ADOPTED ON 04-22-17 - - A call to a rescue is the first decision that once made if we respond or not, changes the course for a dog and the rescue. The hearts of a rescuer responds praying and hoping that they can meet the medical demands of the dog. Our southern partner received a call that there four black puppies were dumped on a dirt road in a very remote location not too far from where she lives. She went to see if I could find them and sure enough ...they were still in the same ditch as reported....waiting and hoping that someone would change their mind and return for them or maybe some other kind person would see them and stop for them.

These sweet babies were so hungry that they were eating on a carcass of a dead animal to try to ease their hunger pains, they all had mange and were skinny but with bloated pot bellies from the worms in their tummies. Their siblings, all female, are named, Chanel, Magic & Sazzy and are all still available. I waited and after a while they cautiously ventured out to me and decided they were ready to trust me...anything had to be better than the situation they were in. I brought them home and wormed them first, then started their vaccinations and the treatment for the mange. They are all in perfect health now and each of them have the most beautiful!

Char’ coat is soft shiny hair. She is a happy and healthy dogs and seems to be very grateful and are very friendly and loving. She is a beautiful girl, very smart and eager to learn. She watches every move you make and she picks up on your routine very easily. She has a little longer hair than the others and is just a tad bit larger too. She needs a normal amount of routine exercise that all puppies need and require to be healthy and happy. She knows she has been rescued and appreciates almost thanks us every day. She is great with all other dogs, does fine with kids and adults...loves anyone who loves her back

Char is still very young and will need more one on one work individually on house training, however, we have discovered that dogs that are outside are very easy to train because that is where they go. She is fine in a care, naturally, she is crated for safety reasons and tolerates the crate. She has no fears and is doing as good as a puppy can do in her leash training.

Char will do well in a nice big backyard, preferably fenced, however, it an active family and many other lifestyles that meet the exercise need twice a day are always considered. We also work with our adopters on alternative solutions. As the dog grows, the exercise needs diminish. We are looking for a family who adores dogs, and gives them plenty of love and attention. Char would be a great companion if your family had another dog or two – she is presently living with about 30 dogs of all personalities, ages and breeds.

We owe it to the dogs we rescue and all the wonderful families/adopters who might consider welcoming our charges into their hearts and home. Our dogs are waiting for that ideal forever home where they will be cherished as deserving family members. It's sad these second chances are even necessary for these dogs, but we are committed to them and will devote the time and energy to their rehoming, and not just MOVE them to save more dogs. We diligently and responsibly seek good matches as we don't want to re-home the dog again. These animals have already endured more than they should have, and through no fault of their own. It behooves us to be honest and forthright, and we appreciate the same in return from applicants. It's that winning combination of reciprocal trust and respect that allows for successful placements to be made. Happy adopters translate to happy dogs, and that's our goal!

Thank you for respecting that we all donate our time to saving these animals, and understand we value your philanthropic and compassionate desire to help be part of the rescue team. That said, you'll understand why we are committed to the well-being of our charges and consider this veterinarian check mandatory. If you are a first-time dog owner, we will work with you every step of the way! ADVOCACY AND EDUCATION ARE AS MUCH A PART OF RESPONSIBLE RESCUE AS ADOPTION! And it takes a RESCUE VILLAGE to help the most dogs possible in a thorough manner to ensure success on all fronts, and then some! It is an awful feeling to fail a dog, and we can't continue rescue if we don't do everything we can to ensure good matches for the dogs and tender families who might adopt them. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING.

Although we are an extremely small rescue group, we understand and respect your family's eagerness to be in touch and learn as much as you can about the dogs you are considering adopting.
