*FOXTROT* The Neglected & Abandoned Shepherd

Oh My God! Oh My God! That was our reaction when we first laid eyes on this severely neglected and abandoned Shepherd we now call Foxtrot. Judging by the condition he was in, it was evident that this poor soul was confined somewhere, chained, and left to be consumed by external parasites, covering literally every inch of his body, including his eyes, nose, and ears.

Of course the first question that comes to mind is: Why? Why would anyone acquire a dog and end up treating it this way? Why? Although we will never know why...where...what or who, but one thing we do know is that life has not been kind to this stunning and regal looking Shepherd.

But luckily, this boy found his way to us and now we are doing everything possible to change the world for this beautiful angel, and show him that not all humans are evil....but most do care...we care!

Foxtrot has already been to our vet, has been groomed, and is currently receiving all the medical care that he needs, and will continue to do so until he is healthy, happy, and pain free.

We kindly ask that you keep Foxtrot in your thoughts; and any amount you can DONATE toward his recovery process would be greatly appreciated and much needed.

Matchmaking Process Unpredictable But Worthwhile

These brothers were placed together!
     For people choosing pets, the mutual attraction can be instant, or more involved. Last year, a man who came to look at Ada the Labrador after seeing her on our website declared, “I’ll take her!” when she approached with her tail wagging and rolled over for a belly rub. Last month, a cat named Zane convinced a woman to take him home by reaching out with a paw to stroke her grandson’s hair. Last week, young girls giggled at a Saint Bernard’s friendly slobber and got her to sit on command before telling their parents, “We want her!”
     

Both Jingles the pup and Dixie the Coonhound had numerous meet-and-greet sessions with other dogs before finding new families. The new owner of two kittens visited twice to decide to take them. Timing often plays a part; for instance, if you have an extended holiday off from work to get to know an animal addition, or if you’ve finally moved into a place with a big yard, or perhaps you need to wait until after remodeling the kitchen or returning from a trip, etc.|
      

Some visitors have voiced unique qualifications for dogs, including: will guard our horses but not get too close to them; will fit in the “U-shape” on the floor behind my truck’s driver’s seat; or a dog that “will eat what I make, because no one else in the family does.” Some potential cat adopters have requested one that will talk back, or “will watch my favorite TV shows with me.”         
      

In any case, we always want a standout match for both sides. Come by soon to make it happen! — L.K., volunteer
