Meet the Dogs

Those of us who have lost a pet know the heartache that comes with it. This past year, the pandemic has exacerbated that pain.

Daisy, an eight-year-old Chihuahua mix, arrived at PAWS Atlanta just before Christmas.

Fourteen-year-old Foxy was picked up as a stray in Virginia. She arrived at Richmond Animal League (RAL) with severely matted fur, cloudy eyes and a tongue that stuck out the side of her mouth.

Gecko had never been touched by a human his entire life. Rescued by NMDOG from a hoarding and neglect situation, they found him living in a hole he had dug with minimal provisions.

Adorable, ten-year-old Frenchie had bad doggy breath. Like many of us, her owner had not appreciated the importance of good oral hygiene throughout her life, and so Frenchie needed a little help to have a healthy smile.

Beauregard is a sweet, completely blind and deaf Shih Tzu. He was transferred to Pawmetto Lifeline and arrived matted, hungry, wet and freezing. This poor 17-year-old boy had been through a lot!

Jelekeco and Geri have both experienced multiple lay-offs due to COVID-19, so when their 11-year-old pit bull Rhino got sick, they needed a little help.

Jill is a darling, eight-year-old Jack Russell Terrier mix with a very spunky personality. This active girl came to the Animal Protective Foundation of Schenectady (APF) last fall as a stray. 

Leah and Jayde arrived at PAWS Connecticut together after their owner went into a long term care facility. The sisters had been bounced around with family members and finally ended up at the shelter.

Sweet Maggie Mae was found injured on the side of the road in Georgia. She had a broken leg and her back was obviously hurt, so animal control figured she was probably struck by a car. 

It has taken a village to save Levi!

He came to Austin Humane Society (AHS) from the Louisiana SPCA in partnership with the Houston SPCA during the crisis response to Hurricane Laura this past fall. This senior pup had obvious cataracts and loss of vision.

Ridge, a nine-year old collie mix, was found abandoned in an old house with other dogs. They were left with no food or water. Sadly, Ridge was picked on by the other dogs and had bite marks all over his body.

Sweet Paw Paw came to Mostly Mutts Animal Rescue and Adoption, Inc. in Georgia from a puppy mill bust. He had spent his whole life living in confinement and used as a breeding dog.
