I'm a mixed breed puppy and my owner doesn't want me anymore. I need all my vetting-- everything. If I can get the veterinary care I need then into the right home this time, I'll have at least a dozen years of fun ahead of me. Will you help me get off the path I was on and onto the right one? ....... Thank you Camelia! I'm safe and on my way to a brand new life!!!
This is embarrassing. I'm not supposed to look this bad but my owner was a nitwit. Obviously I wasn't cared for at all, then she dumped me here at animal control. These folks are trying to help me and have reached out to PPR on my behalf. Will you sponsor me?............ Thank you Naomi! PPR is sending a volunteer to come get me! I can't wait to see what I look like underneath these matts. Naomi is my angel!
I'm a Fox Terrier with heartworms. I've been at animal control for 3 weeks and my time is up. Heartworms is easily fixed and I'm young so if I can get the care I need, I'll be perfectly healthy. I need a sponsor fast-- will you help?....... Thank you Camelia! I am on my way to a PPR vet now! Just in time!
I'm a little mix at animal control. I'm very afraid when I'm in my cage. But when I'm not in the cage I'm very sweet and loving. I'm just scared, that's all. Will you sponsor me? .........Thank you Charles!! I'm packing my bags and getting out of animal control today! They sure are nice here, but my cage and the other dogs terrify me. I can't wait to get into a quiet PPR foster home!!
I'm a sweet mixed breed girl who just needs a fresh start. There's nothing special about me. I'm not a pure-bred, I don't do special tricks and I'm not a puppy. But PPR thinks I'm worth saving and they will help me with a little help from you. Please sponsor me............Thank you Miss Camelia. I promise I'm going to be a good girl and I will enjoy every moment of my new life! Thank you for saving me!
I'm just another homeless mom. My owner obviously didn't care for me so I had puppies. Then I was dumped at animal control. My puppies are high-risk so PPR needs the help of two sponsors. Will you be one of our sponsors? Thank you Camelia! I'm going to be ok now and my pups have a good chance. PPR vets will do everything they can to make them well. Thank you both for caring about my family!
I'm a Maltese at animal control. I have skin issues which might be why I ended up here. Sometimes owners dump us instead of getting us the veterinary help we need. Will you sponsor me so I can receive the care I need and become part of a family that cares about me this time.........Thank you Lisa! I'm saved and getting out today!!!
I'm a mommy dog with three pups (there's a third one that isn't in this photo). We're at animal control and we need two sponsors to help save us. Will you sponsor my family? ........ Thank you Nicole and Evelyn!! We are safe in a PPR foster home and will receive the veterinary care we need!!
I'm a good little boy. I'm matted and loaded with fleas, probably worms too. I've had no vetting and need the works. I want to be one of the lucky PPR dogs I've heard about. I hear they get all the medical care they need, then a family to care for them until the recover, then a forever family. That sounds like just what I need! Will you sponsor me?.........I'm safe! Scot and Pamela saved me! My new life is about to begin!
We rescue dogs from Death Row at animal control and from uncaring owners headed to animal control to dump their dogs.

Please help us save one with a $70 donation using the paypal button above. We'll use your donation to pay the initial veterinary bill, grooming fee and animal control fee. Tell us which dog you want to save or we'll select the one who needs you the most. We'll receive your donation immediately and will save a dog waiting for help. Your dog's "last" day, will became the first day of his new life! He will be cared for, loved, receive veterinary care and a forever family. We'll send you updates and photos of your dog and a photo of his happy ending with his forever family. You'll watch your dog go from hopeless to cherished!
On their way to a new life (some of our most recent saves--before and after photos)
Maya had lousy skin and lousy owners. She needed a new start which Lisa made possible by sponsoring her. Maya went first to our groomer to shave off her matts and wash away the filth. She felt better immediately! She then received the veterinary care her owners didn't want to give her, but she desperately needed to cure her skin infection and her ear infection. Maya is going to be feeling good in on time thanks to Lisa and her foster parents Andres and Andrea!
