Boone NC Faedra is a sweet and small senior female beagle needs rescue or home!

Can anyone help this little girl. Please network if you can not. If you can contact: Rebecca Darby darbyre@email.appstate.edu Maddy My name is Rebecca Darby and I am currently a junior at Appalachian State University. I am emailing you because I am very concerned for one sweet little dog at the Watauga Humane Society and was hoping you all would be willing to help me. Her name is Faidre (pronounced Fehdra), and she is a sweet, patient, smart, loving little girl, who has the funniest facial expressions and adores attention. Shes laid back and is easily the quietest little beagle I've ever seen (of the 7 or 8 times I've met her I've only heard her bark once.) She is in the same kennel as a little spastic dog named Chelsea who nips and bumps into Faidre all the time and it does not even phase this adorable girl. My concern is this; unfortunately, the Watauga Humane Society is a shelter that puts dogs down if they run out of room. As I'm sure you know, older dogs and dogs with health and behavior problems are the first ones that get put down. Miss Faidre is eleven years old and I'm so concerned that she will be put to sleep very soon. This idea breaks my heart, because this dog is very healthy and loves to be with people. She has plenty of spunky-ness left in her and can keep up with her hyper kennel-mate Chelsea. After looking for no kill shelters in North Carolina, I found that you all are an organization that does not put animals down. I was hoping you guys would be able to help me out in some way be it taking this sweet girl in, or spreading her name around, to see if anyone would adopt her. I would love to adopt this wonderful girl, but my dog in Cary is very dog aggressive, and in Boone, I do not have the money to take care of such a great pet. I can't watch this sweet girl get put down and I was hoping you guys could help me out! I hope to hear from you soon and thank you in advance for your time and attention. I can not tell you how much this means to me. Below is a picture of Faidre if you guys would want to spread her name if you don't have room for her or don't want to take her due to her age. Thank you again and I hope to hear from you soon! Sincerely, Rebecca Darby

Jersey City NJ - two older german shepherds need a home together or rescue to keep them together

Black and Tan shepherd is 75 lbs and 8.5 yrs old but very healthy. Her name is Tinkerbell. We make her run once or twice a day fetching her toy. She is fixed as well. All shots were done July of last year. The white shepherd is 6.5 yrs old and is 85 lbs. His name is Bobo and he is especially protective of Tinkerbell. We brought them all the way from Hawaii so they have certifications from the vet. Who took care of all the shots. If need be we will have them rechecked and have shots given. My partner and I are leaving the country indefinitely. My daughter is moving to Massachusetts and cannot afford an expensive apartment that will take the dogs. Her dad, my partner, lost his job and business. We are presently just staying with friends in Jersey City where there is a small yard for the dogs to play. Both are good with kids and adults but are not good around small dogs. contact: mignonandersen@yahoo.com

Warner Robins Ga URGENT senior bully mix dumped is blind and needs rescue now!

This poor old fellow was found when he wondered up from the road to a guy's house. The man did not want the dog but could not run off a blind old guy. He called us for help. We have the dog in a temp foster but he needs a rescue asap. They man and the foster tell me that they do not think the dog can see much at all. He is old and very thin. He is already neutered, so he did belong to some one but now that he is old, he finds himself dumped out like trash. Like so many seniors in this area, he is left to die alone on the streets. If you can help him, please contact either Lynn at lynne@fopas.org or Charli at cstinson@pstel.net Thank you, Charli, 770/584/3655

Meg, a 8-9 year old female shepherd mix needs a home! Moorestown NJ

Meg is a sweet Shepherd/hound mix with a loving disposition. She's been in foster care with us for about 9 months and she is a terrific pet. She's about 8-9 years old so she doesn't exhaust you with her energy, but she still has the playful heart of a puppy. She loves to cuddle, take walks, play with her bone and lay on her blanket. She’s fully house-trained and has no bad habits -- no chewing, begging, obsessive barking or destructive behavior.  She's crate trained but we basically keep the crate door open -- she goes in it to rest and eat but she can be totally trusted outside the crate. A short hair, she doesn't shed excessively either. After a nice evening walk, Meg likes to quiet down and watch TV.  She’s very smart and knows commands, such as “sit,” “paw” and “kennel up.” She’s very loyal and likes people a lot. Meg would do anything for her "people." Meg can get along with other dogs after a period of getting to know them. If you'd like to learn more about Meg, please email her foster parents at adoptmeg@gmail.com.

Owingsville KY two half blind injured kittens need home together!

Yes this is senior pets but we also post "disabled" animals and these two kittens fit the bill.

