Stevie
is an absolutely adorable 10-month-old pup.
He is about 45lbs, which is just the perfect size for playing,
running, and snuggling. Stevie was facing euthanasia at the shelter
because he suffered from kennel stress.
Now he is quickly adjusting to his foster home and learning the
joys of being a part of a family.
Stevie is: * Housetrained, * Neutered, * Microchipped,* Up to date on his shots, * Leash trained * Knows “sit” and "down" - * A pup full of charm and happy energy Since Stevie is visually impaired, he will need special training and lots of TLC, but he is already demonstrating he is a confident and a quick learner. Stevie is people-centered and affectionate but should not be placed with young children due to his exuberance and difficulty seeing Location: San Rafael, California (San Francisco Bay Area) Contact: Lisa and Joe Hamilton at lizahamilton@yahoo.com |

Tucker
- Just look at this handsome boy. We discovered that he is an Lethal White
Aussie mix with Lab and has and although he looks like a lab has all the
lethal white/double Merle characteristics. What an absolutely awesome dog.
Sweet as pie loves everyone and always has a smile on his face. He is one
of the three White Angels Hope choose for the New Year; he is a very
special boy. He is totally blind and despite the neglect and what ever
this poor dog went through at human hands, he is still loving and gentle
and will make someone an awesome pet. We think he will do best with people
that work from home and with another dog. We will find him a forever home
where he will be treated with tenderness and love. We want him to see the
other side of life, the good side, the side that shows him humans are
wonderful and good parents. He surely has not given up that hope. If you
want to adopt Tucker you will be getting a wonderful companion full of
love and devotion. Tucker is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained
and spayed/neutered. He is a blind Aussie/lab mix located in NYC with White Angels Hope Rescue. Contact Margaret at WhiteAngelsHope@aol.com

Teddy is a Boston Terrier/Pug mix
estimated to be 8-10 years old at the most. He is a stocky 26 lbs. and is
built like a pug, including floppy ears and a curly tail, but he wears the
black and white suit of a Boston Terrier. Hes adorable! Teddy was turned
in to a shelter by his callous owners because he was getting too old. He
arrived into foster care with untreated glaucoma with vision totally lost
in one eye, and the second eye in such bad shape that our vets were unable
to save his vision in that one too. Teddy is on medication which is
working to control the pressure in the right eye, although he is now
totally or almost totally blind but don't let his blindness fool you. He
has adapted incredibly well and it will only get better as he adjusts. He
needs to take this medication twice a day which he takes quite happily
with a bit of peanut butter or cheese. How very sad that had treatment
when the glaucoma began he would still be able to see. Our vet has diagnosed him with very early stage pituitary-dependent Cushings, but he does not yet show any of the typical symptoms. Because of this, he has not been started on any treatment but he will need to be monitored. Teddy has been through so much, it is understandable that he is scared. His recent blindness makes it difficult for him to interact with other dogs (and cats) because he is easily startled and will act defensively. It would be best for Teddy to be in a home with no other dogs or cats. It is also recommended that he goes to a home with no very young children. Even with all of that he has gone through Teddy is a loving and sweet boy. He is crate trained and house trained. In general, Teddy is pretty low-energy and does not need a lot of exercise. He enjoys hanging around in the house and wandering around the yard. He will go for a walk on a leash, but he is eager to get moving, even without his sight, and will pull to go. He will need some guidance on leash manners. Teddys favorite things so far have been chewing on bones or bully sticks. He likes to press up against your leg and get lots of head and tummy rubs. Oh, and treats. He will sit very nicely for treats. He recently started enjoying digging through the toy box and selecting a stuffed toy to play with and suck on. He wants nothing more than to have a quiet home where he can be settled in with those few things and be loved for the sweet and special guy that he is. Because Cushings can be an expensive and life threatening disease if Teddy doesn't receive treatment, we are offering a special incentive for anyone who would consider giving him the life he desperately deserves. Northeast Boston Terrier Rescue will completely sponsor his medical expenses throughout his life in the same way we would any other permanent foster dog. All we want for him is to find a home where he will be relaxed and will have happiness and love for the rest of his life. |
| Teddy is currently being fostered
in Penn Yann, NY (Finger Lakes region) and transportation
assistance can be provided. We require an application, phone interview and homecheck. To see our application process before applying, visit our Petfinder shelter information page or visit www.nebostonrescue.org You can also complete our online application on our website. |

I'm e-mailing a couple Photos, Video and
short Bio on this special boy that came into our Shelter (Tehama County
Animal Care Center) Monday, Sept 13th.
He is a Red, Red Nose APBT male pup approx. 7-8 months old. Vet check confirmed irreversible Retinal damage and he seems to be completely BLIND! He will steel your heart with his "JUST HAPPY TO BE HERE" attitude. He walks well on and off leash and of course his hearing and smell are extremely heightened. He gets around great in new areas and adapts very quickly. He is a Great Ambassador for the breed and a VERY SPECIAL dog! We have him out in a temporary foster but this SPECIAL BOY deserves a special home soon. Tehama County Animal Care Center Red Bluff, CA. 96080 (530) 527-3439 strickapbt@aol.com |

Hi, My name is Kodee. I'm a Texas
boy that moved to the Midwest to be with momma and daddy. I love
adventure and traveling in the car, so I am ready to see where my
forever home will be. Virginia, New York, Georgia? There are so many
places to see! I love exploring the yard (and providing fence protection - you never know what's on the other side waiting to try to sneak in my yard!) and my mom says I pretend to play fetch. I will chase the ball, but foster mom is working with me on actually dropping the ball and not running away and turning it into a game of chase. Ha ha! The joke's on her because chase is my favorite game! I love to chase the other dogs around the yard, but sometimes I get frustrated when I can't catch them. You see, I have a hard time seeing at times, but it really doesn't slow me down. I run around after the dogs and I walk carefully in the house. I just have to bark at daddy when he leaves something new on the floor that might be in my path. What a jerk - doesn't he know that humans are supposed to accommodate all doxie needs? For those of you that are wondering about my unique markings, I am a red double dapple (DD) and as DD owners know, we can have hearing and sight issues from our poor genetics from trying to breed cute or pretty doxies. DRNA says I am one of the lucky double dapples. My hearing is fine, but I do have some vision issues. |
| I have settled into my foster
home and am learning to be an independent doxie, which is hard when all
I want to do is snuggle in your lap and be where you want to be. I mean,
humans do all kinds of interesting things and I want to be a part of all
of it! My foster mom is also working on obedience with me. When I moved,
I already knew sit, down and stay. I also surprised her with a roll over
/ play dead demo that she found out by accident when she was trying to
get a puppy into a sit position. We are working on new
"tricks" and better dog behavior - I love to rush through
doors, so I am working on a sit/wait/release command. Check out
this video of me doing my tricks!
Kodee is currently in INDIANA,
but his foster mom regularly adopts out to the East Coast. Kodee has
already traveled from Texas to be surrendered and he is ready to travel
some more to head to his new home. Please don't let the distance
dissuade you! |

BONES: I found her in horrific
condition-her eyes were swollen shut, starved, about 30 pounds under
weight, filthy, missing fur and couldn't even stand on her own four feet.
After several weeks of R&R, lots of treats and love, she is improving
impressively. Our vet gave us a generous discount to have her checked out
to see how bad she was. Everything that I was concerned about came back
negative, however she was extremely and dangerously diabetic. We have
started her insulin shots, have increased the amount numerous times, but
think we have finally found the right dosage for her. Despite all of this,
her tail continues to wag...all she wants to do is rest her head in your
lap and be loved. -She is approximately 12 years old though her teeth are
in good shape. -She is blind (due to the untreated diabetes) and can only
decipher light and dark and sometimes a shadow. -Her coat is coming back
shiny and smooth though she does have her gray hair to give away her age.
-She is great with cats AND dogs. -She is extremely intelligent and is
already learning commands to help her navigate while on walks. You say
"Step" and she lifts her paw to feel for the step. -She is still
having accidents in the house due to the diabetes but is completely
trained to go on wee-wee pads. -She loves walks now and immediately comes
when you whistle for her! Please open your heart and home to this old gal
so she can live out the remainder of her life in a loving home being
spoiled and cuddled. She is truly a sweetheart just wanting to see what
her life should have been. I will not post 'before' pics of her as they
are graphic.

Findie was brought into the shelter
on Sept. 21, 2011 by her owners as well as her brother. They said they had
too many in the litter and so they could not keep these adorable furry
guys. She is now 3 months old and just as loving and sweet as can be.
Findie has an issue with her eyes and is likely partially blind. She does
seem to have slight eyesight. She loves to be with her human companions
that love her and really enjoys being held and given love and attention.
Won't you open up your heart and home for this sweet girl in need of TLC
and a FOREVER home? Findie deserves a home ready to take on a
special-needs girl! Contact info: Carteret County Humane Society, Newport, NC, 252-247-7744. Michelle, Sarah, or Candice. |

If Lincoln had a mouth and could talk
to tell you his story. You wouldn't want to hear it. Lincoln was bought by
a family for $50.00. They got him home and found out he was blind or
partially blind and partially deaf. So they called our rescue and wanted
us to take him because they couldn't handle a dog with these needs. They
didn't want to take him back to the breeder because they said he would
just kill him. Great breeder- not! Lincoln was born the end of June.
Lincoln is fully vetted and our vet said he is legally blind in human
terms. He has some vision. Lincoln needs a home where someone is home most
of the time to get him trained. He is a very loving and sweet dog that
will give you all the love he has. He didn't ask to be born with these
issues but is still a dog worthy of the time and attention. We are looking
for an adult only home not because he has any aggression issues or
anything just because we want him to be given the time and attention he
deserves. His adoption fee is 200.00. The fee helps us take care of dogs
in our program that need more medical care. So when you are adopting you
are helping another animal in need. Home visit and references are required
for all adoptions.

