http://www.thejhub.com/home/Blog/PortneufKennels/599 Far away and high in the mountains of Idaho sometimes you can see some strange things. There is a spot in the Idaho Outback called "Marsh Creek".  One day a couple of men driving a cement truck watched a little dog covered in porcupine quills come up to them.  She asked for their help.  The men knew instantly that this dog was a princess in disguise and they agreed to help her.  She told them that she had lost her way and that her name was "Princess Poke". The men called the Bannock County Sheriff for help on their magic phone.  Then the sheriff, who also wanted to help a princess in distress, called P.A.W.S.  Arrangements were quickly made and a volunteer met the men at the truck stop and rescued the princess. The princess had quills in her mouth and nose and could not eat or drink.  She had lost weight and was thin and dehydrated.  The volunteer knew she had rescued the princess just in the nick of time.  She probably would not have lasted much longer. But this in an "Idaho Fairy Tale" and the little princess was taken to a doctor and with the help of other volunteers she made a full recovery. Princess Poke wears her battle scars from her "Idaho Bush Adventure" with honor.  Anyone who has been thru a "battle" of his or her own know how she feels. Princess Poke visited with me for a weekend and she was a true lady.  She was quiet, clean and very well behaved.  She told me that she had lost her way and needed to find a new castle to watch over.  She only had one request...that in her new kingdom there were NO cats as she just could not get along with the silly creatures. I agreed to tell you about Princess Poke and now I am looking for a "Fairy Tale Ending" to my story. Princess Poke is now looking for someone to adopt her and treat her like a princess.  She would like to be a house dog and have a fenced yard.  She is a young dog probably about 1 1/2 years old.  She is a min pin terrier mix but she looks like a miniature Doberman.  She is about 16" tall. Her cropped tail wags all the time.  She has a lovely disposition and likes people and other dogs.  She does not like cats.  She walks well on a leash and could be easily trained.  She has gained weight and is almost totally healed.  She has been vaccinated and the vet thinks she has already been spayed. If you would be interested in giving Princess Poke a new home please contact : P.A.W.S.  bannockpaws@hotmail.com If you you would like to help P.A.W.S. continue to rescue dogs like Princess Poke in Bannock County your donations are always welcome. Also up for adoption are 3 small dogs.  Their owner has passed away. They are neutered and vaccinated and recently groomed. They are house dogs and are used to using a doggie door.  All are sweet and lovable and need someone new to love.  Mishka, a 5 year old female Miniature Schnauzer. Chipper, a 7 year old male Chihuahua Teddy, a 10 year old male Maltese For information on these three dogs contact Portneuf Kennels 234-2798  (leave a message) or info@portneufkennels.com.
