KEVIN IS READY FOR HIS NEW HOME!
Kevin is a super sweet 2 year old boy (he will mature at approx 3) Though he's grown up on a chain, and needs more work with recall, he is fun loving, playful and oh so super cute! Has been great with Stella (after he got over being afraid of her (hahaha) and with children as well. He has got lots of energy, so he needs a family that enjoys an active lifestyle. Loves to run alongside the quad and I've taught him to run alongside the bike on a retractable leash as well....and he LOVES it. If you're interested, but know nothing about this breed, please I encourage you to do some research on the breed first. Kevin will only go to an appropriate home. His adoption fee is $400. (Just to help recover some of the neutering fees)
OUR NEWEST RESCUE!
MEET KEVIN!
Off to the vet next week for a check up and neuter.
Golden Retriever is almost 2 and has spent his entire life on a chain. He's got ALOT to learn and he's doing it FAST!
He's a GREAT, loving fella who won't ever be left on a chain again! Not ready for adoption, but if you're interested in adding this sweetheart to your family, let us know!

A very happy Stella getting petted by children!!
Our beautiful boy passed away. There's really no words.
There will NEVER be another Dekker.

VIVIAN enjoys going along for jogs, bike rides and roller blading.
She also loves catching frisbees....
which really appeals to her hunting traits.
She has also been treadmill trained...for those winter months.
She is HIGHLY food motivated...lol....
DON'T leave a steak on your counter to thaw!
She is not a puppy anymore, so is content to lay around in the house, and she WILL bark when someone comes to the door,
rings doorbell (unless she is in her kennel, then she is quiet)
She is non shedding, hypoallergenic, unless you are well versed in dog grooming, Vivian does need professional grooming/haircuts.
(high end professional grooming kit
is available if you're a "do it yourselfer" )
Yesterday, June 14th, 2017, we said goodbye to our sweet companion.

A short, but GREAT story!
Marley has been adopted!
A super story of a meant-to-be !!!
WHAT'S NEW IN 2017 ?
MEET MARLEY!! OUR NEW FOSTER GIRL :)
Contact us for more information on this fox like beauty!
Marley is a loving, non-aggressive dog looking for her forever home.
She loves other dogs and children friendly too
(note...likes kittens too much!! and likes to chase ducks...was chasing chickens too...though she got over that!
So a home with no farm birds is best.
She is extremely smart, and not a runner.
If you're a forever home, and you're interested in Marley...
please contact us or see more on her at
Steinbach and Area Animal Rescue.
HOPE YOU ALL HAD A GREAT SUMMER!!!
Our boy enjoying the Dog Dayz of summer :)

For years, I did woodworking as a hobby. I built various pieces of furniture for our home as well as for our friends and family.
Then in 2013 after leaving a 24-year career in advertising, I decided to make the transition from hobbyist and part-time pro, to full time woodworker.
My primary interest and focus at present is tables. Rustic styles are my favorite. I build each piece with only a plan in my head. So each table is slightly different from the next. Each table leg is turned individually, without the use of duplicating equipment.
If you are looking for a table that will quickly become a family heirloom, then you have come to the right site! Or perhaps you're just looking for a dog? :) You've still come to the right site!
For those of you following our girl's story.....
This is her in her new home...with her own family!
CONGRATULATIONS BLACK!!

(And doing fantastic I might add)
She has learned to stop jumping , and is learning wait....and sit. As soon as the ice isn't a factor, we will put on a leash and try to train her to be a great walking/jogging companion. Black is very intelligent and eager to please. Loves affection, gets along GREAT with Dekker, and is absolutely gorgeous. If you are a committed Black Lab fan....maybe Black is your gal :)
Hope to get some good photos soon...but for now...

Jazz joinS M.A.D.D.
While running Dekker back in November, a local dog came running out onto the road, and bit our boy while he ran .Dekker never even slowed his run, so we had no idea until we were back home how serious the bite actually was. The following day he had surgery, and got a drain tube and stitches and some antibiotics.
PLEASE!!! BE A RESPONSIBLE DOG OWNER!! You are responsible to keep your dog on your property. They, or others, could get hurt.
Piper is our summertime guest! Her family will soon return to bring her to their new home! She pulls at my heart strings...as she SO reminds me of our Abby! - September has come, school is back in, and Piper has gone back home to live with her family!! Goodbye Piper :) Enjoy your new home!
Dekker, has LOVED having Piper for company! Nothing like having someone to race for the ball :)
Our blind little Jazzygirl...could care less about chasing the ball! She just LOVES to eat!!
Abby passed peacefully in November of this year, 2014.

January 16th, 2014.....I was helping my
wife, June get studio equipment to a residence out in the country, when
we happened to see five pups, fat, shiny and black on the road. Didn't
take long and they were at the house, on the yard, where we were doing
the shoot. After the shoot, and upon further inquiry, we found that the
pups were "leftovers" and going to be destroyed on the 18th, Saturday.
Long story short, we picked up the four remaining pups on Friday! Two
were adopted right away, and the other two are now in foster. If you're
looking for a Black Lab cross Rottweiler....female....there's two to
choose from!!
ALL PUPS HAVE BEEN ADOPTED!!! YAY!!
