April 2026: Little Dempie has been in foster care since January. He was a timid little guy back then but he is doing so much better now and getting more confident everyday. He is even starting to come up for pets and is getting used to being loved on. Because of my dogs he has learned that coming to pet for lov'n is kinda nice. Helping a frightened dog can be very rewarding and I hope I can find someone like me in the Chicago area that has time and patience to help him continue to learn to trust that some folks are nice.

DNA results are in and Arnold and Dempster are 86% Beagle with another 6% Bassett and Labrador. They do have longer bodies like a Bassett Hound but sound all Beagle.

February 2026: I've had Dempie in temp foster care for a few weeks. He's still a bit shy and unsure of me so he would really need a very patient, loving person willing to work with him. Using food has been helpful but he feels most safe when he is around my dogs. He loves to play, so a home with a playful buddy would be ideal. He is mostly housetrained and he feels safe in a cage. We will be DNA testing him soon to see what else is in his mix.

Arnold, Dempster and Queenie as seen in their original Memphis, TN shelter video: https://youtube.com/shorts/FdASOSHTyP4?feature=share were dumped by family members after their owner died. All 3 tested positive for heartworms and all surely have tick borne disease and I can only imagine how bad Queenie's teeth are. They are all now safe in the Chicago area after a transport out of Memphis on 9-26. These 3 dogs have suffered some neglect besides their health care neglect, but with some time and patience they will learn to trust humans. Queenie has moved to her own foster. Arnold and Dempster just need a lot of human interaction and cuddles to help build their confidence. They are great with other dogs so a foster with confident well socialized dogs in the home will help them adjust to kindness. We need some exceptional fosters or foster to adopt homes that will help with their heartworm slow kill treatment plan.
