Dog of the Day: SPOT!

Hello there!
My name is Spot! I am a young, male, Collie X Greyhound (Lurcher)!


I originally lived in India, on my own trying to find my way! Thank doG I was rescued by really nice people and sent to live with Yvette and Dave and all the other dogs from Turtle Gardens! I met them in May of this year, and man, am I glad I found them!
Now I get lots of food and love and dogs to play with! They taught me how to be a dog again and I am so grateful for it! And I surprised Mama Yvette with how affectionate I was even after being alone!

I am very affectionate and gentle! I love people and dogs too.
I am very eager to please and am very smart! So smart that I know how to unlock latches!
I am also very friendly - Can I be your friend?

I am looking for my forever home, where I can be loved and go on nice walks and learn some fun tricks! And in return I will love you and be your best friend forever!


If you think I might be a good fit as your best friend please send an application in to Turtle Gardens using the link in the sidebar!

The near future...

Well the semi-final round is over and they will announce the top 10 in our budget category on December 17th! So we will wait and see what that says!

Also, the TG dog run is coming up this weekend and although I work and will not be able to attend I am very excited to see all these great dogs go into wonderful foster homes!

Also in other "future" news... As some of you may know I make braided fabric toys for dogs, as well as tennis ball throw toys (tennis balls with rope). I usually keep these at home to sell at fundraisers and expos etc, but I realize they are just sitting there when there aren't any events, and not many people know about them, so I thought why not knock two birds with one stone! :)

What I plan to do over the next week (once my finals are done) is post these for purchase online! The money will go straight to TG! This way we can give our dogs a neat christmas gift and also, all the money raised will be a great Christmas present for the TG dogs too! :)

I also make some other items, such as kurranda beds (originally made for our rescue dog, but turns out my foster dogs and foster cats love it too!), homemade meat-free/wheat-free dog treats, dog agility jumps, and am soon going to start making stuffing-less toys too (once my sewing machine works again!).

I might add those as request-able items in the future.

I will add some pictures over the next few days so you can get a better idea of what I'm talking about!

In the meantime please keep voting for Turtle Gardens Spay Neuter Society in the Shelter Challange!

Will post more soon!

P.s. Let me know what you think of the "Christmas Theme" ;)

We can keep voting for TG for sure! But we will also have extra votes! Please use them to vote for VOKRA!

They to TNR (Trap Neuter Release) programs, and try to rehome all the adoptable cats they can! Obviously that is a big job! They need all the help they can get! AND they are in 12th place!!!
If we help them they can get into the top 10!! THey only need approx 200 more votes/day to be in!
