CLOVERTON THE DEAF DOG

Cloverton became my best friend from day one. I had been looking for a “disheveled shaggy dog” at the local animal shelters and found a 9 month old, Old English Sheepdog puppy named Cloverton, who was deaf. I contacted the shelter, and they made arrangements with the foster family to bring the puppy over to my residence so we could meet. It was love at first sight, and I adopted Cloverton the next day.

 

TURBO TUSKER

The almost toothless senior Jack Russell Terrier

In January 2005, I went to the local shelter and saw this elderly Jack Russell Terrier who was 13–16 years old. He wagged his tail when I walked up to him, and it was instant love! I changed his name to Turbo after we brought him home, and he seemed to blossom. During his first veterinary visit, we were told that he needed a dental because his teeth were in horrible condition. 27 teeth were removed.

 

TOGETHER WITH TREVOR FOREVER!

Trevor, a beautiful black Shepherd/black Lab mix puppy was chained 24/7 in a backyard, and one day the renters just moved and never came back for him. I rescued him when he was about 8 months old, and throughout the years Trevor has helped raise my son through his teen years and some of his twenties.When my son and his friends were here, Trevor could be found right in the middle of them, because to him, they were his pack!

 

COMPASSION: VONN - It’s a Miracle He Survived!

8–9 month old puppy—used as a bait dog—doused with lighter fluid—
set on fire...and he lived!

This past August, two Pit Bulls, a day apart, wandered onto the property of a good Samaritan outside of College Station, Texas, looking for a drink of water from her leaky water hose. There had been a record 60+ days of over 100°F scorching temperatures. The female, believed to be Vonn’s mother, had burns on about 20% of her body, a broken pelvis, and multiple bites, scratches, and wounds. The nice lady took “Esparanza” to her local vet who agreed to care for her.

AGAINST THE ODDS: SMOKEY THE PIT BULL A SURVIVOR'S STORY!

FROM ACID POURED ON HIM AS A PUP—TAKEN TO A KILL SHELTER—RESCUED BY HIS DADDY—AND NOW A HAPPY-GO-LUCKY PITTIE WHO IS SPREADING THE LOVE!

Smokey the Pit Bull was found abandoned at three months old with severe acid burns down his back in Bakersfield, California, in July 2009 and was brought to the animal shelter where he would be euthanized due to his severe injuries. When Tyler Z Nasise saw the posting about this abused little Pittie, he rescued Smokey from the high-kill shelter and brought him back home to San Diego, CA. There, the dog underwent eight months of treatment and surgeries to heal his extensive injuries. Tyler says, “Smokey has never harbored any grudges or distrust with people due to his past abuse. He’s 2½ years old now and he absolutely loves everyone, all the people and animals he meets—no matter what their size, shape, or type!”
