Profile
- My website or blog:
- http://www.valhallarescue.petfinder.org
- Proud pet parent of:
- Gracie, a nearly 14 year old Great Dane,
Rockstar a 3 year old Great Dane,
Booger, an 8 year old pit bull,
Sui, a 6 year old border/lab mix
Paige, an 11 month old Great Dane
Last but not least......
Cassidy our 8 year old manx cat that thinks she's a Great Dane and often walks around the yard with Gracie, meowing the whole way so Gracie won't get lost.
- How we met:
- All are rescues. My Danes came to me from Dane Outreach, a rescue group here in Washington State that I volunteer for. Booger & Sui were hard to place pets I fostered for PAWS in Lynnwood, WA.
I am also the Director and founder of VALHALLA RESCUE since 1985.
- Pet likes:
- They like my undivided attention, I like their unconditional love.
- Pet dislikes:
- They dislike Baths. I dislike giving them baths.
- Pet’s favorite spot:
- THESE ARE DIRECT QUOTES FROM THEM, (yes they talk to me, don't your's talk to you?)
Gracie says, "Laying in the sun"
Rocky says, "By mama's side"
Sui says, "in the woods with dad"
Booger says, "The little one on my nose that got me my name" (he didn't understand the question I guess).
- Pet’s favorite toy:
- In this Order,
ME
Dad's Feet
Each other
kongs
and towels.
- Pet’s silliest habit:
- Booger is a trained search dog and his favorite thing to search for is mice. He was invaluable when we were remodeling our house. If a field mouse got in, we knew about it from "the Boog".
Paige likes to howl like the coyote's in our area and often sits in the back yard calling them, pretty good for a Dane.
Sui is obnoxious about wanting to play fetch and likes to round up all the toys for us to toss....but I should have figured that she'd be like that, she's a Border Collie, Black Lab cross.
- Pet’s sweetest moments:
- There are too many to mention............................
- I crack up when my pet:
- They Play...Find something new they've never seen before...Roll on their backs and let the lips fall...Dance for joy when I come home.
- My pet is unique because:
- They are mine :-)
PLEASE SPAY OR NEUTER YOUR PET!!!
THIS IS FOR ALL MY CAT LOVING FRIEND AND THE CATS I HAVE LOVED
PLEASE WATCH AND SEND TO YOUR CAT LOVING FRIENDS
I am an Animal Rescuer!
My job is to assist God's creatures. I was born with the need to fulfill their needs. I take in new family members without plan,thought or selection. I have bought dog or cat food with my last dime. I have patted a mangy head with a bare hand. I have hugged someone vicious and afraid.I have fallen in love a thousand times and I have cried into the fur of a lifeless body.
I have Animal Friends and friends who have animal friends.
I don't often use the word "pet."
I notice those lost at the road side and my heart aches.
I will hand raise a field mouse and make friends with a vulture.
I know of no creature unworthy of my time.
I want to live forever if there aren't animals in Heaven,
but I believe there are.
Why would God make something so perfect and leave it behind?
We may be master of the animals, but the animals have mastered themselves...
Something people still haven't learned.
War and Abuse makes me hurt for the world, but a rescue that makes the news...
That gives me hope for mankind.
We are a quiet but determined army,
and making a difference every day.
There is nothing more necessary than warming an orphan,
nothing more rewarding than saving a life;
No higher recognition than watching them thrive.
There is no greater joy than seeing a baby play
who only days ago was too weak to eat.
I am an Animal Rescuer
My work is never done.
My home is never quiet.
My wallet is always empty.
But, my heart is always full.
In the game of life, I have already won.

GRACIE MAE'S LAST SUMMER IS HERE, Will you take this journey with me?
I know I've been saying this for the last 3 years, but I really believe that this is Gracie's last summer with us and I thought I'd start a blog of her days to help me and also to help others coping with deciding when it's the right time to let their companions go.
Gracie, a graceful blue Great Dane came to me 3 1/2 years ago as a rescue from a vet in Eastern Washington. 10 years old, Gracie had been living with the vet and at the clinic since she arrived there almost 3 years prior to th… Continue

GAS PRICES CAUSING RESCUES TO STRUGGLE IN MORE WAYS THAN IMAGINED!
Ok, I'm officially at the end of my rope. Went yesterday to pick up my monthly supply of dog food for the rescue and the price has gone up $5.00 PER BAG!!! Close to a 20% increase and that's with a discount I receive for buying in bulk. Canned foods needed by some also went up .17 cents a can. According to the feed store where I get it, they needed to raise the price due to fuel costs. For a small rescue like me, that's $75-$150 more per month, JUST FOR FOOD!
Last month, the cost of medicines &… Continue

Giant Dogs Group
Hi, Just joined yesterday and started a new group, Giant Dogs. I'm looking for community members who wanna talk about rescue resources, health, care, temperment, or whatever else pertaining to Large and Giant dogs. It's new so this is a great chance to gather a group of people who know about giants and want to be an accurate resource for those who want to know about giants.

You sure seem to know Lenny because he is a big kisser. I got more sloppy kisses than I could count. He really is a sweet boy. I hope he finds a forever home soon!

I just saw the beautiful 3 yrs lab in Helping Animals and I made a commentment to help her, she is so young and frighten in their as they say. I just read the post and it seems that someone is interested in her but they want to know how they can get her from Zanesville,Ohio which she is at in the shelter kennel to Rochester,NY, their seems to be a loving family waiting for her if the lady will can accept her. This is my first time in helping with a rescue I don't know if I did this right but I put a post up in your rescue train.
Can you please help us find a way on how to go about pulling her from the kennel and finding the transportation to NY? Thanks
btw - I love your term "fan-furry-tastic"!!
Glad to add you as a friend! As angels go, I'd have to say you are one of the silver-winged ones. Keep up your good work!
