ADOPTED!!!! WoooHooo!!!

Hope

All of our rescues and sanctuary dogs are special and important to us but every now and then one will touch our heart in a special way, Hope was one of those.

Rescued litterally from the brink of death, she was severely emaciated and it was questionable if she would survive.

Hope’s Story

In June 2008, Hope was turned in with her 8 puppies by her owner. Six pups were put down as it was felt they were too sickly and she was to weak to proviade adequate nutrition for all of them. At the vet, she was given a 1 on the BMI scale. Basically she could not be any thinner and still be alive. She weighed only 33.4 pounds and should have weighed 70 lbs.

Along with Hope, we resuced her two remaining surviving puppies, Chip and Dale.  Of the two, only one survived, even with all the love and care we could give.

These couple pictures of Hope when she was rescued just barely show the atrocious condition she was in.  Every bone protruded, no muscle left.  She could barely stand or walk left alone care for puppies.

It takes a very cruel and sick person to let a dog get into this condition and sadly her owner will never pay the price.  Too many dogs, too much neglect and abuse and just not enough laws and support to do anything about it!

After more than a month of intense care, feedings 6-8 times a day to begin with, Hope blossomed and filled out.  She learned to play and just be a dog.  It was so rewarding knowing how she started out just to see her playing and wrestling with other dogs.

The two pictures above are of Hope and CJ, an amputee that was also adopted, playing and wrestling like normal, happy dogs do.  It was such a joy to watch them both!!

And the best part? A truly Happy Ending – Hope has been adopted!! Now she will have a the chance she should have had from the beginning, love, a home, regular feedings and so much more!!

She truly stole hearts with her strength and courage!

ADOPTED!! WoooHooo!!

Chelsea is a 2 year old C hocolate Lab.  This sweet girl thinks she’s a lap dog.  She’s spayed and up to date on her shots.

Bella Mae – A Success Story!

This is Bella Mae.  She was rescued from a Virginia animal shelter and as you can see from this first picture, she wasn’t a happy girl.  She also had ‘cherry eye’ for which she needed surgery.

This is Bella Mae after her surgery, she doesn’t look quite so sad now either!

And to top off this wonderful success story, Bella Mae’s foster mom fell in love with this sweet girl and decided to give her a forever home.  What a happy girl she is now!! Check her out playing with her favorite toy, a plastic bottle… running and romping, just the way it should be.  The last picture is a real ‘keeper’! Just look at the love and happiness on both their faces!

Adopted!! WooHooo!!

Update – 7/8/08 – The three sweet puppies have all been adopted! One to one family and the other tow to another family with children and a big yard.

Looks like they’re all set for a wonderful new life!!

Woody’s been adopted and will have a wonderful home to live out his senior years!

Meet Woody! He is an approx. 10yr old male Chihuahua. He is neutered and 100% housebroken. Up to date on all shots- vet records available. NO health-issues at all.

He was rescued from a kill shelter back in March.

Woody is a real lap dog. He loves to be held, and plays with stuffed animals all day. The only ‘issue’ with Woody would be that he doesnt not play well with other dogs. He is not interested in sharing his toys, food, or attention time. He needs placed as “the only dog” in a household. he is very quiet, and clean. Perfect for a senior.

CJ has been adopted an will now have the wonderful, loving home he so deserves!!

CJ is a loving Lab/Husky mix boy, approximately one year old.  When he was rescued his back leg showed signs of an untreated break.  Unfortunately it was determined that it would need to be amputated but trust me, that doesn’t get CJ down.

He had surgery on April 21, 2008 and within days he was up and around, easily getting used to being a ‘tri-pod’.  His sweet and affectionate nature makes him a hit with everyone he meets!

UPDATE - Toto’s been adopted!!!

This little guy is Toto, a 2 year old terrier mix. He’d love to curl up with you and cuddle.
