Rescue Dogs for Adoption

Hello. My name is Tam. I live in Orange County, and I rescue dogs. This is my blog on my rescue dogs. They are looking for new homes. If you know anybody who is looking for a dog, please let them know about my blog. You can e-mail my posts to your friends by clicking an e-mail icon below each post. Please spread the word about rescued animals. Pets are always available for adoption at local animal shelters, too. Please always think about adopting first when you look for a pet.

Anko - Female German Shepherd Mix - 7 months old


Anko is about 7 months old. She came from the same house where Millaii was.
Millaii and Anko are adopted/ sisters. Millaii plays more of a mom's role to Anko than a sister's though.

Anko is also sweet and affectionate, but in a more reserved way than Milllaii.
Anko is always at the back of the line when she waits for a treat with the other dogs, or when she is called, she hesitates a little bit before she comes running. She is dying for love though. She is always watching me and follows me everywhere while keeping a modest distance behind me. 



Anko had never been walked before she came to me. She was confined in the backyard of her former owner all her life, with the other dogs he kept there.
I started walking them as soon as I got them. Both Anko and Millaii liked walking very much right from the beginning.
They tried hard just to keep up with me walking - they didn't stop, sniff or even look around, they just kept walking. They were so cute!

Anko is also extremely cat friendly. I have two cats, Maj and Toby.
Toby is a fearless one who grew up with Ginger, and he plays with Anko and Millaii too. Maj is a much older unfriendly cat and she doesn't like anybody. Anko leaves Maj alone when she growls at her. Anko simply backs away quietly.

Anko was first very scared of my children, 7 & 5 year-old boys. She was sensitive with the sounds they made and sometimes was bothered by them. But she got used to them during this month, and she is perfectly fine with them now.



Anko is a medium size female and weighs about 40 lbs.
I got her shots so she is up-to-date with them.
Anko went into heat around 9/17. So the whole cycle should be over around mid December, I guess.
Obviously she is not fixed yet.
I was originally going to spay her in October but because she is in heat I have postponed it until probably mid-late November, to be on the safe side.

Anko is current with her shots.
She will be spayed sometime in November.

Please e-mail me if you are interested in Millaii, or have questions, or if you know of anybody who may be interested in her.

You can foster her for a few days to see if she is a good fit for your family. I will always take her back if you decided she is not the right pet for you.
