Happy Holidays!

Our food drive was a huge success for the Multnomah County Animal Shelter!  Thanks to everyone who donated!! 

Tomorrow will be our last day of daycare until 2012.  We wish everyone a great holiday and the happiest of new years! 

From the no bonz crew and our dogs, to you and yours... Happy Holidays, see you in 2012!!!

Black Dog Syndrome

Have you heard of Black Dog Syndrome?  It's the sad and unfortunate fact that black dogs are usually the last to be adopted at a shelter, and are often euthanized first.  There are entire websites dedicated to promoting black dogs and keeping the public informed about this issue.  If you want to read more, we recommend this article from Bark Magazine or this article from Oregon Live. 

Here at no bonz about it we have tons of lucky black dogs!  The untrained eye might think they all look the same, but not to us.  We thought it might be fun to see if you can find your black dog when faced with many many others...  (We apologize if your black dog didn't make it into the collage- we are only using dogs that visited no bonz on Thursday or Friday of this week)

So here are our Friday Photo Collages, a tribute to the black dogs in shelters all over the world...

Can you find your dog?!!  Feel free to give it your best guess and leave in a note in the comments or Facebook!

In other news, our food drive has been extended through Wednesday December 21st due to you guys being amazingly generous!!!  Three full loads brought over already, with plenty more to go... Thank you!!!!

Pet Food Drive!

Our food drive to benefit the Multnomah County Animal Shelter is coming to a close on Friday at noon.  We have already taken a more-than-full load to the shelter and we have another one shipping out tonight!

You guys are truly the best!  Special thanks to everyone that has donated as well as Camilla of Ain't Misbehaving for picking up and delivering our donations!

Friday photo collage numero uno!

We sure do take a lot of photos here at no bonz, and there are always too many to print out, so we are going to share with you some of our extras every week!

Don't forget that there is one more week in our food drive for the Multnomah County Animal Shelter!  Help us help the WAY less fortunate dogs and cats out there with canned or dry dog/cat food, dog/cat treats, clean blankets & towels, leashes, collars, crates, etc.  

We will be taking donations till noon on Friday, December 16th.  

Dog Portrait Paintings

Our monkey mascot, Dexter, recently had his portrait painted by a local artist, Brittney West.  The painting was just too adorable not to share with you guys!

It measures only 3" x 3" and comes with its own little easel.  She does other sizes also, but we love this little one!  Not to mention the fact that we LOVE that 10% of the proceeds from her paintings goes to Multnomah County Animal Services.  She has a Facebook page if you're interested in getting your own pet's portrait!

Howl-o-ween Party!

The second annual no bonz about it Howl-o-ween Party 

will be held here on Monday October 31st,  

4:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m!

Games will be played, tricks and treats will be had, costumes are optional!   Every dog goes home with a goodie bag and a fun Halloween photo!
                   
Get your dog out of the house so he/she will not scare away the Trick-or Treaters, or eat all the kids candy!

Twenty-five dollars gives you peace of mind, and your dog a howlin fun night!  If your dog is already attending daycare that Monday, he/she is welcome to stay after 6:30 to join the party for just fifteen dollars. 

Make reservations for your dog today!

Happy Fall!

It's been a good week here at no bonz about it... The dogs enjoyed the last official week of summer and have taken full advantage of the sunshine! 

Best buddies, Biff and Ollie, have now been reunited for good as their schedules are once again in sync!!

In other news, talks have begun about the second annual no bonz about it Halloween Party!  The details still need to be worked out, but have no fear, we will be open to keep your dogs out of the candy bowls!  Time to start working on costumes, as last year's will be tough to beat!!

Have a wonderful sunny weekend!!

New kids!

We have had several awesome new dogs begin attending no bonz over the last few weeks!

Little Boston terrier, Homer, has been coming for years, but now he has a little sister, Fancy Pants!

A new spaniel, Buddy, made fast friends with a long-time no bonz attendee, Quincy!

The softest German shorthair pointer we have ever met, Liesel, started this week:

Also new this week, a sweet vizsla puppy named Scout!  She has quickly befriended Fancy Pants!

And last, but not least, Ava the black lab has a new little brother, Otis!

So many great new dogs!

Welcome!