Jericho is our VERY Special Case
because his vision is seriously impaired. He can see shadows and his eyes
will follow you as you move around but he is nearly blind. Jericho is just
2 ½ years old and it is our veterinarian’s best guess that the cause of
his near-blindness is human cruelty, perhaps poison. Despite this,
Jericho, is an adorable, loving, affectionate dog that loves to cuddle and
be near his person. Found as a stray back in August, Jericho is seriously
ready for his forever home. He has been at the shelter way too long and
needs a home, even a foster home as soon as possible.
Jericho, did spend two weeks in a wonderful but temporary foster home and was amazing!! He was a snuggly, mellow guy that got along well with older children, cats and horses. He is housebroken and enjoyed being with a family. His Fabulous Foster Mom wore a bell so he could easily follow her around their farm! We think Jericho would do best as an only dog for now. In the future, as he regains his sense of security he may enjoy having another dog as a companion and “guide dog. Right now, he tends to get possessive of his person and has not been getting along with other dogs. Hopefully that will change once he feels secure and loved in his own home.

“Clive” was dumped on the side of
the road but he was luckily found by a passerby. He is 8 weeks old
and was born blind. Though he is unable to see, he makes up for it
with his other senses and his tenacity. Clive is full of love
and energy. He is a playful, fun loving puppy and so very sweet.
He appears to be a full blooded Australian Shepherd and we expect him to be a medium sized dog. Clive is a unique a little boy. He has won a special place in our hearts and we want to find an exceptional home for him. If you have such a home, please give us a call! For more information or to visit Clive, please call Mary Beth Ansell at 512-964-3422 or email austinhopeandhealing@gmail.com. Clive is living in a foster home in Austin, Texas. |

Our newest foster dog is Snyder, an 8 year old blind pit bull who was rescued from a high kill shelter in NY. Don't let his age or blindness fool you though! He has the energy of a 4-6 year old dog and learned his way around our house in 2 days!! Snyder will be neutered in the next week or two, is up to date on all of his vaccines and microchipped. We just had bloodwork run and everything looked great! Snyder has done well in his short visits with our dogs. We are still rotating them as he is not fixed, but he enjoys being with him for the short time he is allowed. Snyder would love a home to call his own. He is currently working on some basic commands and I will provide private lessons to his adopter if they are local. (Allentown, PA) Please forward this along to anyone you think may be interested in our goof ball :0) They can contact me for more information. Erin Kerchner emkerchner@pplweb.com |

Trip is a youngster. He is approx.10
months old. He is spunky and cute as can be. He is hearing impaired. He is
approx 45 lbs. His breeding appears to be a bird dog, hunting type. He is
friendly and out going! His ideal situation would be to have another dog
sibling. He tends to thrive from the canine companionship especially since
he is deaf. He has no problems with daily life and loves the outdoors! He
is so loveable and very active. Great with other dogs and great with
children. His foster home has acquainted him with many visitors. He needs
a wide open space for his energy and tendency to hunt. He is loyal to
being home but is also an escape artist and fences are little challenge to
him. He isn't friendly to chickens. His fee is being sponsored! Call
606-663-9462 His fee is paid by a donor. He is neutered.

Roscoe is an adorable 2 yr old
American Staffordshire Terrier. He is a very friendly, outgoing, and
playful dog. He gets along well with cats and loves to play with dogs of
all sizes. Roscoe is also DEAF! Deaf dogs arent as hard to live with as
people may think. They act just like any other dog except for the fact
when they are sleeping they dont wake up to every noise like you leaving
the room or making something to eat and they dont bark at every noise
(since they cant hear it!). It is sometimes difficult to call them in from
the yard during they day unless you have another dog they can follow but
at night just flip the porch light on and off. Roscoe will be at the door
by the second time! They also sell vibrating collars which are useful to
"page" a dog if in a different room or outside by themselves.
Deaf dogs are not hard to train. They are actually easier because they
arent distracted by noises! Roscoe has been trained using hand commands
and picks things up very quickly! It is also a myth that deaf dogs will be
aggressive if startled. Depending on the personality of the dog any dog
can get defensive if rudely awakened but not all deaf dogs bite when
startled. Roscoe (as well as a deaf aussie we had) would be jumped on by
another dog while sleeping and they would just jump up, look all around,
and be ready to play! Roscoe is completely housebroken, crate trained, neutered, up to date with shots, and microchipped. Please give this great boy the forever home he deserves! Please email fureverloverescue@yahoo.com if you are interested in meeting Roscoe! He is waiting for you! |

Hi-I'm super adorable aren't I? My
name is Baby J, and I was rescued out of an urban shelter in MD. I
was sitting in a crate in a hallway, and most people walked by me without
even seeing my beautiful face. How could they miss me? I am super model!
Baby J lives with two dogs in his foster home and
LOVES to play, roughouse, cuddle, and sleep with his foster siblings.
Right now, Baby J does have some fear - perhaps because of his deafness -
around new dogs and is working with his foster momma and a professional
trainer that new dogs are opportunities to form new friends and shouldn't
be scary. He expressed his fear with some barking to try to seem scary but
it isn't fooling us! We are hopefully Baby J will soon be adding new doggy
friends into his inner circle. But, I am very smart! I've made great progress on my puppy housetraining. As long as my foster momma takes me out on a regular basis, I am really good at going potty outside. This means my adopter should have a flexible schedule because I need to go potty every few hours. My foster momma has a neat hand signal she gaves me to say "good boy" since I can't hear her tell me. Infact, my foster momma is teaching me all kinds of hand signals so that I can learn sit, down, good boy, and all the other things my foster siblings know. I am really looking for an adopter who thinks I am perfect and wants tospend the time to teach me hand-signals and everything I need to be a model doggy citizen. Luckily, I am super food motivated so I am willing to learn anything for a cube of cheese. I am up to date on age appropriate shots and was neutered by the shelter. Adoption process and adoption fee applies. Fostered in DC http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxeSZZYTOXQ |

Ace is located in Wall, NJ. His contact is Tammy Boland at mattnbubba@yahoo.com or (908)433-1796 Ace is an adorable 10 month old neutered male Bulldog/Pitt bull mix. Ace is deaf but it doesn't stop him from being a volunteer favorite! Ace is a great dog that plays with every one. His doggie social skills are incredible. Our rescue group pulled Ace from an over crowded kill shelter in December and are shocked nobody has scooped up this little guy! Ace would do best with a family that can spend alot of time with him teaching him hand signals and basic commands. He would do great with a fenced in yard and another dog to play with. Please consider giving this sweet boy the home he deserves! |

This is an urgent situation because I am ever more uncomfortable having Bella around my 6 month old daughter. However, although she may not be great with children she is a very calm dog. She loves having a cozy and comfortable spot to cuddle and nap in most of the day. However, she is an alfa dog and doesn't like to be bothered much by other dogs. She is in outstanding health as per her latest blood tests where the vet exclaimed she thought she was reading the labs of a 2 yr old dog! She is spayed is up to date with all vaccines, heartworm and flea meds. She is deaf but understands sign language very well. Finally, she walks very well on a leash. |

Name: Grace Age: 15 months Disability: Deaf Breed/Weight: Dalmation-Pit Bull Terrier, approx. 45 lbs Grace is a very sweet pup. She loves belly rubs and to be pet. She is highly energetic & loves to be walked. Grace loves interacting with people and has been socialized with many dogs and cats. With love, consistency, and regimen Grace has come to understand several commands using basic sign language. Like any puppy, she may give you that look, - “What?! Really?” but always follows through. She enjoys to look out the windows to see what or who is passing by. Because of her disability, it can be difficult to let her off the leash. She is looking for someone with patience and a lot of love to give back. And for a home with a lot of space to run her little heart out! She is located near Baltimore, MD Contact Nick Konstantopoulos nkkonstant@yahoo.com 443.520.6625 |

