Meet the Dogs

Lana is a very sweet ten-year-old boxer who wound up at Prairie Paws Animal Shelter (PPAS) as a stray. Her main goal in life is to cuddle as much as possible, so the staff knew that after a tune-up, she'd be ready for a forever home quickly.

Abigail is a tri-colored, eight-year-old toy Australian Shepherd who found a second chance at a happy home this past fall. She was surrendered to the Oregon Humane Society (OHS) when her owner of eight years could no longer care for her due to his own medical issues. 

Meet Carter! He's an 11-year-old Lab mix who found himself at the Humane Society for Hamilton County (HSHC) because his owners were moving and couldn't take him along 

Scotch is 11 years old and came to the Animal Rescue League of Iowa (ARL) when his owner was diagnosed with cancer and unable to keep him. Sadly, Scotch is in renal failure, has a heart murmur and various bumps on his body.

Rimsky, a 12-year-old Miniature Pinscher, has always had bad teeth. Even after a teeth cleaning a few years ago, his mouth was still very smelly and it gradually got worse.

Sweet Roxy, an adorable Cocker Spaniel, was surrendered to Live Love Animal Rescue by her owner after both of them had been living in a car. 

The mission of Tyson's Place Animal Rescue is to assist terminally ill people with finding new families for their pets. That's how Suzie ended up at Tyson's - her owner passed away at the age of 94 and so Suzie found herself looking for a new home. 

Bootsie is a very well-mannered, seven-year-old, happy little terrier mix. She ended up with our new grantee, Vanderburgh Humane Society (VHS) in Indiana, after her family could no longer care for her. 

Hacky Sack is an eight-year-old Basset Hound who wound up at West Valley Humane Society (WVHS) as a stray. It might have been a blessing in disguise for this handsome guy as he had quite a few medical problems, including kennel cough, eye discharge, ear discharge, muscle loss, overgrown toenails, gum loss and calcified plaque.

When 10-year-old Betty White arrived at Fulton County Animal Services (in GA), they were concerned she might not make it because she was so sick with a severe respiratory infection, heartworms and a heart murmur.

Dexter, a blind 12-year-old Shih Tzu, found himself at Madison County Illinois Animal Control after being surrendered by his owner. 

A few months ago, Benny was found outside as a stray by an animal control officer. At ten-years-old and barely eight pounds, the pup shouldn’t have been fending for himself out on the streets.
