The conditions are extremely cramped and poor at the moment.
Quick Storyline: (If you are at all interested?)
At their previous place, they had no water or electricity. Their well which provided water broke and the landowner was SUPPOSED to be responsible for fixing it but refused. The owners of the rescue had lived for months without water and had been trucking it in for the animals. They got sick of it, refused to pay the extra $1200 to fix the well on top of rent since that was the landowners job. They were evicted and had to find a place to live in quick. Only 3 days were left by the time they found a place. The landowner had someone at the house while the rescue owners, me and matt got things out of the house, rounded up the dogs and kennels and supplies and such. All was going well until the guy kept flipping on us: "You can't touch the dogs until all the stuff out of the house is gone!" then bout 2 hours later when its PITCH black outside, "You have to get the dogs out before you can get anything else! No kennels, no dog houses, nothing".
On the last day we had everything set up. We had gotten the FEW things they needed out of the house. We had another rescue that was gonna take 7 of the dogs that were left and the rest, one of the owners and I could easily round up. The landowners helper told us, "Why don't you put food in the pump house to trap some of them and get them into the car?"
Course we thought that was a good idea and were glad he was helping. Animal Control had said that this guy though, because they were evicted and he wasn't allowing us 24/7 access to the dogs there, HAD to care for the animals while we were away. meaning he had to feed and water and do all that. He never did. He gave us a small extension since the last day of the "3 days left" thing he couldn't meet with us at the house. Those two days, he didn't feed or water the animals at all. So when we went there with the other guy from another rescue, prepared to get ALL the dogs and ALL the kennels and fencing, we had to feed them to calm them down a bit and grab them. We were working on this when he suddenly started yelling at me and the owner to get off the property. We fought as much as we could saying we were doing as we were told and getting the animals. We could do nothing else that day but get ahold of cops and animal control and see what could be done. Grant it, they never helped for shit. So instead of the 20 - 40 kennels we could've gotten and would have gotten that day, we ended up with a measly FOUR. That's why the conditions are cramped. We can't let the dogs run around cause they're notorious escapers and fight with the other dogs that are now also in kennels. Things are desperate right now though and that's why they're posting on CL asking for help for supplies and why I'm doing this right now. We got screwed over that day and things are STILL being worked out but none the less, we're shit out of luck on space. We aren't getting those kennels back and all we have now are quite a few garage doors that we've been making kennels out of. But those suckers are heavy and takes a long time to build.
Im getting tired of walking outside everyday though and seeing these dogs like this. I try taking them out of the kennels to get their excercise when I can though. But any help you can lend is greatly appreciated. I just want these guys out of these conditions.
It's not my family, but a close knit family run rescue. We had received several HC's from the Idaho/Oregon border and one or two from Washington.
TP Kennels? Tom Evans runs that place, he has 1 mid and 1 high and numerous lows. He use to be pretty selective on who his pups go to and at one point was advertising F1s but someone verified that she was an F3 from a Tenessee breeder. Well bred, but still misrepresented.
We had one of his pups, she had a great temperament though and lives in Canada now.
TP Kennels is it. I was thinking TP Rescue or something.
The owner got 3 pups from them. Yona, a very large white malamute. Claimed to be an Arctic wolf though by them.
She also got Stormy (The one I said is supposedly an F1) and Thunder also supposedly an F1.
Thunder was pretty high content though. She no longer has him though. Stormy, like I said, looks like she could be but her coat is nothing like a wolf's.
The dog I said may be the only true wolfdog there came from Thunder though. Thunder is from a (I think) pure black mother supposedly that 100%. Maybe that's the F3 you're talking bout? I would like to know the content of Stormy and this other dog if there is any content at all =/
Yona looks like the first white dog in that pic. Just much bigger
http://www.tpkennel.com/litter.htmlBelow is a brief summary of our parent Wolves / hybrid wolves.
All of a sudden our "runt" looked like an arctic wolf. Snowhite has an extremely playful personality when interacting withthe other wolves.
How much content is Snowhite? Do you know? If they used her as a breeder its possible that's Yona's mum. All I know is that 3 (now 2) of the dogs that the owner had, were bought from there.
Producing this:
I don't know the parents of Rain but she has something similar to that. But not /that/ pronounced though. But you can definately tell there's something weird with her head. I almost do wonder if she's part of one of his dogs' generations