Leo just needed someone to help him through a tough time. He hadn't been cared for but that could be undone in few weeks! Scot and Pamela sponsored him and his life turned rightside up! His foster parents, Michelle and Bill, were first-timers and they lucked out because Leo is a gem. This boy slept for 2 days then his personality started to emerge. He is a doll!
Benson was a beautiful boy at animal control! He was matted, but still gorgeous. But he wasn't adopted, so he needed us. Nancy sponsored him and we sent a PPR volunteer to pick him up on his last day. He went straight to the vet because he was sick. Benson had an upper respiratory infection that needed treatment before it became pneumonia. We started him on antibiotics. He was too sick to vaccinate so he went to foster mom Deb's home where he could recover. When he's feeling better we'll vaccinate and neuter him, then he'll be ready for a home!
Lolly was a matted mess! It was obvious when she came into our care that someone tried to cut out her matts. Someone tried to help her. But she needed a professional grooming as her matts were very close to her skin. Camelia sponsored Lolly and we got her straight to our groomer, then to the vet for her exams, vaccines, fecal, HW test and spay! Lolly needed the works. Lucky for Lolly, Sharon a PPR foster mom is caring for Lolly where she is recovering and loved!
Miles came to us missing most of his hair. He also had a yukky mouth-- he needed a couple teeth extracted! But he was oh so sweet!! Animal control wanted this boy saved!! Camelia sponsored him, Deb a PPR volunteer picked him up, the PPR vets made him well and Maria is caring for him! This is one lucky boy who had nobody and now he has the PPR team on his side!
Pluto was found as a stray. We found his owner who said they didn't want him anymore. Lucky for Pluto, Nancy cared about him and sponsored him. Pluto loves to play and now he's playing merrily with Tomi, his foster mom. Pluto deserved better than his previous owners and now he's living the life he deserves!
Artie came to us from animal control, thanks to his sponsor Camelia. He was a sweet, happy boy, with no idea how close he came to seeing his last day. He was full of fleas and had lost most of his hair because of the fleas. Now Artie is on the mend with fosters Sandy and Marc. Artie is getting lots of love from the whole family!
Wallie was a mess. But he knew that underneath those stinky matts was a beautiful boy waiting to emerge! Veronica sponsored this sweet boy and Michelle drove across town to get him out! Wallie went straight to the groomer, then the vet for his exam and neuter. Now has a brand new life to look forward to
Mango was at animal control and a "last call" rescue request went out for her. She had multiple fractures in both back legs and her pelvis. She was to be euthanized in just hours so we agreed to take her. Camelia sponsored her and now she's a PPR dog. This is the sweetest dog you'll ever meet. She has seen our orthopedic vet and we'll do whatever we have to for her. She is going to be just fine with a lot of care from Nina and Nini, the foster mom and daughter team!
Lexi came to us in pain. Her back legs seemed to hurt and she had a UTI. Our vet immediately diagnosed her as being full of bladderstones. The pain we thought was in her legs, was actually in her bladder. Kaye sponsored this little one and Julie committed to foster her. Lexi is going to be just fine and feeling great soon!
Patsy came to us from animal control and delivered a pup during the transport. Unfortunately her pup didn't survive, but she is thriving. We had to take her to the ER vet when she arrived, but since then she has been going gangbusters. Thank you Patricia for sponsoring this sweet girl who was skinny and stinky but is now gorgeous and glowing!
King is feeling great. We have x-rayed him and done bloodwork and a urinalysis to determine the cause of his bloody urine. He has kidney stones, which is likely an incidental finding but may be causing the severe urinary or bladder infection he has. He will be with us for a while so we can figure out his issue His appetite is amazing and he is happy and playful. He loves his foster mom Sherry and Ruth who sponsored him!!
