Meet the Dogs

Chester, a tan, black and beige Yorkie, was one of the worst cruelty cases I have witnessed at the Rutherford County Animal Control Facility. He was picked up by an Animal Control Officer.

Posh Pets rescue in New York City took 8-year-old Janie from a local government animal control shelter and immediately brought her to the vet’s office for a checkup.

11-year-old Vera had been waiting in a kennel for adoption for two years, yet no adoption group was able to take her. Greyhound Pets of America-Wisconsin stepped up to help Vera and her old friend NickyNack. 

Jane was left with a neighbor when her humans decided to move to New Zealand. A year later, the neighbors were working long hours and Jane had to stay home alone for 10-12 hours--just too long for an old dog. 

Last month we learned that 13-year-old Baby, a mini-dachshund, entered the hospice program at Central Texas Dachshund Rescue. CTDR says, "Baby came to us with her buddy after spending her entire life in the backyard of her home..." 

Halo, an old chocolate lab, was found as a stray in rural Ohio and taken to the local shelter. Southwest Pennsylvania Retriever Rescue (SPARRO) works on a regular basis with this shelter and was happy to make the 300 mile drive to pick Halo up there.

Nolan is a nice, older dog who was left behind in an empty house when his former humans moved out. He was picked up by animal control where he was near the top of their list for euthanasia. He was horribly matted when he came to Saint Louis Senior Dog Project.

Mooter, a spaniel mix, spent his nine years of life on the end of a chain. Community Partnership for Pets worked with Grey Muzzle to find a home for Mooter. Saint Louis Senior Dog Project took Mooter and three other seniors.

Cabot was rescued from animal control by St. Louis Senior Dog Project, and Grey Muzzle paid for his medical care. How he ended up as a stray picked up by animal control we'll never know.

Sweet senior Molly was turned in to Southwest Pennsylvania Retriever Rescue (SPARRO) by her owners. She had a full body yeast infection, infected ears, and had lost most of her fur.

Angelica, 12 years old, was scheduled to be euthanized when a volunteer from German Shepherd Rescue of Northern California (GSRNC) brought her into their hospice care program.

This month we met Sebastian, one of the senior Goldens being helped by our new grant to Delaware Valley Golden Retriever Rescue. Sebastian’s original family wrote to say they were moving and could not take 13.5 year-old Sebastian.
