My story

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

Pet Search received a frantic message about a sweet girl abandoned in the mountains of Virginia... when we saw the photos, we just knew we had to help her!"This sweetheart of a girl was left in an outside pen on the top of a mountain (no water, food, or shelter) when her family moved & left her to die there!!!! They took the other dog. Thank God for the neighbors who made sure she was fed/watered. She's a short stack of love.
Starla had a tumor the size of a grapefruit hanging from her back side-most likely from a mammary gland. She obviously had multiple litters of puppies.
Starla arrived March 30 had her surgery on April 6. The tumor was sent out for a biopsy because of the size and shape, but fortunately it was encapsulated, so it does not appear the cancer has spread. Starla is Lyme positive so she takes her dog doxycycline with no issues.
Starla is very affectionate and wants to be near her "people... it may be because she was abandoned. She seems to be dog friendly but we are still testing her doggie social skills. She is not cat reactive.

More about this rescue

Pet Search is an all-volunteer, non-euthanizing rescue and placement service that has been in Washington County since 1985. Pet Search's philosophy is that all pets deserve a second chance for a hoe and love. Pet Search has chosen not to use a shelter-type environment with kennels and cages, but perfers to "home shelter" animals with volunteers in private homes. Pet Search is a privately funded organization, relying on the generousity of fellow animal lovers.
Pet Search provides the following programs:
* Animal Rescue and Placement/ Adoptions
* Fundraising
* Homeless and Feral Cat Trapping (aluminum recycling is used to fund this program)
* Humane Education
* Pet Therapy
* Rabies Plus Clinic- Low Cost inoculations (three times a year)
* Community Service Opportunities for students
* Other Public service programs, such as the Blessing of the Animals in October
FOSTER HOMES AND VOLUNTEERS ALWAYS WELCOME!!!
