found their forever families - and will continue to teach about the true
loving nature of the animal heart and spirit despite any of their
disabilities.

Scooter was adopted in February 2009.
He is one of the most fearless, five-pound, Yorkshire
Terriers you will ever meet. He is very social and will proudly
roll up to any person or animal and say "hi." Scooter was hit by a car which left him paralyzed from the waist down. Scooter,
now six and a half years old, is very grateful to be alive. He does not let his disability hold him back and he always has
an enthusiastic and cheerful disposition. Definitely not shy, he loves being around people, sitting on laps and having his
ears scratched. His favorite activity is being outside and running around in his wheelchair. Scooter was relinquished to
Pets with Disabilities because his owner could not longer care for him due to their life changes. Scooter does well with
other dogs and cats. He is neutered and current on all his shots.

Becky was adopted in January 2009.
She is a small black lab. She is your typical lovable lab just wants to be around people
and other dogs. She was probably born with a birth defect which left her with three legs. She very very sweet, and likes to
be part of the action, but then she needs a break she takes a breather from the excitement. Becky is spayed and current on
all her shots. She gets along with cats, dogs and of course people. She is just a great dog and deserves a second chance
making some family very, very happy.

Tye was adopted in December 2008.
He is a Border Collie. He is one laid back, easy going dog. He is lovable, cuddly
and very intelligent. He wants desperately to be around people. He is friendly to everyone he meets. Tye is good with
dogs, and great with cats. He would love to sit beside you and get his tummy rubbed all day.
Tye, was a stray in a Kentucky
shelter, when we stepped in on his behalf. He is active, but is perfectly content in observing the other
dogs. He absolutely has no problem with stairs or jumping into the car. Tye weighs about 40 pounds, is neutered and is
current with his vaccinations. He enjoys life, and is happy he has gotten a second chance at better life, which he
well deserves.

Sammy was adopted in January 2009.
He is a little Lhasa Apso mix who was picked up as a stray. He has only has one eye,
is partially deaf and has a little arthritis. Sammy still has a lot of life and love to give to someone willing to open up
their heart and home to an older dog with a disability. He gets along well with other dogs and cats.
|

Missy was adopted November 2008.
Missy a blind Australian Shepherd mix. She
was an owner relinquishment at a Pennsylvania shelter. Missy was
adopted by a family member, who open up her heart and home to her.
She now resides in her new home right next door to Pets with
Disabilities. We are so lucky to still get to see her everyday. |
 |
Petey was adopted March 2009.
Petey was picked up as a stray. When
Petey arrived at PWD, he had severe back legs issues. We thought Petey would need a
wheelchair but within a couple weeks, Petey amazed
us all. He started using his front legs to compensate for
his weak back legs. He was able to run and walk with just his
2 front legs. This little great natured terrier now
resides with a wonderful family in New York State |
 |
Macey was adopted January
2009.
Macey along with her litter was
found by some caring folks in Puerto Rico. These pups were
completely cover with ticks. Unfortunately, Macey contacted an
infection from the ticks, that made her blind. She was
medically treated for many months in Puerto Rico and was transported
safely to PWD to start her new life. She now
resides with a wonderful family in southern Maryland. |
 |
Jessie, adopted July, 2008.
Jessie was relinquished to PWD,
after her guardians, were unable to physically care for her.
We sent Jessie's bio and picture to a friend in California who had
recently lost her wheelchair dog. She fell in love with Jessie
instantly. We transported Jessie to her new home. What an extraordinary
person to want to adopt a paralyzed dog she had never met,
and on the other side of the country. They are both doing
great. Jessie is one awesome dog and deserved a second chance
at life. Adoptions like this are a miracle!! |
 |
Prancer adopted January 2009
This little guy was relinquished along with
his sibling to a local Maryland Shelter. Prancer's sibling
got adopted very quickly, but Prancer was left behind because of severe
problems with his back leg . They asked if we could take him on and
of course we said no problem.
Prancer was only with us for a week when we
asked our Pets with Disabilities friends Deb and Tim Ritchie of
Charlottesville, Virginia if they could make room for him. There was
no hesitation, this great couple came up to Maryland and adopted Prancer.
Prancer now lives happily with many other Chihuahuas
and a wheelchair dog named Teddy; they rescue last year from us.
Thank you Deb and Tim for giving Prancer a new and loving home. |

