Sunday Dog, Rose– Her Search Is Over!

Sometimes it takes more than one try to get what you really need in life. And sometimes, no matter how much effort you put into the search, there’s has to be a certain amount of luck involved. Just ask Rose!

This gentle two year old Australian Shepherd/Jack Russell Terrier mix has a nose for tracking, especially when it comes to finding a safe and loving home. It was only about a year ago that Rose found a new family with the help of the folks at Save A Dog in Sudbury, MA.

She’s still a little afraid of men, and not fond of loud noises, but is adapting well to her new digs in Quincy. The day we met on the Greenway in Boston (she was playing ambassador for the MSPCA) this adorable little girl warmed-up to us in no time.

But, there’s no doubt that Rose is happiest melting into the arms of her loving person– safe, secure, and by the look in her eyes, exactly where she really wants and needs to be. Nice …

Sunday Dog, Remy– in Search of His Family Tree

Remy is a happy, well-adjusted, 11 month old with a question, “Have you seen my family tree?” Plucked from a New York shelter with the help of PetFinder, this handsome guy is curious about his ancestry.

Some of his friends think he’s a lot like an Australian Shepherd.

Hmmm. Remy does like to play hard, especially when he gets to spend time with his Portuguese Water Dog buddy who lives in Melrose.

Remy Sniffing for Clues

Others are sure they see some Collie in his genes– Bearded Collie? Rough Collie? Maybe, Border Collie?

Remy is very friendly, so the fact that he has a reputation as a "big kisser" won’t surprise you.

Wait, aren’t Bernese Mountain Dogs big kissers? After all, they’re often described as affectionate, loving, and sweet. And, Remy certainly has the same ears and coloring of that breed. But, what about that distinctive tail?

Remy told us he’ll be checking the Comments Section of BostonZest for any ideas you might have about his relatives. What do you think?

Brrrr! It's chilly this weekend, and we're pulling out some jackets for our little Westie, Maggie Mae. We're always amazed by how well her Fido Fleece Dog Coats hold up after winters of washing. Remember, if you're going to shop at Amazon, start from here, and they will reward us with a bit of BostonZest income.

Sunday Dog, Taco – Country Boy Discovers City Life!

For a country boy who’s spent his formative “months” romping in the open spaces of north central Massachusetts, Sunday Dog Taco is learning all about city life. This gorgeous, red merle, Australian Shepherd, originally from Ashburnham (about an hour west of Boston), is a very friendly one year old who loves other dogs.

This Aussie’s stunning coat is only surpassed by those captivating eyes– very useful for a any herding breed.

We met Taco as he was sniffing out the landscape…

A Little Bit of Country Right Here in the Big City!

Getting to know a new place always takes some time and can be a bit lonely in at first. Taco’s person told us that he loves doggy daycare and has met a number of dogs, which has been helpful.

Like most Australian Shepherds, this guy is full of energy and needs a lot of activity and stimulus. He loves to play and is always on the lookout for a new playmate.

Because Aussie’s are very intelligent and learn quickly, it’s no wonder they excel at search & rescue, detection, and as service dogs.

Taco got to know us quickly, letting us photograph him– almost posing at times. He loved getting the attention as much as we loved showering him with it.

We left our Sunday Dog with a goodbye pat as he greeted more new friends. I think our country boy is made for the city.
