Paw to Hand
by 
April Caldwell Free 
One day I see you as a stray,

You look into my eyes with so much to say,
Even though you cannot talk,
I hear your concerns in my thoughts

I tell you its gonna be just fine,
And you look up as the sun starts to shine, 
This time is different, he feels it,
As the hand comes to paw with such grace

God sent you to help didn't he,
As I leaned in and whispered, yes he did, 
As I reach my hand to your paw with such glee,
Now we will be together, forever be.

     

Year #11. Our rescue rolls on saving the lives of even more precious spotted souls and saying good-by to senior spots we have loved. We'd be honored to have you come celebrate with us. Help us reach year #12 by participating in our silent auction and raffle items and other fun picnic events. Our Dal-loween picnic is our one big fundraiser of the year. Please come out to give and show your support. The dogs count on your generosity. We look forward to seeing you and your fur-babies there!

"My dog is like my guru. Through her I've learned much about love and loyalty, courage and compassion, joy and despair; and best of all, living in the now." - Unknown

Let's Scare Up Some Adoptions!

We still have many looking for homes


September's autumn has brought us six more dogs, several of them medically needy. Joining us in rescue are TRAVISMISHA, CAPTAIN, JAMES aka HUDSON, CALYPSO, & ROSCOE. Three dogs are heartworm positive (TRAVIS, CALYPSO & ROSCOE) and are now undergoing treatment. We also had to treat CALYPSO's ear, which was badly infected and was very swollen by a hematoma. Poor little JAMES HUDSON did get his surgery to fix his broken leg and he's now on the road to recovery, though it to around $3000 to do it!

We did get some more adoption. Again, it was our purebreds who were the quickest to place. Lucky Dals FRANCIS, CAPTAIN, & LOLA found their forever homes almost immediately. Our mixes, SOPHIE & PIPPA, were also amongst the lucky dogs to find a home. 

So for 2014, with 14 dogs carrying over from 2013, we have 36 dogs adopted into loving homes. We increase our care-for-lifers to 15 dogs. This leaves our current responsibility caring for 30 Dals & dogs...  ANY or ALL could use SPONSORS! 

Your help is very much needed, especially getting these dogs noticed at events or shared on social media.

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

Pippa, the Puppy From Georgia 

Chased her way into a new home

 

Pippa & family
PIPPA was turned into a rural shelter in Georgia because she was chasing chickens. Well what 3-month-old puppy wouldn't chase chickens? PIPPA was transported down to Florida by many wonderful volunteers and fostered by new volunteers Zac and Amanda. PIPPA is so adorable it didn't take long Pippa & Palfor a family to want to adopt her. They needed a playmate for their young male Shepherd-mix. PIPPA has quickly found her way into everyone's heart and as new Mom Adriana says "we LOVE her!!!!" Thanks to all for saving the little chicken chaser.