CHARLEY
ADOPTED APRIL 2009
Sometimes
special people, come along for special dogs. And this was the
case with Charley. Besides being physically disabled, Charley was
very timid and shy around humans. This couple was still willing to
adopt Charley and allow him the time to heal in their home.
Charley will join 3 cats and their rescue beagle. We are
thrilled for Charley and hope his trust in humans will only continue.
Latest report, from Charley's new adopters, is that
"Charley is doing great!"
|
| Charlie
is 2 year old gorgeous hound dog. He was
one of sixteen dogs taken from a breeder/ hoarder. Charley was the only
dog that survived. For the past 2 years of his life he was
kept outside, battling all the Ohio weather elements. At some point,
Charley broke his leg and was never taken to a vet for medical
care. Hence his leg has heal as shown in his picture. Can you
imagine the pain he endured. A kind couple from Maryland, found out
about Charley and ask if we had room for him at PWD. They went
and rescued Charley and got him safely to us. Charley
does not have a mean bone in his body. Everyone that meets him
falls instantly in love with his lovable hound face.
Charley will spend some extended time at PWD while he becomes more
trusting of humans. He is slow to warm up to people because he is so
shy and timid. He is starting to come around! Charley was taken
to our vet for an evaluation on his leg, amputation was not recommended
because he is NOT in any pain. Charley is considered a three legged
dog but runs like the wind with the other dogs. He will make a great
family pet! |
 |
TYSON was adopted April 2009
These PWD volunteers could not resist
little Tyson. We brought Tyson to his new home last night
where he will join 3 other rescue dogs and many rescued cats.
Tyson hopped right into the action last night like he had been part
of the pack his entire life. We are so thrilled for little Tyson.
Tyson is a small terrier
mix. He is 5 years old and weighs only 5 pounds. He has a slight
neurological issue in his back legs, but has been under great
medical care, and has regained most of the movement in his hind end. He came into rescue with a bb gun injury,
our vets are now certain this was the reason for his hind legs
problems. He gets along with dogs, loves his toys and so enjoys
sitting and cuddling with humans. He would be a great companion
dog.
|
 |
Bubbles, aka Rebel, adopted June 2009
Rebel, after a year of patiently
waiting, finally caught the eye of a wonderful couple in Bel Aire
Maryland. When we brought him to his new family Rebel now renamed,
"Bubbles", it was as if he had lived there forever. His blindness
was never an issue, they had room for another rescue dog, and Bubbles
caught their eye! Bubble's will join his two new guardians,
along with 2 other rescue dogs. Besides Bubbles getting a new
home, I believe we have found great friends that will help spread the
word on our mission
Rebel is a 15-pound Doxle, a doxie/beagle mix. He was placed on the endangered
dog list at our local animal shelter. Rebel has been rescued and thank goodness
this little blind dog is getting a second chance at life.
We are now
looking for his forever home. Rebel navigates his way through life
beautifully by his sense of smell and touch. Rebel is good with people,
other dogs, cats, and is crate and house trained. Rebel would be a
great companion dog and enjoys and needs the trust of people.

Frannie
adopted July 2009
Frannie, renamed by her new adopters
CoCo after, CoCo Chanel, a French designer, who was an orphan and grew up
slowly making her way until she became world renown. Not sure if
little CoCo will be world renown, but we do know she has now landed
safely with 2 great guardians and will be living quite a nice life
and will be well taken care of now! CoCo will spend her days playing
with her new sisters, and traveling between her city home and country
home. We are so happy for our little deaf girl.
Frannie, a 6 month old, Bijon/terrier
mix. This cute 8 pound bundle of energy was born or suffered a
neurological disorder which left her deaf and blind in her left eye.
She is a comical girl that will bring a smile to your face every day.
She is the smallest dog in our rescue, but can definitely hold her own
with the big dogs. She has fit into our rescue like a glove
and has learned the routine in a matter of days by following the other
dogs. She is a team player, respects the older dogs, and plays
with the younger dogs. She needs a patient caretaker that
will take the time to continue teaching her. Frannie was
a picked up as a stray at a local Maryland Shelter. |

