Happy New Year! 

We haven't blown away, yet! With winds reaching 90 MPH it hasn't been fun. Full blood work was done a few days ago on Acey (she came in with bullets in her head). Acey was having panic attacks. It is now believed that it is because she is scared of the wind!  

As we start the New Year, we would like to hug each and every one of you! Because of your generosity, we were able to save yet another life already this year. You can read Peaches' story below. Your generosity and outpouring of love has been amazing, bless your hearts!  I smiled as I read each Christmas card. Many of your cards included pictures of your four legged family members, THANK YOU.     

    Here are some updates:

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  

   Chili Bean, who found himself in a kill facility last year, was doctored back to health. He was also adopted right before Christmas. He is doing GREAT. Thank you Patti & Les!

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  

   Funny (now Fannie) and Trixie who came to Pet Pals along with Joker in April of last year are doing great in their new home. Thank you Fritzen's! 

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   Hunter (now Tony) came to Pet Pals in 2003 from an owner who was going to shoot him. He was adopted, returned two years later and then adopted again. He is doing GREAT. Thank you Charlie & Kathie!

   Captain, collie, was adopted ELEVEN years ago. "He has a slight loss of hearing and a bone spur on his lower back but is otherwise healthy. He loves winter." Thank you Jeff & Laurie!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  

   Eagle was brought to Pet Pals in July of 2009. Not being socialized or trained, Eagle was a mess with a number of issues. Any city/county pound or rescue would have killed him. (Yes, some rescues kill and even some no-kill rescues kill.) We actually had to use a catch pole on him the first evening he came here. Good grief his teeth are big when he's wanting to eat you! LOL He's one of MANY that Pet Pals rehabilitated and adopted into wonderful homes. Thank you Julianne, Jeff & Ayden!   

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   Happy, black labrador, was found under a railroad trestle in Nebraska, taken in by a no-kill rescue, advertised on TV, money was collected for her veterinary fees and then she was going to be killed! Happy was brought to Pet Pals in June of 2004. She was adopted by a WONDERFUL couple who have stayed in touch with us for years. Her Christmas update reads:  "A sad note, Happy is nearly deaf but otherwise very healthy. I will adapt so she stays safe." Thank you Francie! We are sorry to read about her health issues.    

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   

  Cupcake (now Sasha), deaf English Springer Spaniel, was brought to Pet Pals in 2008. "Please keep Sasha in your prayers. At the vet yesterday they discovered 2 areas on her that had some growth and crusty skin. She is having surgery on the 23rd to remove and send to pathologist". Prayers being sent to Karen & Jim. Thank you for caring so much for this sweetheart!  

  There are hundreds and hundreds of updates. If I continue with the pictures and updates, it will be 2013!

What will the New Year bring? Each day is a gift from above. We never know, but we will continue to save lives.

 

Thank you again for your continued support. Have a VERY Happy New Year!
