Adoption Pending Samantha is a 20-pound, little ball of energy, possibly a terrier/border collie or Pomeranian mix. She is a quick and very intelligent young pup. She has a slight neurological issue on the left side of her face, which makes her even cuter. Samantha gets along great with all the dogs. Samantha needs a strong and creative handler. We think she would make a great agility dog. She is very toy driven. She will definitely provide lots of joy and excitement to some lucky person. She is current on shots and spayed. Samantha was relinquished by her owners at a local shelter. |

Bo and Cash, almost two years old, need a very special person or family to open up their hearts and homes to both of them. They are both very laid back, easy going dogs. These two blind boys were being offered "free" at a tractor pull in Ohio when a kind person stepped in on their behalf and transported them safely to our rescue. Bo and Cash, are wonderful souls. They are very dependent and connected to one another and have never been separated. They are so happy to be in each others company; we would hate to see them separated. You have to see their actions together to understand. Our vet thinks they were either born blind or became blind due to lack of nutrition from their mother. Bo and Cash are small labs, about 45 pounds each. They are great with other dogs, cats and of course people. After a few short weeks, they were able to easily navigate their way around the rescue. They are both neutered, current on shots, and they also seem to be housebroken. For more adoption information please email. |

Bubbles, aka Rebel, adopted June 2009 Rebel, after a year of patiently waiting, finally caught the eye of a wonderful couple in Bel Aire Maryland. When we brought him to his new family Rebel now renamed, "Bubbles", it was as if he had lived there forever. His blindness was never an issue, they had room for another rescue dog, and Bubbles caught their eye! Bubble's will join his two new guardians, along with 2 other rescue dogs. Besides Bubbles getting a new home, I believe we have found great friends that will help spread the word on our mission Rebel is a 15-pound Doxle, a doxie/beagle mix. He was placed on the endangered dog list at our local animal shelter. Rebel has been rescued and thank goodness this little blind dog is getting a second chance at life. We are now looking for his forever home. Rebel navigates his way through life beautifully by his sense of smell and touch. Rebel is good with people, other dogs, cats, and is crate and house trained. Rebel would be a great companion dog and enjoys and needs the trust of people. |

Walker Coonhound. She was an owner relinquishment at a rural
Kentucky shelter. We are not sure how she lost her back rear leg,
but she is doing fantastic here at the rescue. Her favorite activity

some anxiety when she arrive here, but within a couple weeks

mix. This cute 8 pound bundle of energy was born or suffered a
neurological disorder which left her deaf and blind in her left eye.
She is a comical girl that will bring a smile to your face every day.

with the big dogs. She has fit into our rescue like a glove
and has learned the routine in a matter of days by following the other
dogs. She is a team player, respects the older dogs, and plays
with the younger dogs. She needs a patient caretaker that

Shaggy
needs Angels...
What we know about Shaggy... Shaggy a 6 month old, St Bernard mix, was found in the overnight drop box at our local shelter. We could not turn our back on this young pup that had been cast aside as disposable. Shaggy, has back leg problems, resulting from either birth, abuse or possibly being in a small crate. UPDATE: We had good news and some bad news on Shaggy's condition. Our vet confirmed that both her knees had been fractured either from growing up in a small crate or abuse. Only Shaggy knows what happened to cause this, and she's not telling us. But the good news is that Shaggy does not seem to be in pain and finally has freedom to exercise and strengthen her muscles in her rear end. Thru daily exercise and supplements to help rebuild the back area, our vet thinks her prognosis is very good. We have already seen great improvement in Shaggy's mobility in just a few short days while being here with us. She will just keep improving as her muscles get stronger. She is a happy dog, always wagging her tail, as if to say thank you for giving me a chance. Shaggy is playful with the other dogs, wags her tail constantly, but does tire quickly and is perfectly content watching the other dogs play around her. Shaggy is already regaining confidence in humans and realizes she is now in a safe haven. For more adoption information please email. If you are interested in adopting Shaggy, please complete our Adoption

Skye, a two year old
beautiful deaf husky mix was picked up as a stray at our
local shelter. After meeting Skye and looking into those
big blue eyes, we knew immediately she needed our rescue.
We have started teaching her basic hand commands, and she seems to be catching on quite quickly. She is desperate to learn how to connect to the hearing world and to trust human companionship. Skye's temperament is beyond awesome. She gets along with the other dogs in the rescue. Skye can be a little shy meeting new people, so will need guardians that will continue to build her confidence and are willing to understand and meet her needs. Please research the "husky breed" - prior to submitting an application for Skye For more adoption information please email. If you are interested in adopting Skye, please complete our Adoption Application

Pierce a 3 year old Border collie mix, came to our rescue recently, I would like to share a little snippet of the kind of life or no life Pierce experienced for the past 3 years. Pierce was part of a legal case that finally got resolve this month. (This was written by a volunteer at the local shelter in Pennsylvania) "Pierce, along with the rest, have endured the worst nightmare you can imagine - 3 very long years having to stay in a crowded kennel. There were many days when their kennel was the last to be cleaned because they were not being viewed by the public as their section was roped off due to the pending court case. No beds/blankets/toys. Days when in the heat and humidity of the summer, and one water bowl was not enough for four dogs and they would go without water. The floors were continuously wet because of either humidity or rain from outside coming in - drains blocked. Their food was thrown at them and always before they cleaned their kennel. None of the shelter workers (before the new law in January 09 was passed that all shelter dogs have to have at least a 15 minute walk a day) would walk these guys and it has been up to just a couple of very dedicated volunteers to keep them mentally and physically going." Now that Pierce is at Pets with Disabilities, we are beginning to realize in just a short period of time, he does not know toys, beds, car rides, biscuits, carpeting, furniture, cats, stairs, linoleum, or food dishes- he has been fed from cardboard "hot dog holders" and has known only this horrible existence his entire life. He doesn't know anything other than the horrid shelter that has been more of a prison than a safe haven since the day he was born. Paddy was his name when he came here to Pets with Disabilities but I soon realized his eyes were so piercing, as if to say "Thank you, I think I have finally landed safely!" |

Beside Pierce's 4 club paws, he will need time for his mind to reconnect with the world, a kind world. He will be able to relax here and slowly begin to trust that people can be very caring and loving and ultimately trustworthy. He has a very special person in mind - he is on a mission to rescue someone right back. My prayer will be that they find each other and that his time here with us will create the doors to open for Pierce to find his forever home. |
