Meet Mack. Mack is a small ( 11 lb) dog that almost got us both killed on Thursday ( I adore him anyway). I was on my way home from bringing a friend home, when Mack darted out from a Hardees parking lot and into traffic. He crossed 107 narrowly avoiding being hit. I pulled my van over and parked to try to get him. I wasn’t even out of my vehicle when Mack dart across 107 again and entered the Exxon parking lot. Once out of my vehicle, Mack was yet again standing in he middle of 107 with an 18 wheeler coming straight at him ( and now me) he wouldnt come to me so I shooed him to the other side of the road, handed a bystander 10.00 to buy him a Slim Jim at the Exxon to try to coax him to come to me. He allowed me to get within 3 ft of him but not to actually touch him. Frustrated and worried I would not be able to keep him from the hwy I called the cheif ACO ,Bill. He was only 7 miles away. He and Chris placed a bowl of food on the ground with the loop from the catch pole around the bottom of the bowl as mack ate he gentley slipped it over his head. Thankfully Mack was safe but because I had no choice but to involve AC he could not come home with me but rather had to go to the shelter to give his owners a chance to reclaim him. I followed Bill’s truck to the shelter and spent 30 min with the little guy though still frightened from his ordeal he is a happy little guy giving me kisses like he had know me forever.
I have put our name on him to keep him safe. We are looking for a foster/adopter for little Mack in the highly likely event no one comes to reclaim him.

Mack safe after his ordeal

Ps Would someone please explain to me how a lil dog with legs three inches long can run so fast………….it totally defies everything I ever learned in physics class LOL

Please be advised that due to the severe pet over population in the southern states we do not adopt to Ar/Ga/Sc/Mi/La or Fl. We strongly recommend to residents of those statess to frequent their area shelters to adopt as so very many animals are euthanized on a daily basis. Simpley visit www.adoptapet.com click on find a shelter near me, enter your zip code and viola’ it will kick you out a list of shelters/rescues near you.
We will adopt to folks in states other than those listed above,however, fosters must be within a 3 hr drive of us as getting the animal back to show to potential adopters is next to impossible if they are any further away than thatplease keep in mind that already means a 6 hr round trip drive every time

Some of you will remember Theresa, the two and a half month old beagle puppy that was born without her right paw and also without  part of her right leg. This imperfection  caused her owner to bring her to the shelter. We pulled Theresa from the shelter the very same day she was going to be euthanized. She has since been seen by our veterinarian and I am happy to say she was transported to her new adoptive family in Ct on Wendsay,July 22nd.

We would like to share with you a few photos we received from Nancy, her adopter. We also would like to take a moment to thank Nancy and her wonderful family for opening their heart and home to this little girl in need!!!