Oscar was listed as a 14 year old Dachshund at animal control. But he didn't know his age! He acts like a much younger dog. He loves to walk and be loved. He can see and hear and has a great appetite. His teeth are lousy and he's bald but that's no reason to be euthanized. He's a happy, proud boy who thinks he's gorgeous!! His foster mom Janette loves him and we all thank Patricia for sponsoring hime!
Cooper is missing the hair on his back and his tail, has horrible teeth and two back legs that don't work. He's a mess. He struggles to walk, but is the happiest dog around. His legs hurt from bad knees and torn ACL's. We will fix them. The surgery is very successful. When we get him out of pain by fixing his legs, he's going to be so happy! He has so much to look forward to!
Charlie and Josie, mommy and daughter Shih Tzu's were given up because their owners were moving. After a groom and clearing up Charlie's eye infection, they were gorgeous. Linda sponsored these two beauties so now we'll find them a home where they can live the rest of their lives together.
Abigail was at animal control in pain, urinating blood. We got her to our vet. They performed surgery on her and removed 18 bladderstones. Abigail is recovering with her foster mom Jeanine who is giving her the care she needs and the time she needs to recover.
Sparky was a terrier mix that came to us a mess. Due to lack of proper grooming he was matted with an eye infection in both eyes. We had to shave his head so he looks kind of funny, but because Jeffrey sponsored him, he's clean, happy and ready for a home!
Brigette still has a long way to go, but in just 10 days she has made incredible progress. She was dirty and depressed and now she's beautiful, energetic and loves to run. We still need to clean her teeth and remove her mammary tumors, but for now we are getting her healthy so she will do well in surgery. Brigette's foster mom says she can stay as long as she needs to because she is such a delight. Brigette is a brand new dog with a great life ahead of her! Thank you Kimberly for being her sponsor.
Hannah didn't have much going for her. She had already had pups once and was living in a back yard. Kimberly sponsored 2 dogs for the holidays and now Hannah is safe with her foster mom Linda. We got Hannah all the vetting she needed and now she is ready for a home. This sweet little girl could have a new family by the new year!
Oakley came from animal control, dirty but happy! She is a courageous little girl who kept her faith in people, despite how she had been treated. This little girl is now a beautiful pampered pooch with Linda as her foster mom. Thank you Camelia for sponsoring her as she's about to get the life she deserves!
Janey is a sweetheart now that she doesn't have to be afraid anymore. Barbara sponsored her, we got her out of animal control and our groomers turned her into a gorgeous gal. She was so matted and afraid and now she prances so proud!
Chance was huddled in a corner at animal control, unable to walk. His pelvis was crushed. Nobody wanted him because this was a bad injury that would be expensive to fix and require months of recovery. Nina, a PPR volunteer went to meet him and just couldn't walk away like so many others had. Thanks to all our PPR donors, Chance is recovering from pelvic surgery. He's walking way ahead of schedule and will be running soon!
Shea is now a beautiful girl. She came to us in not such good shape. Her eye hurt due to a cherry eye and she was not feeling good from kennel cough and being so dirty. Her kennel cough is clear and our veterinarians did surgery on her eye to fix it. She is clean and ready for a home! Thank you Camelia for sponsoring her and Ann for being a first-time foster mom!
Sheba was a disaster. She had lost all hope. Now she's feeling so much better! JoAnne groomed her and she started feeling better immediately! JoAnne's hands were the first loving hands Sheba felt in a very long time. She will be spayed and have her vaccines and dental, then she'll be ready to start her new life! Thank you Camelia for sponsoring her!
Jayda was a flea infested, rust colored, smelly, matted girl. JoAnne groomed her and transformed her into the sweetest, cutest, whitest Maltipoo!! This little girl's personality was transformed as well. JoAnne performs little miracles on these dogs. Just a few hours in her care and they emerge different dogs, with confidence and hope! Thank you JoAnne for all you do for our dogs and thank you Camelia for saving this one!!
