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.  Amris and her family of 3 other dogs were first spotted on our trail camera in June 2023 starving and looking for food.  Amris was the second to get trapped in our live trap.  I had to carry her from the live trap all the way to a kennel for the rest of the night, but now she walks good on a leash.  She does have a hunting instinct to go after night time wildlife, and has wanted to go after a feral cat we have.  She did climb over our 4 foot fence about 3 times, but is now staying inside the fence.  She's not very active now, lays around a lot, and rolls over frequently to receive belly rubs as I walk by.  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 was heartworm positive, is on prevention, and had heartworm treatment on 10/26/23 and 10/27/23.  She was estimated to be 6 years old on 8/8/23 weighing 63.6 pounds, and she was spayed on 9/24/23 weighing 68 pounds.

On 11/15/23, she had an x-ray done that shows her back left leg has an ACL tear.  She was given Carprofen for several days.  The ACL surgery would cost around $6,000, so the veterinarian said she could have Rimadyl when needed, and try not to be too active, which she is not.  She loves to be pet, and would make a great companion for someone who is not too active.

$70 adoption fee.

Adoption application

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.
