Keeshond Fanciers
Rescue

Sometimes dogs come into our program and because they are too old or too sick, they never find their forever home.

They become permanent foster dogs, loved by their foster family but not able to be loved by a family that will pick them.

We want to share some of these dogs with you to show that even though they are not able to be placed outside of the rescue club, they are special and deserve their story being told. Here are the dogs that we have as permanent foster furkids.

We would willingly accept contributions to their care if you would like to sponsor one for any occaision.

Thank you!

At age 15, Keesha (a female Keeshond mix) was offered for sale on Petfinder. Keesha's owner was moving in with her daughter, who had other dogs. It was thought that Keesha would not fare well in the new environment. PPKF contacted Keesha's owner, who agreed to hand her over to rescue. A PPKF volunteer drove to Montana to pick up Keesha and bring her home to Colorado and her new life.

Keesha is a darling girl: good-natured, affectionate and playful. Her looks are striking! She has all of the characteristics of a Keeshond (including ears, coat and tail)...except that she is orange! PPKF members Lonnie and Carol joke that a collie must have jumped the fence a few generations back. Certainly she is a very cute girl with an endearing personality and a classic keesie grin.

Five PPKF members volunteered to foster Keesha, but Cindy C. prevailed. Keesha now spends her days playing with Cindy's two furkids Haley (15) and Sky (8). Having spent 90 percent of her time outdoors, Keesha is learning to be an indoor dog at age 15. Walking on a leash is also a fairly new experience and one of Keesha's favorite activities. An initial checkup indicates that Keesha is generally in good health; she has the energy and appearance of a much younger dog. With luck, Keesha will be a cherished member of her new family for many years to come.
