Update 6/16 - Khari is coming along nicely.  She is learning how to function in a pack. She does, however, need to learn some manners. We are working on that with her. Part of that is learning how to walk on a Gentle Leader. Now that she is feeling better, she is getting a little bossy.  She is unsure of herself and of those around her. Socialization, positive reinforcement, and continued exposure to other dogs and people should help her through her adjustment phase. Khari does have requirements for adoption:

* Fenced yard
* No children under 10
* Another dog in the home
* Khari will only be placed in Maine or New Hampshire

Update 5/16: We are very pleased with Kohl.  He has done so well post GBI (gold bead implant).  He is great and holding his own, moving well and just so "simply happy".  He has moments when he prances and gets so excited over his toys, especially the squeaky ones.  Even his hair is growing in quickly.  He totally enjoys human companionship and also being "part of the pack".  He will make someone a wonderful canine friend, someone who will understand that he is indeed "special". He does LOVE to walk. Most likely his slight awkwardness will remain "his norm", but we honestly don't know a sweeter nor more gentle soul.

Update 5/1: Kohl had his Gold Bead Implants and is doing well. It's still very early and we are hopeful that over the next few weeks he will continue to show improvement and be ready for his forever home. 

Delightfully sweet and gentle, our Mr. Kohl is making slow and steady progress through the holistic choice of treatment. The initially noted muscle "weakness" and instability is improving with the weekly acupuncture, fresh cooked food diet additions and Chinese herb supplements. Whereas before, walking brought on a stiffness and discomfort, he now totally enjoys mild exercise and returns home to a peaceful snooze.  His forays out into the backyard and interactions with other pack members appeared somewhat guarded/hesitant the first weeks of his stay.
