The Gang's (almost) all here

Most of the Dome Rock Pack arrived in Quartzsite, Arizona in early January.

Stumpy was late to the party, but it was still going strong when we arrived. And yes, we did kidnap Fenway.

Homer's here!
;

And Stella

The Dome Rock Pack would not be complete without Rain!

Tony arrived full of love and kisses for everyone!

And Mia is here, too.

Tori arrived safely

And Ishe, too!

Stetson was here, but left before we arrived.
Dina left early, too. But we hope to catch up with her in New Mexico.

We missed one pack member in particular, though.
Matriarch, Kelly, is running on the other side of the bridge. No doubt bossing everyone around and keeping everyone in line.
The Dome Rock Pack missed you!

Next up, the NEWBIES! And there were LOTS of them!

•I pledge to provide my dog with enough training and/or behavioral management so as to enable him to be a welcome part of my community, or managed safely

•I pledge to provide my dog ample outlets for his instincts (such as off territory leash walks/running, opportunities to sniff and explore the natural world, agility training, trick training, fun and rewarding obedience training, play with other dogs, etc.), so that he does not feel constantly frustrated, or develop behavioral problems because he is neglected or under stimulated

•I pledge to provide a home in which my dog clearly knows there are certain rules to which I will insist on and he can count on

•I will seek professional help to get my dog to be quiet, or keep him quiet both when I am home and away, so as not to disturb my neighbors

•I pledge to "scoop poop" from my dog when off my property, so that my dog and other dogs will always be welcome in public

•I pledge that if I have to move residences for any reason, I am aware that finding housing that accepts pets can take longer than average, but that I will commit to moving with my dog, as I would move with a member of my family

•I pledge that if, for any reason, I can no longer keep this dog, I will not abandon this dog, and

•I will return the dog to the shelter (if required) or leave ample time to find a new, appropriate home, tell the new owners truthfully all the dog's behaviors, good and bad, and follow up occasionally to make sure the dog is safe and content
