Introducing The "A" List Cairns! - Written by a CP Volunteer

These seven cairns were part of 180 dogs confiscated when the State of Kansas shut down a puppy mill for violations. None of these kids are large cairns and most have decently harsh coats which will no doubt improve with proper grooming. They all got baths Saturday morning, but I believe they had also been bathed at the temporary intake shelter as none were truly filthy and I could see where some mats had been cut out. The intake shelter also trimmed their nails a little. Most seem moderately social. We know what ages they are supposed to be, but the ages were not matched to the dog, so we are awaiting some verification and guesstimates when the exams are done. None are overweight and they may be slightly underweight.

Abilene - wheaten female with dark ears

Almena - wheaten female, her tail is very short, whether by accident or design is unknown.

Andover - male wheaten with dark ears

Assaria is the lone dark one. She has the most gorgeous coat. Her tail is also short, but her coat is so lush that it will not be very obvious. She appears to be the largest, but that may again be the coat. She objected the most to her bath, not in fear, but indignity - apparently she has already had her annual bath.

Aubry - reddish wheaten female, she was giving tail wags and kisses by the time her bath was over.

Augusta - red wheaten female with darkish ears

Axtell - male, red wheaten, he has dropped ears and seems to have an ear infection

Please join me in welcoming the “A List” Cairns to the freedom and safety of Col. Potter!