Bronx came to us on June 9th. He was hit by a car and left by the road. Animal control picked him up. He is probably around 11 months to a year old, neutered male. We are thinking he is mostly Pit bull terrier, possibly some Dalmatian. He has a midshaft oblique humeral fracture on his right front leg and is deaf. He has seen the vet and had x-rays done three times. It is healing appropriately, but the callus is possibly pinching the nerve (as of the last x-ray). He is on pain meds and restricted activity for the next 2 weeks until the next x-ray. The vet doesn’t think he will need surgery. Until he came up lame again, we were working on his training with hand signals. He is quite bright and picked up sit, down, and stay really well. He likes other dogs and doesn’t startle, I think this is because he was always asleep in his kennel when the girls came to give him his meds, so every time he was woke up he got a meatball! He loves to fall asleep with his toys in his mouth and kennels really well (barely makes a peep! Probably because he doesn’t hear any of the other dogs barking at him!). Please let me know if you know of anyone who may be able to help us! He is a really good natured, up-beat boy and really deserves a chance. Misty Watson |

We have one very special girl, who I, myself have been working with for the last several months. Star is a 3 year old, deaf, white Pit Bull Mix. She is super sweet and knows "sit," "come," "no," and "leave it/take it" using sign commands. She can also do our teeter-totter (sitting before and after going over it) and can jump through our agility hoop on command. She is very treat motivated. She has been taken to the park to jog, Petsmart for socializing, etc. She has been with us since May and because she isn't very good with dogs or with cats, she hasn't even been looked at. Shelter life is really starting to affect her, making her loose weight, and become restless. She has a lot of energy and loves going to the play yard, but with staff who are going nonstop, she doesn't get out all that often (other than cleaning her kennel.) Here is what was said about her temperament test: "Star is a very sweet and social girl who loves to play. She allows sensitivity without issue, but pulls away from restraint. She really enjoys play tag, and she can be a little mouthy when excited. She is a little insecure, hand shy, and not sure what to think about fast movements. When I first tried to get her to play with the toys, she cowered a little. When she realized she wasn't in danger from me or the toy, she began to play, and released easily. She is gentle when taking treats and has no issues with her food bowl being touched. I was able to pick it up with my own hand while she was eating. Star would do well in an active home with children over 10 (or that can handle her style of play). Because she is deaf, she needs experienced owners who can help her adapt. " Star has really come out of her shell since May when she had her temperament test. She has a prance in her walk and is a fantastic dog. We unfortunately cannot get her adopted out and are desperately trying to find a rescue for "special needs" dogs that would know how to work with her and find an appropriate home for her. She has been my baby since she arrived at the shelter, and if I didn't have other dogs and a cat at home, I would adopt her myself. If you can help, or know someone who can, please contact us at hshcanimalprograms@gmail.com Humane Society for Hamilton County in Central Indiana |

Olivia is a 1-11/2 yo pbt who is incredibly smart and loving. She came from Philly where she was found in a wooded area loose, skinny, but still loving. She came to us last December and we discovered that she is completely deaf. We sent her to training with a volunteer and she came back completely trained and much more at ease with her surroundings. She is scared of other dogs sometimes, but plays very well with the 5-8 dogs in her play group, however we are looking for an only dog home for her b/c she needs lots of attention to be happy. She ignores cats and loves kids, however b/c she is deaf and a child can easily startle her we are looking for a home without small children. She responds immediately to hand signals and we will require the adopter to go through an hour of training with the volunteer that worked with Olivia for the past 7 months, so Olivia's transition will be as smooth as possible. Olivia is possibly housebroken, crate trained, walks with a harness, and is treat motivated. Please consider taking home this sensitive loving girl today, you will have a devoted friend for life! Adoption fee is waived b/c of a sponsorship. This includes her spay, rabies, distemper, kennel cough, HW test, HW prevention, and F&T prevention. More pictures and videos of all of our rescues can be found on our facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/pages/Animal-Kingdom-Kennel/164987619232 We are located in

Meet Jake - Jake is about 8 months old and sweet as can be! Jake is crate trained. Jake thinks life is to be enjoyed and he has no idea that he's "special". Jake is deaf and may have some vision problems. BUT, he wanted to let you know that none of that slows him down and the other dogs he plays with will agree with that! Jake is one smart little pup and he learns very quickly. He is very agile and maneuvers around his bigger foster brothers and sisters very easily. Before they can think about getting to that special toy, Jake has swooped in, grabbed it and he's off! Jake loves everyone and is a sweet, gentle, loving dog. He loves being cuddled. If you pick him up and hold him, he'll hug you back and give your neck a little nuzzle. Deaf dogs make wonderful companions and there's a whole world to be explored when you take one of them into your home! If you would like to adopt Jake, please contact Second Hope Rescue right away! www.SecondHopeRescue.org contact person karen@frederickpets.com |

Rebel is a very special dog. He had a spinal cord injury as a very young puppy and was paralyzed. Since then he has made a dramatic recovery. He walks on his own with assistance, especially outside and non slippery floors. He gets around great in his wheelchair (see the video) . He is currently in physical therapy twice weekly and loves the under water treadmill and his rehab friends. Unfortunately Rebel has spent the majority of his life in a cage - he needs someone special to take the time to help him finish his recovery. Rebel has made great progress in his recovery and will soon walk on his own. He has a love for all people and other dogs.He is young,happy and full of excitement and energy!

Louie is a terrier mix who is around
5 years old. He had a disc rupture in his spine which caused him to
become paralyzed from the waist down. He had surgery to fix the
problem, but it was unsuccessful. Louie moves around the house well
by scooting on his bottom and can even go down stairs. He has a
wheelchair for outdoor use and loves to go for walks. Louie has a
sweet and gentle personality and gets along well with other dogs and cats.
Louie would be happy living with someone who is able to spend a lot of
time at home
Louie lives in Hagerstown, MD. contact info- embradley27@aol.com |

Chance is a Sato dog from Puerto Rico. I offered to give him a 'Chance' here in the U.S. at my own expense. His rescuers in PR believed he could walk someday. He came to me back in January 2010, dragging his hind legs and had open, bleeding sores on his behind and his feet. Those have all completely healed. I got him a wheelchair in February and he can now stand and walk on his own and is still a little wobbly, but improving everyday. I had extensive xrays and tests done. They proved that he suffered NO trauma to his bones. They think his hind legs may have been bound as a puppy to be a bait dog for fighting. He is only just over a year old now. I am desperate to find a home for him as I have 3 dogs of my own and I am a single mother, working full time. Although, he has made tremendous progress with me, I no longer have the mental, physical and financial capability to care for him. But he has such a strong will to live that I pray he finds a home. He will be getting neutered on 6/15/10. He needs to go to a home where someone can give him the time and training he needs. The surgeon that evaluated him at Tufts Veterinary Hospital does not believe he is incontinent but that he never learned to be housetrained. I find this to be the hardest obstacle because I am not home enough to give him the training he needs for this, so he still goes to the bathroom whenever he wants. He will follow my dogs outside but still has a long way to go with that and I hope it doesn't prevent him from being adopted. He HAD food aggression but has overcome that almost entirely. But as he is maturing, he needs more training. He is a strong willed dog. Please consider giving Chance, a chance!

Penny is about 3 yrs old and was left in a crate on the front steps of the Maplewood animal control officer's residence last winter. Penny was denied admittance by 2 local animal shelters. Best Friend was contacted and we took her in. For now, she is doing well in her foster home but she really needs more attention and would surely thrive in a "forever home". Penny has Ankyloking Spondylitis, (a chronic, inflammatory arthritis and autoimmune disease. It mainly affects joints in the spine and the sacroilium in the pelvis, causing eventual fusion of the spine). She will need ongoing medical supervision although the vet feels that for now her condition has stabilized. After a feature story in the local paper, a very generous business owner donated the funds to get Penny a brand new set of wheels. He brought her up to Eddie's Wheels and had them custom made for her with all the bells and whistles. She is still resisting the wheels but, again, she needs someone who will be willing to work with her on a more regular basis. Penny is spayed and up to date on all shots. This is what
Allie, her foster mom, says about Penny: I can attest to the fact that she is an absolute doll with so much spirit...She has a very funny personality and doesn't take any grief from anyone! Anyone interested should contact Diane at 908-561-0177 1208 |

Wayward is a 7 month old GSP/Lab mix. He loves people, cats, dogs and snuggling! Wayward was bred by a backyard breeder, and was the runt of the litter. He was also physically abused until 14 weeks of age, and it has caused permanent damage. His back legs only function 60% of the time. During that time, he is able to hop around like a bunny. The other 40% of the time, he drags himself around with his front legs. I got Wayward in July 2010, when he was 14 weeks old. He suffered 3 seizures before the end of August, he's been seizure free since then. He is on medication that costs $80-$100 a month. Wayward is crate trained, and he does well with other dogs. He plays with my 3 pit bulls all day long, and he's always done beautifully. I take him to the dog park 3 times a week, and I pull him around in his wagon on the days he doesn't have the strength to walk. He loves both! He needs a human that can spend the majority of their time with him, and that doesn't mind snuggling a large dog. (he's going to be about 60lbs) Amanda Puyallup, WA 253 279 9394 dragon.tamer@yahoo.com |

Charlie
Bear comes with is own wheels! This boy has TONS of personality
and nothing can get him down. Charlie Bear used to be able to romp and
play but somehow, he ruptured a disc in his back. He can stand on his
own and also drag himself around but he can’t walk by himself
anymore. Well, that is unless he is in racing car: Charlie Bear LOVES
to go on walks, smell (and pee) the bushes and make everybody smile,
that he meets along the way. He is eager to go in his cart when it is
time for a walk and actually sometimes runs with it.
Charlie
Bear smiles and says: " I still love life, even though, my best
buddy already got adopted and I have been at the rescue for a long
time. I have lots of energy left and would love be explore a nice yard
instead of dragging myself on concrete. I am a very affectionate boy
and wish nothing more, than to give kisses to my own parents/family.
Hey, and if you have Mocha Frappuccino Ice drink, I will love (I mean
lick) you forever!
I love my
racing car and I am always happy to show it off! Watch my video!"

