Along with the human residents of the Henry Levy House are 2 canine residents (and a pond full of koi). We just wanted to introduce you to them, should the unthinkable happen and they get out and get lost.
We rescued ACE on October 26, 2022 after losing Gracie and Scout (below). We had his DNA tested and he’s a real “mutt” with 13 different breeds (listed from highest to lowest): 33% Chinese Shar-Pei, 15% English Springer Spaniel, 15% Rottweiler, 13% Cocker Spaniel, 9% Chihuahua, 3% Samoyed, 3% American Pit Bull Terrier, 2% Siberian Husky, 2% American Staffordshire Terrier, 2% German Shepherd, 1% Dutch Shepherd, 1% American Eskimo, 1% Poodle. He’s an amazingly strong dog and can jump over our fence, so if you see him out and about…he’s ours!
ANNIE MAY (in the middle) is a ¾ Beagle ¼ Japanese Chin that we found roaming a nearby neighborhood in the San Fernando Valley. She’s an extremely affectionate pup and can jump and leap like a gazelle! She thinks passersby should be inside the gates giving her attention and will bark like crazy for not knowing that! We’re not sure how old Annie is, but we’re guessing about 6 years old.
IN MEMORIUM
GRACIE VIRGINIA was an 11 ½ year old Golden Retriever who thought she was a Beagle since she always had Beagle siblings. She’s was as sweet as can be, but as with the Beagles, a bit of a barker when she got excited or saw strangers.
Gracie came down with some form of cancer, but was actually doing very well and was very happy. She also had a fairly large Lipoma on her side that while awful to see, didn’t bother her or put her in danger.
SCOUT (on the left) was a full-blooded Beagle. Scout was rescued by the *Beagle Freedom Project in a group of 40 Beagles from a testing lab in Spain; he spent the first 5 years of his life in labs. He has tattoos in both of his ears from his stay in different labs. His birthday was on Halloween and almost made it to 15. He had arthritis so had a little trouble with steps and jumping down from the bed or couch. He was a little untrustworthy of strangers, likely because of his early captivity. He would get extremely excited around strangers and other dogs.
Sadly, Gracie and Scout had to be put to sleep on October 24, 2022. They went to the Rainbow Bridge together.
*Note: While we admire the work that the Beagle Freedom Project does in rescuing dogs in danger, we do not endorse the organization.
