Our JoJo
by Roberta Augustini
 On January 27, 2017, my girls Angel and
Princess traveled from Aberdeen, NC to Dreamweaver
Farms to find the next member of our family! We met so
many wonderful babies, and I wanted to take everyone
home but with the help of my favorite doggie friend,
Pamela Lavender, we were picked out by Little Man
Eden, who we named JoJo, after my family's first dog
when I was five!
JoJo jumped right in and started running the joint. He
was doing pretty well at this until he tried to take
over Princess Scooter Pie's position on the raised
footrest of the communal lazy boy. At sixteen, she is
blind, deaf, has only two teeth (thankfully for JoJo),
and a disposition that I don't often see, except if I
try to clean her butt! JoJo mostly takes heed now!
He's a funny little man who struts like he is on a
fashion runway, growling and trying to attack the
horses, who just snort at the little imp that he is!
He likes long walks around the farm, as long as he's
carried ninety percent of the time so he can survey
his new Kingdom. He doesn't even mind if it's 20
degrees like with the wind howling because he's
bundled up in pj's, sweaters and his sister's pink
blanket (we don't tell her)!
Happy Gotcha Day to
Bradley
by Richard and Mary
Szulewski
 Five years ago on May 11, we
headed to Dreamweaver Farms. When our 17
year-old dog went to the Bridge, we planned
to add an older dog to our family. We were
introduced to quiet Tin Tin, an older mini
that we thought we would adopt. Yet Tin Tin
was glued to Donna's side and would not
budge. Another quiet and very shy toy poodle
was brought in who we never even got out of
the crate.
In the meantime, there was this puppy that
Donna brought in, who simply would not leave
us alone. He was all over Mary, then all
over me and back again. He was seriously
distracting our efforts to find a match with
a quiet older dog that needed a home.
Finally, we just had to pay attention to
this little insistent puppy.
 Well, you all know
that moment when it is clear that a this was
the one. Yes, that moment. Found on the
streets of South Carolina as s stray, this
beautiful boy was amazing and he knew it. He
wanted us. Donna just smiled and Bradley
became part of our family. I admit that we
were concerned. We did not want a puppy. We
had brought 12 toy poodles into this world
over the years so we thought we knew what to
expect. However, Bradley proved to be the
most mature puppy we had ever encountered.
Perhaps it was his time as a stray or his
prior owner.
Bradley was essentially crate and house
trained. He was okay on a leash as well,
though he still can do his sled dog
imitation when excited, like when we take
him to the vet (he LOVES them). He also had
his demons. On the leash, he tended to be
focused on what might be coming up behind
him, though that has faded over the years.
He still runs and hides at loud noises. If,
doing home repairs, I start hammering
something, it can take a while for me to
figure out which hiding place he has tucked
himself into. He preferred hard surfaces to
grass. He ran from everything, even little
frogs.
Yet he has grown into a sweet young man,
quiet but full of fun. He loves to meet
people, even more than dogs. Each evening he
waits by the door for whoever is not home
yet, Mary or me. When we are both home, he
celebrates with us and his toys. Laps are
his favorite places, though sunny spots are
a close second. He needs to be actually
touching one of us most of the time. He is
good around other dogs; he even tolerates
our temporary fosters. But, we are his and
he is ours, and he likes it that way. Happy
Gotcha Day, Bradley.
Feature
Pet of the Month
Meet Kizmo!
 Kizmo is an owner surrender to local
shelter due to eye injury. CPR had said eye removed
due to infection, and now he's even cuter,
healthier, and ready for a forever home
Kizmo is looking for a laid back home and someone
who loves to cuddle on the couch. He REALLY loves to
have his belly rubbed and for his ears to be
scratched. Right now he is currently living in a
foster home with several other dogs and is doing
fine with them, so he could be an only dog or have
some canine siblings. He much prefers small dogs to
big dogs. He ignores cats.
Although shy at first, Kizmo is looking for that
someone or a family to bond with. He wants to be
your best buddy and is a great little companion. He
is a blank canvas and eager to learn more! Kizmo is
silly, playful, and affectionate. Kizmo's favorite
doggie treat is chicken jerky and cheese! He loves
to play with toys and, in his foster home, he is
housetrained.
He doesn't have any special needs other than needing
his ears cleaned on a weekly basis.
If you are interested in Kizmo, please visit our adoption
application page.

Rusty--the Little Red Dog (A
Rescue Tale)
 Rusty--the Little Red Dog is a
wonderful children's book about a Carolina Poodle
Rescue dog, Rusty, that tells his story. It is a great
educational tale about rescues and puppy mills for
young children (and for adults who don't know). All
profits of the sales for this book go to CPR to help
other rescue dogs!
This book would make a
wonderful gift to any young children you know, and
grandchildren and a great donation to your favorite
elementary school, church, hospital, day care, Boy's
Club, Girl's Club or any other organization for
children. Please consider buying several and sharing
them throughout your community. The younger the kids
are when they learn about rescue and puppy mills,
the more progress we can make toward supporting
rescues and stopping puppy mills!
Share the Amazon
link with all your friends and on Nextdoor!