Samantha adopted July 2009
Anna, came into our lives a few years
back when she first met us at a pet expo, never imagining that
she would be needing our assistance with one of her dogs. Rex, her
beloved German Shepherd, needed a wheelchair for the last part of
his life. While at the rescue little Samantha caught
Anna's eye and the two bonded. I believe dogs choose their people,
and Samantha was patiently waiting for Anna to recuperate from some health
problems. Finally, we took Samantha to her new home. When
we left, Samantha never looked back. She was enjoying her new
person and her new brother Bear, giving Anna lots of kisses, as they
were both watching Animal Planet on a wide screen TV. I think
Samantha will add a lot of joy to her new guardian's life. I
believe it was well worth the wait for Samantha!
|
|
Samantha is a 20-pound, little ball of energy, possibly a terrier/border collie or
Pomeranian mix. She is a quick and very intelligent young pup. She has a slight neurological issue
on the left side of her face, which makes her even cuter. Samantha gets along great with all the dogs.
Samantha needs a strong and creative handler. We think she would make a great agility dog. She is very
toy driven. She will definitely provide lots of joy and excitement to some lucky person.
She is current on shots and spayed. Samantha was relinquished by her owners at a local shelter.

LUCY
ADOPTED SEPTEMBER 2009
LUCY, an 11 pound, 8 year old Tzi Shu.
I went down this past weekend to pull a border collie, when I saw Lucy laying
in a little ball quietly in her cage. She had skin issues and
for some strange reason smelled like tar, and I knew with the way she
looked a rescue needed to step in on her behalf. I went back to the
shelter and rescued her. She has been vetted and was determine
her skin problems were most likely from fleas. Lucy, is being fostered and
just needs a little TLC. She has already shown quite an
improvement in just a few short days, since being with her foster
family! She is the sweetest, and most gentle dog you will ever
meet. She is great with dogs, cats and will make a wonderful companion to
a very lucky person. She is spayed up to date on her shots, and we
will have her teeth cleaned for her new adopters.

MILO
ADOPTED AUGUST 2009
Once again, this kind couple open up their
hearts to yet another blind dog, Milo, now renamed Pippen. Without
even meeting Pippen, this couple said, "YES we will take
him". Amazing dogs who were in charge of their destinies,
finding amazing people to give them a wonderful and safe home and
unconditional love. Meeting compassionate people who
just "get it" and understand, makes rescue work so rewarding.
We are so happy for Pippen!
Meet Milo, a 15 pound, 4 yr
old, blind
poodle. Milo was abandoned by his family in North Carolina,
and ended up in a shelter. A kind rescue got him out, and
transported him safely to PWD. All we can say about
Milo, is that he one little love bug, and will sit on about anyone's lap
if they let him, and who wouldn't! With in minutes, Milo
understood the lay of the land and got along with all the other rescue dogs.
He is one smart cookie, and will make be a great companion dog.

MOLLY
ADOPTED SEPTEMBER 2009
After 7 months, our Molly finally got
her angels, in the form of a loving home! Molly will enjoying
life in the north east, kayaking, and frolicking with her new sister, Winnie,
a fun and easy going Yorkie. Molly was a rescue favorite, we
are so happy for her! Thank you Amanda Mezick, for helping with
the adoption of Molly
Molly, a 5 year old, 40 pound,
Walker Coonhound. She was an owner relinquishment at a rural
Kentucky shelter. We are not sure how she lost her back rear leg,
but she is doing fantastic here at the rescue. Her favorite activity
is running the border line of our fenced in area. Molly had some anxiety when she arrive here, but within a couple weeks
she settled in nicely once she knew she was safe. Molly DOES
NOT like to be crated and she has free range of the
rescue. She is a sofa sleeper and will mostly likely
want to climb
into bed at her new home. Molly is very gentle girl, with
a sweet personality. She is also great with other dogs and cats, She
has become a rescue favorite and will make a great addition to a family.

SHAGGY
ADOPTED NOVEMBER 2009
SHAGGY is a young St Bernard mix
with the sweetest heart and kindest soul you'll ever meet.
Pure love flows out of this goofy, wiggly butt, sweetheart. She is SO
HAPPY to have a person to hang with - giving back 3 times any love given
to her. Shaggy wags the bushy tail - and can hardly contain herself
with new visitors - just waiting to welcome them to the rescue and show
them how easily dogs can overcome any of their history. Shaggy is a
rescue and visitor favorite - she's never met any person or any dog she
isn't happy to be with - and you just FEEL happy being with her.
She was found in the overnight drop box
at our local shelter, just another puppy that had been cast aside as disposable. But
- Shaggy does a great job of letting everyone know - she was not a soul to
be thrown away.
Shaggy's back legs and hips look a little
different then most dogs you'll meet, because our vet believes that both her knees had
been fractured either from growing up in a small crate or abuse.
Only Shaggy knows what happened to cause this, and she's not telling us. But
the good news is that Shaggy does not seem to be in pain and finally has
the freedom
to exercise and strengthen her muscles. She runs thru the back yard,
and will happily climb into your lap, although she will probably never be able to manage a
flight of stairs... so, Shaggy's new home needs to provide her
access to the yard and the family inside without requiring her to manage
stairs. She is a happy dog, always wagging her tail,
as if to say thank you for giving me a chance.
Shaggy is playful with the other dogs, wags
her tail constantly, but does tire quickly and is perfectly content
watching the other dogs play around her. Shaggy, is a great dog and
has endured so much in her short life. She handles her
disability like champ. She is one awesome dog that
deserves a wonderful loving home. We absolutely adore her here
at PWD. And she is great with children!

