My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Please contact Tonya Griffith (TMSGriffith@aol.com) for more information about this pet.

Posted on 10/13/23. and the pictures were taken on 10/13/23. Kolani and her family of 3 other dogs were first spotted on our trail camera in June 2023 starving and looking for food. Kolani is very smart, and would not go in the live trap after seeing the first two get trapped. We had to build a very large Missy Trap, and she was the third to be trapped on 8/19/23 following a trail of chicken. She is shy at first, happy, and follows me around. She is neither a digger or a climber, so a 4 foot fence is good for her. We don't know if she is house trained, but she is crate trained. She does not have a micro-chip, and no owner was found. She is heartworm negative, and on prevention. She was estimated to be 1.5 years old on 8/21/23 weighing 44.8 pounds, and she was spayed on 9/24/23 weighing 46 pounds.

Her back right leg was injured sometime before we trapped her, and she had to have an FHO surgery on 10/17/23. She was hopping on her back legs. She has healed from the surgery, and runs like nothing happened to her, but she is still working on building the leg muscles back up. She still holds her leg up, but is walking more on it.

$70 adoption fee.

Go meet their pets

It depends on who has the pet. We don't advertise our address to keep people from dumping animals on our road anymore than they usually do, especially since this is also where we live. I like to visit with a person on the phone first before letting them come meet the pet.

More about this rescue

This is a small animal rescue for cats and dogs. I have several foster homes in various areas, and I also do courtesy postings for people who need help finding a home for their pet, which is about 80% successful. The pet doesn't have to enter a rescue or shelter and the owner is contacted, so they decide who their pet goes to. If a person can't send me pictures, and they don't live too far away, I will go and videotape the pet myself to place pictures on the internet, or have a volunteer get the pictures. There have been a few pets that haven't been able to find a home through this service, but it depends on what the pet is and who is looking on the internet. When we have space available we take transfers from a local kill animal shelter. We also step in and help people who find themselves with multiple animals and no way to pay to get them fixed. Usually I will get all the females fixed to get their circumstances under control, and in some cases I will also help with donated food when I have extra. If they want to find homes for some of the many pets they have accumulated, then I will place their pictures on the internet for them. We don't euthanize unless a pet is seriously ill.