Dharma was adopted from animal control, then returned to animal control because she was too affectionate. She had only one eye which was infected and had an ulcer and a cataract. We treated her eye which cured the infection and healed the ulcer. We then ahad her evaluated for cataract surgery, but luckily the cataract is so minor she doesn't need surgery! Thank you to all who helped us afford her care!
Samuel and Adam were a disaster. They needed the works! First our groomers had to shave them. Both have skin infections due to matts and filth. They had medicated baths and our vets started them on antibiotics. We want to give them a few days to settle, then we'll do their neuter and dental. In a couple weeks their hair will start to grow in and they will be even more beautiful. Thank you Jacqueline for sponsoring them and Christine for opening her home to both of them until they find their forever home!
Charlie is a good boy! He came to us not neutered, with a skin, ear and urinary tract infection. Our vets started him on medication right away and just a week later he is much improved. Charlie is enjoying his time with Andrea his foster mom who loves this sweet boy. Thank you Patricia for sponsoring Charlie who's going to be a healthy boy in no time!
Hans is safe and happy. Camelia sponsored him and his foster mom Fonda is taking great care of him. His kennel cough is gone now and he's enjoying being clean and flea-free while he lounges in his warm foster home getting stronger every day. Look for Hans soon on the Adoptable Dogs page.
Trudy has eye problems. Natalie sponsored her so we could save her from euthanasia as nobody adopted her from animal control. She was matted and stinky so we got her groomed immediately and straight to the vet. We started her on antibiotics and eye medication to get her eye infection under control. She will have cherry eye surgery on both eyes as soon as her infection is gone!
Robby was at animal control with his sister Trudy and two other siblings. The two siblings were happy and healthy so other rescues took them, but Robby and Trudy had eye issues and Robby was sick. Robby has had a week of eye medication and he's eyes look great. We are currently treating him for pneumonia and we expect a full recovery in two weeks! Thank you James for sponsoring him!
Claude was just another dog that nobody wanted. Camelia sponsored him and his entire life changed. He had two busy days at the vet and the groomer, then went to Jeanine, his foster mom to start his new life. He's gone from stinky and unwanted to bows and kisses!
Daisy needed a helping hand to get her through a tough time. Ann sponsored her and she got all the care she needed and a wonderful foster mom to make her feel safe.

Jayden is a beautiful little boy with so much life in him! He loves everyone and everything all the time. He's so happy to be safe in the care of his foster dads Dustin and Stephen. Jayden came to us with an unsure future until Susan sponsored him. Now his future is guaranteed to be spent with a loving family that will find him soon.
Milo was severely neglected. His back was bald and full of sores. Animal control looked for the owner to press charges but they couldn't find them. It took a couple months but Sonia kept up with the medicated baths and oral medications until finally he became a gorgeous Shih Tzu. Despite how he was treated by his prior owner, Milo loves all people and gives tons of kisses!
Goldie was found vision impaired, trying to cross a busy street. She was rescued by a kind lady named Stacey. Goldie was horribly neglected. The abuse this little girl suffered was sickening. The open sores on her back, the thickened skin came from years of mange and neglect. She has just started her medicated baths and her mange mites are gone. Amy, her foster mom will continue to care for her until she is ready for a home, no matter how long it takes her to heal.
Stewie was living in a sewer pipe. He was rescued by a Police Officer and taken to animal control. He had long stinky matts and couldn't even see. Animal control cleaned him up beautifully! Camelia sponsored him and now he's with JoAnne and thriving! He loves his toys and his soft dog bed. His foster mom worries he's going to pull a muscle during one of his toy-shaking sessions!
Jayden is a gorgeous boy! He needed help and Susan came to his rescue. She sponsored him which helped pay for his vaccines, neuter, microchip and groom. Now he's with his foster dads Dustin and Stephen and lovin' life! Jayden has never felt so special as he does now in Dustin's and Stephen's care. Jayden is another lucky PPR dog with everything to live for now!
Cupid didn't have anyone. He was left at animal control because he had heartworms, dirty teeth and is considered past his prime. Camelia knew better. She sponsored him because he was worth saving. Now he's a beautiful boy with maybe 10 years of life ahead of him, shiny white teeth and he'll be free of heartworms in a few weeks!
Rio is safe! He came to us from animal control after Patricia sponsored him. He went to his foster mom Andrea and within hours he was acting like he was "home". This boy was hours from euthanasia and now he's snoring on the sofa, playing with Poodles and sunning himself in the yard!
Missy is safe now. Because she is middle aged, she wasn't adopted or rescued from animal control. Evelyn sponsored her, we rescued her and now she is gorgeous and waiting for the family that won't be able to resist her! Last week, nobody cared about this little girl. This week she'll have folks applying for the privilege of meeting her!
Happyjack was turned into animal control by his owner who also gave him this horrible hair cut, ensuring he wouldn't be adopted from animal control. Lisa saved him with her sponsorship and now he's looking dapper with his new clean cropped hair do. He's a perfect dog, we are so happy we could help him.
Cannoli came to us at 3 lbs. He hadn't eaten for 5 days while at animal control. He has multiple health issues that we are working on and he improves every day. He's put on 1.5 lbs and has started playing and kissing. Here he is watching TV with his foster sister, whom he has grown very attached to! Thank you Camelia for sponsoring him.

Emma Grace still has some recovering to do from her prior life, but she's feeling better every day. She loves her foster family and she's learning all kinds of wonderful new things about her world. She loves it all (well except for thunderstorms!!). Thank you Patsy for saving this sweet girl.
George was very depressed after his owner died. He wouldn't eat and barely moved. He was confused and afraid. As you can see, now he's very relaxed! He's also eating like a horse, which is just what we want to see. Thank you Jacky for saving him and Mandi, his foster mom, for making him feel safe.
Sadie had lived a sheltered life. She's learning new things every day and is enjoying every moment of her new life. Sadie's foster mom has already taught her to walk on a leash, sit and come. She learned her new name in 3 days! Thank you Lisa for saving this beautiful girl.
Georgia's owner died. Melissa sponsored her, which allowed us to save her before she went to animal control.

Bella was a Poodle at animal control. She was older and almost blind. Of course nobody adopted her. Little did Bella know that there was a wonderful family out there who thought she was beautiful!

She bypassed her PPR foster home and went straight to her forever home with a PPR adopter who was waiting to save an older dog that nobody wanted. Look how loved she is now!!
Calvin is a middle aged Schnauzer. He wasn't adopted because his teeth were gross and he had heartworms. Michele sponsored him and now he's on his way!

Amber was a disaster. Our groomer had no choice but to shave her naked! But she feels so good now. No stinky matts and the best part is that she can feel your hands on her body when you pet her. She is a sweet girl and a clean happy girl. Thank you Dee for sponsoring this one!

Wilhemina came to us from animal control. She was very old. She was in congestive heart failure. We got her started on meds and she had a great week. But it was her time. She passed in the care of her loving foster mom, Amy. Thank you Amy for giving this girl lots of love before she passed. And thank you Scot and Pamela for making this possible for this old sweet gal.
Winston was in rough shape when we rescued him. His left eye had burst, his right eye was about to burst. His tail was infected. We removed what was remaining of the left eye and our vets did a pedicle flap surgery on the right eye to save it. So far so good! He can see from his right eye and now we have to wait to see if it heals. If it doesn't heal we will remove it. Winston is so grateful and happy to be feeling good. The second photo is Winston at the vet giving kisses. Thank you Scot and Pamela for sponsoring this boy!
Dusty is safe thanks to Patricia and Mina! He is with Sherry, the Rescue Rider (she rides her bike for donations to help save dogs!!). Sherry is his foster mom and will probably fall in love with him and adopt him! Dusty had been attacked by a dog and taken to animal control. During the attack he broke his paw and got some puncture wounds. On top of it all he has heartworms. He is well on his way to healing from everything and came through is heartworm treatment with flying colors!!
Murphy is safe in foster care. Thanks to Maggie, Murphy won't have to worry about her future. She is loved by her foster sister Nikki (pictured) and getting all the love she has been craving. She is also receiving hydrotherapy treatments (swim time in the pool!) which is helping her feel good and making her strong. Soon her hair will grow back and she will be a brand new dog!
Camelia and her 7 pups are thriving. We expected that we would lose two of the pups as they were not in good health, but their foster mom Tomi has done an incredible job! So far so good! They have doubled their weight and are eating solid food now. Camelia the mom has become a loving pooch and is starting to look forward to her life after the pups are gone.
Lucy is wagging and enjoying her foster home. She is so happy and loves the other dogs in her foster mom's home. Lucy appears to be very healthy except for her broken front leg. It's a very old break so it's unlikely our vets can fix it, but we'll see. Worst case-- it will have to be amputated and since Lucy has been walking on 3 legs for a very long time (and running as well), she won't miss it! Thank you Camelia for saving this sweet girl.
Cinderella is safe in the arms of her foster mom Linda. Linda is cooking all kinds of wonderful treats for Cinderella to get some weight on her. She will go to our vet to have bloodwork done so we can be sure we are treating her for whatever ails her. She has put on almost a full pound on Linda's cooking! Thank you to Judy who saved this tiny gal.
Rollie is free!! Casey sponsored him and now he's gorgeous. From the cold floors of animal control to our talented groomers for a bath and cut to the soft sofas in his foster home ---all in just one day! A lucky boy!
Claire has an infection in her neck. Animal control asked us to come get her and with Camelia's sponsorship we had her in our care in 2 hours. She is with our vet now and will likely spend a couple days there until we get the infection under control. Then her new life begins!
Tulip is safe in the arms of her foster mom. She was a dirty mess. Her skin is in bad shape with raw spots from where she's pulled out her hair. She needs medicated baths for now, but soon she'll be beautiful. Thank you Camelia for helping us save her!
Strudel, we, thought, was a Poodle mix. But once we cleaned him up we found a Maltese under there! We treated him for heartworms and now he is recovering with his foster mom. Thank you Denise for saving this one!
Charlotte was sooo excited to get out of animal control! This girl came to life from the time she jumped out of the car. Charlotte cleaned up beautifully and is very grateful to Denise the kind stranger who saved her!
Heidi is safe in her foster home with Staci. Tara saved her, we picked her up from animal control and she is thriving! She was very afraid her first day, but started warming up to her foster mom and dad by the evening. She was never part of a family, but was used for breeding. She is quickly getting used to her new life. Staci says she follows them around the house and has started to play!
Matilda was a mess!!! She's already starting to become beautiful. She lost most of the hair on her back due to prolonged flea infestation. Melissa our groomer made her gorgeous and now she's on her way! Thank you Sandy for sponsoring this little girl.
Holly was loaded with ticks. Not 1, or 2 or even 30. Our volunteer pulled off 40 ticks before she loaded Holly in her car then realized it was a losing battle so she just headed for our vet. The vet did a tick-dip on Holly which killed most of the ticks. The next day Holly was paralyzed--tick paralysis. The vet found 3 remaining ticks, pulled them off and Holly was walking just fine the next day!! Thank you to Deb for sponsoring Holly and our excellent vets!
Sunshine is safe in her foster home thanks to Barbara and David for sponsoring her. Sunshine came through her spay just fine and is battling kennel cough right now. In a week we'll start her heartworm treatment, then she'll be good as new!!
Annie hasn't been to our groomer yet, but at least she is free from animal control and has had her teeth cleaned (and half of them extracted!!). Now that her mouth feels good, she feels good! Thank you Scot and Pamela for saving her!
Tyson is doing great! He is a perfect little man and he better get adopted soon before his foster mom falls in love with him and can't let him go. This little guy is ready for a home!!! With this face we won't have him for very long! Casey saved this little guy and he is appreciating every second of his new life.
Munchkin is already feeling so much better. He's blind in his remaining eye, but it doesn't stop him! He loves going on his walks and takes lots of time to roll in the grass!! This boy is loving life now that he is getting the eye drops he needs and is living a spoiled life with his foster mom Jeanine. Thank you to Maria and Richard who sponsored Munchkin so PPR could rescue him.
Maxwell is safe! Here he is being held by his new friend Lauren. He's been to the vet and groomer and now he's going to spend some time with his foster family recuperating. He's blind and has a few other issues, but he's getting happier by the day! Thank you Denise for sponsoring him!
Sassy is a doll! She is such a good girl. Her foster mom is spoiling her silly. She was groomed, examined by our vet and had her teeth cleaned. She and her foster mom are enjoying their time together and we'll start interviewing applicants for Sassy's forever home soon. Sassy asked us to thank Jane for saving her!!
Savannah and her 5 puppies were looking for a rescue to take them all. Fostering a mom with pups is extremely difficult. The sleepless nights, the poop, the poop and the poop! Savannah is the BEST mommy ever and also happens to be a wonderful Brittany Spaniel. She's pictured her with Lisa her foster mom who has her work cut out for her!! Mommy and pups were loaded with worms, but we are expecting them to grow up to be healthy and fat!! Thank you Deb for saving this family!
Princess's daddy went into hospice care and she had nowhere else to go but animal control. Deb sponsored her so we were able to get her into PPR care. She is a happy, playful pooch that needs a little help. Princess' first vet visit was great. Her heartworm test was negative and she was determined to be in great health-- she just has a snaggletooth causing a crooked smile, but who doesn't love that! Princess will have her teeth cleaned in a few days then she'll be ready for a home!!
Rudy wasn't adopted or rescued from animal control because he has heartworms. Susan sponsored him and now he's safe with his foster mom Linda. Rudy has kennel cough so we are treating him for that now. After he has recovered we'll treat him for heartworms and will cure him. Rudy's teeth need to be cleaned too so when he's done recovered from his heartworm treatment, our vet will clean his teeth. Rudy will be a new dog soon!!
Miley was supposed to be a boy! We were told she was a "he", but surprise, it's a girl!! Her sponsor Sandi was very surprised when she sponsored a boy, but her email update said she saved a girl! Our biggest challenge with Miley is that she is terrified. We will work with her to bring her out of her shell. She acts as if she's spent her life in a crate. She'll be fine and is making progress already.
Nahla is awesome. Animal control asked if we would save her because her time was up. Leigh sponsored her which allowed us to say "Yes". She's now safe with her foster mom who is fattening her up because she was just too darn skinny when we got her! She also came to us with a urinary tract infection which we are treating her for now. After she's recovered, we'll spay her and find her a great home!
Gretchen is safe. She wasn't adopted or rescued from animal control because her leg appeared to be broken and who wants a dog with a broken leg! Well, lucky for Gretchen we do and saved her because Susan sponsored her. Our vets xrayed her and found she has a fractured tibia. This injury will heal on it's own, but we have to keep her from being too active. Sounds easy-- but it's actually quite a chore for her foster mom as Gretchen feels good!
Simon is safe!! Sandy sponsored him and we had him in our arms the next day. Simon is one of those wonderful dogs that is, well, WONDERFUL. He still needs to be groomed, but is in very good shape. Somebody is going to be very luck to adopt this boy. Sandy, thank you for saving him so he can live a long happy life now!!
Bugsy is a terrified little terrier. He is an older boy who is safe with Linda, his foster mom. Linda is taking it slow with Bugsy and today he let her pet him!! Soon he will come out of his shell and before long he will be on her lap, begging for hugs and kisses. Thank you Maria and Richard for sponsoring Bugsy!
Cinnamon has a very large mammary tumor. She was also very skinny when we got her out of animal control. She is resting with her foster mom and when our vets tell us she is ready she will have her surgery which will remove her tumor and spay her. Cinnamon's bloodwork and xrays came back perfect so we know she is going to be just fine! Thank you Scot and Pamela for sponsoring her!
Bentley wasn't adopted from animal control because of his cherry eye. We are going to fix his eye and make him beautiful. He'll have his surgery after we fatten him up a bit then he'll be ready for a home!! Thank you Debra for saving this boy's life!
Kirby is doing great!! He came to us so happy and thankful that we sprung him from animal control! He celebrated with toys and kisses! He owes his life to Vivian, Sue, Faith and their family for sponsoring him. He has so much to be grateful for and to look forward to!
Harvey is safe!! Thanks to Deb for sponsoring him!! He doesn't look much different, but he feels great now!! Harvey mostly just needed to get rid of his worms and for us to fatten him up!! Linda, his foster mom is feeding him like a king. Harvey also is so much happier to be out of the animal control cage and in his foster home with a big back yard to exercise in!!
Molly was from animal control and not feeling well. She had an infection and kennel cough. She also had teeth that needed some attention. We have gotten her all the care she needs and she is doing GREAT. It took her a couple weeks to turn around but she's finally a healthy, happy girl. Thank you Sandy for rescuing this little lady!
Sebastian needed a hair cut and some training. He had some emotional issues that his foster mom is helping him with. He needs a special home that is quiet as he acts like a dog that has been hit so if you approach him with a large object in your hand, he is very afraid. That's ok, he'll get over that fear as he learns to trust. He's already showing us that he's going to be ok. Thank you Jennifer for saving him.
Daisy is safe with her foster mom. Her mom died so she and her sister Brandy were taken to animal control to wait for their relatives to come get them. The relatives didn't. Lucky for Daisy and Brandy, a kind stranger named Judy came to their rescue and sponsored them both. They are both safe with their PPR foster mom now and will be ready for a new home soon.
Brandy lost her mom, who died. The authorities took her and her sister Daisy to animal control and notified the next of kin. The next of kin didn't give a hoot about Brandy and Daisy but Judy did. She sponsored them both and PPR saved them. Brandy is safe with her foster mom now being loved.
Paxton is an older Poodle boy that is being loved to pieces by his foster mom Angelica. He came to us with kennel cough which quickly became pneumonia. He's recovering now and will be ready to have his teeth cleaned soon. Then the grande finale-- a loving home! Thank you Judy for letting us save this little old man!
Winnie was a mess! She needed some TLC and she's already getting it. Her medicated baths, conditioners and antibiotics will get her started. Whatever our vet determines she needs, she will get. Thank you Angelica for sponsoring this girl that nobody wanted. It's going to be a while before Winnie gets her hair back, but her foster family thinks she's gorgeous already!
Maggie is doing great! Tod sponsored her and now she is safe in our care. Maggie is learning housetraining skills and the difference between a toy and a shoe! She's all puppy and she's strong. She's keeping her foster family on their toes!
Paxton is chillin' with his foster mom and dad-- Angelica and Tom. They say he's a perfect little man and keeps them smiling with his antics. Paxton still needs to have his teeth cleaned, which our vets will do as soon as he's ready. For now his mission is to put on some weight and keep everyone laughing. Thank you Judy for saving this little munchkin!
Madeline is safe now thanks to Scot and Pamela. She has a growth we will remove and needs a dental. She is also very afraid. With these three strikes she was not adopted from animal control. We need to get her healthy enough for her surgery than our vets will make her well. Currently she's at home with her foster mom, eating treats and getting spoiled. She's not afraid anymore.
