Yes there are--Deuce and Sundin. I'll add them tonight!

15 of them are former shelter dogs. We used to foster a lot of long term shelter residents who ended up becoming permanent additions. Most of them had been at the shelter for at least a year. Goldie was there for over two years!

Of the other 8, Muskwa and Earle are the only two who aren't rescues/re-homes of some sort. I stole Bandit from an old neighbor. Sundin, Paxil, Pingo, Hobo, and Sleet all came from other mushers who didn't want them anymore.

Okay, thanks for answering! Goldie is a lucky that you decided to foster her, that is a really long time to be in a shelter

I can't wait for the next round of pics

It is a very long time and it's had some impacts on Goldie. She's more than a little neurotic--won't walk on a leash, only goes out certain gates, runs a pattern around her pen, and no way, no how is she ever getting caught inside a building again. She hates coming inside; acts like I'm going to torture her if she comes in the door! Some of the other dogs had similar issues. Raven was in the shelter for a year. She paced in a square exactly the size of her kennel for months. She still does when she is stressed or nervous. Founder wouldn't come inside at all for over a year. Now he sleeps in the porch, but he keeps a clear path between him and the door at all times. He doesn't want to get trapped inside.
