My Pre-Owned Pet 

by

Elaine Hall

I found the cutest pre-owned dog

At our local pound.

He looked at me as if to say

Please don't let them pout me down.

 

His tail wagged-I saw him smile

Happy as can be.

Did I come to pick a dog today

Or did he just pick me?

 

I decided to check out the other dogs

Before making up m mind.

But no other seemed to greet me

Like that little friend of mine.

 

A pre-owned pet that someone left

Perhaps 3 years old or more.

But I didn't care how old he was

As we both walked out the door.

 

And as we got into my pre-owned car

Just before I started to drive.

We both looked at one another

Knowing he'd always be by my side.

Hello Dal Lover!   

  

 

We are only two months out now from our big 10-year rescue celebration! Saturday, October 12th is the big event. This year's event will be better than ever. We have some really awesome silent auction prizes, including two Delta airline tickets. Paul and Dave will be there playing their fantastic music to entertain once again.  Also, keep your eyes open, because on August 15th we'll be announcing a special commemorative 10-year DRTB t-shirt to go on sale. We hope everyone will order one and wear one on our special day. Mark your calendars and get your Dal-loween costumes ready. Hope to see EVERYONE there!!!

We Are Swamped 

A tsunami of dogs arrived this month

                 

Sandy
With a face like this we knew SANDY wouldn't be in rescue long.
Rain has been falling fast & furious here in Tampa... so has the rate of rescued arrivals. July must have been dump your dog month as we added 13 more. Joining us
 are SWEETIE, SAM (a return after 10 years), PURDY, GYPSY, MASON, FRED, DARCY, TINKERBELLE, DAX, RORI, SANDY, DIXIE and NASH. PATTY in GA and TUX (see below article) will also be joining us soon. We had fewer adoptions than intakes in July, quite a change from the previous month, and they are: PURDY, GYPSY, DALLY, RORI & SANDY. Happy life kids!!!

We began 2013 with 9 dogs carrying over from 2012. So far we have brought in 66 more dogs of which  are returns. Several old spots left us this recently, PADDIE, CHARLIE, & SINATRA, so we now have had 10 dogs cross the Rainbow Bridge under our care due to old age issues or illness. Our hearts break for their fosters who gave them love until the end. Our adoption count for 2013 is 50 dogs into loving homes. We still have the responsibility of caring for 30 Dals & dogs. ANY or ALL could use SPONSORS!Your help is very much needed.

Our Dals & dogs, in various stages of readiness, seeking their forever homes are:

Incoming "Perro" from Puerto Rico
Uno mas for DRTB!  

Dana & Chico now
Dana with son Chico, now to be called TUXEDO. 
Last September we received an urgent plea from a wonderful woman trying to help all the street dogs in Puerto Rico. She had found a Dal-mix and her puppy roaming the neighborhoods. Being on overload as usual, we agreed to take Dana (the momma dog) who looked more Dalmatian, but left Chico (her grown pup) behind due to lack of foster room. Now, the situation is desperate down there and gruesome things are happening to the street dogs. To try and help out a little, we are taking Chico who will be flying into Miami next week. Thank to volunteers Linda and Dick for fostering him. He's going to have a new life and a fitting new name - Tuxedo or "Tux" for short. Look for him on our Adoptable Pet Listings soon!
Strut Your Mutt
