HAPPY TRAILS FOR THE "B" PUPS!


Boone

You may not know about the "B" Puppies (aka "The Proctor Boys")- as they were rescued and quickly spoken for by one of our rescue partners. As a result, you all did not have to endure lots of begging and pleading for foster homes and funds from us for these cuties:)

Boone, Blake, Billy and Baxter all left on transport last weekend to New England where they are sure find loving families!

A special thanks to Reefie & Mike Marconi, Misty & Jill, and Colleen & John Criner for all of their hard work and help saving the Proctor Boys. In this case it really took a village to save these guys, even complete strangers stepped up to help save these pups!

You can read the story of the Proctor Boys' rescue on Jill Denton's Blog:

HOORAY FOR BUDDY BOY!


You all may remember Buddy - his mug was the profile picture on the PAWS Facebook page for many months.

Buddy was rescued by one of our foster parent's when he was found wandering in front of someone's car. He is just the sweetest boy - it is amazing that nobody ever came looking for him. Perhaps he is a former hunting dog that was not good at his job, as he loves all four-legged and two-legged animals.
Buddy was with us for quite sometime as he tested positive for Heartworm disease and had to undergo treatment before he could be considered for adoption.

The good news is that Buddy's wait paid off! Last week he headed to our partner rescue in New England - where we are sure that he will have families fighting over who gets to take this gorgeous hunk home.

We are looking forward to sharing updates and pictures from Buddy's new family!


Thank you to Terri for fostering Buddy and to our friends up North for helping to find this special boy a home that will cherish him.

LURCH & MAGGIE - TWO SWEET PUPS NEED YOUR HELP


Lurch is such a love - please help him!

We have two heartworm positive pups who desperately need your help to find their way to a new beginning.

Pup number one is LURCH - a 1.5 year old Bassett Hound mix. Poor Lurch was found as a stray by a good Samaritan. She took him in and brought him to the vet to check for a microchip and update his shots. Of course no microchip was found.

The story becomes more tangled - as Lurch's rescuer recalled seeing an ad for re-homing him on craiglist a few weeks prior. She located the ad and called Lurch's previous owner who said that she had given him away. Lurch's new family was then contacted - they responded "we don't want him any more." So perhaps Lurch was dumped - and not intentionally wandering..Poor poor pup.

This boy is so sweet! It seems crazy that he has been dumped over and over again in such a short time. Lurch is currently living with a Rottweiler and a mini Dachshund and fitting in well! Please help us to help him find his way to a new beginning and better humans. Chip-in today!





Pup number two is MAGGIE.

Poor Maggie was by one of our foster homes running down the side of the road this summer.

Of course they could not leave her there in the heat, so when they stopped Maggie came right up to them and jumped in the car.

Maggie is only around a year old - but of course she has tested positive for heartworm disease.

She needs your help to fund her treatment so that she may get the chance at a new life that she deserves.

Please help Miss Maggie find her new beginning - chip in and share her story far and wide.


Thank you for caring about our pups!
