Chow Chow Needs Home Home

Meet Woody. When an Animal Control Officer starting pleading for Woody's life we had to take notice. Then when both the vet and the groomer were complementary of his manner we knew we must have a great Chow.

Now, we have pictures to show the world. Behold this one year old neutered male who gives kisses and rolls over to have his tummy rubbed. He is good with other dogs, and just wants to hang out where it's cool.

We need an immediate foster or an adopter for this guy. Woody has charmed everyone who has met him so far. He is polite, curious, intelligent and sweet. Yep....he really is a Chow Chow! No mix in this guy!

If a picture is worth 1,000 words, now you have three thousand words to tell you this is ONE GREAT DOG.

Give us a shout to meet Woody.

Why we love Gayle Justice (UPDATED)

Gayle Justice is a dog trainer in the DFW area. She's been training obedience to agility to mobility service to aggressive dogs for over 25 years. One of her clients called her this morning. A 6 week old pup had been "let" into their yard overnight. When her border collies went out this morning, they found this surprise. Gayle is assisting her clients get this pup into a rescue group. If you know of anyone who may have an interest, let us know.

The story gets better. Gayle and her client are concerned that whoever left the pup in their yard over night may have left others in the neighborhood. So, they are off to look for more pups. In the Texas heat these guys won't last all day without food and water.

Great job Gayle.

UPDATE:

Thank you Molly with CCHS for taking this little sweetheart. She is quite the charmer and loves to cuddle. She also thinks the “big dogs” around here are nosy – they have all been checking on her and run to hubby and I if puppy makes a noise. “Quick Mom, she’s yelling!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to all for cross posting, little pup will be transported to a great group.

Sincerely,

Gayle Justice

A beautiful small dog looking for a home

Please contact Gail at can_rescue@yahoo.com

UPDATE: THE VETS PLACE HER AT ABOUT 4-5 YRS. OLD

We have officially named her Corazon ("heart" in Spanish) and call her Cora. She was found in a Sonic, going from car to car searching for her family. She would look up at every driver and wag furiously hoping they would open the door. One Good Samaritan did.

She will be fully vetted before adoption. BUT WE NEED A FOSTER HOME ASAP!!! She is currently playing with a Jack Russell (!!) and another dog, so she is just fine with dogs. Older children would probably be fine. We are told that Cora's coat is like silk and she is as sweet as they come.

German Shepherd: One Saved & Another in Need

Another wonderful GSD from Arlington Animal Services has made his way into a great home. Some of you may remember Barnaby. Sweet guy that Friends of Arlington Animal Services helped get to safety and all the way up to Wisconsin where a kind GSD rescue took him in.

Here's what the rescue organization has to say about Barnaby's new home:

He has a great home with a couple (husband and wife) who are dog trainers....

Barn's family includes a sweet little 4 yr old pitbull mix dog (female) named Cookie - exceptionally well trained and behaved! Barn will have his work cut out for him!

The family also has 2 children - a boy, age 5 and girl, age 3. The parents report that Barn has been very sweet to them (as I would have expected).

The family lives in a lovely home in Williams Bay, WI, which is a serene little lakeside hamlet that has become popular as a resort town with affluent Chicagoans.

The adopters *discovered* Barnaby during a pet expo in which we both had exhibitor booths directly opposite one another. Barnaby was our *meet and greeter* that day, and the adopters were very taken with him and how well he held up to all the public attention.

Thanks to Wag Times in Arlington, FAAS, Helen, Dianne, Christine and countless others who got Barnaby to safety. And a big thanks to the adopters and to

Dalmation (Almost a siberian husky)

Hello out there in dogland. The Perkins and Dalmation Rescue of Colorado have been at it again. Meet Lily. How incredibly gorgeous is she! Lily just loves all her foster brothers and sisters. And, she's a big fan of running underneath the stars. If you know anyone in the market for a cute and very friendly and funny Dalmation, make sure to contact Dal Rescue of Colorado.

Siberian Husky Pair Ready for Action

When The Colony received a pair of large husky males surrendered by a family going through a divorce, Metroplex Mutts answered the call. Now we have a really sweet and very vocal pair of huskies looking for a forever home. They have begun a new diet and exercise program to get them into shape. Thankfully, as we know, these guys can drop some pounds fast when properly motivated.

Typical of male huskies, they are quite the love bugs! We know how difficult it is to find someone to take a pair of huskies, but these guys need to catch a break. They are house trained and past the destructive years.

If you know of a foster or adopter, please contact Metroplex Mutts. If you'd like to see these boys, Metroplex Mutts does have events scheduled for as early as this weekend. Let's show our support for this group agreeing to take on a pair of sibes please! Spread the word and stop by and help them too.

People Care!

Every day we see tons of animals in need, but we also find some awesome stories. Joe Skenesky at Carrollton Animal Services is one of the good guys in Animal Control for sure! He goes way above and beyond to keep his live release rate as high as possible. Wait until you hear this story. It's so amazing. Thanks, Joe for caring enough to save Ms. Candy. AND.... GREAT JOB Operation Kindness! If you are looking to adopt, volunteer, or donate, check out both the City of Carrollton Animal Services and Operation Kindness (www.operationkindness.org). Great job everyone.

