My name is Andrew. My girlfriend, from Union NJ, has an 8-9 year old yellow lab/beagle mix with a heart murmur and can no longer afford the medical bills. She refuses to put her down or send her to a shelter that will only put her down. Can you help? We would love for Maggie to have a home or sanctuary, so she can enjoy the rest of her life.

P.J. is a 3-year-old German Shepherd mix who is currently scheduled to be euthanized at Heart of the Valley Animal Shelter in Bozeman, MT. Before coming to the shelter, PJ was hit by a tractor and lost one eye. He is now blind on one side and also sustained some damage to his hip. The reason he is being put down is because, while he is not in any pain at the moment, he may need to have one of his legs amputated 2-3 years down the road. PJ is a sweet, gentle boy who loves people and most other dogs. He is neutered, housebroken, and fully vaccinated. I would also be willing to transport PJ to a potential home and pay for his food and medical costs for the first year. If interested, please contact me at: (406) 586-0186.

A couple of months ago Daisy came to our shelter as a stray. We soon found out that she is partially deaf and that she has epilepsy. She is a beautiful girl and really wants to find the right family. She loves other dogs, loves kids and actually gets along great with cats!! She was going to be put down because of her "bully breed" (Dogo or Pitbull) looks and medical condition but the staff all fell in love with her and now we are trying to find a home for her. Medication is cheap and she hears well enough to understand commands. Now all she needs is a home!!!!!!!! Could she be so lucky to find a home?? Someone who actually loves her for who she is??? Daisy 1 1/2 year old spayed and micro-chipped female. HOMELESS. Shelmarie Main - Animal Care Specialist - Irvine Animal Care Center - (949) 724-7740 the-malones@cox.net

Lancaster,Ohio: Moroco is a 1 year old Husky/Shepherd mix. He was left at grandma and grandpa's house because he didn't like dad's girlfriend. Grandpa doesn't like him because he is deaf and has some problems understanding. Moroco tries to get along with Grandpa's boxer but there are some issues there as well.
No one wants to pay for any training to help him learn to behave and communicate.
Grandpa is taking Moroco to the pound in two (2) weeks if a home or placement is not found.
Please pass the word to all you know who might be able to help.
Thank you Denise Beery recon0309@yahoo.com 614-288-7804
Due to our busy schedule we are not able to properly care of an Airedale Terrier baby named Wishbone. He was born April 2, 2008 with a dilated esophagus and need to be feed in the upright position. He needs to eats from an elevated platform or position, so gravity pulls the food down to his stomach. That is because his esophagus muscles do not move the food down to the stomach by itself. He need to stay seated or standing for up to 30 minutes after eating to allow gravity to pull his food down to the stomach. If not, they he may regulate the food that is in his esophagus and that could cause some food to come up into his lungs. It is possible that he might outgrow this problem, but not likely.