HARELY
ADOPTED DEC 2009
HARLEY
found a wonderful home with a family that recently lost a dearly loved
beagle! Harley is healing their hearts and making himself a
treasured member of the family.
Harley
is a very loving 1 1/2
year old beagle that adores attention. He has come upon some hard
times but he sure is a trooper. He has glaucoma and is blind in his left
eye. His right eye does need drops to keep the pressure from building up
but he still has limited vision in this eye. We
will take him to our eye doctor to get a full evaluation. Even with
this against him he has plenty to give. We believe that Harley has a
little bit of basset hound in him, which makes him a little shorter than
his fellow beagles. He loves to play keep away and if you give him a
belly rub he will be your friend forever.
Harley did have a brother, a cocker
spaniel, so he would probably love to have another dog in the house with
him. He would love a place that has a small back yard for he loves to
sniff and investigate. He loves to go on walks. Altogether he simply
needs a great home with lots of love. He will always greet you with a tail
wag and tons of kisses. He never fails to light up your day!
 |
Jordon Conley is Harley's angel!!

SAM
ADOPTED JAN 2010
When
I arrive in the barn tonight something was missing, ahhh yes
that great big hound hello. I already miss Sam
but so happy he finally found his person! Who would have thought
after 2 huge snowfalls in one week a miracle adoption would happen! Sam, will
be the only dog and will finally get all the love and attention he so
deserves! Thanks Margie.
SAM
- a one year old gorgeous hound
mix that loves to run, with nose to the ground, all over the rescue
grounds. He's very connected to people - and really enjoys the
company and play of other dogs. He came to us from the Fairfield Area Humane Society in Ohio.
He was swept out of their local shelter right before he was scheduled to
be euthanized. We must commend the local humane society for
helping Sam. He is healthy, strong, and vibrant.
Sam has these very unique front legs,
he was most likely born with them
- so, although, strange to watch for us "humans" - this is Sam's
normal - and they don't slow him down one bit. The vet did not recommend amputation because he
handles his disability like a
champ and is not in any pain. He plays and runs all over
the rescue with the other dogs - sometimes we have to remind him to
"take a break". He has a heart of gold and craves
human attention and love. He is just waiting for that special family
looking for an active dog, that loves to cuddle, and comes with some
unique appendages!! When you get to know him - you can only smile
watching him race across the yard to come meet you. Sam is not good with cats.

Thank
you - Kelly Jim and Trinity Sandacz
for being an angel to Sam!

you Janet Cornwell for

GERTIE
has joined the Army, well not really! Little Gertie,
caught the eye and heart of a great friend to Pets with
Disabilities. Besides her loving guardian, Gertie now
Misty, will join a wonderful dog family to help her
navigate thru life. We are thrilled for Misty!
Gertie
has
microphthalmia in both eyes and is blind and is a
little shy but she is coming out more and more every day.
Gertie is finally starting to use her nose to seek me out. She
should be a relatively small dog when full grown. And since she is blind at such a young age,
she will adjust to new environments
wonderfully.... this is not a handicap for these dogs - it's just their life as "normal"
Isn't she adorable?? We are really
enjoying having them.... (Megan, our blind public relations
director, has taken the pups under her wing)

Thank
you, Sharon Sirkis for being
an angel to Gertie

Every
weekend Ean was scheduled to be transported to PWD over the past
several months - the weather cancelled the transport. When the
rescue in NC took him to the vet to be neutered last week, the vet that
had been treating his legs was shocked to see him again - and amazingly
happy. Ean will be living with the vet that fell in love with him -
and obviously have the best care as he grows up managing his
disability. He had many fans here at PWD... but, we're happy he
found his forever home.
Say "Hello" to
EAN. This is an adorable, 8 lb, 12 week old pup coming to Pets
with Disabilities soon. He was born with some very unique front legs
- they have been described as "wings" - in that they seem to
fold into themselves - but that doesn't seem to slow him down one
bit!! He races around and even goes over stairs.
He'll have x-rays this week
to determine any corrective actions that might be recommended - but, as
Sam as told us, unique front legs are just a different "normal"
- and life is always fun.

