Lydia had her puppies!!! Visit them on our puppy page.
Lydia was just brought to Pet Pals January 15, 2010. It was thought that she was nursing older puppies, but one look and .... Oh my, she is full of milk and going to have puppies within a few days.....Yikes!
Lydia was a stray and relinquished by a town that cares for their strays. Lydia will NOT leave here until she is finished nursing her puppies and is spayed.
Lydia needs a sponsor to help with expenses or if you would like to adopt Lydia, please fill out an application and be patient! She is one of the sweetest dogs we have ever known. Lydia sticks to you like Velcro because she is thankful to finally have people who care about her. As you can see in one of the pictures, she is not even knee high.
UPDATE: 3/2/2010
Lydia has an approved application…..HURRAH!!
"Okay, I will admit it, I was baaad... Bad to the Bone. My name is Humphrey and I was picked on by my sister so I started beating her up. Well, she called me names, stole my toys and was just a B, if you know what I mean.
I'm only three years old and found myself at a kill facility. Lucky for me, I ended up at Pet Pals and I am learning social skills. I have enjoyed walking with other dogs and I'm learning that the world is not out to take my toys!
If you have patience with me, I promise to be a good boy. I already do what's asked of me and will climb into a bath tub! For some reason, I have learned to trust children more than adults, but if you baby talk to me, I will love you too. I have slight skin allergies which aren't a huge problem.
With a little love, I promise to be a good family member and will protect you, but I'm just so scared of this scary world.
Hugs & Slobbers,
Humphrey"
UPDATE:
Humphrey broke through a gate…in fact two gates and we found him playing with a small Pug! We moved the Pug and Humphrey broke through a gate and was playing with two other large dogs. He now plays with another large dog. Hum, perhaps he does get along with other dogs.
"Hi, I'm King Kong! Not sure why I'm homeless. My family talked about moving but I thought they would include me.
I'm seven years old and a very good boy. Someone said I was a purebred Akita so I guess that's what I am! I have worked really hard being a good boy. I love to shake hands and do a number of tricks. Obedience classes were a breeze.
If you don't mind me wanting to protect you from bad people, please let me be your new family member.
Thank you,
Kong
Ps. Your donations have saved my life. I'm very grateful, hugs!"
LOOK, LOOK, LOOK at this BEAUTIFUL boy! His name is Clipper like a Clipper ship! "Beginning in the late 1840's American shipbuilders started to build a new kind of merchant vessel - the Clipper ship. Several qualities set the clipper ship apart from others sailing ships. A clipper was technically a sailing ship with three masts on which sat a large expanse of square sails. It was designed to carry a small, highly profitable cargo over long distances at high speeds."
Our Clipper is a purebred Great Dane who can also cover long distances on walks! He LOVES walks. He is about four years old and was relinquished because his family broke up and moved. His temporary home couldn't keep him because of his high prey drive towards chickens! He also wanted to protect his family from the bad evils of the world.
Clipper is an awesome big boy to have on your side of the fence! He will require a secure or electrified fence.
This is 100 pound Eagle. He is a Native American Village Dog from Virginia. Please research the breed as they are not for everyone.
This beautiful boy lost his family when the landlord said no pets. Eagle loves to go for walks and gets along great with the other large dogs. He will need lots of patience to reassure his fears.
Beautiful 110 pound Kujo is a six year old Chesapeake Bay Retriever/Labrador Retriever mix. His family was moving into town and gave him up. Kujo was kept in an outside kennel which resulted in rainrott on his back. I wasn't joking when I said we've had LOTS of thunder storms rolling through every afternoon!
Kujo was scared and wanted to eat us and spit us out when he first came to our facility. Most facilities would have killed him without letting him out of the crate. After neutering, being socialized for a month, he is a LOVE. I still wouldn't advise anyone to walk into our yard if we aren't present! When you don't hear from us via E-mail, we are busy working with furry kids like Kujo.
Kujo gets along GREAT with other dogs and cats. Come and get to know him and you'll fall in love with him also!
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 now weighs 150 pounds!
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.
Click the above image to read about Acey's rescue. It is so amazing it deserves a web page all its own!
Acey is a LOVE. How people can shoot to end lives is beyond us.
Meet Sheba. Sheba is a young girl of only about four 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 skinny, poor boy. Gumbo is now healed and a LOVE!
This playful boy's face lights up when he makes eye contact. 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. He is housebroken and gets along great with other dogs.
Please consider Gumbo as your next family member.
Hudson is a ACA purebred Canardly. You may click his pictures to read about the Canardly breed. Hudson pictured above HAS BEEN ADOPTED……HURRAH!!
The following furkids are a courtesy post. We try to help other people place their rescued pets in loving homes. Pets MUST be spayed or neutered prior to posting. Please contact the appropriate person not Pet Pals, Inc.
Please visit Petfinder.com and put in zip code 82217 to see our current courtesy posts, THANK YOU.
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.

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.
What did this pup do so horrible to be shot in the head? What did ANY of them do....We have now had FOUR dogs with bullet wounds.
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.
We can not save lives without your donations.
