FRANKIE'S STORY
Rescued from living life on a chain to having a loving
family and sleeping in a bed (under the covers)!

The information I have on Frankie has been passed to me through many hands. Frankie first lived in Kennewick, Washington, where there is breed specific legislation. He was seized from his first home, probably around the age of 8 to 10 months old. Due to the fact the seizure was complicated by police involvement and by another dog (a Lab) who was ordered by the owner to bite the police (which he did), Frankie was held in the shelter as “evidence” in a court case for many months. Once the court case was resolved, Frankie was adopted out. Things went from bad to worse. |

JAGGER’S STORY
Learning to be a dog again!
|
  |
In December 2010, the sheriff’s office was involved in a drug bust in Houston. Much was confiscated, including nine dogs who had been used for fighting. After some time, the court released custody of the dogs. Because all of the dogs had been labeled as dangerous, it was thought that they would never have a chance to be adopted, and thus, the euthanizing began. Luckily, one volunteer at the shelter scrambled to get hold of a bully breed rescue group, Treat ‘Em Right Rescue (TERR). The rescue stepped in and took the only three dogs who were still alive. |

BEAR
|
 |
“My name is Bear and this is my story: Five years ago my daddy took his nephews turkey hunting. Well, you know little boys get hungry, so they drove down the mountain to get some lunch. When they drove around the bend they saw me just sitting there all alone on the side of the road. I was cold, wet, and very hungry, and I didn’t have a home anymore." |

AUGGIE
|
 |
Auggie’s mom, Shari Yates-Morehead, says, “The black Lab with the bandana on is our rescue dog, Auggie. He came to us from the city pound in Falls City, Nebraska, in November of 2010. He was severely underweight, had been dumped twice at the pound, and had a terrible separation anxiety attachment disorder. Because of his behavioral issues, Auggie was placed on the euthanasia list, and he had only 12 hours left, so we saved him." |

TREASURE

Treasure’s mom, Deb Bauer, says, “In May 2011, I was looking at Shelties on Petfinder. There I found Snowy, a 3 year old double merle Sheltie, who had been born both blind and deaf. I fell in love with her immediately and knew she was meant to be part of our family. Snowy was in a shelter in Missouri, a long ways from me here in Pennsylvania. I contacted the shelter and was told she was already being adopted. My heart was crushed, but I kept her picture beside my computer, and I just couldn’t get her out of my mind." |

BOBOB
|
 |
Bobob’s mom, Meghan Lodge, says, “Bobob was a shelter baby. He had been there over six months with no adoption prospects in sight. One of the kennel staff told almost every person that looked his way that he was going ‘kennel crazy,’ and that most certainly deterred possible adopters! Bobob was placed on the euthanasia list, and I adopted him two days before his time was up." |
