URGENT NEEDS...SERIOUSLY

Ok well at this point everyone is urgent, but here are a few of the most urgent cases (the other dogs in immediate need will be posted in a few days). All of these pups have been at the shelter or in boarding for almost 2 months (some even more...). Marcy (Pittie) has waited and waited at the front of the shelter for anyone to even look her way. She is a sweetheart and doesn't even mind cats (she needs heartworm treatment so badly and a foster home). Red (Chow mix) is super sweet and he will make a wonderful companion; however like most pups, he could use some basic training (leash, basic commands, etc.). Joe (Lab/Pit mix?) has heeled now from his broken leg and may have a Rescue Group take him if he can get out of the shelter. Katie (oh what a sweet girl...) has seen several roomates "get saved", yet she still sits in her jail. Katie needs heartworm treatment desperately. Smokey (was actually heartworm negative at last check) still sits in a cage at the vet's office in boarding. He is nearly out of time as well (funding is basically gone at this point). Lastly, there's Bandit (Blue Heeler mix). Bandit is so close to being the perfect dog- all he needs is some basic training and an active family. He has sat at the shelter in the little kennel for far too long for any pup. Please open your hearts and homes- we will provide whatever they need. Call us or email us asap!

MEET PRECIOUS NEW PUPS: CATHERINE & CAMERON

Poor Catherine (black & white) and Cameron (tan) are homeless... These two litter mates desperately need a temporary foster home. We are pretty sure these cuties will be adopted in no time. Unfortunately, they had to be moved to boarding at a vet's office due to overcrowding at the shelter (less than ideal for 2 playful pups). Please help them...

RAZOR IS ON HIS WAY TO COLORADO!

FINALLY-Razor is on his way to a better life! Well one of our volunteers agreed to let Razor bunk at her house last night before leaving to go to his Rescue Group in Colorado (THANK YOU TRENNY & LINDA). Our volunteer's sister, Kelly, drove all the way from St. Louis to get him and will take him to St. Louis to meet "his ride" to Colorado (THANK YOU TOM). Poor Razor was so excited to get out of the shelter that he kept Kelly up all night long. He couldn't get enough of the balls, rope toys, bones, Kongs, fishing poles (yes...he thought those were toys too...oops), and affection. Whoever adopts this boy will have a wonderful companion. Once again THANK YOU KELLY and everyone who made his rescue possible!

MEET ASHLEY JORDAN- SHE NEEDS MORE ANGELS

Oh my...another dog needing some angels. This is Ashley Jordan. This sweet girl was found standing in the middle of a very busy street in downtown Memphis. The man in the car in front of them actually leaned out the door of his truck and spit on her (don't even get us started about him...). She looked so pathetic... so bewildered... so lonely. Thankfully, 2 of our volunteers were able to rescue her (poor thing came willingly). By some miracle, this precious girl has actually tested negative for heartworms and negative for intestinal parasites. All Ashley Jordan needs is a loving home (please consider fostering her until we can find a permanent home) with alot of TLC. Call Allison at 901-240-9848 immediately if you can help her- she doesn't deserve to live in a cage at the vet's office, but there is no room anywhere for her. You can read more about her story on her petfinder profile.

MEET ANOTHER NEWBIE: MAXIE

This is Maxie- what a doll! Maxie was found by a good samaritan (he was apparently a mess when they found him). They cleaned him up and tried very hard to make him part of the family. The only problem is that they had a small child and Maxie was a bit too food possessive to take a chance. He really enjoyed playing with another male dog at the shelter during pictures and was friendly with the volunteers. In the right home, Maxie will certainly thrive.

CREW LEFT FOR RESCUE TODAY!

We are pleased to report that Juno, Annabelle, Tommy, Tigger, Caroline, Brandy, and Brady all left for their forever homes up North! Thanks to everyone who saved these precious dogs- you stepped up when no one else would and we are so grateful!

SOME PEOPLE ARE CRUEL...MEET HOLLY

Oh my goodness...this is Holly. Would you believe that Holly was actually abandoned in a crate on the side of a busy highway? Well it's true. She is extremely lucky that someone found her. On top of being abandoned, this sweet little girl had an embedded collar in her neck (we apologize for the graphic picture, but feel that people should know the history of some of our sweet pups...). Despite her ordeal, Holly is a very loving girl. Please someone, foster this sweetie- she is living in a crate in the medical room due to overcrowding. After everything she has been through, she deserves so much more.
