TERRENCE HAS TURNED TO A LIFE OF CRIME...


Terrence in the back - avoiding the press!


Terrence's accomplices

This just in from Terrence's adoptive family:)

After a year of evading arrest, Officer Maximum Mcguilicuty has captured two fugitives tonight. Sampson and Memphis T (formerly Terrence), both of Raymond NH, have been suspected in a number of highly sophisticated cookie robberies in Raymond as well as surrounding towns.

Officer Max broke the case late Friday night after following a trail of crumbs back to the duo's downtown headquarters.

Arrested at the scene was also the cool cat trio, consisting of Zachary, Madison and Andy. They are currently being held on charges of receiving stolen property, as well as aiding and abetting known felons. Sampson and Memphis T (Formerly Terrence) are expected to plead guilty to the charges in the hopes of a reduced sentence. Officer Max is expecting a promotion after breaking such a huge case.

More details on news 9 at 11.

Happy Halloween!

MORE UPDATES ON PAWS ALUMNI!


Lexi & Angel wrestling

We just received this cutie picture of TWO former PAWS dogs. Lexi and Angel were adopted by two related families and now enjoy regular play dates. Below is an update from Angel's adoptive family. Enjoy!

Sorry to have taken so long to report in on Angel, but I've been trying to get a decent picture of her playing with Lexi. They hit it off just great. This is the best I could do.

Lexi outweighs Angel by about ten pounds, but Angel is faster. Angel shows no effects of the heartworm problem of last winter. Can't thank you enough for the help. Through that whole time she was awfully good.

The little ragmop on the chaise is Ricky. He's a two year old Shih Tzu, that my other son adopted from the Animal Refuge League in Westbrook. He holds his own quite well with the other two.

It was really a riot all summer watching Angel, after running around and heating up, just stop and walk down the pool steps, swim in about a six or seven foot circle and come out and start running again.

Lexi and Ricky aren't quite into the pool thing like Angel is. If someone takes them in, they don't panic though. They just swim to the steps and get out.

Now that school is open, Lexi doesn't get here as much as she did during the summer. They have a great time together though. Lexi is doing very well also. Both of them just love everybody they meet.

Angel has been an angel since day one. She gets a little talkative when she wants someone to play with her, but that's to be expected.

Of course she spends her nights on our bed -- usually under the covers. She usually goes out about 7:00, and then heads in to bed. Most of the time she's the last one out of bed in the morning too. Spoiled rotten, but worth it.

Thanks again for a great dog.

ANYONE HAVE A CARGO VAN WE CAN BORROW?


We have a load of pups heading North on the weekend of November 5 - and as usual - the list of dogs needing a ride has grown since the planning of this rescue roadtrip!

We started of with 8 dogs and a mini-van to carry them in - and now we are up to 15 dogs and a minivan that does not appear to have grown with the increase in numbers! If we cannot find a larger vehicle - some of the pups will have to stay behind...

If anyone has a large van/cargo van that we can borrow from 11/5 - 11/8...we would greatly appreciate it...and so would the pups who have been waiting for their chance at a forever home. We are only driving as far as Virginia -- so not too much wear and tear.

If you can help - or know someone who can - please contact Leanne, 901-489-2470, lnbslacker22@yahoo.com.

UPDATE ON KALEIGH!


Kaleigh -- loving her new life!

We just posted an update on Kenny - one of Kaleigh's pups - and today we receive the below update on Kaleigh as well!

It is hard to get a good photo of Jenny (aka Kaleigh) because she is not still much. I really wanted you to get to see the amazing tail she grew.

Also, we discovered that she loves to retrieve in water. We are so in love with this beautiful girl! Please feel free to share with folks who knew Kaleigh in the beginning, or her pup's families.

The Oosterman Family







Thank you Oosterman family for giving Kaleigh the chance she needed at a new beginning!

UPDATE ON KENNY - ONE OF KALEIGH'S PUPS!


Look at Kenny all grown up! Kenny was one of Kaleigh's pups.

Mom and pups had a rough beginning - landing in the shelter and then bounced from their foster home because the foster was afraid that her dog would catch Heartworm disease from Kaleigh (that is not how Heartworm disease works - and Kaleigh tested negative for Heartworm...)

Anyway - as you can see - it all worked out in the end. Mom and pups all headed North to rescue.

We just received this wonderful update and pictures of Kenny - who is obviously living the life every dog dreams of!

Things are going great! I've attached some pictures for you!

We are currently going to puppy kindergarten to learn how to be good parents for our puppy! He learned how to "sit, stay, lie down, come, etc". Walking on a leash is still in practice = )

We renamed Kenny to Remington when we got him last April.

He has been a wonderful addition to our home & family!

Best,
Beth



CHECK OUT MOMMA SIDNEY!

We just received this new picture of Momma Sidney in her adoptive home. Also pictured is another one of our pups, Leslie of the "L-Puppies" who is being fostered temporarily by Sidney's mom.

Doesn't Sidney look happy and healthy! What a big difference a home makes to a rescued dog!