Marcy was the first to arrive. She somehow crawled up from a field behind my house 250 feet uphill for her, found a miniscule opening in the fence, crawled into my open basement patio door, through a sea of 8 dogs, and hid behind my furnace.  Both Marcy and Marty had severe eye infections and recently had one eye removed. 

 

Marty was found 2 days later on my front porch.  I think his Mom dropped him off.  They were barely 8-10 oz. when they had the surgery last week.  Marcy is now about 12 oz. and Marty might be 10 oz. but are eating well.

 

I need to find a home for them, I want them to stay together and be indoor cats.  I promised them that I would be sure the rest of their lives would be good, and I intend to keep my promise. I will pay for all vetting, I just want to find a perfect home for them.  The remaining eyes have limited vision.   please contact: soapdiva44@yahoo.com

***Rascal:

 Such a handsome & cuddly boy. My name’s Rascal. I’m an Australian Shepherd mix. In July, I’ll be 8 years old. My exact age is known because I’ve been with my family since I was 8 weeks old. Now, they’re moving & leaving me behind. Hard to imagine, but some people don’t understand dogs are forever friends. I’ve been a very good boy & am waiting for a new family to shower with love. I’m smart & friendly & lots of fun. I’ve always lived with a female dog friend. My best friend Hallie is soon to be homeless, too. I’m good with other dogs, cats & children. I weigh 45-50 lbs., am neutered, current on vaccines & heartworm/Lyme tested. I can pack my bags quickly & be yours. Hope you will contact my friends atpals@psknet.com right away for an adoption application. Or, complete an application at www.radfordpoundpals.org. I don’t have much time before I’m without a home.

 ***Hallie:  

I’m giving you my most imploring look because I’m very eager for a person to love. Can you see how sweet I am? My name’s Hallie. I’m a very cute 11 year old, 28 lb. Beagle mix girl. After a lifetime with my family, I’m being left behind because they’re moving. I’ve been a loyal & devoted friend & don’t understand this. There’s nothing like charm & gentleness of a senior. Hope you agree. I’m healthy, spayed, current on shots & heartworm/Lyme tested. I’ve always lived with another dog, my friend Rascal, also soon to be homeless.  I’m good with dogs, cats & children. To make me your new best friend, please complete an adoption application atwww.radfordpoundpals.org Or, contact CONTACT pals@psknet.com

Breeland, a Senior Chow Chow in Lewispot KY needs rescue!!!

Hello!!

Breeland is a 12 year old Chow that was dumped at the shelter by his owner. I am struggling to find a way out of the shelter for him.

Breeland has been checked out by our vet and he says that Breeland is in good shape for being and old man and he has life left in his years which you can clearly see by the attached pictures. With all this in account I am trying to find him a retirement home. The shelter in Lewisport ky is small (15 runs) and ran mostly by volunteers like myself. If there is any way that you can help me help Breeland PLEASE let me know.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Payne

W Salem Ohio, mostly white senior male beagle needs home! looks like sweet beagle too!

The woman who found Nate sent this update:

 

What I have learned about Nate is that he's a very friendly boy. He loves to be around people . I am trying to get him used to being inside my home. He does well and doesn't do "his business" in the house. He loves car rides. Does well at vets office, no growling or snapping. He has buck shot in him, found that out from x-rays. It doesn't effect him in any way though . He loves treats lol. Always has a big tail wag whenever someone comes around. When I'm working in the yard he 'follows' me around. Takes him a little longer but I wait for him. He does NOT like garden hoses though, for this I do not know the reason. If he sees it he can move pretty quick. Lol. He doesn't seem to mind cats, have a few outside ones and he doesn't bother them. He found out he loves the big dog bed I gave him, stays on it quit a bit. Going to try the bath thing this weekend and see how he does,lol. He's just a really friendly ole boy who just wants to be loved. He will catch your heart real quick because I know he has caught mine :) Hope you can help me find a responsible home for this sweet boy.  If you are interested

in helping this beagle boy,

please contact:

From: Kimberly Thompson kmbrlythmpsn12@gmail.com>

My father has a 10-11 year old male lab mix that he needs to surrender due to my father's age and health leaving him unable to care for Tiger any longer.

Tiger is a big boy and is in need of medical attention.  He is very sweet but needs a home where he can get a lot of attention and love.  

Please contact me and let me know what we need to do to surrender him to you if it's possible.  We are trying to avoid the SPCA.  We have tried numerous ways to find him a good home, but have been unsuccessful.  Please help, even if you just have suggestions of what we need to do.

Thank you,
