The Dog House

Let me start out by saying, I love The Dog House! The Dog House has a retail store and offer grooming & doggie daycare. What they continue to do to help homeless pets in need is, simply put, unbelievable. The Dog House helps out both K&R Small Animal Sanctuary & Wish Upon A Paw in so many ways. They provide foster care for bunnies, guinea pigs, hamsters, cats & dogs until they are adopted into loving families. They have an entire room set up for Wish Upon A Paw kittens. The dogs they provide foster care for get to play in daycare where they get to learn social skills with both dogs & people. When daycare is closed the dogs get to rest in a nice kennel.

Wish Upon A Paw had their first dog adoption (Toby) a few days ago. Toby was given so much love & care when he was at The Dog House. He loved daycare & loved the staff there. It was a wonderful experience for him. Toby was provided with a clean kennel, blankets to snuggle up & rest on, bones to chew on, toys & (as if that wasn't more than enough) The Dog House provided him with high quality food as well!

The Dog House also lets K&R and WISH hold adoptathons at their store. They put up a Christmas tree for the rescues to make a giving tree, for people to drop off some much needed donations for homeless pets. To say they go above & beyond is putting it lightly. I am just amazed at their generosity & willingness to help out.

Here is a picture of the giving tree The Dog House set up for us to decorate.

Wish Upon A Paw's First Adoptable Dog

Wish Upon A Paw (WISH) was started in May 2011 & has found wonderful homes for over 50 cats already! WISH took in their first adoptable dog on 11/11/11. His name is Toby & he is approximately 7 years old. He is a 60 lb Lab/Border Collie mix.

Toby is a super mellow dog! He gets along with other dogs, cats & is great with kids of all ages. He is staying at The Dog House in Appleton (LOVE THE DOG HOUSE). We brought him home with us for the weekend & he is doing great with us. All he wants to do is snuggle & dish out love. He is an easy going foster dog & an absolute joy to be around. We took him to an Adoptathon at The Dog House & then to Community Days at the Fox River Mall yesterday & he was so well behaved. He charmed everyone he met.

Toby came from a humane society up north where he was surrendered because his family had to move & could not take him with. It's such a sad reason for a dog to end up homeless, but even more heartbreaking when the dog is as sweet & gentle as Toby. He is truly the perfect dog & whoever adopts him into their family will have a pal for life!

On a side note, having Toby here at our house has been great for my dogs. Miles has gained a ton of confidence as he shows Toby the ropes. Miles & Riley seem to be closer than ever. Toby has brought a certain calmness to our house. He's an amazing boy!
