STONEWALL COMES TO CP!

Written by CP's VP of Intakes

Last week I was contacted by a miller in Missouri that we have received quite a few Cairns from over the years. She had two Cairns, a male she was done breeding and a younger female that had skin problems that she wanted to release to rescue. I made all of the arrangements to get them picked up and the reservations for the boarding and vetting. BUT, something kept telling me she was waffling on the female and I just had a feeling she would back out of releasing her. Saturday morning came, and about an hour before they were to be picked up, sure enough, she backed out of releasing the female saying she had given her a bath and her skin looked so much better. I politely told her how happy I was to hear that and that whenever she was ready to release her or any other Cairns, she knew where I was and we would be happy to help. And so it goes "Dancing with the Devil" ...

While the little female didn't make it out this time, the male did! Please help me welcome Stonewall. The picture she originally sent me showed a very handsome black brindle boy with a gorgeous coat. What we picked up was a very handsome black brindle boy with a shaved coat ... The miller's answer to cleaning a dog up ... shave them down. Stonewall will be turning 7 years old on July 26.

Stonewall is a donated name at the request of Carolynne McComb as a birthday gift from her boss. Just a reminder this SUNDAY IS FATHER'S DAY ... what better gift for the dad that has everything but loves dogs than to click this link to donate to name a Puppy Mill Kid after dad or something he loves; or what a wonderful way to remember your dad who is no longer with you. This is truly the gift that gives back and won't be hung in the back of the closet like last year's tie ...

Stonewall, it's wonderful to have you in the CP family ... and we'll keep trying for the little female that didn't make it out this time ...
