It was a pure coincidence that 2 BT’s were runner ups in the Wild Dingo Big News contest. And since Dozer and Dotti haven’t sent me a photo of their derriere for their jodhpur fittings, I had to go ahead and ship the custom made jodhpurs for Hubbles (who’s alias is Bougalou Bear) and Mack [...]
Macy was found as a puppy by a rescuer at a gas station one day. Nobody knew how she got there or who owned her, but they knew she’d been living htere for a few days. The gas station owner didn’t like workers feeding her, so the rescuer took Macy to a vet and gave [...]
Kelly needs a home. Bad. And of all the stories I’ve read lately this one reached out to me, so I’m posting it for my rescue story this week. And yes, I know there are many sad stories here of dogs in the United States. But we know better (at least our laws say we [...]
Locke found a foster and possibly an adopting family! Wild Dingo is thrilled. Sugar’s mom, Crazy Lady, looked into fostering him, but he was already in route to fostering and adopting. Apparently the word “sucker” is written all over Crazy Lady so instead she got to foster this little guy to the right, Willy. Oh my, what a [...]
Ok, I usually don’t do advertise too much specific rescues on my site, but when I saw this, I had to post it. This is Locke, a Formosan/Kelpie mix up for adoption on the AHAN Web site. Currently, Locke is in Taiwan. Yes, I know there are tons of dogs in the states that need [...]
Wild Dingo received a voice mail message from a person asking if I had any available Formosan dogs or where to get them. If only I had the answer. Formosan dogs seem to be replacing Pit Bulls and Chihuahuas as ‘the cool breed to own.’ And as much as I love this breed, I caution, [...]
In 1866, Henry Bergh, New York aristocrat, witnessed a cart horse being abused by its owner. At a town hall meeting in New York, Berh pleaded on behalf of “these mute servants of mankind” and impressed attendees with a story of a family delightfully watching a bullfight which ended in a brutal stabbing of the [...]
A few people have asked me why I have a dog like Loki (that’s him to the right as an older puppy rescued last year before coming to his final home here). Meaning: why I chose a behaviorally-challenged dog (to put it politely). People who meet him sometimes misunderstand him. He’s a talker and has a [...]
Last Sunday, I broke down and got him his own dog. Not for Mr. Wild Dingo but for Loki. Just so I’d have a few free moments to myself instead of playing tug with him 24/7. Husky owner, Jim (owner of Loki’s favorite chew toy Vushkey) planted a little seed in my ear “Come by the adoption [...]
It’s no secret that I like all animals, specifically dogs. I like all breeds of dogs: big, small, smart, not-so-smart, silly, dignified, long hair, short hair. But I go ga-ga for small dogs: Shitzu’s, terriers, Pomeranians, Maltese and Benji-like mutts. Something about them tugs at my heart strings. Scott doesn’t prefer smaller breeds so we [...]
In an effort to restore canine balance to Wild Dingo’s staff, I’ve been busy interviewing and searching for just the right fit into this dysfunctional organization I call a business. The search was difficult, as the talent pool is saturated with an abundance of heartwarming quadrupeds that all deserve much better than the histories they [...]
