Story
After spending a portion of my life living outdoors with much of it on my own, I am now realizingthat having been rescued by humans was not such a bad thing. Even though I do not have asmuch freedom as I did, I do have a roof over my head and food in my stomach. I did not know how to interact with cats and other dogs at first. Having learned that they do notseem to present any eminent danger, I do not mind their presence but have not quite figured outhow to interact with them. Sometimes they, as well as humans, move a little too quickly for mycomfort. For now, I may need a home without small children or a lot of high-energy activity.I truly believe that I have made a lot of progress in learning how to live within my new world butalso realize that there is still room for improvement. In an environment of patience andcontinued love and encouragement, I hope that in time I will become much more comfortableaccepting love and care from humans.I know that I will need some training in simple commands but I am really quite smart and havealready figured out daily routines like how to make it known when I need to go out to potty(house broken). I walk well on a leash and LOVE my daily jaunts. Even though I do not challenge confinement such asfences (no digging or jumping) and crates (actually I rather like the security of a crate at times), Ifind that I do sometimes yearn for the freedom of the great outdoors.If after learning all of this about me (and it's a lot!), you feel that you would be willing to openyour heart and your home to include me in your family I would love to continue my life journeylearning how to be a well-adjusted loving presence in your life.Hope to hear from you soon!Vixen is four years old and weighs 42 pounds.Location: Foster homeThe adoption fee for adult dogs, seven months and older, is $250. All pets are microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and will be altered prior to adoption. If you are interested in meeting Vixen, please call the shelter to make an appointment or complete an adoption application on our website. If you have an existing dog at home, we recommend bringing it to meeting Vixen.helpingstrays.org

Birdie is a sweet name for this sweet and spicy girl! She is a pointer mix and definitely has the drive of a pointer, in a smaller body :) I found myself recently, wandering around in S Texas looking for a loving family to save me! Luckily I found just the right foster family! Now, I TRY not to chase the chickens on their mini farm...however, haven't you heard?? Chicken is the first white meat and I just like it! SoOOOOO, needless to say, Birdie is not good with prey type animals in the house- cats, chickens, cute birds, lizards, etc etc.... Birdie does have some AMAZING qualities as well.... I LOVE KIDS!!! (there I said it), I would be and ideal family dog. I love other playful dogs as well so that is no problem to meld into a famil with their other dog. I am a "petite flower" about 40# of total love who is waiting for you to step up and save my life!! APPLY NOW!! ADOPT...DON'T SHOP!! Our dogs lives' depend on it!! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400, includes transport to you area, $50 temporary fuel fee will be included Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area, $50 temporary fuel fee will be included)

Story
Click here for Cody's Facebook Album Cody is a Pointer (possibly mixed with a little Brittany a few generations ago) and he was in an over-crowded Southern Illinois shelter. I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing Cody and I am so glad we got him into our program. Whatever his life was, whoever starved him, Cody is the just the epitome of everything we LOVE in our Pointer rescues. He is so friendly, happy and outgoing. If you will allow him- he will give you a Pointer hug, and one of my favorite things about this breed is that affectionate gesture. He needs to shed out some of the discolored hair on his fur, but otherwise he looks in good shape. There is a chunk of his ear missing and a little calcification on his front paw- but it doesn't seem to bother him.ern Illinois shelter. Cody is adjusting well to his new foster home. He loves everybody and is wiggly as can be. He is also super affectionate. His foster mom is spoiling him rotten and in proper Pointer fashion, he has already made himself comfy on the couch. He is also working on cage and house training. Cody is 3-4 years old and probably weighs 45- 50lbs. We are looking for a Foster to Adopt home in the Chicago area since he will still need to be neutering in a few weeks. Potential new families will absolutely need to have a safe fenced in yard (no invisible fences). Please give Lisa a call at 630-694-1359 if you are interested in Foster to Adopt.

Story
When I was born, I assure you I didn't want to grow up to be left in a high kill shelter, however, that is what happened to me. LUCKILY, the fates (and some awesome rescue folks) aligned and saved me from certain death and brought me to a safe place where I can find a REAL family and a REAL home. Let me tell you about myself, I am cute, happy, loving, nervous at times, but have the long legs of a pointer! I have lots of energy for running, jumping and playing and I have the handsome chiseled jaw that most actors would love to have! Now if you need a great looking chap, look my way!!! ADOPT...........DON'T SHOP!!! My LIFE depends on it!!! LOcal adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area)
