Meet the Dogs

Riley was taken into Mid-Atlantic English Springer Spaniel Rescue (MAESSR) when his family became overwhelmed with his care. This sweet, 11-year-old boy began having seizures about a year ago. And, as with many senior Springers, he is deaf.

Jason arrived at the Kauai Humane Society as a stray. Not much was known about this sweet, eight-year-old senior, except that he came into the shelter with severe skin allergies. Even though Jason was super uncomfortable, staff and volunteers found him to be a super happy boy!

Bartlett is an eight-year-old miniature poodle who arrived at Norfolk Animal Care & Adoption Center as a stray. This was certainly a blessing in disguise for poor Bartlett.

When he arrived, the shelter manager noted he had a host of issues, including matted fur, fleas and fecal scalds.

The Humane Society For Hamilton County (HSHC) in Indiana didn't think twice about pulling Ethel from a local shelter and accepting her into their adoption program. This 13-year-old gal was at risk of euthanasia due to her age and chronic medical issues, but HSHC knew she had a lot of life left to live and love left to give.

The Humane Society of Central Oregon (HSCO) received Zena from an individual with too many dogs. When she arrived at the shelter, it was discovered she had large cysts on her chest and left hip.

George Washingbone is a lovable, ten-year-old Dachshund who arrived at Prairie Paws Animal Shelter (PPAS) as a stray. Thanks to a Grey Muzzle grant, all senior dogs get a senior-specific wellness exam and labwork upon intake.

Charlie Brown, a sweet, nine-year-old hound mix, came to our grantee Pawmetto Lifeline in South Carolina because his owner could no longer care for him. He had been kept as a strictly outdoor dog and, sadly, tested positive for heartworm disease.

After being found as a stray and bouncing in and out of a local shelter, nine-year-old Helga was transferred to  the Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society (PAWS).

Milton and his wiggly butt had been at Chicago Animal Care and Control for two whole months. A ten-year-old pittie with a heart murmur, Milton quickly became a volunteer favorite at the shelter and had many wonderful pals rooting for his rescue.

Harley came into the care of Nevada Humane Society (NHS) as a rescue from the local shelter, Washoe County Regional Animal Services. He is a sweet, 13-year-old Terrier mix who was diagnosed as having Stage 4 dental disease by the NHS medical team.

Diva is a sassy 12-year-old terrier mix who required assistance from the Foundation for Animal Care and Education (FACE). Sweet, little Diva was diagnosed with painful bladder stones.

Little One is a ten-pound, 15-year-old black and tan Yorkshire Terrier mix on a mission to get a cuddle from anyone who comes near her, and she usually succeeds. She came to Dakin Humane Society at the end of the summer because her person had too many animals and wasn’t able to meet her needs.
