Happy Tails!

  
Ajax was turned over to our rescue by a very kind humane society director who saved him from being euthanized at her shelter. Biggie was found wandering as a stray in Columbus with no tags, collar or microchip. His nails were so long they had curled under, and his poor little ears were all fly-bitten. He was emaciated and very dehydrated. We have now nursed him back to health and have taken care of his outstanding medical issues (he desperately needed a dental, needed to be neutered, and had fleas and ear infections).  
Achilles' story will break your heart......this incredibly sweet and loving boy was used by his previous owner for target practice when he was drunk. When he couldn't hit him, he backed over him with his pickup truck and then shot fireworks at him as Achilles lay in the road writhing in pain. I am happy to report that Achilles has fully recovered from his experiences physically and we are helping him to regain his confidence. He is not aggressive at all; on the contrary, he is very submissive with people. He just wants to be loved. I am also happy to report that his previous owner is being prosecuted to the fullest extent the law allows (which, sadly, isn't much). Achilles has been adopted and is being loved and spoiled rotten and spending lots of time wrestling with his new brother and sister. Max was found playing in traffic in the streets of Columbus. A kind passerby rescued Max and turned him over to us.Max was found to have a congenital heart defect which will be fatal. He has been adopted into a home that will squeeze a lifetime of love and happiness into the short time he has.   Timmy was found wandering in the Columbus area. He has found a new loving home and is now the proud best friend of a 7 year old girl who adores him.
Buddy was turned over to our rescue by a very kind humane society director who saved him from being euthanized at her shelter. She was turned over to our rescue by a very kind rescue who saved Gracie and her 3 siblings from being gassed at a county pound. Gracie then contracted Parvo, and was nursed back to health. She now has a new family, a big back yard and a big brother Akita.   Izzy was turned over to our rescue by a very kind rescuer who saved Izzy and her 3 siblings from being euthanized at a county pound. Izzy contracted Parvo, became gravely ill and was moments from being euthanized but when she saw her fosterparents she made a miraculous recovery. Izzy is now happy and healthy and living with the fosterparents who has since adopted her.
Casey was turned over to our rescue by a very kind humane society director who saved him from being euthanized at her shelter. Casey came to us with his brother Buddy. Frito was turned over to our rescue by a very kind rescue who saved Frito and his 3 siblings from being gassed at a county pound. Frito is now with his new family, being spoiled daily and even going to work with his new mom.   Jeckle was turned over to our rescue by a very kind rescuer who saved Jeckle and his 3 siblings from being euthanized at a county pound. He contracted Parvo and was nursed back to health. He is now happy and healthy in his new home.
Honey was kept outside for 6 years and then abandoned at a county pound. She is now living happily, indoors, with a new family that adores her. Chloe was rescued in Bay St. Louis Mississippi, nine days after Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast. Chloe was filthy, had nicks all over her, a large abrasion on her neck, and a swollen paw--all of which are now healed. Chloe was rescued by a Good Samaritan who has kept her safe and happy since she was rescued. Every attempt was made to reunite Chloe with her original owner, but she remained unclaimed. Chloe now has a new home and family and is living the good life! Elmo was confiscated in a cruelty case for being confined 24/7 in a crate that was too small. He is now happy with his new family with plenty of room to run.
Sadie is an 18 pound purebred Lhasa Apso who is 11 years old. When her owners found out she was diabetic, they wanted to euthanize her rather than deal with the "hassle" of giving her one easy (and inexpensive) shot per day. The day we met her at the vet, Sadie was prancing around, looking like the happiest dog in the world, so we convinced the owners to let us save her life instead of killing her because giving her a shot every day was "too hard".
Larka owes her life to the kind person who rescued her from a kill-shelter and turned her over to our rescue. We were able to find Larka a home filled with lots of love and dog treats Ernie was rescued by humane officers who allowed our rescue to take custody of him before he was going to be euthanized.He is now living as a happy, healthy lap-dog! Ziggy was found by a Good Samaritan running in a busy street with his sister. Ziggy managed to dodge the cars bearing down on him and was saved by the Good Sam, but his sister was killed in front of his eyes
Rufus was found wandering stray in the Dayton area, severely emaciated, and with horrible ear infections Sweet Molly's owner passed away unexpectedly while Molly was lying at her feet...Molly has found a new home in which to live out her Golden Years. Mira was abandoned on the West side of Columbus and had the very good fortune to be rescued by a family of Good Samaritans who turned her over to us.
Opus was turned over to our rescue by a very kind humane society director who saved him from being euthanized at another shelter. Samson escaped from a very bad situation where he was being used as a "bait dog" by a dog-fighting ring. He's a lover, not a fighter!! He came to us with bite marks all over his body, a nasty laceration on his foot.
