Almost 2 weeks ago, my husband found this precious little puppy in the middle of a busy street in Memphis (in a not-so-good part of town). It's hard to believe that this precious girl was wandering around in a very dangerous world. Sadly, there are too many of these stories to count. Olivia is now her name and thanks to my hubby, she is safe and happy. Olivia is now almost 17 pounds and has been spayed recently. She is one of the lucky ones...she will go to our wonderful rescue partner in Wisconsin this Sunday!
Another picture of Olivia, shortly after being picked up on the streets of Memphis!
This is Olivia today :)
She still loves her temporary "daddy"!
Kevin trying to settle this little one down- she gets soooo excited!
Never-ending kisses for Kevin!
This is one smart little girl- she watches everything!
Trying to get Big 'Ol Bella to play- she loves Bella!
Such a pretty girl!
Such a pretty girl!
Another lucky pup...Georgie!
This is Georgie Boy! Georgie was brought in to a fairly high kill shelter in Arkansas (Forrest City, AR) as a "stray". Thanks to the miracle of networking (Facebook really), Georgie found his doggy angel, Donna. Donna paid to have this precious boy "pulled" from the shelter and into safety. Of course there were no foster homes available so Georgie had to spend some time in boarding at a vet clinic. Definitely not ideal, but it saved his life (well Donna saved his life- thank you so much Donna!). You see, people can help in all sorts of ways- Donna helps by posting pictures on Facebook of dogs in need and her group raises money (among other things) to help "pull" dogs from death row- amazing!
Anyway, thanks to our rescue angels in Wisconsin, Georgie will have a new lease on life this Sunday. I met Forrest City Area Humane Society members Denny and Jessie to pick up this little guy on Monday night so he could be neutered before he left (a must as we rescuers know). He has only been here a few days, but he is such a joy to have. George is quite the ham! He is such a good boy and absolutely adores other dogs. Someone will be lucky to make this guy a family member!
Kevin was trying to watch his Steelers game- sorry babe, but we need photos of this sweetie!
He seems to "know" that he has been saved!
You can tell that Georgie just loves life!
My sweet Bella puts up with a lot- actually, they make Bella feel spunky again!
Lula isn't quite so sure though- lol.
Lula is still deciding whether she likes her new house guest!
He really is adorable (and has a great personality to boot!)
We have no idea what he is, but we are thankful that he is alive :)
We could seriously save so many more lives if people would just foster a needy pup for a short time. Please think about it and call me at 901-240-9848 or email allieot98@yahoo.com if you'd like to help!
Once I get my on-site numbers down through adoptions, I would be delighted to short term foster for you! Goergie looks a lot like my Margie w/o the wire coat.
ReplyDeleteWell I hope you do get your numbers down- I'm still working on that (lol). I would LOVE for you to short-term foster (the transport always comes your way) so you just let me know when you have room :)
