster parent.

We already have a black lab but will pass on this info. to a few people that may have an interest. I know Ceil's sister just adopted a nice little dog and her brother adopted a cat.

What a cute little pup!  Looks like our dog Polo when he was small.  He got huge in about 6 months!

Have a great night!

Sincerely,

Kathleen

WE have a niece that raises dogs to be trained for the handicapped.  It is a VERY long training as she has the dog for a year or two.

How very cool. Dogs can do so much. Of course, so can our cats, but in a very different way. LOL
