Malamute or Husky for adoption in MI

**crow_noir** · 04-18-2007, 02:27 AM

Koli recently got invited to her first adoption day meet and greet. The rescue was nice enough to take a photo of Koli for T.A.K.

Sorry that this is her only new photo in months.

I don't know why what last photo is no longer showing up, but it is there. So I'm just going to give you a link to a different page and am going to start hosting the majority over there instead of on her Yahoo page.

That last photo was " A good day to be out."

The newest ones are of her playing with a new friend. He's a 6yr. old Mal. This is at the temp-fosterer's place (who is kind enough to watch her until i'm feeling better.) Lucky gal! He has plans for them almost every single day. I wonder if he knows that some kennels (doggy hotels) charge about $200 per day for the 'services' he does for the dogs in his care? (Not to mention the photos and email updates!) She gets to have all the fun while I'm stuck home in bed. Oh well. It's so nice not having to worry about her while I'm here. (Same person that we were doing the socializing with.)

The other fosterer sent me an update to post online.

"Koli headed for Lansing on May 26. We were intending to introduce her to lots of people at the pet food stores. Koli is such a dandy little girl, everyone liked her and she was so gentle with everyone. The part she liked so much was meeting everyone else's dogs. She is so used to meeting dogs now that she asks them if they want to play. A few months ago Koli would just expect that other dogs wanted to wrestle with her and go at them with lots of energy. Some dogs would tell her that she was rude. All she needed was time with a patient dog to learn better etiquette.

We didn't get to as many stores as we had intended on Saturday. While passing East Lansing we saw lots of people with kids and some with dogs too. It was Odyssey of the Mind day. Koli met so many people and little kids. Some of the kids ran up to Koli excitedly asking if she is a "snow dog". Koli was glad to be so famous even if she wasn't an actor. It sure was nice seeing how grandly she handled the public relations. She did as well as the most skilled professionals.

Koli would have liked to run and play with the dogs she met but she settled for that bit of folly that a dog on leash may have. Koli did her best begging but she only got little bits of the treats some of the people were eating. Everyone who gave her treats was impressed at how exceedingly gently she accepted the tidbit. This little girl walked the MSU campus for more than 2 hours. From start to finish, Koli made us proud.

Koli has been in foster care a long time. If any of you have walked through an animal shelter you know that their are lots of pets that need help. Animal shelters can not keep animals forever. Rescues can only help those pets for whom there is space. Koli needs a home of her own so some other dog can be helped.

Koli is a very nice companion and play mate. (Of course, when children are around her, an adult ought to be supervising. Even as children sometimes play too roughly, so too may Koli get caught up in the excitement. That said, she would feel genuinely bad if she hurt a person). She is a settled little girl and on walks only pulls moderately once in a while. Koli is a very good looking kid and is usually quiet. She has many endearing ways about her. She is a worthwhile dog to get to know."
