10 Reasons to Adopt/Love Strelka




1.  She rides great in a car.  She lays in the backseat, patiently, until you arrive at your intended destination.

2.  She is loyal and attentive.  Once she bonds with you, which does not take long at all, she wants to sit or lay right beside you while you type, talk to a friend, or read a book.  She never butts in--unless you ask her to!

3.  She is not loud.  She will bark if she needs to.  She will let you know a stranger is walking up to your porch, but overall she is a very quiet girl that does not whimper or throw temper tantrums.

4.  She has long legs and a goofy gait.  She is so much fun to watch, as she clumsily saunters down the street on a walk.

5.  She has a great appetite and is very food motivated.  This makes training easier!



6.  In that same vein, she is very intelligent and responds quickly to learning new things.

7.  She is easy to bathe.  I am not saying she loves it, but she stands still and endures it with grace.  You won't need to visit the chiropractor every time she gets a little muddy at the park.  You know what I'm sayin'?

8.  She smiles!  Not all dogs do this.  She makes a funny face, with her lips pulled back, as she tilts her head side to side and wags her body.  She only does this when she gets very excited.

9.  She is gorgeous.  She is lean and her coat is shiney.  She has long legs, a trim waistline, and love-me-now eyes, which are hard to resist.

10.  She loves playing with other animals.  I have seen her bound around with the best of them and then leave tired, ready for a long nap.

There are so many good reasons that Strelka should have a loving, permanent home.  There are so many good reasons she should never have to see the inside of a Shelter.  This girl is going to make someone very happy.  She is so committed to me after such a short time.  I cannot imagine how bonded she will become with the person that actually adopts her.

One Month

It has been a little over a month since I found Strelka and Belka in my driveway.  Unfortunately, Strelka still does not have a loving family.  She is still waiting on the person who will take her in, give her security, toss her a toy from time to time.  She has so much to offer.  Lifetime loyalty and friendship being at the top of the list.

Please consider helping me by hanging up a new flyer in independent pet stores, coffee shops, bars, dog parks, anywhere you can think of.  Of course, ask permission.  We really need to get this girl settled and the best way to do that is to spread her name far and wide.  Please help!  It will take a lot of people to save this dogs life, but I know we can do it together.

Please e-mail me at mckelvey.laura731@gmail, and I will e-mail you the PDF or I can print it up and give it/send it to you.

A Visit With Strelka

I went to Strelka's foster home for a visit yesterday.  She was so happy.  She would even "smile" in the beginning, when she was really excited.  We took her out to play with three other dogs.  She had a blast romping around and wrestling with dogs much larger than herself.  She is still so small!





Strelka was soon exhausted so her and Brady went back home to watch movies and receive lots of petting and attention.  She was completely chill and relaxed, just happy to be livin' her life.  She is really a very easygoing pup and someone is going to be very lucky to bring this girl into their family.

Strelka is Making New Friends Every Day

Strelka is approaching a new horse at the farm with curiosity.  She has met all types of animals now!  The world is so exciting.  She would love to have a family to share it all with.

Strelka is lucky to have two wonderful women helping to raise her up right.  Here she is learning how to get a human to give her a treat with her mentor and fellow pit bull, Brady.
Strelka sits and the treat comes!

Strelka has learned a lot in a few short weeks, and she has met a lot of new friends.  The only thing she is missing now is a loving and permanent family.  Do you have some room in your home for this sweet girl?  Just a few weeks ago, she could barely move from exhaustion and starvation and now she is healthy, happy, and in love with life!  It makes me feel inspired!
