Just in - to be named

Just in - ??? is an approx. 3 month old sable male puppy. He came from an Arkansas shelter. Someone had placed this puppy in a pet carrier and abandoned him on someone's door step! He was absolutetly terrified in the shelter. The shelter felt it was in his best interest to spend time in rescue to be socialized. He was loaded with worms (to the point of being anemic) and loaded with ear mites. He is getting fed quality dog food, a vitamin supplement, and being treated for his ear mites. He is already feeling much better! He is settling in to his foster home and so far, so good. He is learning to be crate trained and house broken. For more information, contact Kim at kimfike@bellsouth.net .

On medical hold - "Piper"

On medical hold- Piper is a 5 to 7 year old sable female. She was found wandering by a nice family that took her in.She was extremely dehydrated and emaciated. She weighed only 5 pounds! They kept her for a while and then turned her over to a shelter. A foster family for the shelter took great care of her, and she now weighs 10 pounds. The shelter turned her over to Sheltie rescue so we could treat her for heartworms. She has finished her treatment and will be spayed in about a month. She will be ready for adoption in mid July. She is shy but really working hard to build her trust in people. She is crate trained and working on getting housebroken. For more information, contact Kim at kimfike@bellsouth.net .

On medical hold - "Cooper"

On medical hold - Cooper came from the Memphis Animal Shelter where he was picked up as a stray. He had been shaved and apparently attacked by another dog. He was also heartworm positive. His wounds have healed, he has finished his heartworm treatment, and he has been neutered. He is around 3 years old and BIG for a Sheltie. He stands 19 inches at the back and weighs 40 pounds. He gets along fine with other dogs, is crate trained, and housebroken. He is very sweet and wags his tail constantly. Update: We have discovered some medical problems with this sweet boy. He was limping and x-rays showed arthritis in both elbows, secondary to severe elbow dysplasia. We are raising money so that he can have total elbow replacement surgery.