If you'd like to meet this cutie, please contact Ingrid 310 480 6030 pajade@yahoo.de
or fill
out our adoption application: http://www.pcdogrescue.org/online_application.html
We
can only adopt to homes in Southern California.
According
to the specialist, Charlie Bear has HERNIATED DISK. "As a disk
becomes weaker with age or trauma, it may rupture, or herniate, causing
a portion of the disk to protrude upward and place pressure on the
spinal cord. This may be termed a 'ruptured disc" or 'herniated
disc'. This may occur suddenly (acutely) or over a period of time
(chronically). The pressure on the cord typically prevents or inhibits
nerve transmission along the spinal cord. The effect on the spinal cord
will depend on the amount and severity of the pressure. Effects can
include pain, weakness, paralysis, loss of sensation, and the inability
to control urination and defecation. The location of the 'ruptured disc'
will also affect the symptoms. Disk herniation most commonly occurs in
the neck, middle back, or lower back. A disk herniation in the neck area
may affect the entire body, while one in the middle of the dog's back
may only affect the actions of the rear legs and some abdominal
organs."

Howie’s always-wagging tail tells you what a happy boy he is! And if he could talk, he’d say that since he got his wheels, nothing slows him down! This handsome, 1-year-old Border collie-mix didn’t ask Santa for any presents this year. But he’s hoping with all his heart that he’ll find his very first and forever home early in the New Year! When he was a puppy, something very bad happened to Howie’s back. He can’t put weight on his rear legs, but he can still move them and has control of all of his bathroom functions. And with his custom-made wheels, Howie runs and plays just like other dogs, maybe even better! Check out this video of Howie playing a game of fetch. Howie is up-to-date on all of his shots, takes a monthly heartworm preventative pill, and has already been neutered. The kind veterinarian who rescued him even arranged for physical therapy to build up the muscles in his legs, and had him checked out by a surgeon. Sadly, surgery can’t help Howie. |
|
What can make all the difference in this wonderful dog’s life is finding a home of his own, where he will be loved just the way he is. Since he’s never lived in a real home before, he’ll need a little help with house-training. But he’s smart and eager to please, so with a consistent schedule, praise and treats, he should catch on very quickly. If you can offer Howie the home of his dreams, please call Sheila Hanby, DVM at 910-383-2100 or e-mail her at capesideanimal@bellsouth.net. She’d be delighted to tell you more about this amazing boy! |

Name: Oliver History: It was September 2009 and all of a sudden Oliver started limping a little one day. By the next day (Labor Day) one leg started to give out and within the hour the other one did as well. I took him to the emergency animal clinic and they ran some tests. That same day they rushed me over to the UC Davis animal hospital for surgery. He had surgery early the next morning. It turned out that he had 4 herniated discs in his spine, which also lead to a blood clot. This made it so the signals from his brain to his legs weren't functioning correctly. That is why the back two legs became paralyzed. Before the surgery, I had two options: 1. Put him down to sleep. 2. Pay $5000 for the surgery, which could result in him being able to walk again and if not, at least it would keep him alive. I did not even consider option 1 for a second. I decided regardless to save his life. If he hadn't had the surgery the blood clot would have spread to his brain and killed him. Oliver wasn't able to walk again, but the surgery saved his life. |
| Oliver is one of the sweetest,
endearing, warmest dogs you will ever meet. You can see his
innocence and loyalty just by looking into his eyes. He is
absolutely wonderful with kids and he never bites. He is a huge cuddler
and very playful. He loves playing with toys, nibbling on them, fetch,
tug-o-war, ect. He is a very good sleeper. He sleeps all night. He
loves being around people. I do have a stroller, a wheelchair and a play
pen for him. He loves going to the park, sitting in the sun, and exploring
in the grass. I am looking for a new home for Oliver because my work
schedule does not allow me to give him the attention he needs and
deserves. All he wants is to be loved.

Miss Pippi Longstocking, like her namesake,
has energy, loves to play and have fun, and has already makes friends
with every friendly dog in town!
Miss Pippi was surrendered after she
underwent surgery to repair a ruptured disk, but the surgery was not
successful, which resulted in her becoming a paraplegic. Her former
family was not ready to take on her changing needs so they surrendered
her to FBRN.
Being a in a cart hasn't stopped Pippi from
running around to play! She's fast on two legs and is ready to race the
very second she gets into her cart. Besides being full of energy and
activity, Miss Pippi is also sweet and cuddly and loves to show her
adoration for people.
Pippi will need a family with a soft spot
for dogs that need a little additional care even if this pup herself is
unaware of her special needs. She will always be incontinent and she
wears a doggy diaper when needed. Her bladder will need to be expressed
a few times a day to avoid recurring urinary tract infections. Her
foster mom will be able to teacher her future family this fairly simple
process.
Since entering foster care, Pippi
Longstocking has been diagnosed with a seizure disorder. She's on
medication twice a day and so far the dosage seems to be working and she
has not had any recent seizures.
Before entering foster care, Pippi
Longstocking was diagnosed with a seizure disorder. She's on medication
twice a day, and so far the dosage seems to be working and she has not
had any seizures while in FBRN.
While she will need to join a family where
she can either go to work with someone or there is someone home to
administer her medicine and express her bladder a couple of times a day,
the most important feature in a potential adopter will simply be a huge
heart. The love that her family will receive in return will make the
extra requirements well worthwhile.
Pippi has a wonderful personality and gets
along well with other dogs and seems to have no prey drive so a home
with kitty residents should suit her as well. She loves playing with
other dogs though they need to be okay with the potential of getting run
over by Pippi's wheels every now and then. She also loves kids but they
should be 5 years of older so they understand how to avoid being run
over by a wild Pippi Longstocking racing down the living room or yard.
When it's time for some quiet time, she
likes a Nylabone or any old toy or ball that she can keep in her mouth.
She likes sharing her toys with dogs but seems to get a kick out of
playing keep away when it's a human that wants the ball back.
Now here's a word from her foster mom: |
 |
Dog's name; Sally Breed; Terrier/Chihuahua mix, 9 pounds, female Sally was abandoned at four months of age in an orange grove in Northern California and left to die. Her back was broken in three places near her shoulders leaving her with no use of her hind legs. Her back is healed and twisted in such a way that she only uses her wheelchair for walks and outings, otherwise she is more comfortable scooting. One of the legs had been shattered and healed straight; after a few month's in our care her scooting about left her with a broken pelvis. Our veterinarian decided it was in Sally's best interest to remove the hind legs to prevent future hip fractures. Sally is sweet with her family but cautious around strangers. She is social with other dogs of all sizes and loves cats. She requires regular bathing due to elimination issues; she is not incontinent but when she gets excited will piddle. She requires about an hour per day in her chair just to give her skin rest from abrasions. If you can provide a loving, committed home for Sally, please contact juliehernandez@live.com or call 760-450-7720 Location San Diego, CA - she will only be adopted in CA |

Petey is a 9 year old staffordshire
terrier/American bull mix. I rescued him from a horrible shelter that was
closed down about 6 years ago. A little over 2 years ago out of the blue
Petey had a disc that ruptured into his spinal cord possibly because of
the past malnourishment he endured for the first two years of his life. Following the incident the animal hospital told me that he had less then a one percent chance of walking again and surgery would likely do more damage then good. So I got him wheels and he has been great with it ever since. Petey loves kids, playing with other dogs and is good with cats. I have gone back to work full time to a very demanding career and have two very young children. Petey is by himself way too often and needs a home that will love him and care for him so he can be around people and other possibly other dogs or go for walks during the day. Petey is a loyal companion, loving, very smart and obedient. He was given another lease on life 6 years ago and is a happy, jolly and gentle dog. As difficult as it is for me to send this e-mail I know that it is not fair for Petey because he needs a home where he will get more attention for his physical and mental well being.

If pictures can tell a thousand words, what
story do you think Madison has? Yes, you are seeing her
picture right. She has no ears. Her former owner did a
homemade crop job on her ears and instead left her with only horrific
scarred, holes on the side of her head.
When Madison was first brought in as a
"stray", people could not believe what they saw. Skin
and bones, holes where there should have been ears, burns on her body,
and a raging inner ear infection, yet she still wagged her limping tail,
smiled through a mouth full of broken teeth, and if her eyes could talk,
they would have begged.... please pet me. She was clearly beaten
regularly, and bred and bred and bred till she was worn out, and wasn't
producing anymore.
This is clearly the story of a sweet dog who has had a lifetime of abuse, torture, meanness and cruelty.
Despite the treatment that humans
inflicted upon her, Madison has such a sweet and gentle spirit that
still shines brightly. This 7 year old sweetie, still
has a sparkle in her eye, and wants to be loved by people so much!
She needs to be an indoor pet.
Please keep Madison in your prayers at this
time, she has to bad discs in her spine and the damage cannot be
repaired with the odds of 10% chance of walking again. She is still in
very good spirits and loves her McDoubles that she has everyday.
Madison's wheel cart is here and is loving every minute of it, She
is not a good candidate for physical therapy because she no longer has
deep pain in her lower limbs. She will enjoy her life wheelin
around and eating her burgers, hot dogs, chicken what ever Miss Madison
wants that day! If you accept Madison, please let me know.

