Click on Rosie's picture to see how she's doing with no back legs! Scroll down to attend her on-going party! Meet Chucky! In fact, do you want two-year old Chucky? You can have him! LOL His story is not much different than many others. Someone simply didn't care. He was finally confiscated by animal control and then left in a kennel for two months while the courts decided what to do. Chucky was finally released from his horrid owner and came to Pet Pals. He came in on a Friday afternoon and was at our vet's office by Monday. We noticed something was not right with him. Chucky is scary skinny and having BAD panic attacks. Blood tests showed his liver count is four times higher than normal and his white count was up which means an infection. Chucky was put on antibiotics and Denamarin for his liver. After 10 days with no improvement Chucky went back to the veterinarian. He spent the night and more tests were done. The results are that nothing is wrong, thank GOD. This means his anxiety is in his head! So far Chucky has cost Pet Pals over $700… ouch! We are hoping more tests in a week will tell us how his liver is healing. Oh yea, Chucky's panic attacks are NEVER ending. He screams non-stop if he even thinks someone is going to walk away. He does not find comfort with other dogs….. he screams for a person! The other dogs get along GREAT with him and his screaming. Along with his screaming, he drools and slobbers horrid slime that flies when he shakes his head. His water bucket needs emptied and cleaned every couple hours. You also might want to clean yourself from the slime! Let us know when you can pick him up!! Of course, we still love him and want him to go to a wonderful home so please fill out an application……THANK YOU!! Oh yea, and don't forget to pay the vet bill!Oh… I forgot to add Chucky has gone through THREE nice gates, almost went through two windows and has torn up a nice wire crate injuring his face. We're telling you…. He REALLY wants to be with you at any cost! How could we not help Chucky? Can YOU help him with even a $10 donation? He promises to cover his mouth to slow the slime! He even laughs if you believe that! UPDATE: Chucky REALLY wants to be with me….awww! Here are pictures. He is climbing up to look in a window!

All the way from California!! NO, Pet Pals did not bring this dog from another state when so many are being killed locally. One of our supporters fell in love with two five year old dogs while he was in California visiting a shelter. Nike and Milly got along great for four or five months and then decided they wanted to be an only dog and a fight ensued. If someone has experience being a pack leader and has a larger mellow dog, they could be placed with one of their own kind, but would prefer to be an only furkid. Both Nike and Milly have a high prey drive so no kitties or small dogs. Nike and Milly would make an excellent running partner! Both are very smart and would enjoy obedience classes. Please fill out an application.

UPDATE: Roxy is doing GREAT with other dogs and is now ready for her new home! Meet Roxy! Roxy is a Great Pyrenees who is about 7 years old. Roxy's owners have passed away. Roxy has not been socialized with other large dogs and she is terrified. We are working on her social skills. She was with a small dog. Roxy is not fond of cats, but she loves women! She would make an AWESOME guard dog for a woman…..Well, maybe not so much. Roxy has turned into a LOVE! New Pictures:
OH MY…. Roxy has a fly on her nose!!
UPDATE: Bear was on a medical hold. He is now doing GREAT! Previously he was recovering after collapsing, being taken to a veterinarian and being put on medications. Another homeless boy who was brought into our facility with his buddy, Jumbo. This boy's name is Bear. Since we just had to say good-bye to an old boy named Bear, we're calling this boy Bear Two! At his age (10+) and not real healthy, we don't want to upset him by changing his name. Bear Two didn't walk, he waddled! What a shame to let a dog suffer with a bad weight problem. Bear Two weighed 111.4 pounds…..WOW! After being on a diet, he is back to running like a normal dog. Bear Two LOVES laying in a swimming pool, as you can see. He gets along GREAT with other dogs, walks well on a leash and is crate trained. What more could anyone want?
UPDATE: ANOTHER over $400 bill…..The week of January 25, 2016 Jumbo was taken to our veterinarian for a dental and deep ear cleaning. Upon his return he became very very ill. Jumbo is doing better, but is on a medical hold. Jumbo's name fits this boy! He is HUGE!! Jumbo weighs 170 pounds. Once again, our hearts go out to the under dogs. Jumbo has food allergies and has to be fed grain-free food which isn't cheap. We were also told that Jumbo has chronic ear infections but after cleaning his ears and using medicated powder, we haven't had any further problems. Perhaps he wasn't fed grain-free food which was causing his ear infections. His ears have cleared up and he didn't have to be put on antibiotics. Jumbo is a LOVE and gets along with all the other dogs. We have seen no aggression in him. It is advised that he not be put with smaller dogs. He LOVES them and wants to hump them! Jumbo is not a fence climber. Being he is so large, he needs a large inside area. At Pet Pals he loves to lie on his thick quilt and medical bed. Jumbo walks very well on a leash and doesn't mark his territory. He's just a BIG LOVE. We're guessing he is 8 or 9 years old.