Pearl
now Twinkles, will join a well balanced dog family, and human
family! Twinkles will join another blind beagle, friendly hound and
active border collie, and a very loving women who believes in the word
rescue. Thank you for opening up your heart to another special needs
dog! Meeting folks like Jennifer makes us keep rolling.
Pearl has
microphthalmia in one eye, but has limited vision in the other eye.
Pearl gets along really well, it is almost
like she is sighted. She uses the beagle in her to listen and smell
everything new. She turns her head from side to side when I talk to her
and then runs in my direction.
She
should be a relatively small dog when full grown. And since she is
blind at such a young age, she will adjust to new environments
wonderfully.... this is not a handicap for these dogs -
it's just their life as "normal"
Isn't she adorable?? We are really
enjoying having her.... (Megan, our blind public relations director, has
taken the pups under her wing)

Barney
Adopted April 2010
Barney found a wonderful home
in NJ with a family that appreciates dogs that know how to live a
different kind of normal, since he will have a 3 legged dog as new
playmate. Barney captured their hearts as he explored and played
with his new friend. He made himself at home, navigating stairs,
picking up nylabones, and settling in for some well deserved
cuddles. We want to thank the 12yr old boy in the family - he found
Barney on-line and promptly asked his parents if he could join the
family.... it gives us tremendous hope in the next
generation!!
Barney's new life started when
he was found abandoned in at a veterinarians office parking lot. The
staff thought he was a skunk until he excitedly welcomed them once in
their office. They soon discover he was blind.
Amazing little guy who most likely survived the evening just waiting for
some kind folks to help him. He immediately grabbed the hearts of the
staff. They cared for him, and thanks to 2 kind women transported
him safely to us.
Barney is a bundle of love with all sorts of
positive happy puppy energy. You would never know he was blind.
He has made himself quite comfy on his
sofa. Not sure how he knew to jump up on the sofa but
he figures life out very quickly! He is a smart little puppy
and already housebroken. Barney sticks to me like glue,
anywhere and everywhere I go, and has begun to negotiate steps. We
are so happy Barney made it to us. What an trooper he is, and
an amazing survival story! We think Barney is a lab/border collie
mix.

Thank
you Marsha
Robertson for being
Barney's angel

Fisher Everit & Richard Everit are Barney's angels -
thank you

Snowy
Adopted May 2010 Snowy,
now Jack, has been adopted to great family in northern Virginia,
which include another deaf dog named Benny! Jack is
now learning all sorts of new things like going thru his new
doggy door! With the kindness and patience of humans
these dogs can lead amazing and incredible lives. Thank you, Suzanne and
Ron, for opening up your heart and home to another dog with special
needs and making a safe haven for them.
SNOWY is a 5 mo old collie mix with
the softest fur!! And, he is sweet, sweet, sweet!!
Snowy came from a rural shelter in WV, found as a stray. He is blind
in one eye and has partial vision in the other - we also believe he has
some minor hearing loss. He came into the rescue - so HAPPY to meet
everyone and all the dogs. This little guy has no issues with his
disabilities - or anything life has to offer him. He loves to
cuddle, plays with the other puppies here, and has a unique joy for
life. We're so thankful the shelter staff went out of their way to
get him to us - he's going to make a wonderful member of some lucky
family.

Leroy
Adopted June 2010 Leroy
found his permanent home with his foster Mom and her other dogs. She
fell in love with him and decided she couldn't part with him. We're
thrilled for both of them - Leroy will be loved for the rest of his life!
Say "HI" to LEROY! He
was rescued from one of our local
shelters. What a wonderful, sweet, handsome boy he is. Leroy
is a blind poodle, 10 pounds, approx 8 yrs old. He is completely
housebroken and absolutely loves to cuddle. He's doing really well
adjusting to his new surroundings - and is very connected to people.
Leroy is not overly active, he hasn't shown
any interest in toys yet - he just really enjoys "hangin" with
his person - a fairly "low maintenance companion" at this time.

