Paxie
Biography for Paxie:

Pax is a happy dude who greets everyone like they are his new best friend and every day like it is the best day that the sun has risen on. He is more than half way to his ADBA championship, has his CGC and is working towards his BH title in Schutzhund, as well as starting in some beginning Agility classes. He has dabbled in lure coursing and weight pull in the past, and loves to tug and run and work. His most important role, however, is as my best friend!

Dutch von Wiggles aka Bubba
DutchBubba3Web This sweet 42lb guy has gone through so much! Bubba was abandoned in the streets and had a broken left rear leg that was left untreated for months. Funds were raised last year for his neuter and to insert a pin in his leg. The pin was adjusted as it was pressing against his sciatic nerve and eventually had to be prematurely removed due to his increasing pain. His leg has healed wonderfully but he's been chewing on his foot.

His interim foster dad reports:
