New additions

We have three new additions who came to us from kill shelters in the south.  The plight of these dogs is heartbreaking. They have been on death row, forgotten for months on end in boarding facilities, pushed out of loving homes due to breed bans, malnourished and devoid of love. They do all have one thing in common. At every point in their plight, people have stepped forward and tried to help. This help came in many forms. Sometimes it was the rescuer who pulled them from the shelter, the rescuer that opened their home temporarily, the volunteer who took a day to take them for a walk and give them a little love, the list goes on but every person who crossed paths with these dogs has contributed to giving these dogs a chance to find love, give love and make a difference. If you are reading this and you have made a difference in the lives of the dogs that pass through here, we thank you. We take care of these dogs on a daily basis, but our supporters are the backbone of this operation. Let’s introduce our new arrivals:

Roscoe: A pit bull mix (male, neutered) who was rescued from a gas chamber in Georgia. He was living happily in a foster home in Tennessee when he became the latest casualty to a breed ban. Roscoe, faced with death row for a second time, was given up by his foster family to ensure his safety. He is wonderfully polite, sweet and playful. He is hoping after a year in limbo he will finally have a home to call his own, forever. Thank you to Kathy and her family for all their love and care they gave to him while he was entrusted to them. If you know someone who would can give Roscoe the home he deserves, please pass this on to them.

 

Harley is a year old male lab/shepherd mix. He is neutered. Harley was pulled from a kill shelter in Georgia by Coweta Kids. He has been in a boarding facility for most of his life. He is a warm, loving dog. He is great with other dogs, children and people. Harley is a people pleaser. Despite his rough start in life, Harley is everything you could ask for in a dog.

Hailey will be two years old in March. She is a spayed black lab mix. She is charming and sweet. Hailey tested positive for heartworm, underwent treatment and retested negative. She has been in boarding for the better part of a year. She is great with dogs, kids and people. Hailey has the sweetest disposition and tons of love to share.

So many good dogs... so many problem humans.... So often, we get caught up in thinking about all of the people who let these dogs down. It's wonderful to see you acknowledge all of the people who play supporting roles in helping our canine friends.