Thank you Barbara
Sappington for being Leroy's angel in honor of my Diesel Thank you
Sandra
Medock
for
being an angel to Leroy! |

After
our fundraiser last month a very good friend of mine and PWD, came by to
take a peak at the pups! Not knowing, she would fall for
Jay! Jay's new home is now New Jersey. He has
joined a very active canine and feline family, her border collies
will certainly keep Jay rolling we hope for many more years! Thank
you Janice for opening up your heart and home to this kind old soul,
and making room for us to rescue another disabled senior!
A big
thank you to Brad and Karen Killian for taking a special interest in Jay
at their local shelter and getting him safely to us.
Jay (or JJ) - is a happy
senior mix breed dog - he was left in a PA shelter - found as a stray. He is
deaf and has impaired vision, but
has no problems managing the big yard at the rescue with his tail always
high and wagging. Jay would love to have a person of his own,
because as much as he likes his walks, he really loves being with his
person. He is living with a roomate at the rescue and has no
handling issues. We're really not sure how old Jay is - but,
we do know that he deserves to spend his "retirement days" in
the arms of a loving family. Please contact us for more information
about Jay - we'd love to tell him we received an application for him.

After
being abandoned by his people to be euthanized, this older pup, has
found new life with a wonderful young couple in Frederick Maryland!
They were willing and ready and able to help another senior
disabled pet. Taz will join another older 3 legged chi, and
many feline friends. We are thrilled for Taz.
Special
thanks to Kristy Anderson, who was working at the Calvert humane
society the night Taz was abandoned and took a special interest in him, and
a big thank you to Gee Freeman for fostering Taz and making
the transition to a new home easier on him and his new adopters
Here is TAZ!! and this how Taz came to be at
PWD:
(written by Kristy Andersen, a shelter employee)
Thursday Evening a lady walked into the
kennel around 3pm with a small dog in her arms, she says to me "I'm
here to drop off my dog", I said "oh, are you boarding"
Knowing well she was not there for that. She responds " No, I'm here
to drop him off for good".
I asked what the problem was and she said she was moving and just cannot
keep him anymore. The first time I looked at him, I knew he was not an
"adoptable dog". When I spoke to her more and got more
information about "Taz", I learned that he was 13 years old,
completely blind, and partially deaf. He also has vestibular disease,
horrible teeth, bad ears, skin problems, his feet were encrusted
with feces so bad that Sally asked "are those tumors on his
feet?", and his toe nails were VERY long and curled under so far they
were embedded in the dried up feces on his feet. I'm sure it was painful
for him to walk. It sounded like he had tap shoes on when he walked. It
was disgusting!
If we didn't take him he was guaranteed certain death at TCS where she was
headed after our kennel. I have no authority to say yes, so thank god
Sally pulled in and just said, here just sign him over! I came in
early for my shift on Friday to attempt to bathe him, he smelled so bad,
and I knew his feet were painful. He was very good in the tub, I had to
soak his feet in order to get the dried up feces off of them. He was very
dirty, and his ears were filthy.
I called Joyce Darrell with Pets with Disabilities to see if she could
assist us. She came to meet him Thursday night before he was all cleaned
up. She didn't think he needed to be euthanized just because he was
13 and had some health issues: he was eating, drinking, and still
seemed happy. I basically was begging her to take him!! Today she
brought over her 3 legged lab Casey to test him with other dogs, the two
did not pay one mind to each other. She was amazed at how much better he
looked just in 3 days. You can tell that he feels better also. He is
getting around much better, and for the first time I heard him bark and
saw him wag his tail this morning... Today I signed Taz over to PWD
.Thank you to Joyce and PWD for taking on "Taz" and giving him
the love and attention he deserves in his senior years!
Taz has had his necessary vet
care.... Isn't he handsome??? He's become a very happy guy,
all cleaned up, able to walk pain free, and eating some great food. If
you're interested in sharing your lap with a sweet guy during his senior
years, please contact us.

Chubbs is a 5 year old
longhaired mini-dachshund. He is an awesome dog and a gentle soul He
loves to romp outside and when he looses a bit more weight, he will
"gitty up to his gallop!" Chubbs is great with
other dogs, kids and adults. He is totally blind, a bit overweight,
and has a allergy to grass that is controlled by over the counter benedryl.
He very much deserves a loving home willing to work with his
weight control and provide a safe environment for his blindness.
