Jordy Loves the Dog Park!

Jordan adores going to the fenced in dog parks. Look at his happy smile. He loves to run and run. Tonight a bunch of migrating swallows drove him crazy. Everywhere he pointed there was a bird!

He's Never Met a Dog He Doesn't Like


Jordy loves people, but he also loves other dogs. This boy gets along with everyone! On the left, he's relaxing at his foster home with foster sibs. On the right, he's at the dog park at dusk, playing with a boxer and boston terrier.

Oh, Man the Packers Lost!

These boys delayed their bedtime in order to watch the Packers play Dallas. What a loss! Here they are with their tiny toy football, exhausted from rooting for the pack (Jordan in back).

Hmm, a New Kind of Leash

Jordan is trying out the gentle leader. It goes around his nose and helps keep him from pulling. He thinks it's kind of wierd, but he loves getting pieces of hot dogs for putting up with it.

Jordan Learns to Walk on a Leash

Jordan is learning to walk on a leash. He's clearly been hunting before. Pacing from side to side is great for scanning for birds, but it tends to trip humans. It's also kinda hard on the other dogs walking with him. Jordan is learning to walk straight between his foster sibs. Here he is, banging into Duncan first, then Abby. They patiently put up with his antics, knowing he'll get it soon.

Voila, by the end of the walk, the three amigos are moving straight ahead.

The end of another good day

Jordan has settled in a little more. He's still a little skinny from his successful heartworm treatment, but we're working to put a little weight on him. He's a good eater and is very happy to get treats. He played with former IBR Duncan a lot today, and wore himself out. Here's Jordan, so tired his head and paws droop over the chair. This is the first night he's felt comfortable getting on the chair, so he's starting to feel more relaxed in his new setting.

Are you the person for me?

Jordan is dreaming of his forever home.

Everything about this boy is gentle and calm. He likes to be in the same room as his people, but he doesn't demand attention. That doesn't mean some nice petting isn't welcome! And even if he's sound asleep, if you say his name or talk to him, he thumps his adorable, turned-up tail.
