February 2019 blue river update from Jenny Julian
Happy Adoption Blue River! You found as loving a set of parents as we all have wanted for you. Thank you Erin O'Kane and John Holder for giving this boy the forever love and care that he has always deserved.
Very special thanks to: Val of Second Chance Companions.
To Madii Mullican and Melanie Belisle who always do the right thing for dogs even when it's far less than easy!
To Lynn Harty for your ongoing Blue River communication, support and wisdom over many months!
To Jim Jones, for all of your support, kindness, great help and for meeting up and giving us your thoughts on Blue.
Thank you to Pam Herranz for accepting Blue River into West Coast Bloodhound Rescue, Inc. Thank you Michele Swartz, for your great advice and to Deb Thomas-Blake for your help.
Thank you Barbara Rubenstein Acee and Kimber Hysell for being his home finding and supportive and loving aunties the whole time we've known this boy.
And thank you to Dave Zentzis, for always supporting my sometimes other planetary fostering ideas , for keeping our home and Blue River sane by taking him on endless marathon walks, chasing him all over Thousand Acres, and tiring him out with backyard play sessions.
Only because of the efforts of each of you, Blue River is finally a boy with a fantastic forever family. It takes a village.

Hi Bloodhound folks!
I am a dog rescue volunteer of over 20 years. I have fostered over 100 dogs, and have volunteered in several capacities with rescues. I was recently on AM NW to talk about lost dogs.
I am writing to you in hopes that you may be able to help us with a super great Bloodhound Mix named Blue River. He is two years old, and looks much more Bloodhound than Coonhound. He is handsome, as his photos will show, cuddly, playful, and has no behavioral issues.
He has just had the misfortune of being passed from home to home by folks who had no knowledge of his breed. He has had at least three homes that I know of, and is currently in foster care with two women who say he is a great dog and gets along well with their three other dogs. However, his fosters are leaving the country on vacation on February 13. He is currently in the Battleground, WA area..
He does have a history of chasing a house cat. And he has a minor birth defect that causes his right front leg to turn out slightly. It has been x-rayed and the vet says it is fine. He would come with those records. He is neutered, up-to-date on shots, microchipped and otherwise, ship shape. He just needs a Bloodhound savvy home!
I believe that they would be happy for any assistance you might be able to provide. I would appreciate any ideas, help, advertising or outreach you might offer, and am happy to help in any way I can.
all the best,
Jenny Julian

In October 2018, PRBC members had the good fortune to meet Good Samaritan Josh Pfenning, who lives in the Tri-Cities. Josh, owner of five-year-old bloodhound Beaumont, took in a stray bloodhound. Here is the dog’s story from Josh:
“[From his microchip] we were able to track down his owner, who didn’t want him back, he turned him loose over the weekend when he left for California. Thank goodness some friends of ours found him and called us knowing we already have a bloodhound. He is a very sweet boy, 6 years old, seems in good health and has been well cared for up until recently. What we know is the guy who dumped him adopted him from a shelter back on September 4th. I’m not able to keep him (we’re calling him Winslow) long-term as I’m in the process of moving and two bloodhounds are too much to manage. Anyway, hoping we can find a new forever home for this sweet boy and wondering if you might be able to help?”
Fast forward to a new forever home for Winslow with Alex Devilbiss, owner of the late, great Clark of Kent. Alex found that his new companion, understandably, was unresponsive to the name Winslow, so Alex, ever creative, began saying every name that came into his head to the dog. Which name did the bloodhound respond to? Steve! We are so pleased to tell you that Steve has settled right into his new home and new life with Alex. And huge kudos go to Josh Pfenning for helping out with this boy in need.
