Meet the Dogs

Goofy came to Shelter from the Storm Animal Rescue this past spring as a breeder release. Once this eight-year-old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel was in their care, he received a comprehensive medical evaluation revealing a heart murmur, ear infection and severe dental disease.

Millie came to the Animal Rescue League of Iowa (ARL) when her owners were moving and were unable to take her along. Upon arriving at ARL, she was given a full medical evaluation and, sadly, the staff discovered this darling 12-year-old rat terrier is in renal failsure. So, they began a hospice foster home search to suit her special needs and provide her with TLC during her last months.

Valerie came to Richmond Animal League (RAL) from a partnering animal control agency last year. Her human had passed away and there was no-one to care for her.

Leah came to Saving Paws Rescue AZ (SPRAZ) from Maricopa County Animal Care and Control. This nine-year-old German Shepherd was not well cared for--it was obvious she had been used for breeding all her life.

Sweet little CiCi was surrendered to a local shelter in Michigan when her owner went into hospice care and there were no family members able to take her in. As with so many little dogs, this eight-year-old Chi mix had bad teeth and desperately needed a dental.

Goldie is a wonderful and loving ten-year-old Coonhound mix who ended up in a rural shelter in southern Ohio. She was so good and so quiet that those who ran the shelter seemed to forget she was there.

Oreo is one tough little cookie! This ten-year-old Shih Tzu was straining to urinate for a few days. After she passed a small bladder stone on her own, her family was hopeful her symptoms would resolve. However, soon she stopped eating and drinking and became very lethargic.

Gunner is a ten-year-old beagle mix who was adopted by Knoxville senior, Mr. David, through the Knox PAWS program. Mr. David previously had a long-time Knox PAWS dog who had recently passed away from cancer.

Sweet, ten-year-old Faye found herself at the shelter after her elderly owner fell ill and went into a nursing home. She was not doing well in the shelter environment, so thankfully, ended up in the care of our first-time grantee Get A Bull, Inc.

Louis has been helped by Upper Peninsula Animal Welfare Shelter (UPAWS) not once, but twice! Back in 2014, Louis was found as a stray and brought to the shelter. After his stray hold period was over, he was adopted out to a new home.

Though his time with NorCal Boxer Rescue was short, they will never forget Gordon. This sweet, gentle, senior boxer was abandoned by his family in his own backyard. He remained there alone for over two weeks before animal control was contacted and he was picked up. Because they had an open foster home willing to care for this beautiful senior boy, they were able to take Gordon in right away.