Now for the story from Joe:

This little lady we name Candy came into the shelter last week as a stray. She was a very much on the scared side and a little very nippy and if we approached her, she charged at us. Because of her being nippy, and growly we had decided that she was not a candidate for adoption or rescue. She was slated to be euthanized this morning.

Because of her unadoptable status we removed her from the main kennel area to a more isolated and quiet area. Well over to the last few days her demeanor has completely changed, she is now a much nicer lady and looks forward to her daily walks. She has also began allowing us to pet and love on her as much as we can. Though we still were not sure if she had changed enough for a safe rescue.

So this morning as I was taking her to the euthanasia room she came out of her kennel run excited for her walk (not knowing anything else), after stretching for a second or two, for the first time since being here she rolled over on to her back with her tongue hanging out to have her belly rubbed. I put her back into her kennel run and decided that I had to find her a rescue to go to.

She is a about 3-5 years old and very, very matted to the point she may need to be sedated for grooming but I am sure once she is groomed she will be a beautiful lady. She seems to do ok with other dogs, mainly ignores them. When she arrives at a new location she may be scared at first like she was here but once she adjust her true gentle nature pours out of her.

I can hold her until next week, but I would really like to see her go sooner so she can be groomed and finally be able to move with out all those nasty knots holding her back.

If you can help her please let me know. She can only go to a 501c3 rescue agency.

Happy beginning: Operation Kindness heard Joe's plea and rescued Candy. She'll be available soon!

Shila Searching and Others in Need

Do you know a home for Shila?

Shila is a little over a year old and weighs about 40 pounds. She is playful but not hyper and is vocal, but sings very quietly! I believe Shila would do well as a companion dog as long as the other dog was fairly easy going. Probably best for children over 10 just because of her energy level. Shila will need to go to training classes to reach her full potential.

In the meantime, here's a list of a few of CAN's new dogs in need of sponsors.

We have had an extraordinary amount of medical bills the past month and we really need financial assistance, as well as foster homes.

TAO - is a pure bred male Shar Pei, 3 years old. He came to us in very bad condition and heavy heartworm infestation. For his safety, we are giving him three immiticide injections and he seems to be doing fairly well. His skin is starting to heal nicely, too. Tao MAY be going to Shar Pei rescue in Virginia. If not, he will need a foster home asap!

MILO - is a Cocker Poodle male - 6 months of age. His owner surrendered him to us because Milo had Parvo (he was never vaccinated). He was in the hospital for a while on IVs and antibiotics and that bill was substantial. MILO NEEDS A FOSTER HOME DESPERATELY. HE IS STILL AT THE VET'S OFFICE.

ROMEO -- Romeo is one of the dogs a co-worker surrendered. He is a 6 yr. old Schnauzer. Romeo was blessed to have a wonderful woman apply to adopt him. He went to her home on Monday night. Tuesday morning she took him to her vet for a complete senior wellness checkup. (We had already had him vaccinated and heartworm tested.) Romeo has a severe urinary tract infection and also has kidney stones. He will need surgery and the estimate is $1000 for this surgery. After being given away by his owner, he now has this obstacle to overcome. PLEASE - any amount is appreciated. We need to reach this goal to schedule his kidney surgery.

UMA - Uma is a little female Chihuahua. She was found on a country road with open wounds. The vet believes she was attacked by another animal. Her injuries are serious, but he does believe she will survive. Many wounds cannot be sutured, so she has drains for now. She will be at the hospital at least another week.

Also available at Arlington...

Sitting at Arlington Animal Shelter with the clock ticking in just a few days are a beautiful young female Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever (my neighbor adopted a male that must have been at the same location as he was sunburned too) and a very happy white male husky with brown eyes.

If you aren't familiar with the retriever, she's quite a bit smaller than a golden or lab, but just as friendly and smart. The Husky/GSD is always smiling. He's definitely got some clown in him.

We need some adopters for this guy and gal. Give me a shout if you'd like more information, or contact Arlington Animals Services directly.

Please pass this em far and wide. Someone is going to really thank you for these fun loving dogs!

Thank you!

Meet Festus (aka Scott) from Denton

Festus, aka Scott, landed in the Denton shelter at the spry age of somewhere around 10. The shelter volunteer, Amy, and a sponsor took pity on him and took him to a vet for a full blood panel and check up. The vet said he had the worst ear infection he'd seen in a long time, and his ears are a work in progress right now. He is very hard of hearing probably. Festus has been started on thyroid medication., but otherwise his blood panel was normal. Amy is not at all set up for keeping another dog long term, and someone must step up for Festus ASAP before Amy is forced to return him to the shelter. After all, Festus is only out on loan. The sponsor really wants this dog saved, and is working diligently to find a forever home for this senior designer dog.

Amy reports Festus has really taken to a life indoors with treats, toys and love. He follows her around everywhere. Festus is a great candidate for a senior for seniors program, as he is pretty laid back. Can someone find a friend or neighbor for this fellow?

Amy and the sponsor do so much for rescue. Let's help them get the right result immediately.

Thanks.
