Frozen February
Still need fosters for us to help dogs
While most of February was a literally frozen for much of the USA, DRTB seems to have hit a freeze of its own due the lack of foster space. We simply have no place to put intakes. One dog that was able to join us is TUBBY who finally arrived from the Village of the Forgotten & Lost in GA. Sadly; there are about 60 more dogs in desperate need of help back there. Returning to rescue in February are HONEY and ANNIE. We still have an agreement to help find homes for some Qatar Dalmatians, JAKE & JACOB, who are due to arrive in April. Lucky Dal-gal, GRACIE, was adopted this month to a family who will keep her car climbing ways in check. Lastly, we said goodbye for now to PRINCESS, the senior Dal from Jacksonville who was dumped because she whimpered in pain from arthritis pain. She had nearly another year with us and a lifetime of love.
So for 2015, with 4 dogs carrying over from 2014, we have taken in an additional 4 dogs, 2 returnees, and 3 have been adopted into loving homes. We have 14 care-for-lifers, leaving our current responsibility of caring for 20 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:
|
|
|
Tubby
|  Honey |
Jake pending arrival
|
Jacob pending arrival
|  Annie |
We list all our adoptable dogs on www.Petfinder.com. PLEASE let us know if you can help these dogs with a loving home or getting them to events so that they might get adopted!

Far From His Life on a Chain
Alfie finds his home with DRTB's Kimber
Handsome "Alf" was found wandering as a stray with a broken chain around his neck. He was not neutered and worse, had untreated entropian, a painful condition, in both eyes. Thanks so much to Gregg P. for fostering this beauty and Pat H. for transporting him. Also, Dr. Hong for doing his eye surgery at a very discounted price. Alf is another example of how your donations help Dals in need get the help they so desperately need to live a life free of cruelty.
Comments from new owners Jordan and Nick:
"Alfie has been a great addition to our family. Kimber and Alfie are best buds. They enjoy taking naps together, playing outside, going on walks, and going to daycare. Alfie has been through a lot in the past few weeks but he has been a trooper through it all. He loves laying in our laps and getting lots of cuddles. He melts like putty in our hands and is one of the sweetest dogs we have ever been around. Alfie wins the heart of everyone he meets. Our neighbors love getting their Alfie love and he has charmed all of the staff at doggy daycare. Alfie is most certainly a charmer and he has made himself right at home with us. We are so thankful to have this sweet boy as a part of our family!
