Puppies du jour

Hope springs eternal, and so we share the images of yet another batch of puppies temporarily sheltered at the Canine Center, aka Dog Daze, in hopes at least one of them will find a home. It's happened before, when someone in Boston saw a dog named Fe on my blog and fell in love with her. Our Cinderella dog, we call Fe. Another time, someone in the States saw a pup here and sponsored him, helping with vaccinations and food until the dog was placed in a loving home.

The little white female is expected to grow to be a medium-size dog, and she's already being leash-trained. Very bright, say the Dog Daze folks. The brindled black-and-gold pup, also female, has a sweet disposition and should be easy to train. She'll also grow to medium-size. Both are house-trained to the extent that they do their business outside.

I stopped by to photograph them at midday and they were limp with the heat, not their usual perky pup selves. But easier to keep in focus, sprawled on the cool tile floor.

Dog Daze can be reached by phone from the States by calling 011-52-622-226-0926 or on their cell phone at 011-521-622-103-0924.
