Patrick O'Malley
We met a dog whose eyes avoided human faces and whose body recoiled with every kind hand that attempted to comfort him. His former owner simply surrendered the dog for euthanasia and a quick fix for a wicked person’s moment of remorse. We swallowed hard and held the tears that would surely upset the poor animal whose neglect, abuse, and lack of gentle human contact broke his spirit and condemned the timid dog to death if the former owner’s wishes were granted.Patrick wagged his tail and play bowed for the first time two days after our rescue put him into foster, but his journey is still just beginning. However, it is a journey of recovery that all of us will share. It is a journey that will remind us that as long as there is suffering, we will struggle to save them. One by one at times, but one dog that will make all of the difference in our mission and his new family’s lives.
Sweet Bonnie Lass
She was Blondie at the shelter and is now known as Bonnie. She is a sweet, calm and gentle creature who loves everyone who loves her back. She has wonderful house manners. She entertains herself with a toy, calmly follows you around to see if you need any help with anything or just lays down on a blanket. Bonnie struts her stuff on the streets and is looking for what she deserves--love and safety. She is highly trained: sit, stay, lay down, off, and no. Heartworm negative/all shots.
