China (now called Ellie)

Mar 26, 2021

We changed China's name to Ellie, like Miss Ellie from the Dallas show,seeings how she did come from Texas.We thought of Daisy at first but she did not like that name at all ,and is listening very well to Ell,although Bern does like to call her Rubberbutt sometimes,cause she does like it when he rubs her bum. She has settled in fairly well, she is still kinda nervous about Bern, which is kinda sad cause all Bern wants is for her to love him back. She is good with him when I am not around, but I really am her person I think.  She gets on well with our first dog Ruby, but has made friends with a dog from down the road, so much so that the other dog  has moved in here with us also {his choice not ours}. She LOVES to run and fast I might add, and Ryley loves to chase her.  For the most part she is listening and staying in the yard,but she really has a mind of her own and if there is a german shepard to be chased off the yard and down the road no one can stop her.  She only barks at other animals when they come on the yard.  Not one of the dogs I own make very good dog bells,for they do not bark when people come around.  I don't like yappy dogs, but it would be nice if they could/would announce guest. Oh well we cant have everything now can we.  We like her very much and she us I guess, she is a very quite little girl who is slowly allowing us the occasional cuddle, and some times I am allowed to give her a little kiss.  None of that mushy stuff tho a quick peck is all that is required.  She even had an afternoon snooze with me in my lasyboy the other day,so I really think she will come around.I have sent you a photo of her just hanging in the back yard hope you like it.

Thank you for trusting us ,she really does have a good home with us here

Till next time  Cheryl, Bern, Ruby and Ellie

Tony

26 Mar, 2021
Tony came from Cabo San Lucas (SP) Mexico with Julia. I met him at her place while she was fostering him and instantly fell in love with him. He has also received a last name. Sanchez, so he is always referred to as Tony Sanchez. He has settled into our pack with other dog siblings. He makes us laugh regularly. He thinks he is a lot bigger than his six pounds but that's to be expected with a chi mix. He loves to go to the dog park, snuggle with anyone who is warm (especially if there is a heated blanket involved). He recently has also learned to play fetch and loves small sized balls. Unfortunately, he often needs to wear a sweater or coat because of his extremely short hair. I usually get a dirty look and he won't move. But then he gets over it and off he goes. Happy as a lark. We sure love him and I must say he has a special spot in my heart! Thanks, Heather

Tika formerly Violet

26 Mar, 2021
I adopted Tika (formerly Violet) on May 18, 2017. She’s from California, she was on the streets with her puppies when you guys found her. Tika was spayed and sent straight to Calgary. Naturally, she was a bit out of sorts from all that. Her foster mum was so great and encouraging. Even though Tika wouldn’t come near me at first, her foster mum assured me she just takes a bit of time to warm up. It was about 6 hours after she got to my house before she curled up on my lap and it was an instant connection. She has done well in the snow, she doesn’t really like her jacket. As soon as I take her jacket off, she rips around the house, it's really funny. I absolutely adore her, and I love her so much! She has so much personality (as you can see from our pictures). She definitely loves to snuggle, and sleep under the covers. She is really good with other dogs, and she loves cats. She knows a lot of tricks now, she has recently learnt how to roll over without any help from me. I’m a proud mummy! Thank you so much Little Mutts Rescue for everything you do and for giving me Tika. "Rescue dogs aren't broken, they've simply experienced more life than other dogs. If they were human, we would call them wise. They would be the ones with tales to tell and stories to write, the ones dealt a bad hand who responded with courage. Don't pity a rescue dog. Adopt one. And be proud to have their greatness by your side" Quote unknown Thanks again,  Justine & Tika

Joey

26 Mar, 2021
Joey (schnauzer x terrier from Mexico) came to his forever home in Lethbridge on April 9, 2016.  We are so grateful to Little Mutts for giving Joey a chance and being our gateway to gaining such a perfect furry family member.  His were the first pair of sad eyes that I saw on the website and I knew instantly that we had to apply to adopt him, but we were leaving on a family vacation so had to wait until after Easter before bringing any animal into our home.  As fate would have it, he was still available when we returned to Canada and he was home with us the following weekend!  [Many thanks to his Auntie Kat {foster mom} for caring for him in the meantime!]  He was timid of several things when we first brought him home, but he settled in quickly and attached to each member of his human family (though he's really a mama's boy, when it comes down to it!)  We truly feel that it was meant to be - he's definitely one of us!  He sleeps with each of our children when they go to bed, and ends up at our feet when it's our turn to settle in for the night.  He has a best friend two doors down and has playdates several times a week to wrestle, but also loves his down time to just enjoy being a pampered pooch. Thanks so much, Little Mutts!  

Chico 3

26 Mar, 2021
Chico has been a joy to have in the house.  He has an adorable personality that goes with being an adorable little dog.  His background must have included some really good training because he is good at following commands when he wants to and there are treats involved.    We love this little fellow and don’t mind too much that he barks a lot, will bite people who come in the house, and tries to attack dogs outside no matter what the breed.  Quite a little character.  But we love him to bits.  He is so affectionate with us and gets lots of affection back.   We feel very fortunate that we found this little fellow and wouldn’t trade little Chico for anything!  He may not be a dog for everyone but he sure is a dog for us!   Bridge

BellNowHarriet

26 Mar, 2021
A quick update on Miss Harriet (formerly Bell). She has been such an amazing addition to our family! She has become best buds with our other dog Huey, she follows him everywhere! She is so good on walks now, she comes when called (getting treats of course) and has regular off leash walks at a park daily. She doesn’t stray far from myself or Huey but wants to greet each person and dog that she meets. Harriet LOVES my 3 children! Everyone is greeted each morning with a face full of kisses and her little tail wags so fast. She has had a few accidents in the house but few and far between. We absolutely love her to bits! I know she needs a haircut but I can’t bring myself to cut those eyebrows!😍 Thank you to Little Mutts, we feel very lucky to have Harriet in our lives.

Ellie Mae

26 Mar, 2021
Hello to the amazing Little Mutts Rescue Team!!  Just wanted to give you an update on little Miss Ellie Mae aka Miyoko who we adopted October 18th, 2018.  Ellie Mae has been with us for just over one year and has settled into her new fur-ever home very well.  She knows this is her turf and protects it when necessary – all 7 lbs of her.  Ellie is such a cuddle bug and loves to watch tv with me or get under the covers when we go to bed.  From the start she had great puppy manners and we have both figured out the signs to let her outside to do her business. She enjoys her walks and treats like; cucumbers, cauliflower, carrots, apples, cheese and just about anything that falls on the floor.  We have been trying to encourage her to play with the numerous toys she has but she would rather just cuddle up and sleep.  I certainly don't mind.  Thank you again for your patience in finding me the perfect match – Ellie Mae.  She continues to bring me joy, laughter, love and lots of kisses.
