hunting block

The last couple of days I have been working in a different section, namely Hunting block. Originally named like that because the hunting dogs were kept in there. Often hunters would steal dogs from the shelter so they built a section where you can't see the dogs from the outside.

There are lots of puppies in there now which means lots of poo in the morning, yuck!!  3 puppies I took care of in quarantine just moved there. They have been placed with a very difficult adult dog, Tango. He is very timid and can't seem to get along with adult dogs. We call him uncle Tango, :).

Yesterday we replaced all the toys which seem to make all the dogs quite happy. It made for excellent pictures! Some of them got jealous and started growling while defending their toys.

Yesterday one of the Dutch girls went back home yesterday. I really liked her. She adopted a little dog, Orion. He is 6 months and tiny. But he is very tough and not easily scared. When his group has to go back into their kennel we have a problem. A lot of dogs run back to their kennel by themselves and some of them are a bit harder and have to be picked up. Orion is almost impossible to catch. It's like a game to him. We have tried to lure him with sausages and stuff, he doesn´t fall for that anymore. We have to corner him, so it usually takes a while. But other than that, he is adorable.
