Here's some inspirational tales of our 'Special Needs' Pets:


Walter- He came to us as Wolfie. He spent his life with an elderly lady who did the best she could, but never treated him like a dog. Instead Wolfie had a closet of clothes, but was never neutered, had his teeth cleaned, and both knees pop out of socket when he walks (luxating patellas). He never went outdoors and was afraid of grass. The elderly woman was terminally ill so she gave Wolfie away to another woman who had him only 10 days before surrendering him to us. But Wolfie's medical condition was not his only issue. He can bite and bit both new owners quite a bit if he did not want to do something. He even was put on a diet of mashed potatoes and chocolate, the only two items he would eat. Needless to say, what a mess we have on our hands. The first thing we did was toss the clothes, and start treating him like a dog. He also went back to dog food, even though he went on a hunger strike for 36 hours. And finally, he goes outside now. Wolfie's new name is Walter, named after Walter Matthau, as he was a grumpy little man. But he really isn't, he is quite sweet. No biting, only licking is what we have seen. Walter just wanted to be treated like a dog, that's all. Walter is a beautiful, 6 year old, purebred Silky Terrier, that needs a loving forever home. He needs two more surgeries and we need donations to raise money for them. His first surgery has already been completed, he was neutered and had his teeth cleaned. Bow Wow Boutique donated a well needed bath and grooming as he had a yeast infection on his skin as well. Now he needs two knee surgeries and they will cost around $1800 total. Please help Walter find the money to help finish his rehabilitation. He is also looking for a foster home, and a forever home once he is completely rehabilitated. Walter, all 6 pounds of him, is starting life over, let's make sure the remainder of his life is a good one!