Breed: Shepherd mix (mutt) Age: 8 years old female Spayed: yes - Shots current: yes Disability: paralyzed back legs Location: Indianapolis, Indiana Haley has been a wonderful family dog for almost 8 years. She loves kids and loves being right in the midst of the family and activities. She just became paralyzed (back legs) mid-November. We have not yet gotten her a wheelchair. Currently she is in diapers, although I've been told that urinating and bowel movements can be scheduled so that diapers are unnecessary. She is somewhat dog aggressive, although a new dog could probably be introduced slowly, as we have a second dog that was introduced as a puppy 3 years ago. My name is Heather Puletz. I can be contacted at hpuletz@yahoo.com |

Name: Snickers Age: one and 1/2 yrs. old Breed/Weight: Corgi Mix/25lbs. Disability: Paralyzed from waist down/learning to use a wheel chair History: The Humane Society of McCormick County (SC) received a call that a dog was found under a trailer and appeared to be injured. We rescued him and at first thought he had been run over. We took him to the Vet and they x-rayed him to find he had a bullet on his spine. We had no facilities to handle him, so the Veterinarian's tech took him under her wings, as a foster parent. She ordered a cart (that his hind legs go in), has him in therapy once a week to help get his legs moving again. Snickers is so happy go lucky that he is not aware of his disability. His enthusiasm make you just want to smile. If we all had Snickers outlook on life, we would all see how much we have to be thankful for. He is just happy to be alive!

PSPCA (ACCT) located in Philadelphia, PA with a wounded leg and road burn.
Vets did X-rays on her injured leg and found it was completely shattered.

| She knows to sit for
her food/ treats without a verbal or hand command. She knows to also sit
before we go outside. CHULA walks well on a leash and knows heal. If you
say it a few times while on her walk she stays next to you. She can still
pull at times but a quick correction is another method to help slow her
down. She is dog friendly, I do not know how she is with cats since she
does not live with them but a cat test can be done. She is great with
kids; she spent almost a week with twin 3 yr olds and did wonderful! She
is already spayed which means she can be adopted today. She is an all
around fantastic dog who was given a second chance at life, can you give
her a FOREVER home!?

Sweet Willow needs a FOSTER and/or a
HOME urgently!
Willow's left front leg and shoulder blade were recently amputated to save her life. The specialists suspected bone cancer but were able to completely removed the affected areas. Willow stayed at the hospital for a few days after her surgery and captured the hearts of the entire staff with her sweetness and strong spirit to live! She was in a lot of pain but Willow has been a trooper through it all. She came back to our rescue kennel walking on three legs. Now, she already likes to run in the play-yard. Even though, our staff is dedicated to keep Willow as happy as possible, she needs to be in a home environment. She needs to be able to wake up in her own doggie bed, her own toys and most importantly, her own person/family. Willow has spent most of her life in our kennel facility. But she never lost her zest for life and her loving spirit! Willow can be best described as a dainty little beauty with brains. Even though, Willow is fine around other dogs on the leash, she would like be the only dog in the household. She has been obedience-trained and is very well behaved in the house. Little Willow says: "Everybody loves me, but nobody ever takes me home. Why? I don't understand, I am a good girl and so much would love to have my own home and my own parents! I am a cutie with lots of kisses to give. Come and let me snuggle into your arms today!" Willow does NOT need any follow-up care, she gets around very well! Please understand, that we can not adopt
out of state. Willow is located in Los Angeles, CA. |

Sassy Mae.
Breed: Mix (possible Australian Shepherd)
Age: 3 yrs.
Gender: Female
Status: Awaiting Medical Clearance/will be a
tri-pod
Temperament: Great with kids and people of
all ages. Has spent her entire life with small, yippy chihuahuas and has
no problems with them. She even gets along with cats and farm animals
(her foster mom lives on a farm). Sassy is young, housetrained, and a
very sweet, loving girl that has spent her life living outside and never
known the joy and love of being a full member of the family. She is
flourishing in her foster home, loves her foster mom, and is so sweet
and deserving of a forever home.
This sweet girl was hit by a car over a year ago, and her owner never cared enough to take her to the vet or relinquish her to our volunteer. As a result, her front leg is mangled and has irreparable nerve damage and she basically drags it around. We have setup a ChipIn to raise money for the surgery she will need to amputate the leg, have her spayed, and she has been brought current on shots. She is in a foster home in Knoxville, TN shedontwearsocks@gmail.com |

Barney was only 5 weeks old when he
was abandoned out on a country dirt road. Barney was injured or attacked
and ended up losing one of his front legs at a very young age. He is now
5-6 months old and has become acclimated to being an amputee. Barney loves
to run and play but due to his limb and frequent falls, he is not
recommended to high activity like running or activity on concrete. He
sometimes has phantom limb pain and therefore, he can be a little snappy
at times. Because of this, we recommend him for an adult household. Barney
is crate trained and mostly housetrained. He has alot of personality and
is very loving. He can be a little protective of his home and can
sometimes be jealous of other dogs. He loves his people. He is very
intelligent and loves to learn. Barney loves to go on car rides and
outings. He does well with most other dogs and loves going to the dog park
for playtime.
Barney is located in Little Rock, Arkansas. Transport assistance is available to an approved adoptive home. Contact by email at contact@dogsonly.org |

leg was badly infected and killing her. SOAPS, SWEET ONION ANIMAL
PROTECTION SOCIETY, www.sweetonionaps.org

Luka is a 9week old Alaskan Husky
puppy from Anchorage, Alaska. He was rescued, along with
his eight siblings, from a home that could not care for the litter. He
was starved and extremely emaciated and he had a terrible limp. We took
him to our vet and found he had broken his leg through the growth plate
and that it was basically irreparable. We could either amputate or
euthanize. We opted to amputate.
Luka is learning to live on three legs very
well. He is gaining balance and is already trying to bound around! He is
now steadily gaining weight and the vet thinks he will make a great
recovery. Now it is time for the little guy to find a great home! If you
are interested in adopting Luka please email us at rescueadogtoday@gmail.com
or call 907-727-6728 for more info. Please note that the picture
provided is preamputation. He is now missing the rear left leg.

Sugar was about 9 months old when she
was rescued. As fate would have it she had been dumped out by the lake
apparently the same morning a benefit dog walk was scheduled that we
attended. She was a skinny little thing, covered with fleas, ticks and
worms. Even though she was looking rather neglected you would never know
it from her disposition and spirit. She is a friendly happy girl who loves
being around people. She was treated for her ailments and she thrived. One
afternoon she followed another dog that dug out under the fence and took
off on a joy run in the country. The other dog came back later that
afternoon but Sugar did not. It was 6 days before she found. Apparently
she had got hung up in a downed barb wire fence and ripped one of her hind
legs to pieces as she worked on her escape. She had lost a lot of weight
as she fought for her freedom and was very weak but she never gave up as
she found her way back to us. Our vet was amazed she had survived at all
in her condition! He tried to save her leg but it was in too bad shape. It
was amputated and she is making a great recovery, the stitches and cone
will be removed soon.
Sugar is a medium sized dog weighing between 35-40lbs and is fully grown. What she really needs now is a family to love and play with her. A family as special as she is that is willing to keep her as an inside dog. She is fully house broke, kennel trained, spayed and up to date on shots. She would make a wonderful family pet... oh yea, Sugar asked me to mention that she can get around on 3 legs just fine, thank you very much. If you are interested in adopting this girl please email us at sapa@Windstream.net (South Arkansas Pet Adoptions) |

Lancelot was injured by a hit and run driver and taken to the dog pound by a well meaning passer by. His right front leg was badly cut and volunteers took him to the vet as soon as he arrived. He has had surgery and the wound is healing, however, he has no use of the leg. The vet says he has permanent radial nerve damage and will need to have his front right leg amputated. The volunteers want to save his life but have no way to arrange for the surgery or foster care. Lancelot is a sweet guy who desperately needs to be adopted by someone willing to follow through with his operation and then help him adjust to being a three-legged dog. Lancelot is about 2- 3 months old and is located in Waverly, OH (south, central Ohio). If you have a place in your heart for him, please email: chance3858@roadrunner.com |