I have been a volunteer with Pets Alive Rescue in Helena, AL for the past 4 years. I have since moved to Ann Arbor, MI but still continue to support this great rescue group. We rescued a dog that has been diagnosed with cerebellar dysfunction. They think she had damage to her brain stem during the birthing process. She shakes like she has Parkinson's disease. She is still when she sleeps. We have named her Dancer because she just dances around. She is about 10 months old and has been spayed. Dancer has been in a wonderful foster home with another dog with the same condition. The foster parents have to give her up because she has become aggressive around other dogs. We truly feel this is because of her disability. We have had her treated by a holistic vet who has been giving her herbs and acupuncture. Dancer really has been doing very well. She NEEDS a home with no other pets and with people who will give her the love she deserves. I have never seen her aggressive around people. The rest of her litter mates were all born OK and they all have good homes. Please let me know if you can help our little gal. We can get her to you and I would be glad to make a donation in her honor. Laurie Bell, Ann Arbor, MI GABell4@aol.com
Hugo ARPH 9251 www.aussierescuega.com
Hugo is a red tri male Aussie with prick ears and a natural bobbed tail. He is 4 years old, neutered, housetrained and being maintained on monthly heartworm prevention. Hugo does very well with cats and other dogs, though seems to enjoy being with just one dog as opposed to many. He is a sweet and loving boy who is leash trained and really enjoys playing with toys. He is also crate trained.
There’s just one hangup to Hugo. He has a condition called epilepsy which causes seizures. This condition is easily maintained through daily medication and Hugo is doing very well on it. Hugo is a very special dog looking for a wonderful, compassionate and loving home who enjoys a dog that has a lot to say. He also has some quirky behaviors that make him extra special and really charming for the right person.
Hugo is located in Lawrenceville, GA. Approved adopters may contact Rachael Eley at savmoraussies@bellsouth.net.
Bert, ARPH 10547 – www.aussierescuega.com
Bert is a 9 week old blue merle Aussie pup with a docked tail. He is up to date on vaccinations and neutered.
Bert does have some vision loss but gets around very well. Bert does have good hearing and responds to verbal commands very well. Once he hears you, he will immediately stop and start tracking the air to find you. You can view Bert’s mobility at this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v
=Uy2gQ_fnrkI .Here's what Bert's foster home has to say about him: "Bert is finally coming out of his little shell and starting to act like a puppy. He attacks your feet when you are walking outside and Bert follows Cash around and will occasionally bite at his feet when they are both lying down. He has accepted that he will have to eat dry food too, and has taken to attacking that as ferociously as he does the wet food. He still seems a bit underweight, but we are working on that. He has picked out 3 spots around the house that he will pass out in and 1 spot where he goes to when he wants to "fight" with his nemesis the window curtain drawstring. He even hops around and barks at it every once in a while, which is the only noise I have heard out of him."
A fenced yard is a requirement for those adopting Bert. It will also be really nice if he had a sighted companion to help lead him. However, he also seems to do just fine on his own, enjoying gardening with his foster family for hours on end. He is fostered in Atlanta, GA and adopters must travel to meet/adopt him, he will not be shipped or transported out of state.
Approved adopters may contact Kim Johnson at savaussies@comcast.net
GEORGIA Wed, 16 Apr 2008 Sniffles was born with no nose and missing a few teeth. The vet at the shelter said he is happy and healthy!

Molly is a blind and partially deaf great pyrenees who was found dumped in a field wandering in circles. She is a big sweet beautiful girl. Molly has had her rabies shot and they removed her back dew claws as her's had grown in and were infected. The vet said that Molly's blindness is from glaucoma, and that she is well past the painful part of that condition. She can hear some and will turn to your voice. He estimated her to be approximately 3-4 years old. She appears to be spayed. She is a large dog and probably weighs around 125 pounds. She needs to be in a smaller area, with defined boundaries so she has something to orient herself to. When she is in large, open areas, she will simply go in circles.She is very sweet and loving. She does well with the foster's other dogs, two females and one male. She can be mildly food agressive She can be a little leary of men at first but does warm up with time.She does well inside or outside, and seems to be well mannered. She does best outside walking on her leash with her seeing eye person by her side. She is also good with children. The foster's neighbor has six.If you can open your heart to this beautiful sweet girl who happens to be blind, please let us know.My e-mail is kat_wil@yahoo.com and my phone number is 281-658-7740.
This is Teddy's story: He was adopted by a couple when he was a puppy through the Vet who handles all the SPCA animals. He was a tiny ball of fluff, just cute as could be. He grew up to be a beautiful "Benji" type dog, sweet, friendly and in love with everyone. Sounds great doesn't it !! Well Teddy is now 2 years old and the couple finally figured out the Teddy is "DEAF" and now they don't want him. They brought him back to the Vet and said he's deaf and we don't want to deal with it and he's all yours.....good bye !! So now Teddy is living at the Vet hospital instead of his home with the big back yard......... hoping someone will want him and love him just as he is.
Teddy is: Neutered male. 2 years old, House broken
Heart worm negative , On Heartgard and Frontline Shots UTD , Will be micro chipped
Great with other dogs, cats and kids, Very sweet, playful and loving
And deaf.
Presently in Mississippi

My name is Schroeder. I am a male rottie mix , approximately 2 years old. I weigh about 60 pounds. I am a charming type of guy who likes dogs, and kids, but prefer a home with no cats. I only need some attention from a new family to make me happy. I am very handsome, smart and wise beyond my years. I need some work on my basic training, but truly am a pleaser, so I will learn quickly. I wonder how I ended up living here at the shelter, but have never come up with an answer. I am hoping for a family who will cherish my funny smile and will over look the fact that I have a minor problem called Epilepsy . My medication is very cheap, so please do not let that scare you away from coming to meet me. "The Marlie's Fund" can help pay for my medication, if you need help. I crave nothing more then to be your best friend, won’t you allow me to be that? Please contact Terrilyn at ttilley1@tampabay.rr.com Or call her at 941-238-7810

