16 is not even close...welcome to Heaven's Gate Senior Pet Sanctuary...all of the dogs that come to live with me have been deemed unadoptable and come to me through a network of shelters that I work with...many of them are seniors, other have medical problems, and some have behavioral issues that kept them from being able to be placed...we're one big happy family...there are chis, yorkies, min pins, beagles, terriers, labs, and lots of "designer crosses" like Shihthuahuas...you name it and we have probably had one here...I have everyone diapered because with a crew this large, there is always the likelihood of an accident and then everyone else wants to add their mark to it! Surprisingly, most of them are very good about pottying outside and I don't have to change the pads in their diapers very often...others, well, I change them pretty frequently! All of the dogs that live here were facing euthanasia...coming to me was their last resort and it's a heartbreaking thought because they are the greatest group of dogs...it's amazing what a little love and patience can do
...
PS-the little white & brown chi is the latest addition...that's why he still has his manhood...he will be losing it very soon...everyone is spayed or neutered, fully vaccinated, kept groomed and current on hw preventative & flea/tick repellent...nail trimming takes me a full day! My vet reserves whole days for me and me alone...
