Meet Olive!

Olive came to us from Ohio. She was on death row at an overcrowded shelter there and we decided we'd take her as a hospice case and let her live out her final days in peace. She came to us as close to death as we've ever seen a dog: you could see every bone in her body and had horrible anemia from fleas and parasites. We found out she is diabetic and left untreated for so long that is what damaged her eyes beyond repair and caused her extreme weight loss. Conveniently her foster dad is also diabetic so she was in good hands for her recovery! Even though she is completely blind she has recovered (with daily insulin injections) and is doing amazingly well. She loves to hang out with the big dogs and considers it her duty to patrol the cats at her foster home. She is such a funny and amazing dog. She would love sponsorship for her medications and food.

Introducing Madelyn!

Sweet Madelyn came to us from death row and is a shih tzu/bichon mix. Her shivering in the video the shelter posted online broke out hearts, and we knew we had to get her. Madelyn appeared paralyzed in the video and had minimal use of her back legs when she came to us. After a visit to vet it was determined that the cause of this was that she had a bladder infection that had been left untreated long enough it caused paralysis. Luckily, the damage has been somewhat reversible and she can walk and even trot now (she is 15 years old after all!). She LOVES her foster dad, hair dryers after a bath, and barking at the other dogs when they are eating (even if she doesn't want it). She's been with us a few months now and shows no signs of slowing down. Madelyn has an amazing monthly sponsor that sends $100/month for her (and other seniors in need)! We GREATLY appreciate  this sponsorship!! Madelyn is not available for adoption because she is a hospice foster.
