12 weeks, 12 lbs currently

This is the info I received:

“Hey Everybody,
This past Sat,. I was at the Douglasville animal control this picking up two senior dogs for their foster homes.  While I was filling out the paperwork for them, two men walked in carrying this sweet little bundle.  They said that they had almost run over her and thatthey were bringing her in because they lived in an apartment that didn’t allow dogs.  The shelter intake director explained to them that although this was not their dog, he was obligated to tell them that she would immediately be put to sleep because the puppy room was quarantined and the adult kennel was full.  The director said that 35 dogs came in after the holidays and that there was absolutely no room. The men said that they had no choice and that they wanted to release her to them regardless.  Of course, I couldn’t let that happen, so after many promises to my husband that we would not add to our six dog household, I brought her home.  I have taken her to the vet and have had her first round of puppy shots and she is said to be in excellent health.  The vet said that she is about 12-weeks old and weighs about 12 pounds.  I can’t tell you how sweet, affectionate and calm she is!  I don’t even have to walk her on a leash in our quiet neighborhood.  She is right at my feet as that is where most cattledogs like to be.  As mentioned, I have six dogs who are now acting very needy, jealous and ornery to each other now that they know another little being is in the house.  Please help spread the word about this sweet girl who will instantly become a wonderful addtion to any family!  I will send a second round of pictures in another email.  Now is the perfect time for little Noel to spread some joy into someone’s home.  Thanks!  Tracy 404-545-0603″

The handsome boy is looking remarkably better already.  He still needs to gain some weight before he can begin heart worm treatment but what a difference some meals and TLC can make huh?  Wish him luck, he still has some hurdles to jump…you can check his progress at

Smiling Patrick 12-1-09

a much happier Patrick

Gyp needs a home.

Gyp’s owner recently died and she is not adapting well to 15 month old in the house…please contact me for more details and spread the word.  She is 6 years old, spayed & healthy.

the beautiful girl on the left, she's cool with other dogs but not so sure about toddlers.

lovely lady, she looks so much like Whit's father it's crazy

11/13/09 Patrick was found on the side of the road with a gash in the top of his head; vet thinks either from being hit by a car or being hit in the head by someone intentionally.  Sorry to say-no way to find out who did these horrible things to him, or how long he has suffered.

Patrick is very emaciated, 20+lbs underweight and tested positive for heart worms.  So it will be some time before he will be well enough to withstand heart worm treatment.  Patrick has an infection in both eyes and a very bad kidney infection.  He will need weeks of antibiotics to clear up the infections in his eyes, kidney and skin.  Patrick has raw elbows on all legs, probably from being housed on a hard surface.

He will need months of recuperation, vet visits, medicines, lots of healthy meals and a comfy bed to lay his head.  If you are able, could you please donate to help him?

There is a special donation fund, reserved just for Patrick’s needs
