NCCR Alumni-What Are They Up To?

Although I wasn't invited, I hear the sheep herding clinic was pretty cool today. I guess it's not really a place for a cat to hang out at, well in case some of those pesky dogs decided to try to herd felines instead! So in case you are interested, here is a clip with Mojo learning the ropes. He graduated from NCCR into a permanent home in the Fall of 2008. Another former resident, Coconuts, a very handsome Border Collie who was also adopted in 2008, made his appearance as well along with his "sister" Haley. See his slide show below too. Wow! So many amazing dogs used to stay at NCCR.

Big Black Dog (BBD) Dilemma

Since I'm a black cat and my chances of adoption were very slim at the time I joined forces here at NCCR, I'm no stranger to what it's like to fall into that "just ordinary" category. The six black dogs pictured here plus Brock, another black lab, are all here waiting for homes. You may be suprised to learn that black dogs and cats are often overlooked while their fairhaired companions are quickly chosen. My friends here think I'm the neatest cat even though I went unnoticed at the shelter I was orginally at, so hey, take a second look at these unique guys and gal so as not to pass over what might just be the perfect companion for you!

Meet Bailey!

I'd like to introduce you to one very special little fellow. His name is Bailey and he is a young Pomeranian. Bailey was healthy when purchased from a breeder but something happened to him in his home and he ended up with a very crooked back leg and then was no longer wanted. While he made the necessary adjustments to still be able to get around, often walking on his front two legs, he tired quickly. Once he arrived at NCCR, the search was on to help him become more mobile. After many measurements and fittings, Bailey is now the proud owner of his own set of wheels, carefully crafted especially for him, by Dennis and Jenni Lombard. Here are his videos, he is one very special fellow. Oh, and please note, I make a couple cameo appearances!
