JUST in 5/23/09. Some JERK skipped town and left his dog to fend for herself. It's quite obvious that she has had numerous litters of puppies. We're pretty sure she is the Grandmother to the recent puppies that we adopted out. Who did this? Who would be so cruel? Who wouldn't love this sweet Mastiff girl? We're guessing her age to be four years old. Who loves cats, puppies, kids and people? WHO, that's who!!The daughter and puppies are shown below. They have all been adopted, thank you adoptors.
Another plea for help...... Actual e-mail Feb. 13th: Linda, I guess you're right, when it rains it pours. I saw this poor gal in December and talked to the town people about helping but no one, including myself could get anywhere near her. The minute I stepped out of the truck she was gone. They told me they would have to shoot her if they couldn't catch her. Of course they didn't have the heart but didn't know what to do, so they tried to ignore her. I saw her once around Christmas and kept praying I could catch her. I didn't see her again so assumed she had died somewhere or she was shot. She was in poor shape then. A week ago I caught a glimpsed of her and it just made me sick to see how bad off she was. She looked pregnant; I just don't know what she subsisted on. I have truly lost sleep over this one! On Monday I saw her again and knew she had puppies, well of course I worried even more. This morning on my way to work I saw her sunning herself by a hay stack and suspected, keeping my fingers crossed that maybe the puppies were close by. I had my hotdogs ready but she bolted. But luck shined on me and the puppies were within the hay stack, yeah!! I was so afraid that she would move them. I borrowed a wire cage from Shelly so mama couldn't take them and Shelly went to town for a trap (bless her heart!!) She set it and kept checking it while I was delivering mail. Late in the afternoon, Shelly actually got the mama cornered and snared her. So another big yeah!! Sorry to be so long winded but I am just so ecstatic to catch her and her puppies they can have a chance. For being on her own this long she has offered no resistance once caught. She even wagged her tail tonight when I told her she was a good girl. So anyway here are some pictures. I must have some emotional attachment going on because I would like to make sure they get a good start before kindly asking if you could help me place them in good homes. I will start saving to pay for their vet work; thankfully there are 5 boys and 2 girls. So that helps since neuters are cheaper. Vicki Pet Pals, Inc. has agreed to pay for all vet fees and help save these poor soles lives. While some rescues or shelters aren't up to par, we "Walk the Talk". ANY donations are appreciated and put to VERY good use. Bless you!Linda York, President
This is RIDICULOUS. Another poor sole dumped on a county road along with her two puppies. Most likely there were more puppies but they were probably killed. A mail carrier happened to find these three and called for our help. There were no houses for a good half a mile. Now named Freezy, this poor girl has an injured lower lip. It appears that someone wrapped wire or tape around her lip. She also has cuts under her neck. Freezy's back bone and ribs stick out from starvation. Freezy is now finally wagging her tail. She was found on County Road F. Let's see....It was freezing at only 9' and her boobies were frozen so the name Freezy came to mind! Her pups are now named Flurry (it was snowing) and Flicker (for the glint of hope they hung onto). And the person who did this also has a name starting with F (for obvious reasons), but I better not type it here. How could someone be SO cruel? Sick, sick, SICK
This is Angel.... She's not a perfect Angel but I'm in love with her! Angel ended up at a kill pound because she protected her yard when a small dog came into it. Mastiffs are protective. Please research the breed before filling out an application. Angel weighs 135 pounds and we're pouring the food to her because she's skinny! Angel will NOT be placed in a home with small pets or someone that doesn't know the breed.UPDATE: Angel has decided she loves me and does NOT like men. (BIG SIGH)! It will take a special gal who wants protected to adopt her.
When a sobbing Mother calls saying her 21 year old son hung himself could we please take his dog, how could we say no? What this Mother is going through nobody should have to experience. Delilah, we are calling Lila, just turned one year old a few days ago October 12th, the day her guardian hung himself. How sad. Lila is a very scared little girl. One of her young family members thought it was a cute trick to teach her to growl so this she used to do frequently. She gets along great with cats. We are working with Lila to get her housebroken. Lila has not had a single accident in her kennel. Poor Lila is so scared. Can you help her and give her the home she deserves? If so, please fill out our automatic adoption application found on our home page.

Ducky is a handsome boy!!
Ducky shakes hands!
Ducky sits up!
UPDATE: Ducky's sponsor passed away so he's looking for another sponsor. Can you help him? Ducky is showing his age and developing huge lumps. He is here permanently as our sanctuary pet and no longer available for adoption. He is our gentle giant. He came in quacking like a duck with terrible kennel cough from being turned in to a kill facility. Ducky had a dental and the lump on his lip and eye lid examined. They appear to be non-cancerous. He has some hip problems which he is receiving medication for.
Meet Sheba. Sheba is a young girl of only about two years old. She is one of the very few "kids" who was adopted and returned. Sheba was SO happy to have a loving home that she wanted to protect them more than they wanted protected. She growled at their dog and at some other dogs on a camping trip after she had became very attached. Her adoptors think she needs to be in a one dog home. We have her running and playing with 11 other dogs here and she is doing great. Sheba will need new people who are the pack leaders and have followed the work and training of Cesar Millan (dog whisperer). This is going to be a requirement of her new people. Sheba is a beautiful girl who only needs a home with people who understand what she has been through and are leaders. Are you a leader?
