... on April 18, 2011 wife Val returned from the failed Lewiston FL 'sanctuary' with several blind doggies, including Dolly who was so very sick: eyes swollen shut with infection, ears just as bad, maggots in open sores, broken teeth - Dolly was a mess and very ill and in much pain.

Dolly has limited vision and hearing and requires limited daily care for her dry-eye, including affordable over-the-counter eye drops (several month's worth provided). Otherwise Dolly is now very healthy and has a great appetite including for healthy raw and/or kibble ... and for loving.

Dolly Fun Facts: Dolly loves the big house fan and will face and stare into it (please see pic!); Dolly sleeps soundly and will 'put herself to bed' in her beloved crate; Dolly enjoys her leash walks and always does 'all business' while on walk; Dolly will bark when she needs out (and when hungry!); Dolly enjoys cuddling though it is obvious she has been hurt by humans so is slightly reserved until she trusts you, then Dolly LOVES to be touched and held and loved on ... is Dolly the right doggie to join your family?

Dory(Australian Shepherd/Catahoula) Puppy needs a Mama!

Last day on Death Row in Pell City AL, blind puppy Dory needed a miracle. Wife Val could not bear it, called wonderful volunteer Neva and they met on handoff - Dory was safe!

Dory had spent the last three weeks in a concrete cell with her twin and a pair of smaller puppies, all blind, Absolutely no interest until the last day when all were freed... Dory was SO happy to feel grass under her feet and the wind on her fur. Dory's sister and friends went north to fosters with BDRA and Dory was welcomed here.

Dory arrived happy yet insecure, full of worms and skinny. Dory has been fully vetted and is up-to-date on all shots, spayed and microchipped, and is settling in nicely, spending nights inside and most days outside, weather permitting, where she plays, runs about, hides all of her stuff in her doghouse and ... stands on top of the doghouse!

Dory needs a Mom very badly; likely Dory was seperated from her furry Mama too early. Dory is super sweet, very affectionate, happy to give and receive loving yet is not confident as a doggie, though we love on her and work to spend much time with this litle sweetie.

Dory appears to see just a tiny bit - shadows perhaps - yet her other senses are keen and she maps out areas well. Dory is totally healthy otherwise, with some of the most beautiful, plush fur you will ever see.

Dory is close to potty trained, though like all puppies needs more frequent walks than adult doggies. Dory is just learning leash walking and is a very smart little girl.

Dory is medium energy level, medium sized, very athletic, likely born Oct 2011, Heartworm negative (yeah!) and current on all meds, HW and flea treatments. Dory just lacks a Mom, family, pack and/or a Furever Home.

Dory Fun Facts: Dory's expressions are funny to watch, Dory can howl - also funny - and her entire body appears to wiggle when she is approached. Dory loves affection, gives great kisses, enjoys hugging, plays and hides all of her toys when not in use. A Dory on the dog-house roof is a fairly common and amusing sight!

Might Dory be the doggie you are looking for. If you will provide Dory a small place in your heart and home, Dory will provide you a lifetime of loyal love and affection. Email us and soon sweet Dory can be giving you those kisses.

Harmony has a Furever Home with Amanda and Jacob!!!  Yeah!  :-)~

Harmony is a Miniature Pinscher, blind and diabetic and a very happy girl!  Harmony is energetic, loves giving kisses, curling up with you (or in a blanket or her kennel) and enjoys her walks.  Harmony would literally be happy cuddling with her human 24-hours a day - she is a lovey, this one.  Harmony gets along well with our entire pack, has tons of personality and is a positive and happy girl.   

Harmony was nearly euthanized by her past human, then our vet's office called and asked if we could take her in.  She's been fully vetted, HW- and on HW preentative and her diabetes is completely under control requiring 2 shots daily.  Harmony is completely blind yet is extremely smart and has mapped our two homes and yards out, goes up and down stairs easily and travels about comfortably.

Harmony now has a Furever Home and family with Mandy and Jacob and their pack.  We will always love Harmony and are thankful for all the joy she brought to our pack and family.

 Macey (Zihna)

On May 2, 2010  I  carried perfect Macey for the last time in this world, to a backyard burial site, and now she is waiting, playing at Rainbow Bridge.

Val and I are so thankful to each of you for your support and especially to those who brought Macey to us: Danielle, Colleen & Karen who facilitated Macey to BDRA, Kim for noticing an issue during transport and keeping her in VA (which allowed Andrew to go to Karen & Eric and on to a Forever Home).  Kim and Val then spent a Sunday transporting this sweet girl back home to us.

Though a BDRA doggie, Macey had good vision; she was mostly deaf and had neurological issues and learning disabilities.  Macey truly was at home and we were perfect for her.  Val has a deaf sister and a daughter, Kayla, that passed away at 16 from heart failure and also had some issues that Macey faced.  So - though not blind at all - Macey through BDRA found herself in our home, the one right place in the world for her.

That same day, I did a write-up for Macey's adoption page and we laughed about it, knowing Macey would not be adopted - too many issues.  Macey would live all her life with us and Val was already figuring what to do next winter as Macey just loved being outdoors all day and would pout and whine when kept in. 

Of course we built her a special pen, placed along a tree line for shade plus covered too.  Macey would play there, with us or alone, sometimes with Mama Buffy or neighbor doggie Rascal.  She loved to lie low, ready to pounce on her prey - us!  Macey enjoyed her rawhides, stuffies and being loved on.  It took awhile, yet she gave such good kisses and loved the ritual of nighttime loving before bed, a loving she received each and every night ... good for her and even better for us.

All of us will pass, though we know not when.  Some will have long lives, others like Macey short ones.  We can only hope to really have lived ... Macey really did live.  Macey played, she was happy, she loved us and we loved Macey.  Macey knew she was home here and fit right in to our pack of misfits, defectives and cast-offs.  Macey was a Bassim and a BDRA doggie and again Val and I thank each of you for helping make that true.  Please enjoy lovely Macey's pictures, attached.
