Making a Difference . . .

PENELOPE Meet Penelope, the sweetest soul you’ll meet. She is approximate 8 years old, 12lbs and as a Wheaten Terrier mix (she does not shed). She loves hanging out with you on the couch, exploring the yard, taking a nap while you work or wandering the neighborhood in her wheelchair. Penelope was found as a stray and brought to the local shelter, we don’t know much of her backstory but she clearly was someone’s pet until they dropped her as she enjoys human company and is so loving and well behaved. She cannot use her back legs due to (likely) IVDD but that does not stop her: she took to her wheelchair right away and let’s everyone know how happy she is. Having a paralyzed dog is not as scary as you think: the adjustment is easy and we are happy to guide you through it. Penelope deserves a great home and we hope that you are it and fall in love with her as much as we did! She is of course spayed, up to date on vaccines and microchipped. She need some help to pee: we are happy to show you how to. Interested in becoming a forever home for Penelope?

SCRAPPY After her former owner found herself in an assisted living home, Scrappy found herself in need of a new home and a new person. But with eyes that draw you in begging for love, luscious neck rolls that require generous rubs, and the gams of a dancer, Miss Scrappy Doo may not be on the market long! Scrappy loves to lounge. She comfortably sprawls herself on the couch or flops down on the floor relaxed and at peace as long as you’re nearby. Her ideal date would also include a front seat at the window, some jerky treats for snacks, and one paw draped across your lap. However her tail will begin wagging when you ask her if she wants to go for a walk, and if she realizes her “walk” involves a car ride she jumps all the way to the car, excited at the chance of an adventure in the park, to go on a hike, or a casual stroll near the canal. Scrappy has so much love to give to her person - she is gentle and sweet with them, but can be over protective. She also has no problem telling you what she needs through her barking and whining. Barks while you eat (though she stops and rests by your feet within minutes) or as a warning when she perceives a threat (she is still nervous around men, and people entering the house), whining to go out (or be let in the bathroom, luckily this smart girl hasn’t perfected lock picking yet), or rolling around on her back demanding belly rubs. This girl is ready for the best part of her forever to begin. If your heart is big enough for this beautiful girl, send in your application today!

Thank you so much to the Petfinder Foundation for providing an Emergency Medical Grant for Coupe's surgery. The money was used to pay for Coupe’s surgery to remove a mass on his adrenal gland, in the hope it would help reduce his ailments. How did this grant help your organization and the pets in your care? We successfully raised the rest of the needed funds and moved forward with the procedure. |

Thank you to Babe's Hope for helping with Coupe's Surgery. |

Getting a dog cross-country is no easy task, getting 20 or more at once is a labor of love! We send our dogs rescued from shelters and homeless situations in Oklahoma, to New York and New Jersey, where there are many more people to give them homes.
Will you help us get a cargo van to move these dogs to their new homes? Our goal is $75,000. Thank you for your consideration! We're grateful! |