Another call for help resulted in Buffy coming to our shelter. (sigh) She was impounded as a stray and adopted out by another facility. Buffy was returned to them for being too loving! She only wanted to protect the children and adults in the home. Her new family did not want to work with her. Due to these issues, Pet Pals was called to help with her rescue. When some animal facilities call for our help, we know the dogs are very special. Buffy's teeth are VERY white so we're guessing she is not the three year old as on her paperwork. Our guess is she is only one year old. So far we have seen a little protectiveness but not anything major. Buffy gets along with other dogs here wonderfully. She is learning to play. She minds well and knows come, sit and does well on a leash. She does prefer women to men!
Update: Bear's ear has healed and he is doing great. Previously: Another medical problem.....Your donations are saving lives, thank you. This is poor Bear. He is a purebred Australian Shepherd who was taken in by Pet Pals Saturday evening (3/18/06) after our spay/neuter clinic. What we know is he was adopted by the vet tech at the Cheyenne Animal Center. Bear was crying when he was left alone which resulted in landlord problems. Bear is housebroken but soils in the house when he is left alone and not crated. Originally a pound pooch, Bear's sweetness saved him from the needle and a BIG thanks to Andrea! He was an owner turn in because of a stupid reason, moving. Bear had ear surgery a couple weeks ago and has had ear problems for months. Andrea has spent lots of money in vet fees. We will be having blood tests done to check for a number of things including allergies and thyroid problems. His teeth were cleaned so he may be as old as eight years. Bear is VERY smart. He leads you to the door when he wants to go outside potty. He loves to eat ice cubes or snow! He sits, shakes hands and lays down. He is very food motivated! He gets along GREAT with the other dogs, cats and kittens but does not care for children as he prefers a quiet home. Update: Bear had ear surgery March 28th. He has a bad infection and is on medication. Blood tests were done and we will post results as they become available.
Meet Cajun Gumbo from Louisiana! Gumbo is a Katrina survivor. He was one of the first dogs to get out of the state after the hurricane. When Gumbo was rescued he had a wound on his right side by his flank, a puncture wound on his right shoulder blade, a puncture wound inside his right hock, he was heart worm positive and he was very very skinny. Poor boy Gumbo is now healed and almost ready for adoption. Pet Pals is working on some behavior problems. Good grief, is it any wonder after what he has been thru? Gumbo has been thru something in his short 2-3 year life that I hope I never have to experience. This playful boy's face lights up when he makes eye contact. If you startle him and grab his collar real fast, he will snap at you out of fear. It may take a long time for his nerves to settle down. He seems to attach himself to you very fast and wants to please. Gumbo is VERY fearful of water......DUH, no explanation needed. Gumbo LOVES to play ball and enjoyed playing with an 8 year old little girl visiting us. I wouldn't recommend real small children that may startle him. It is unknown how he does around cats or other dogs. He appears to be housebroken. Information will be posted when we know him better. He was JUST delivered to us Nov. 3rd by The Cheyenne Animal Care Center. They go out of their way to save pets, even those with behavior problems. The gals delivering Gumbo even donated money for his care until he finds a home. THANK YOU very much. What a GREAT group of people. Please consider Gumbo as your next family member and you will have a piece of history for years to come. UPDATE: Gumbo gets along GREAT with other dogs. He was in a foster home doing very well until they moved and he was returned.
Hudson is a ACA purebred Canardly. You may click his pictures to read about the Canardly breed. Hudson pictured above HAS BEEN ADOPTED……HURRAH!!
There are currently no courtesy posts! The following is for uneducated people who don't have their pets spayed or neutered. Their pet's chances of developing cancer go up ten fold.
UPDATE: Lady's Story: "I Was Loved" My person let me have litter after litter of puppies I Was Loved At nine years old, I was bred but it didn't "take" When I didn't feel well, I was given Motrin I became very sick Motrin kills pets I Was Loved At nine 1/2 years old I was abandoned Some nice ladies took me in I Was Loved At a vet's office I went to sleep A big lump was going to be removed from my mouth I was going to be spayed I Was Loved My ovaries were very very large My uterus was attached to things it wasn't supposed to Lumps were found on my internal organs A mass was pushing against my kidneys Had I been spayed years ago this would not have happened My rescuers cry Because I Was Truly Loved Rest in Peace Sweet Lady April 6, 2006 tears flowing We deal with the heartache. You can help thru donations.
What will it take to get people to SPAY/NEUTER their pets? Cancer and other health problems are more prevalent in unaltered pets.
ADOPTED........HURRAH!!! Click her picture to view other sad abuse cases. This is Deena. She was just brought in as a dirty starved little girl. While removing mud on Deena, I found a bullet hole. Someone shot this puppy and left her for dead. Deena is VERY shy and has yet to make a peep. Appears to be a border collie and only 8-10 weeks old. UPDATE: See her NOW. Her new family says she is VERY much loved and has been just a perfect dog.
Bye, Ya all come back!
