FLASH:
After Carla placed her picture and description on the Internet, 8 year
old "couch potato" sable, Mandy was adopted by a couple from west Central
Florida whose Sheltie (looking like Mandy) had recently died. Mandy has
a Sheltie companion there, too, who was mourning the loss of the older
dog.
Mandy's previous humans were
an elderly couple who entered a nursing home.
DID
YOU KNOW? It is FEDERAL LAW
that you can have companion animals in Independent Living and most Assisted
Living facilities. However, nursing homes and some assisted living facilities
(e.g., for Dementia) are another story.

Rescue
dogs who have touched our lives and hearts in the past:
| Oscar was adopted
by a couple from Panama City! This big beautiful two year old sable fellow
now has his very own dog to play with too! |
ROCKY
|
This is Rocky, a
sable merle male who lived on the streets for about six months. At some
point he was hit by a car and his rear leg was broken. By the time, he
was captured and turned over to our rescue his leg had healed to the point
that the vet felt it couldn't be set, and that he would be better off with
his leg amputated or left as is. Rocky's new owners searched and found
a vet who was willing to give surgery a try. The surgery was a success
and now he has full use of all four legs! In fact, Rocky now loves agility!
|
Teddy Bear really
is! He is a big tri male who was rescued from the local pound. Teddy needed
someone to spend time with him. He went to a great home where he
goes to work on a plantation with his new owner every morning and then
has afternoons at home by himself.

Rescue Dogs come
in all sizes, colors, and temperaments. They may be found stray, retrieved
from the pound, left behind by the death of an owner, or even turned over
by their previous owners. Regardless of where they come from, each dog
is special and we try to match them up with the perfect permanent home.
When we receive a dog, she or he is checked throughly by a vet, given all
needed medical attention, brought up to date on shots, and spayed or neutered.
Rescue Dogs can make wonderful pets for a family that is committed to them.
Rescue Dogs have been known to go to their new homes and after training
enjoy competing in dog's sports such as obedience or agility. If you have
extra love to give please consider a Rescue Dog.
