Kristin and Karlee of the San Carlos Canine Center with a few of their friends
Sometimes things turn out better than you could ever imagine. I posted on Kristin, owner of San Carlos Canine Center (aka DogDaze) a couple of days ago, with photos of a rescue pup saved from starvation, named Fe (Spanish for faith). Canadians who kept promising for three months to give her a home reneged without notifying Kristin, who then worried that Fe was growing beyond the easily-adoptable cute baby stage. But Fe's before-and-after photos on this blog caught the eye of some dog lovers in Massachusetts, and they emailed me that they'd give her a home if she could get there. I passed their email on to Kristin, thinking at least she'd be encouraged in finding the pup a home. I had my doubts that it would work out, trying to get Fe to Massachusetts, but then I got the good news that the adoption is underway and plans are now being made to fly her to Boston. Having adopted Mexican dogs before, they could be perfect for helping shy little Fe adapt to a new life.Fe isn't a little puppy anymore, but what she's lost in puppyness she's gained in sweet behavior. After I'd been at the Center for a bit, she came over and put her head on my knee, looking up at me. Kristin says she's a specific Mexican breed, called criollolo. She's only five months old but has already gone into heat—the day she was taken in to be neutered, in fact.
Kristin keeps herself busy running the Canine Center, as well as helping with the efforts to restore normal life in the storm-ravaged ejidos near San Carlos. Her daughter Karlee does all the dog grooming, and assistant Juanita, a groomer of humans, holds down the fort at night and bakes the Center's trademark dog cookies. They have a website, which Kristin says she needs to update, but you should check out the video...fun!