Bennie is a tan and white 1.5 year
old 20 pound beagle/dachshund mix. He is happy, healthy, heartworm
negative, up to date on vaccines, and neutered. He has a great attitude
and gets along with other dogs well. While Bennie has never had any issues
with children, they seem to make him nervous, so he needs to go to a home
where all the family members are teenagers or older. He loves to play
fetch, play with stuffed toys, or play tug-of-war. He is a very active
little guy and would be a wonderful dog to practice flyball or agility
with. He does also like to lounge around, as most beagles do. He will make
a wonderful, playful forever family member! Please e-mail dfwbeaglebuddies@gmail.com for more information about Bennie. He is located in Dallas/Fort Worth Texas, but transportation can be arranged to almost anywhere in the US. Please note: Bennie has been diagnosed with

Dixie is a 4 month old Husky/Hound
mix. She is a beautiful girl that came into my home as a foster at
6 weeks old. Dixie and her brother (Dusty) were 2 of a litter of
13. A lady found them on a dirt road, in a storage tote, on
September 03 of this year. She brought 11 of the puppies to the
shelter. Dixie and her brother were barely 1 1/2 pounds each,
their siblings were all closer to 4 and 5 pounds. Obvious to me
they were the runts of the litter. Upon picking Dixie up she was
moaning. As an employee as well as a foster mom for the shelter, I
brought Dixie and her brother home. I noticed something was
different about Dixie within a few weeks. She walked hunched over,
couldn’t really chew hard food or a milk bone. Dixie went to the
FRW SPCA at about 10 weeks to be spayed. A few days later I was
there with my 3 daughters to visit. We saw Dixie there and knew
she wouldn’t progress in that environment. We brought her back
home. A couple of weeks later I took Dixie to the vet. Upon
observing Dixie, the vet decided she had to have had a traumatic injury
to the right side of her brain. She was walking in circles a lot,
her back legs weren’t always working like they should. While she
can walk and even run (really fast), sometimes one of them wants to
drag.

Dixie appears to be a perfectly “normal”
dog to everyone. Anyone that meets her thinks she is beautiful.
She even likes to howl with you and is learning to say “I love you”.
In my opinion, Dixie is just slower to learn. We are struggling to
get her house-trained but she has made progress. She will still
urinate and have a bowel movement in her crate no matter the size of the
cage. I think Dixie is a great dog with an awesome personality.
Who knows what the future holds for her but I think she can make someone
with a little patience a fabulous companion.

Joey is a 20 month neutered male.
UTD on shots. Microchipped.
Joey's start in life was tragic. Unwanted & unloved, at 2 months he was left on the side of the highway with a broken back. He spent the next month confined to a metal cage at a kill shelter. Once rescued, he needed the assistance of a wheelchair as he had limited use of his back legs. At a year old, he was started on prednisone & hasn't needed the wheelchair or a support harness since! (Joey will probably need to remain on prednisone @ $4.00 / month.) After consulting the neurologist, he concluded that Joey’s spine is deformed but is stable and causes him no pain. Despite everything, Joey is sweet, happy & otherwise healthy. He likes gentle dogs, cats & kids. He does 'spine walk', but that doesn't stop him from playing, going for 1/2 mile walks, & climbing carpeted stairs (& most outdoor deck stairs) |
| Joey would love a home where he could stay indoors & keep his new owner company. He would enjoy a GENTLE doggie companion as well. If you have room in your home to give this sweet soul a chance, please email Erin at: Fork9s@gmail.com Currently residing in Lorton, Va. | |

Hey - I'm Theodore, but everybody
calls me "Teddy," so you can call me that too.
I need a new home and I really, really hope you might want me to come live
with you! Let me tell you everything that has already happened to me
since I was born in May 2011, just a few months ago. Ya see, I was
born to a breeder who kept me outside in a kennel and so I got very
excited when somebody came and picked me out as their new puppy and paid
the breeder money to have me and then took me to my new home in Bucks
County to live in a house with a real family. I didn't get to stay
there very long though, because my new owners found out I have a special
feeding issue and they returned me to that breeder man, who then dumped me
at a shelter because he couldn't sell me and make any money. Now
everyone says I am "so darn cute" and I just don't understand
what he meant about nobody wanting me and it made me very sad for a while.
But then the shelter staff started looking after me and they all loved me
and they said they would try everything to save me and give me a long
life. They found a rescue -- German Shepherd Rescue of Southeastern
Pennsylvania - that said they would take me and so here I am now living in
a great foster home with my big GSD sister, Reese and my foster cats and
my foster mom and dad and I am pretty happy, but I am waiting for my
"Forever Home" - that's what my foster parents call it and they
said to tell you all about myself cause you might be my new forever
family. I think I am a normal puppy -- I LOVE to play and play and play more until everyone is exhausted. I love balls, squeaky toys, bones and anything else that I can have fun with. Going for rides in the car is one of my favorite things too, especially when we are going to parks or places where I can visit with lots of people and lots and lots of other dogs. I also love to eat, but I have to eat and drink in a special way -- sitting up -- because I have some disorder that I can't even say -- megaesophagus. It doesn't bother me one bit, but my foster mom and dad told me I have an enlarged esophagus and so I need to eat and drink sitting up (or standing up on a step stool) or the food could get stuck and I could aspirate it and maybe get pneumonia, which I guess is a bad thing. They feed me these really yummy "meatballs" made from canned dog food mixed with ground dry dog food and other good for you stuff. I eat four times a day and then I have to stay upright for about 20 minutes after I eat to be sure all the food slides into my tummy. I love doing this because I get to snuggy-huggy with my foster parents and feel really loved and my sister Reese dances around me with toys while I am waiting for my food to slide down so that I stay entertained. After that, I rest for about 45 minutes, and then I am good to go for more romping and fun! I might have to be fed in a special way for all of my life, or I might "outgrow" my mega-e a little bit when I get older, but dogs like me can live a long and happy life if they are taken care of and fed in the proper way. You can read more about megaesophagus by going to this link: www.2ndchance.info/vomiting-megaesophagus.pdf (my foster mom helped me type this message so I hope she got the link right!). I live in a house with a female German Shepherd -- Reese -- and I get along great with her and she lets me bite her head and her feet cause she knows I am just a little dude right now. I go to obedience classes on Tuesday night with a bunch of other dogs, big and small, and I just love everyone. I have met lots of new people and kids and other dogs and I am Mr. Social -- love a good party of people to hang out with and get lots of attention and lots of hugs and kisses!! |
| My foster mom and dad tell me I
am a "ham" -- not sure what that means, but I love posing for
pictures and making sure everyone notices me! There are cats at my
foster house too and so far I have been really nice to them -- we stick
our noses to each other and sniff and then they bat me on the nose and I
don't know what to do, so I look away and ignore them. Once in a
while, when I see them running across the floor, I like to chase them!
My foster mom and dad think I might be cool living with cats, but they
aren't absolutely certain yet. If you have cats, I think I will
probably adjust to having them as brothers or sisters if we get to meet
slowly and all hang out together. So here's my best wish-list for a Forever Home -- somebody who is home or can come home to feed me my small meals -- hopefully, I will be able to eat fewer times a day after I am a year old; somebody with other dogs and/or kids, cause I love them all; somebody with a nice yard for me to run in and somebody who can afford to take care of me, since I eat a lot of canned food and, if I ever did get pneumonia, I might need special vet care to make me all better. Are you my new family who will love me forever?? If you are, please call my foster mom and dad right away so I can meet you soon. They have an e-mail address: LM19115@aol.com or you can call our house at 215-969-4115 and leave them a message; I will be sure they call you back! That's my story and I am a really good boy and handsome and fun (mom says I have lots of self-confidence!) and I want to find my forever home soon. I have had my shots, but still need to be neutered. I am really good in my crate and will need a house that will use a crate to let me rest after I eat and to sleep in at night so I stay safe and sound. I sure hope YOU are my new family!

Bowie is about 11 months old and is a
cattle dog/red heeler mix. She is extremely intelligent. She is great with
other dogs, is leash and house trained and knows some basic commands. She
is an excellent candidate as a service dog, as she is very smart and
learns very quickly. Bowie thrives on human interaction and will not do
well in an environment where she is contained for very long periods of
time with nothing to do. She needs to be an indoor dog as she has
sensitivity to heat and bright sunlight. Bowie has some sight and hearing
loss due to having a mild case of Hydrocephalus, which at this point does
not cause her any problems, but a special home will be needed for Bowie
due to this. Bowie also LOVES other dogs, and we feel it is important that
if she does not have a brother or sister, that she has exposure to other
dogs routinely. She does love to be outdoors and is a great candidate for
a children's dog, she just needs to be kept indoors during the heat of the
day as most dogs do, and her time outdoors supervised. It is a must that
Bowie be an indoor dog primarily. She is special and sweet, and wonderful
and smart. She's very affectionate and LOVES her humans. Red Heelers are
very loyal, so you will have a forever, committed companion in Bowie.
Bowie is a very social girl. She loves to be with her people, and does
very well when allowed to be a part of her family. She is great with other
dogs, is very playful and loving. Bowie is crate trained and yearning for
her forever home. She is spayed, up to date on all her vaccinations and is
heart worm negative. She is a lovely, playful and gentle girl and will do
well in an environment where she can play and be loved by her people and
would also do well with children who can wear her out. She has a pretty
high energy level, so needs lots of exercise and interaction. Her
intelligence makes her a fun companion, as she likes games and to be
challenged. She responds well to training and touch, and knows a few
commands in sign language. Bowie's adoption fee is $100.

