Roxy's Transformation

Roxy’s Transformation

All of the volunteers know what a difference a caring foster home can make for a dog waiting to find their forever home.  Volunteer Jenn continues to amaze all of us with what she has been able to do with her fosters.  Roxy is, again, one of those cases. We originally thought Roxy was not...
Klaus aka Blitz is Safe!

Klaus aka Blitz is Safe!

The emails about a 13 year old German Shorthaired Pointer being turned into the shelter by his owner began circulating last Friday, the day he was turned in, thanks in large part to another dog rescuer being present at his intake and sharing the story. Had this been at any one of the other high...
Wally is Still Kickin!

Wally is Still Kickin!

We are lucky enough to have adopters that come back to us over time to adopt their new family member.  Marianne and her husband adopted a great one-eyed dog named Wally from us years ago.  Marianne is considering adding another GSP to her family and wanted us to see how well Wally is doing at...

Update – Star is a Traveling Dog!

Star found a special home when she was adopted. Now that Ron and Kathy are both retired, Star travels with them to all of her “homes”. The following is a recent update from Ron and Kathy: “Yes, she is a traveling dog! She loves to go, anytime of the day or night. Once she’s sure...

Roxy Rocks!

Roxy Rocks!

After a couple months at the spa, Roxy is rediscovering her bachelorette days. She’s lost weight, gained muscle, and is  looking more and more like the champion hunter she is. (Probably one of the reasons she was bred so often.) Roxy’s mellow around the house, she hasn’t chewed one thing she’s not supposed to and,...
Roxy is Looking Good!

Roxy is Looking Good!

One of the things we love most at the Rescue is seeing the transformation of the dogs. Roxy arrived looking like she hadn’t had much exercise and had had far too much to eat. In fact, she had been used for years by a breeder to produce puppies over and over again.  She ended up...
Earl ~ Pets Please

Earl ~ Pets Please

Earl loves pets and his expressive face shows it.  He is also wonderful with a ball and has been great with children in the field. He has clearly been trained to fetch a ball and bring it back, actually dropping  it right into your hand! However, when he puts the ball down he will roll...
