Meet the Dogs

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.

Pickles is a seven-year-old Chi-Weenie who found himself at Shelter to Home after his owner decided to let him go. No one knows why this handsome little man was surrendered, but they do know that he is a sweetheart eagerly awaiting his new forever home.

Blueberry found herself at the Leon County Humane Society (LCHS) at the age of eight because her owner could no longer care for her. She had been diagnosed with pyometra (uterine infection) and required an immediate spay surgery and medications to save her life.

Nobel had a heartbreaking start to life. For a decade, he was neglected and forgotten. Nobel was chained to a tree for ten years. And then finally, he was rescued. NMDOG, a new Grey Muzzle grantee, saved him and changed his fate.

Maria found Sebby in Sebastian, Florida, and that’s how he got his name. Sebby was found in a deep ditch full of trash. When Maria saw him, she didn’t hesitate to get in the ditch to rescue him and then nurse him back to health. 

Meet Lucie! She’s an eight-year-old black lab, who ambled into a gas station parking lot off the side of busy Highway 17 in South Carolina, looking for food. 

Jackie came to the Animal Rescue League of Iowa (ARL) when her owner was moving and could not take Jackie along. She is a beagle mix and about nine years old, and even though she has quite a lot of health issues, you'd never know it if you met her.
