Give Homeless Pets Hope and Happiness

Meow! I'm Sari, only 5 months old.
Meow! I'm Nokia, a Siamese mix.


As we embrace the holiday season with wishes of peace, joy and love, we thank every donor whose contributions provide haven, hearts and help for all of our “furry residents.” That includes three kittens rounded up after escaping a box with no lid left near a busy street: Sari the Tortie-colored girl; Nokia the female Siamese mix; and Sunrise, an affectionate male orange tabby. Each will be only five months old this December. 
Meow! I'm Sunrise, a male kitten.
     Although this year is ending, the necessity of animal rescue never does. Remi is a handsome purebred Vizsla whose life was in jeopardy at the pound. He’s safe now at our shelter, awaiting adoption. Come by soon to meet this medium-sized dog who longs to be someone’s loyal companion. Another recent intake is Brandon the young German Shepherd. Constantly tied-up as a puppy, he has abundant energy and eagerness. Luckily, we were able to intervene when Brandon was being taken to the pound.
Just like each month in 2013, each dog and cat here has something different to offer. Find out which ones could be your next family member! – L.K., volunteer (UPDATE: all adopted!)

Faithful Fellow Deserves Similar Devotion

   The bond between a young dog named Jason and a kind stranger is powerful proof of canine loyalty. Living on the streets in a bad neighborhood, the Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler mix was often beaten and terrorized, resulting in a broken leg. He always lingered near the home of a lady who sometimes provided food, but was not able to  take him in. Distraught at his obvious suffering, she asked a friend to get Jason and call rescues. Only Pet Adoption Fund stepped in, providing medical care then placing him with wonderful people. However, Jason soon escaped his new, secure surroundings. He clearly was on a determined journey, because with each sighting the distance increased. Finally, on the third day, Jason approached and followed someone walking her dog. Tired and hungry, and with an injured leg, he sat on their porch during heavy rain. Able to get contact information from microchip details, the woman contacted us. Jason was by then at least 20 miles away from his adopters’ location. Amazingly, he was on a street that would lead straight to the home of the Good Samaritan who gave him a few meals not too long ago. We know Jason will be very devoted to the owner he gets to know, who will share lasting love.
