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 TRAVIS, MISHA, 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 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 for 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.