When Susie was a small puppy, only 4 weeks old... She was used as pitbull bait for fighting. She was thrown in with 2 pitbulls, and laid screaming as her two back legs were chewed off. She was left for dead, terribly drained of blood, energy, and spirit.
She was found, nearly dead. The rescuers rushed her to the nearest animal hospital, and the vet was able to save her. But barley. It took weeks for her to get her energy and strength back. She grew up, into a somewhat normal, traumatized puppy. Because of her past...she has some animal aggression. She is extremely food aggressive around other dogs, and doesn't like small dogs. Everything else about her is perfect~
She has a wheel chair, and a fake leg, and she does get around very well. She is 3 years old, and has been to many homes, and has been rejected too many times.
Nobody wants her. She is alone, waiting for a home. Unloved.
She is just the reject dog, the messed up dog. What she is really..is the wonderful spirit, who has been drained of all life. She needs a permanent home. Or a rescue that can find her a permanent him. PLEASE... If you can rescue her..,
She has experienced unbearable pain, heart wrenching betrayal, and is now giving up hope as something as simple as a hug. Can you change that for her?

Hello, My name is Lisa . I rescued a little guy off the street and he needs help. There is no telling how long he has been out on the street, I did all the things that I could think of to do, I put up signs, put an ad in the Sac Bee, Craigslist. I have had not response. This little guy is about 10-12 lbs I would say he is 15 plus years old, he is almost blind, he hears pretty well, I know he needs medical attention, he has a bad cough (not like kennel cough) this is more like an asthma cough in humans. He breaths very heavy shot breaths. Since I have had him his energy level is up. I am unable at this time to get him the medical help i'm sure he needs. I was really hoping that one of you rescue groups out there could take him. I do not want to take him to the SPCA. I have attached a couple of pictures of him. I have been wanting to give him a bath and clean him up but I was afraid that he might get sicker than he is if he gets cold.
Will one of you please help this little guy!! Please email me or call me 916-912-7496 LBRESHEARS2003@comcast.net

I work with a volunteer group in northern NJ that medically helps animals from the Bergen County Animal Shelter in Teterboro NJ for animals they can't afford to treat. Buster is a 3 year old, neutered, Shepherd/Akita mix who was hit by a car and brought to the shelter. FOCAS, the volunteer group, paid for his physical therapy at a specialist hospital for over 5 weeks but his time is up. He only improved slightly and needs a sling and two people to help him walk. He eliminates outside but is 79 pounds and just a love. Everyone at the hospital loves him. We don't want to bring him to the shelter because they will put him down. Please, Please help.

JD was rescued from a shelter. He is an adorable deaf purebred Jack Russell Terrier. He's a young and lively dog and would make a wonderful family pet. JD has been completely vetted and is up to date on all his shots. He got a clean bill of health from the vet. Please contact Diane yi_pie@yahoo.com

Mercy is sweet and lovable but older and a hound...two qualities that disqualify her for adoption around here. Again, I've spent hundreds of dollars having her hernia repaired, spaying her, and having her vaccinated. Se is in Wytheville, Virginia. contact Ruthie Murray <petsnperil@yahoo.com>

BlackJack is the sweetest boy ever but no one wants to take a dog that is deformed in the hind quarters, anticipating future medical costs. The low cost spay/neuter van locally will not operate on him because he isn't "normal" but I'll get with another vet to get that done, as I have on the other two. He was actually rescued from a local hoarder. He had mange over a large part of his body and his back end never developed like his front. He has almost a "pigeon-toe" stance. He is a loving boyHe is in Wytheville, Virginia. contact Ruthie Murray <petsnperil@yahoo.com>