Betty is a sweet girl approx. 2 yrs
old. She has a birth defect where the bones in her back legs are twisted.
You can't see anything on the outside, but when Betty walks, she has a
funny gait. She can get around pretty good once she gets going and will
live with this her whole life. She is great with other dogs, is
housebroken, and is a great companion. She is low energy, and enjoys
relaxing with you. She cannot climb stairs and would need a home where it
is easy for her to get in and out. She weighs approx. 35lbs and her new
owner would have to be able to lift her on occasion (for instance to get
into a car). For more information on Betty, please contact Barbara at maverick426@verizon.net

Jingles is about 5 years old and lost
his home when his master got older and had medical problems making it
impossible for her to continue to care for him. Jingles had damage to his
nerves leading to his legs and anus at some point, probably from a slipped
disc. He isn't in pain but he had permanent numbness as a result. The
numbness is greater in one leg than the other. As a result, Jingles walks
a little funny and doesn't run like other dogs do. Because Jingles lacks
feeling in his anus, he occasionally will have fecal accidents in the
house but usually he is able to make it outside. Jingles would do best in
an older family with no small children. Probably, as a result of this
accident, Jingles is a little afraid in new situations so will need time
to adjust to a new family but should be settled in within a week or two.
He is doing well at his foster home at this time. To meet him, call
Chalene at 435-668-3531.

Connie is 3-4 years old,
house-perfect, good with everyone and other dogs - no cats - is physically
handicapped after losing two toes on her right rear foot. And Connie
is a very lucky lady. One of our volunteers at Southern
Maryland Spay & Neuter rescued Connie 14 minutes before she
was to be euthanized at a kill shelter because of her breed and the fact
she was pregnant. Our volunteer took her home and the next morning
she gave birth to 10 puppies! Connie was an excellent mom and is now
waiting for her forever home.

Wow! What a beautiful face! Tony is a stunning 2 year old German Shepherd. Wow! What a beautiful face! Tony is a stunning 2 year old German Shepherd. He’s friendly, happy, good with other dogs, and has a beautiful coat and coloring. At some point, a careless, heartless owner didn’t treat a trauma to Tony’s lower back and now he is both fecal and urinary incontinent. We can’t imagine the pain he endured from an untreated spinal fracture. Maybe he was hit by a car; maybe he was beaten by his owner. We rescued him from the shelter anyway in hopes that someone could see past his problem and the little surprises he leaves behind and give him a good life. He doesn’t require any medication and doesn’t need surgery. He’s doing well with his belly band and with a regulated schedule, he doesn’t have any accidents!! He’s doing so much better and is trying so hard to be a good dog. He is a strong, healthy guy. He walks fine, jumps, and runs just like any other dog. There’s some additional care that Tony needs but his big heart more than makes up for it. He loves his people and wants to be near them. He’ll come up for a body hug and then decide he’s not close enough and move in closer. Most German Shepherds aren’t as affectionate as Tony. Tony will stand still while you squeeze him tightly. Then, he’s in heaven. Please…think about making Tony a part of your family. He’s waiting for his special angel. Contact Robin at robin@sheprescue.org or see more pictures of Tony on our website at www.wgsr.org Tony is located in Los Angeles, CA. Watch his cute video! http://youtu.be/2hi7h0nlVAg |

This irresistible 9 month old pibble/mix is
“RALPH”! He is a total love muffin, super social,
snuggly, and good with other dogs!! He was rescued from a high-kill
shelter and has been waiting for a long time in boarding. Ralph is
neutered, up-to-date with shots, micro chipped, and HW negative. He has a
deformed leg due to the uneven growth of his bones.
When he becomes 13 months old the Vet said he can be re-evaluated and surgery “could be” performed only if it will benefit him and make him more comfortable, not for aesthetic purposes! His leg does not impede his joy or mobility, he is one happy dog! If you can help foster/adopt Ralph, please, call Terry F. at 609-240-9488. |

Peanut is a 10-12 week old St
Bernard/Mastiff mix puppy who was rescued from NC with his littermates.
He arrived to rescue in NJ to find his forever home. Upon arriving
to our rescue we noted how much Peanut was struggling to walk so
we rushed him to Red Bank Vet Hospital. He did not have any
fractures or torn tendons but based on his clinical prresentation the
MDs believe he may have a bone disease, either panosteitis or
hypertrophic osteodystrophy.
From what the MDs explained, this disorder
commonly strikes large breed puppies and causes period of acute sudden
lameness. There are periods of lameness lasting from average 2 weeks to
a month and it may shift from leg to leg. There is no specific treatment
for the disease. Since this condition is often very painful, painkillers
such as buffered aspirin or carprofen (Rimadyl) are recommended.
He must be on strict bedrest during these bouts.
Overall, the prognosis is considered good
for most puppies with hypertrophic osteodystrophy or panosteitis in
which they may have only one or a few episodes until they reach full
growth at about 18 months and since this is a disease related to rapid
bone growth most will not have issues once fully grown. Most puppies
fully recover from this disease. Occasionally, some puppies develop a
foreleg growth deformity (bowing or swollen wrist region) though in
worse case scenario the puppy may have life long growth deformity or
reoccurring bouts.
Even through all of his obvious pain, Peanut
is still wagging his tailing, trying his best to get to you and crawl up
to your lap to get rubbing and loving. He is very affectionate,
still rolling over to be rubbed and show no agitation when you pick him
up or rub him. He is being fostered in Old Bridge, NJ
and our website is www.luvfureveranimalrescue.org or
email luvfureveranimalrescue@yahoo.com.

Roxie is located in
Howell, NJ. Contact for Roxie is Tammy Boland at mattnbubba@yahoo.com
or (908)433-1796
Roxie is an 8 year old female spayed Jack Russel Terrier. Roxie has Addisons disease and has had bladder stones in the past. Addisons disease is a condition in which the adrenal gland does not produce a sufficient amount of cortisol in the body. Roxie is on prednisone and monthly injections from the vet. She also needs a special diet to prevent future bladder stones. Roxie is a completely happy and healthy girl as long as she is on her medications. Roxie is currently in a foster home with 3 other dogs and 4 cats. Although Roxie does well with her foster siblings she would much prefer a quieter house. She would love to be your lap dog! Roxie is very smart and listens really well. She would be a perfect companion for a retired couple or a work from home mom or dad. Please consider Roxie for adoption! |

Milo is a sweet little dog who just
loves everyone. Milo only weighs about 16lbs and he is about 4 years
young. He is great with other dogs but may annoy cats. He does not want to
hurt them. Milo is an affectionate guy who would dearly love a lap to lie
on or person to play with. He is house trained and has good house manners.
Milo does have environmental allergies. He requires allergy shots daily
but, in a few months, he will only require one vaccine per month. Worse
case scenario, the vaccines would be about $60.00 per month. According to
the Dermatologist, it will take a year to two years for Milo to develop an
immunity and he may not need the vaccines (very similar to children with
allergies). Our organization has paid for the testing-the expensive part.
This little guy really needs someone to rescue him and to love him for his
whole life. Could that good person be you? Jeanette Allard www.saintseton.com |

I'm writing to you in behalf of Ladybird, an incredibly sweet 3-4 year old Treeing Walker. She was found by a co-worker - in very poor body condition- running along the road. She took her to the vet, had her vaccinated, heartworm tested- negative, & dewormed. She was boarded for 3 weeks & no one claimed her. We had her spayed & placed her in a good home, she was great with her kids but the new owner noticed her regurgitating. She has the symptoms of mega-esophagus, & that owner couldn't keep her. We love her but we have too many dogs & too little space, time & money to keep her. She deserves better, so we just can't give up on her. She loves walking on a leash , riding in a car & playing with other dogs. She is an easy dog to care for, just soaked & mashed dog chow fed with her front feet on a ladder, then we waltz her to the porch for some snuggle time, with her body across my lap while I sit in a chair. She seems to understand the need for this & will lay her head on my shoulder while her food moves down. We feed her twice a day, & she has not had any problems so far. She is great with chidren, Guinea fowl, cats & other dogs. Julie Sweat con.troll@yahoo.com Cornelia, Ga. |

Are you looking for a great doggie friend? Ida might be just the girl for you. Ida is a 15 inch beagle and is about 6 years old; she is tri-colored and has a lot of red ticking as well. Ida gets along well with other dogs, but does not like cats, and would be happiest with no other small animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, or birds. She is very quiet and reserved – she is crate and house trained, but does not like to go outside without a person with her. Since coming to Sanctuary House [in Upper Fairmount, MD] last spring, Ida has had several seizures. At the present time she is not on any medication. Because other dogs sometimes attack a dog having a seizure, it is important for Ida not to be left alone, unsupervised, with other dogs. Ida needs an owner who understands epilepsy and is willing to love her unconditionally. Ida is looking for a quiet home; she likes to sit under the desk or cuddle on the couch and watch a movie. She is not a high energy doggie, and is usually content with brief walks or play time. Ida loves dog biscuits. Ida is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and has tested negative for heartworm, Lyme, Ehrlichia, and Anaplasmosis. She will be microchipped prior to adoption. Ida will travel to Easton, MD, to meet prospective adopters. If you are interested in adopting Ida, please email Sister Mary Winifred at sistermw@bwave.com for an application or call 410-621-0709 for more information. |

