AND THE WINNER OF THE KITTY BASKET GOES TO CAMILLE!!!


We apologize for the delay in posting this as well. We wanted to make sure we could get some pictures of the lovely recipient first! Camille stopped by our booth and bought a ticket for our raffle and we really appreciate her support- what a great young lady she is! We were sooooo happy when we picked her name! Camille has 2 very spoiled kitties (see their pics below) which we LOVE to hear! We are sure they enjoyed their Christmas presents! Read the descriptions of these two beauties from Camille's mom, Cheryl. Thanks so much for sending us these pictures!

"This is our Moses... MoMo for short... is about 15 years old and was my cat before I got married. He's part Hymialaian and has long gray hair and the most beautiful blue eyes - when they're open ! Which is not often! He's a very big cat - weighs almost 20 lbs! He's old and cantankerous and sleeps and eats a lot! "


"This is Baby Cat he wandered up to a house we were renting temporarily in October of 2010 when he was really a "baby cat" maybe 4 weeks old and so tiny! we were in the process of moving and we brought him with us to our permanant home in December where's he's stayed ever since! he's an outisde cat but always comes home to eat and spends the night inside! sooo sweet"

What a life! That's what they all deserve!

LAKESHORE TRAILER PARK UPDATE

Sorry for the delay in posting...seems Facebook is a bit easier to update. We have several doggies in need in of homes/rescue in Lakeshore Trailer Park. I have spent the last week passing out straw to those in need and trying to get a handle on which doggies are "homeless" and which need "new homes".



There is a rescue that may be interested in a few of the scruffy doggies, but we will not be able to confirm until early next week. I want to go ahead and post the need in case someone is looking for a wonderful new companion.



This is Princess. She is under a year old according to her "owner" (maybe 8-10 months old). Princess' owner no longer wants her. She lives on their porch and wanders up and down the street. We brought a dog house to her and straw last month as she did not have proper shelter. Anyway, she deserves a home where she will be loved. Princess is very sweet. She can be a little shy at first, but warms quickly. She probably weighs around 30 pounds (best guess). Princess gets along with all types of dogs (they all roam the neighborhood and she does fine).

This is Suki. She and her brother, Coojo, were abandoned at the trailer park when they were little puppies. They are being taken care of by a few people, but they want them to find good homes. Suki stays inside most of the time with a couple other doggies. She is very sweet and fairly docile. She likely weighs around 40-45 pounds. They are guessing she is around a year old. She and her brother are very good around kids (lots of kids there of all ages).

She is much cuter in person!





She is a unique looking gal!




This is Suki's brother, Coojo! How adorable is he?! He too is great with kids and seems to do fine with all the other dogs that roam the neighborhood. He does NOT like cats however. Coojo is very gentle with kids as well. He does have a barely noticeable limp in the rear (I believe right leg) from an injury when he was a puppy but it doesn't seem to bother him (he runs, etc.). He enjoys being outside most of the time.

A neighbor child hugging on Coojo- even younger kids don't bother him at all- very gentle.



Seriously...ADORABLE!



This is Pearl (named by our friend, Donna, in MI). Pearl came up to me while I was in the middle of another rescue. According to the neighbors, she is just a stray. Well...Pearl is not only GORGEOUS, but she is very friendly too! She needs a temporary foster home or something so that she can get off the streets.




This is a bit fuzzy (taken from my cell phone quickly)- this was the day she came running up to me!


Pictured below is a doggy named Drew. Drew is probably a couple years old according to the people taking care of him. He was the victim of another abandonment. His previous owners moved out and just left him (that was a couple months ago). Drew prefers a quieter home overall. There are lots of little kids around where he stays and he seems a bit uncomfortable. He likes women better than men according to Frisco who takes care of him. Drew gets along with other dogs and cats fine.

Last but not least...Mo Mo. If you look closely, Mo Mo is lying on the mattress. This is where he "lives" right now. Thankfully, the guy in the trailer allows him to come inside when it is too cold at night. Mo Mo was also left by a woman. She had asked a neighbor to "watch him" for a few days while she moved, but she never came back. The neighbors believe he was an inside doggy mostly. Mo Mo is a very sweet and laid back guy. He is good around kids and doesn't have a mean bone in his body.

Look at his precious eyes!

He was not very amused with me- lol. I disturbed his nap in the sun. At one point, he just laid on his side and went back to sleep! He is very sweet for sure!








This was taken on my cell from my car the other day
If you are willing to help any of these cuties, please contact Allie at 901-240-9848. We could always use monetary donations for vetting, transportation costs, etc. as well as donations of dog food (dry and canned), stainless steel bowls, blankets, straw, dog houses, and anything else you can think of for doggies. We set up an ongoing Chip In to help with these costs if you would like to contribute!
