Dixie's Info...
| Breed: | Boston Terrier | Color: | Black - With White | Age: | Senior |
| Size: | Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less | Sex: | Female |
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, not good with kids, and good with dogs.
5-07-08 Dixie was born in 2000, a kennel dog. Purchased by an individual she then learned what home life was about.
She is friendly, gets along with other dogs, has been living with a 5 YO skin-child, seems to be very child friendly.
She had extensive hernia repair by her owner. Vet recommended that she wait 30 days, be returned for a spay as under anesthesia too long.
She rides nicely in the vehicle in a pet taxi.
Dixie was given up by her owner as she killed chickens belonging to the next door neighbor. To keep the neighbor happy & since the family moving was not an option, Dixie needed to find a new location.
We have placed this fur-kid in foster care with Judy V who will schedule her spay & any other vet work Doc deems needed. She may need a dental.
The foster updates on his/her likes & dislikes will help you know if this fur-kid is suitable for your home.

DIXIE IS DOING GREAT GETTING TO KNOW THE OTHER FURKIDS DOING GOOD WITH THEM .SHE IS A VERY GOOD GIRL
She is very dog friendly, no aggression, just a wee bit shy with humans.
05-12 Dixie was taken to Doc this AM for vetting.
We will post an update after she returns to the foster mom.
05-13 Dixie came through her spay just fine. She will need a bit of rest & recuperation to recover from a rough start in life.
The adoption fee ranges from $150 to $300.
The fee is based upon veterinary care, age & size of dog.
The higher adoption fee on the younger small dogs helps care for the older dogs that take longer to find fur-ever homes.
Senior citizens and disabled receive a discount.
We also offer a discount to those in uniform keeping us safe.
Our adoption process begins with the e-mail or phone call to us. Please be prepared to furnish your complete name, address, telephone number, your veterinarian contact information & at least two personal references. We will then call you to ask a series of questions.

Rescue Group Info...
We are a small, foster home based rescue, licensed by the Mo. Dept of Agriculture in June 2004. We specialize in senior dogs.
We also offer Hospice care for dying dogs as space permits.
This site is dedicated to Max, rescued by Carolyn, and Lady, rescued by Connie. Both were senior dogs that were in kill shelters and were "Naturals" when visiting the care center. Because of them, this rescue was born.
We handle no more than two large senior dogs at a time. All of the dogs are completely vetted including but not limited to altered, vaccinated, dental & microchipped before being placed for adoption.
Most, yet not all, visit care centers to become familiar with medical equipment. The goal is to get the senior pets into senior homes or non-senior homes with a low energy lifestyle.
Our goal for 2007 is to have a few small dogs, under 25 lbs., 1 to 6 years of age, in our foster homes. These small dogs will be closely observed for 2 weeks before being adopted out. This will allow us, hopefully, to notice and care for any medical problems or behavior problems that may arise. Their adoptions will help provide funds for the special needs of the large senior dogs that wait longer to find that special fur-ever home.
We are working on the Mighty Mutt Youth Program. This program will focus on small, young mixed breed dogs that are good with children. After all, how will children get experience with dogs unless they have a first pet? We need to educate the young people of today to make the future better for the dogs of tomorrow.
Mixed-breed dogs make excellent pets and lifelong friends. As a general rule, they enjoy better health and temperament than purebred animals. Unfortunately, a great number of these wonderful pets await their KILL DATE in shelters around the country. They are often not adopted because they are not a purebred dog. Thus, many are DESTROYED! The goal of the Mighty Mutt Youth Program is to change that by:
1. Locating kill shelter dogs that interact well with other animals and children
2. Rescuing these young dogs before they are killed and get them to the veterinarian
3. Uniting the right family with the right Mighty Mutt
4. Educating the young person and his/her family with guidelines for responsible pet ownership and proper preventative care for pets
We operate solely on donations. We can always use towels, sheets, baby blankets, shampoo and grooming supplies. For those of you that love to garage sale and shop in thrift stores, we could use gently used collars, leashes, bowls, any pet supplies. You may mail them to the address shown below. Your donations will be used to save the lives of pets and provide veterinary care.
In 2009 we became a 501 (c) 3. Your donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by law.
We send a monthly newsletter and will be glad to add you to our list. We will also send a year end financial statement upon request. We do not pay for advertising or salaries. We have wonderful volunteers providing foster care, assisting with care center visits with the pets, computer work and fund raisers. The young children who volunteer today to help with the pets will grow up to be animal lovers and advocates. We have an obedience instructor willing to work with you so that you may keep your dog. Word of mouth in a small town spreads like wildfire. Folks love old dogs. We truly adore ALL the volunteers!
We are in a rural area five miles from historic downtown Cole Camp. Some of the pets may be in foster homes. We do not have a kennel as all of these pets live in a home environment. We are open 7 days a week by appointment.
Cole Camp is located in Benton County. Cole Camp is southeast of Kansas City about 2 hours, northeast of Springfield about 2 hours and southwest of Columbia about 2 hours. Cole Camp is located on 52 Highway, a short drive from Truman Lake and the Truman Dam. Please check out Cole Camp at www.colecampmo.com There are many places to visit while in the area looking for a pet, and some of the businesses are downright pet friendly. The Harris Guest House is a B&B which encourages well behaved pets to spend the night.
Our goal is to find the right placement for each pet. We never want them to be hungry or unwanted again. We will answer every question to the very best of our knowledge and always be honest when it comes to the animal's suitability for a home. We want to make sure that you get the pet that will suit your special needs and that you will be able to meet the special needs of your pet.
Senior citizens and disabled receive a discount.
We also offer a discount to those in uniform keeping us safe.

May our Lord wrap His Bubble of Protection about those that serve
May He comfort those left behind waiting, worrying & grieving.
The adoption fee ranges from $150 to $300.
The fee is based upon veterinary care, age & size of dog.
In addition as noted above we do make special arrangements for Senior citizens, the disabled and our military families.
The higher adoption fee on the younger small dogs helps care for the older dogs that take longer to find fur-ever homes.
Our adoption process begins with the e-mail or phone call to us. We will be asking for your complete name, address, telephone number, your veterinarian contact information and at least two personal references. We will then call you to ask a series of questions.
We serve Cole Camp, Benton County, Missouri and surrounding areas. We do adopt out of state as long as the adopter comes to our location or to the foster home.