Mumbles is a young man estimated to
be about a year old. He was rescued from a "high-kill" gassing
shelter hours before he was supposed to be put down. He was found as a
stray and brought in to the shelter. Due to a limp, we believe he has
either been hit by a car, kicked or stepped on as a puppy. Mumbles’
bladder is atrophied. What likely happened is after his injury, he
could not empty his bladder and so it overfilled and the bladder wall was
damaged. Now, he is unable to completely empty his bladder because
it doesn’t have any tone. Having a chronically full bladder and
weak sphincter muscle, he is prone to infection and dribbling. His left
leg is a little shorter than the other one and that contributes to his
gate problems but is not a huge issue for him.
His spine shows evidence of a crushing injury where one vertebra is a little shorter than the others. At this time there is no pressure on the spinal column but there is a lesion on his spinal cord at the point of injury. This is the source of his deficit. He is now doing a course of prednisone in the off chance that there is some fluid around the lesion putting pressure on the spinal cord. The main issue facing Mumbles is the diaphragmatic hernia. The vets emphasized that this should be repaired soon because if an abdominal organ becomes wedged in the defect this will be extremely painful and life threatening. |
| The urinary and fecal
incontinence will not improve but can be managed. Mumbles is trying
a medication to improve the tone of his bladder wall. He can also
try PPA which some of the older spayed females take for the same
problem. You can also squeeze his bladder and help him empty it to
get more dribble-free time.
Regardless of ALL of these issues, he loves taking walks and is always smiling! He does very well in his crate and loves attention. He has been neutered and is up to date on all of his vaccinations. He is a very loving dog just needs someone who will understand his issues and his goofiness. If you are interested, please contact Lindsay at Linz9982@aol.com. I am located in Cincinnati, Ohio, but I am willing to transport him anywhere if it means a wonderful home! 0109 |

Hiya! I'm Fergie, and I'm a
sweetheart of a Boxer mix. I'm a youngster at only about 1.5 years old,
and I have been a very nice girl at the shelter. I am a special needs gal,
but the lucky thing is that I have already been diagnosed and have gotten
started on my meds. I have Diabetes Insipidus, which just means that
without my meds, my body doesn't retain water like it should.
I'm doing better already, though, so that's good! My foster mom mentioned that I've been a little mouthy and over-excited about visitors, so I will probably need some obedience training. I've shown myself to be very smart, though, so training with me would probably be a lot of fun. Won't you come meet me? Shayla Boesewww.noahsark.org shayla_boese@yahoo.com |

Mo-Mo is a 4yr old Boxer /
Great Dane / Mixed and was treated for Distemper. So far it appears there
will be a residual tick that is affecting his left leg muscles. As the
pictures show, he is active and it is not letting it get in his way. TMo-mo
is still available and being housed in my home. He is a sweet loving guy
who still acts like a puppy and very playful. Our family has taken him to
a local lake where he was just awesome going into the water. He did swim
in deeper water but only when we where they next to him. Mo-Mo is current
on all vaccines, neutered, and micro-chipped. If we could find a loving
heart and a happy home locally, we would place him at no charge as his
adoption amount has been taken care of already. If it is out of the area
and he has to be shipped, the adopting family would have to pay for those
services.
If you are interested, have questions, or to schedule a personal viewing, please contact Ms. Laurie Jane Eberle, volunteer for Love of Animals, Visalia Division, Visalia, California, at 559-799-3937 or LOAVisaliaDiv@aol.com http://www.loveofanimals.org/animals/detail?AnimalID=213112 2807 |

My name is Scooter and loving is my
game! I am a spry 4 years old, born 1-21-06. I am up to date on all
of my shots, I have been neutered and I just had a dental. I used to
live in a family with 2 big dogs, cats and teenagers. I love to play
with my small tennis balls: if someone will throw them I am a great
fetcher. I really love to have my tummy rubbed also. I will
happily sleep in my crate, but my foster Mom thinks that I would be just
as happy in her bed with my foster sisters.
I do have one problem. I was diagnosed with IBS, Irritable Bowel Syndrome. It is very well controlled if I stay on my special diet of d/d, potato & salmon. I CAN EAT NOTHING ELSE, NO TREATS. However, I think that ice cubes are great treats & you can’t go to the freezer without giving me one! ( I have been known to fake a pee just to get a treat!) If my IBS does flair up I will let you know in no uncertain terms that I need out NOW! I am such a sweet boy, won’t someone please give me the loving home that I crave?? I am being fostered in Ohio and am housebroken. Contact adoptions@smallpawsrescue.org for adoption information |

Hi everyone! My name is Arnie, and I
would love to be your best friend! I get along with everyone and love to
play! I walk kind of funny and lose my balance sometimes because the
doctors say have a condition called Myotonia Congenita. I take on the
world at a slower pace, but I don't mind--you should see my huge muscles!
Arnie is currently in foster care, if you would like to meet with him
please contact Animal House at 970-224-3647.

This is Braveheart and he had Demodex
mange. He is a very sweet boy, loving and thankful, that needs a
home. His condition has been completely under control and
only severe stress would cause him to have a relapse. He loves
other dogs but we suggest no more than one other dog in the home.
He especially plays well with smaller dogs; puppies, min-pins, etc. We
estimate him at about 3-1/2" years old. He has been neutered
and is fully vaccinated. Braveheart is on an Ivermectin/Vitiman
solution that he takes once a day. Thankfully this is an inexpensive
medication that has been very valuable in resolving his outbreaks. He is
crate trained, house trained and leash trained. His foster parents are
always working with him on recall training but due to his breed, a
pure bred Tennessee Treeing Brindle Coonhound, this is going to be an
ongoing process. He is still a "free spirit" and doesn't
always respond to a recall so he gets to run free only once a day at
most. His solo trips are to check out the neighborhood dogs and he
usually returns in 30-45 minutes. Braveheart would do great in a
home with a young boy or girl who likes to run. He loves
playing with children. His ideal home would be one with a boy/girl
about 10-12 living in a rural setting giving him some room to stretch
his legs with a lot of running. Braveheart is the perfect dog with
a treatable condition.

Meet Beau Lochlan
Beau is a 4-5 year old , 25#, Terrier mix that was trapped a few months ago in a swamp in Virginia after running wild for a few years. He was in a diminishing pack of feral dogs. After he was rescued he was eventually taken in by Just A Touch Rescue on his last day of life at the shelter:((. He is in a foster home in Upstate NY and has progressed very well. He has many medical issues but none life threatening. He has a broken spine, a fractures tilted pelvis, a fractures femur and a gun shot wound to the ankle and a hip that is not seated into the bone corrected due to the fractured tilted pelvis. These were all old wounds and fractures and it is felt they are to extensive to try and repair. He gets along quite well and rests when he has to. He plays and runs and is a true terrier at heart.. He has gained weight and has been treated for all his issues. He is neutered and up to date on boosters . He is now heartworm negative. He is potty trained and will bark to go out but still does not tolerate a leash. We believe some of his abuse was at the end of a leash or tie out. He does require a fenced yard and a quiet adult home. He enjoys pets and knows the routine of the house very well. Other than his crippled body from abuse he remains otherwise healthy He is potty trained, loves pets and belly rubs. Understands quite a few words and even knows some hand signals as he lives with some deaf dogs in his Foster Home. |
| He uses a dog door here and is also crate trained.
He grabs at my clothes as I walk by as if to remind me to stop and give
him a pat or belly rub. He is a blossoming flower and he is a beautiful
soul indeed. Beau does not deserve the life he has lived. He deserves a
forever home filled with love and care and comfort. He has suffered
enough.
If you feel you have that special home and heart for this true survivor please contact us at cascade@cnyemail.com. Or go to www.justatouchrescue.com for adoption info |

Theo is a 3 year old
miniature pinscher. He is chocolate in color and has a natural tail and
ears. Theo was hit by a car about 1 1/2 years ago and his owners at the
time did surgery to repair the pelvic fractures. After surgery the owners
saw that Theo had some fecal incontinence. He occasionally drops poop when
he is sleeping or if not let outside regularly. The owners kept him in an
outdoor kennel in cold Minnesota for a year before turning him over to
rescue. Theo has a paralyzed tail but it causes him no problems. He loves
other dogs and gets along with cats. His favorite thing to do is play with
toys. He also loves to cuddle with his foster mom. He is crate trained and
house trained....minus his occasional fecal incontinence. He has started
to go to physical therapy to see if he can regain any control and help
with his stiff gait when he walks. He is making great progress with his
walking gait but has still had issues with his fecal incontinence. Could
you be the one to show Theo what it is like to have his own family who
loves him and cares about him?
Theo is located in Minneapolis, MN
and if you would like more information about him you can e-mail Heather at