Robin is neurotic and though very sweet, no one is willing to adopt her with the associated problems that she has. She is a red merle heeler. When I pulled her, I had a rescue that was going to take her. I went to pick her up and was surprised when the ACO actually loaded her into my van. I found out why. They had had lots of fun watching her chase her tail continually while in the shelter. What they didn't tell me was that she had caught it and literally chewed the tip off! She was bleeding everywhere. Naturally, I couldn't send her to the rescue in that condition. I took her to my vet and we decided that it would be best to dock her tail so she couldn't catch it. I had that done and had her spayed. She still chases imaginary things that she thinks is after her. I have her on a medication that is supposed to help with the anxiety and it calms her a little. I've spent over $600 getting her tail docked, spayed, vaccinated, and medicated. She is currently kenneled in an 8x8 enclosure and that isn't the way that I want her to spend her life. Unfortunately, I don't have a choice. She is in Wytheville, Virginia. contact Ruthie Murray <petsnperil@yahoo.com>
Ticket is our little hearing and vision impaired Mini Aussie puppy that needs a new home. Ticket is about 3 mos old now and is doing very well in his foster home. He is learning to learn - primarily through "touch" training and from watching and playing with the other dogs in the family. He is an active participant in the family and is becoming more attentive to people every day. He is very active and is sighted in one eye, allowing him to move freely about the house and yard, with supervision, of course. He's happy and quite well socialized for a little guy who was taken from his momma and dumped at a shelter at five weeks of age - he and his siblings were to be euthanized. He was pulled, but not given much interaction with people until about eight weeks when he was accepted into MARS. In his foster home, he plays well with kids and adults and other dogs. When he gets rambunctious, the youngest of the family's dogs corrects him with a push or a touch on his body and Ticket seems to settle right down. He is fine in a crate, but will whine a bit when his primary care-giver leaves his sight. He loves to play, but also finds time for serious cuddling. He is being house-trained, taught to walk on a leash along with other basic, puppy appropriate commands such as sit and down. Come is a bit harder as he cannot hear - perhaps a vibrating collar or other clever device would be a useful addition when he is in his Forever Home. Visit our website at www.miniaussierescue.org and download an Adopter Information form if you think you can provide Ticket with the loving home that he deserves. James Allen <jallen07@snet.net>
I have a 3 yr old black lab who is blind. She has cataracts on both eyes. I don't have the means to have her eyes fixed. I also take care of 3 small grandchildren and I'm afraid that they will startle the dog and she will bite them. They do not understand about her "Bonnie" not being able to see them. She has always been exceptionally good with them. Bonnie also has skin/allergy problems and at times chews her skin off leaving exposed places on her. I also worry about this around the kids.
I emailed one place and they were going to list her, so I don't know if this is the same place or not.
Bonnie is a very loving, good dog and I really want to find her a forever home with someone who will take care of her, maybe even have her eyes fixed. I am attaching a picture. I live in Huffman, Texas.
Sincerely, Sarah Wallace swallace57@verizon.net
"Eddie" is our special need brindle and white puppy. He was the
first born, feet first, with a lot of help. Charlie, the mother, had the
rest of the litter by C-section. When Eddie was born, he suffered from
lack of oxygen and now can't walk without rolling over. He can take a few
steps if he is going slow, but if he is excited, (which he is still a puppy) he
tumbles over. Eddie will need a wheel-chair and a loving family that knows
how to take care of special needs pets. He acts like a regular puppy and he can
control when he goes to the bathroom. He does use the newspapers right now
and he can eat and drink by himself. He will only go to an approved home.
If interested in loving Eddie, please call Sundie Reedy at 479-738-1993 or

This is Gem! She is a Chocolate Labrador Retriever who is mixed with Smooth coated Collie or possibly Terrier. She is between 2 and 3 yrs old (as of 10/20). She is really cute and has a charming look to her. She weighs about 60 lbs, but needs to gain some weight. She came to us as a stray, and is a bit too thin. She is a really sweet dog who is a bit timid with you. She absolutely wants attention, but doesn't have much confidence in herself. She will stay right next to you and lean against you - all in the hope that you will love and pet her. She is definitely social and wants to be around people. She is good with the other dogs and enjoys playing with them. She nicely takes treats and allows us to take her food bowl away. She did not react to being pinched or having her tail pulled. She is fairly calm. She enjoys walks and does pretty well on the leash. She is well mannered inside, and will keep off the furniture. She loves to just lay at your feet. When Gem first arrived, she appeared to be in good health. However, it was noticed that she never held her tail up. We took her to the Vet to have this checked, and found the her tail had separated from her spine as the result of being shot with buck shot at some point in her life. The Vet amputated her tail, which has totally healed now. She also has some nerve damage which keeps her from having any feeling in her tail, which has resulted in the risk of leakage since her anus is not tightly closed. In her foster home, she was put on WD, a special food, which gives her good solid stools. This has helped her out. Her foster Mom indicates that since Gem has been in the house, she has shown good control and only had two accidents in 4 weeks. When she sleeps in her crate, she does lose some control and will pass a solid stool (something that is easy to clean). She does not have any liquid leakage. We know that this issue will take some extra care, but we truly feel Gem is worth it. She is such a sweet, loving dog with a gentle soul. She deserves a chance at a loving home where she'll plenty of love and attention. Please consider adopting her.
