I wanted to share some recent photos from Andy and Jen. These are the faces of the animals you have helped rescue.
Patch, who was rescued from the city’s dog pound, where all animals are executed after three days. They have no funds to feed the animals, so they go to their deaths scared AND hungry. Andy and Jen visit the pound when they have space available and try to rescue dogs they believe have a chance at being rehomed. The pound’s director is a kind woman who does the best she can with what little she is given to work with.
New batch of puppies that came in, and their patient mama
Oh, you darling thing.
Wayne, remember these puppies? Lookie the little white guy, how he’s grown! With his curly hair he looks like a little sheep…I want him!!
The last batch of puppies above were left outside the shelter’s gate inside this bird cage. Can you believe it?
Here are some of the shelter’s longer-term residents:
Pogo on the right and Vero on the left. Pogo came to the shelter with a badly healed machete wound where apparently someone had tried to take his head off. Vero is so cute, her markings make her look as if she has a different dog’s head on her body.
Big Boy Thor, the gentle giant. Formerly abused and now with a permanent, loving home with Andy and Jen.
Trina…doesn’t she look like she’s smiling?
That was just a special treat for everyone, I think they all wanted to thank you for everything you did for the shelter. Enjoy your Monday–I hate Mondays myself, but these pics just put me in a better mood.
These faces are so amazing – WOW.

They sure do pull at the heart strings, don’t they! I better stay home for awhile. That curly blond might just get the better of me!

I can’t stop coming in to look at the pic of momma dog feeding her babies. If that dog is not related to Tasha, I will eat my new bestseller.

My face is wet again. Thanks Heather, you’ve reminded me yet again why we so love dogs that need rescuing. They love whoever loves them and so many of them are just ready for the home where they will belong.
