The above picture represents two of Paul Glatzer's now long ago efforts, and a recent permanent house guest who is a the result of the local Corgi rescue effort .

Paul  and Ann Witte.arranged to have Spunky (male,b/w) shipped to me in Virginia from Nebraska about 13 yrs ago (1987). Spunky is now about 14yrs+ and although almost deaf and having macular degeneration, still acts like a most lovable puppy with tail constantly wagging!

Paul and Mikki Saar arranged for me to have Maggie (f,fawn)  who was rescued  in Maryland about 8yrs ago and is now 9+years. She now lives the life of a Princess with 2 gentlemen-dog admirers(of course neutered)!, and me! ( a gentleman-human, of course non-neutered) 

Both Spunky and Maggie moved with me by car across the USA about 6 years ago. and this , Las Vegas, Nevada. is our home now. As I said, Corgi joined us about 2yrs ago and has become Spunky's "seeing and hearing" dog as he barks in his face to let him know what is going on. Surprisingly, Spunky jumps up from a deep sleep, immediately starts barking as well and runs to the front window or door as Corgi directs! My thanks again to Paul Glazer and all the others in Beardie Rescue for this
"wonderful family" which I  continue to enjoy..
Sincerely,

Rosie and her Puppies (Chicago and Wisconsin)

Early in June 2000, BCCA recue recieved a call from the Chicago area.  There was an adult femalein a shelter. Judy Dorman

went   to the shelter the next day - and mom had delivered puppies!

Mom and puppies were taken to Cyndie Reinheimer in Wisconsin (Region Coordinator) where they were taken care of until ready to be placed.

Paul Glatzer put the call out to other rescue coordinators nearby to send applicants to Cyndie. And the BCCA posted the photos and story here on the web site.  The response was great. As of August 5 all have been placed with new families, including mom "Rosie"

Ronja

Update July 2004. Ronja was loved by her family and now sadly missed as she passed away from inoperable cancer. It was very aggressive and quickly grew in her nose and sinuses.  She kept her sweet disposition and smiled throughout.  She was only 10.5 years old. She had several good love filled years with Missy and her family.

Ronja orginally belonged to a loving family; however, the family had to move to Finland.  They were not allowed to take Ronja unless she went into quarantine.  They did not think it was fair to subject her to that, so they left her with the mother's parents who already had at least one other dog. The parents were moving into a smaller house and just couldn't take care of all the dogs. They also knew that Ronja missed having children to play with.That's when they called Rosie Schroeder to see if we could find her a home.  Glenn Short (Regional Coordinator) sent Rosie the name of  Micheline (Missy) and her family, who had been waiting for a rescue and seemed to be a perfect fit.

Rosie picked Ronja up in the middle of a Bob Evans parking lot in Cincinnati in a terrible storm.  It was raining very hard, and she felt so sorry for the lady who was giving her up.  She was crying and very sad, but because of the rain, it was difficult to say goodbye.

Rosie's husband, Walt, and Rosie met Ronja's new family in Indianapolis.  They were lovely.  The whole family, Missy, her husband, and her three children came to get Ronja.  Benny stayed home to get his hair done!  The children were extremely polite and very gentle and loving with Ronja.  She was a little scared at first, but she has settled into her new home like a champion!

Missy wrote: Ronja is doing very well.  She is very strong, healthy, a good eater, a good sleeper, and loves to run full speed through the yard.  She is very
possessive with her chew bones. She is definately the boss over Benny who is now 16 months.  It took about 2 weeks for the two of them to bond.  Benny just wanted to play, and Ronja wanted to be sure that she was going to be the boss. 

She showed Benny her teeth and growled at him several times for the first few days, then it decreased gradually, so now Ronja only reprimands him on occasion.  Benny doesn't care who is boss, he is very laid back.  They are cute together.  Ronja is very loving and cuddly with the kids, and especially my husband.  She minds pretty well, and was obviously loved at her preious home.  We kept the name, Ronja, because it fits her.  We are so lucky to have her.