Oh MY…. Malone has been at Pet Pals for five years and we have seen NO improvement with his disposition. He HATES everyone except his immediate care takers. Malone in on a mental hold. His previous abusive owners should be in a mental ward at a prison! Did you know some "Rescues" kill? The above boy would most likely have been killed at any facility in the entire state. This is mean 'ol Malone! This poor boy is not so nice and that's putting it mildly! We've named him Malone because he just wants left alone! Malone was brought to Pet Pals after being picked up running along the highway as ANOTHER stray. He jumped in the man's vehicle and befriended him immediately. The man knew we were the only ones who would not kill him so he immediately brought him to Pet Pals at 5:30 in the evening..... So the story goes! Do we believe a dog that has this much aggression was handled by a stranger? Humm....NO WAY! Anyway, Malone wanted to eat us and he was one of the worse cases of aggression we have dealt with. It took over four days before we could touch him without using a catch pole. He has slowly warmed up but as of January 2015, after four years, no one besides two immediate caregivers and one volunteer has been able to touch him. From the looks of Malone's neck it is obvious he was chained. When we tried to get him to play ball, he cowered like he had been beaten. At only about a year old from the looks of his teeth what could this boy do so wrong to be so fearful? Ones like him just break our hearts. Malone is a McNab and Blue Heeler. Malone doesn't seem to know any commands. Malone brings to mind the TRUE meaning of a NO-KILL shelter or Rescue which we are, thanks to our wonderful donors, THANK YOU!
UPDATE:Rosie has now had surgery to remove both her back legs. She now has two wheel chairs! Since she has lost the use of her back end, she dribbles urine and poo nonstop so the laundry piles up daily. She seems happy and LOVES visitors. Previous UPDATE: Rosie had major hip surgery but it was decided that she didn't need further surgery at THIS time. Brought to Pet Pals as a stray, her owner was located and he was going to SHOOT her because he thought she was old due to her crippled steps. Luckily, she escaped her pen and he thought she had just gone off to die! For more updates visit Rosie's Party Page, thank you!Previously: Rosie had her hips x-rayed June 9th. I've just been numb. She is in desperate need of double hip surgery. Rosie's hips are hereditary with the femur bone rubbing on the bone of her socket. She IS in pain but it doesn't show. I spoke to two different gals at The MaxFund. They have been excellent in the past helping our special needs furkids, but this time they are also very low on funds and cannot take her. I'm at a loss at what to do. We do not have the $2,000 needed for her surgery. There are several nonprofit groups who fund this sort of special needs, but I haven't had time to contact them. Any suggestions are appreciated.Previously: Sweet as the smell of a rose is Rosie! Rosie may have been hit by a car or she may have early arthritis. She appears on the young side. Her teeth look like she's only 3-5 years old. We will be having x-rays done on her hips when we have enough funds. She is not in pain, just wobbly. If everyone reading this could just send a dollar or two, Rosie would certainly appreciate it. Poor Rosie waited for her owner to come and claim her and they never showed up. Perhaps she was just tossed out like trash which so many pets are having done to them now days. We will never know what really happened to Rosie other than some nice people in a town where she was a stray didn't want to send her to a pound that uses a gas chamber. She is very thankful for being brought to Pet Pals. We are thankful for YOUR help.
UPDATE: February 3, 2016, Humphrey is now 10 years old. Since his days are numbered, Pet Pals' boards of directors do not feel it would benefit him to be moved to a new home. Humphrey is on an old age HOLD! "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 was 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. Humphrey has now been trained a number of tricks! He has also gained much needed weight and weighs in at 150 pounds. His allergies have also gone away now that he's on decent food!UPDATE**Humphrey is with Rosie and six other doggie friends! He is now almost nine years old. Here are new pictures:
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, is now almost eight years old. Lila is still 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. Lila no longer growls, she just tucks her tail in fear. 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. UPDATE: Januarey 15, 2016 Acey was ADOPTED…HURRAH! After nine years Acey has an awesome home to call her own!
Freezy was brought to Pet Pals in the winter of 2009. Freezy was brought to us along with her two puppies all as strays. Flurry and Flicker were adopted. Freezy 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 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 UPDATE: Freezy was adopted, but was returned because she didn't get along with horses. So, no livestock, please! Freezy is also part monkey and will need a covered kennel. She is now about 2 ½ years old. Here are new pictures of her before we started going on walks and getting more exercise!
Gumbo was another STRAY. This one was due to Katrina in New Orleans! He has finally been adopted…..HURRAH!
Brought to Pet Pals as another STRAY Hudson is an ACA purebred Canardly. You may click his pictures to read about the Canardly breed. Remember you read about the Canardly breed here FIRST! Other shelters may not know how to spell Canardly, but the breed is the same and we were the FIRST to recognize it as a breed! Hudson pictured above HAS BEEN ADOPTED……HURRAH!!
UPDATE: Shady 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!
