Meet the Dogs

Goldie is a wonderful and loving ten-year-old Coonhound mix who ended up in a rural shelter in southern Ohio. She was so good and so quiet that those who ran the shelter seemed to forget she was there.

Oreo is one tough little cookie! This ten-year-old Shih Tzu was straining to urinate for a few days. After she passed a small bladder stone on her own, her family was hopeful her symptoms would resolve. However, soon she stopped eating and drinking and became very lethargic.

Gunner is a ten-year-old beagle mix who was adopted by Knoxville senior, Mr. David, through the Knox PAWS program. Mr. David previously had a long-time Knox PAWS dog who had recently passed away from cancer.

Sweet, ten-year-old Faye found herself at the shelter after her elderly owner fell ill and went into a nursing home. She was not doing well in the shelter environment, so thankfully, ended up in the care of our first-time grantee Get A Bull, Inc.

Louis has been helped by Upper Peninsula Animal Welfare Shelter (UPAWS) not once, but twice! Back in 2014, Louis was found as a stray and brought to the shelter. After his stray hold period was over, he was adopted out to a new home.

Though his time with NorCal Boxer Rescue was short, they will never forget Gordon. This sweet, gentle, senior boxer was abandoned by his family in his own backyard. He remained there alone for over two weeks before animal control was contacted and he was picked up. Because they had an open foster home willing to care for this beautiful senior boy, they were able to take Gordon in right away.

Jet came to CT Humane as part of a collaboration with a local animal control partner who had seized him as part of an  investigation.

The big, fluffy senior boy was in pain – three of his nails were torn (and very sore!) and advanced dental disease made it tough to eat. His senior sister Roxxstar had come in, too – Lyme disease and thyroid issues were among the host of problems CT Humane’s veterinary team discovered.

A good Samaritan discovered a paralyzed dog laying in a back patio helplessly barking in Tijuana, Mexico. She posted a video of him covered in flies, laying in the hot sun and unable to move. She spoke with his family and they said Scooby had stopped walking, so they left him outside.

Smokey is an 11-year-old rat terrier who made his way to Pets Alive in New York on a transport mission all the way from Louisiana. While Smokey got a lot of tender loving care from volunteers and staff at Pets Alive, he became very depressed, missing his home and family of so many years.

Seven years ago, Ernie came to Lollypop Farm from another shelter on a life-saving rescue waggin’ from Ohio. He was just a puppy at that time and was adopted into a home quickly.

Snowball is a ten-year-old Shih Tzu mix who was found wandering outside alone and brought into Chicago Animal Care and Control (CACC) with an infected eye. CACC was not able to give him the medical care he needed, so they turned to our grantee Heartland Animal Shelter about taking in the senior pup.

Coco was surrendered to the Southampton Animal Shelter when his family could no longer care for him. This 11-year-old lab was born to be someone’s loyal companion. Remember Shadow from Homeward Bound? Well, that’s Coco!
