Will You Help a Homeless Animal?
Winter is here and so is cold weather.  As you clean your home and garage, remember that one man's trash is another man's treasure.  Area shelters are always in need of towels, sheets, blankets and quilts. They will graciously accept used (but good condition) pet beds, toys, dishes, kennels & crates.

Did you know that should you buy a food (or treats) that your pet does not like, you can donate it to your local shelter?  Dry cat and kitten food is in great demand as well. Also desperately needed...BLEACH.  Shelters use ALOT of bleach to help control illness and odor. If schedules do not allow you to take items to the shelter, please leave them with us.  We will be HAPPY to drop them off for you!
Shadow came to us because she lacked manners and training. She loved to jump on people and accidentally knocked a toddler down. We trained her and found her a wonderful home where she is living the high life!
~ Adoption Success Stories ~

The following dogs came to us from various sources but all had two things in common, they were about to become homeless and they had no formal obedience training.  We invested a little time training them and a lot of time finding them THE perfect home. Congratulations to the following people!  You have found a true companion! (Stay tuned and watch as this section grows!)
Bella came to us because her family had no time to train her. She had no manners and was not housebroken. She was such a sweet dog that she quickly wiggled her way into all our hearts. She was adopted by Jennifer O'Donnell and her fiance Shawn.
Gotti came to us because the children in the household were afraid of him. He was under a year old and had no manners. We trained him and just before Christmas 2007, he was adopted by Diane Petras and her son Mikey. Diane and Gotti recently joined our training team!
Sheba came to us when her owner moved to an apartment that did not allow dogs. She had spent most of her life in a crate or in an outside kennel. She had not training and was fearful of strangers and new situations. We trained her and brought her out to all group sessions to meet new people. One of our clients saw Sheba during training classes, fell in love with her and adopted her!

Savannah had been credited with saving a prior owner's life in a fire; however, the fire left her without a home and family. After spending close to 6 months in private boarding, Savannah was adopted and went to her new home on Chirstmas Eve. One could not have asked for a better present!

Cocoa is an ADORABLE Dutch Shepherd Mix adopted from a shelter last year.  Her family can no longer keep her because of her high prey drive with their cat.  Cocoa is around 2 years old, spayed and up to date on her vaccines.  She is good with other dogs and children but NOT cats.  Cocoa knows basic obedience and is eager to please.

Zeus was brought to us when an area shelter wanted to euthanize him for no other reason than his breed. Zeus was left tied to a tree to die when his breeder moved away.
Lilah was a purebred black lab that came to us when she and the other household dog could no longer get along together. She was adopted by one of our clients and went hoome shortly before Christmas. She lives with her fur sister, a golden, with no problems.
Zorro was a young schnauzer mix (around one year old) that was given up because he was too much for his owner to handle. After only a few weeks with us, Zorro was adopted.
