adoptions: November 2008 Archives

I just got an email from a friend whose coworker's home is being foreclosed. She has 10 cats that need to be placed in foster home for two months or permanent homes. Two of them are senior cats ages 15 and 20. They are in good health but will be put down if she cannot find a place for them. Sorry I don't have any photos. If I do get some I'll post them here. If anyone knows someone that can at least take some of these cats, reply here or email me HERE!

because of forwarded emails and blog posts...heheh!! The day after I posted this I got an email from Connie saying that someone adopted Baxter. Don't know who adopted him but I'm so glad about that! :)

Got this email about a cute, shaggy dog at East Valley Animal Shelter! Go check it out and see if you'd like to adopt Baxter (or any other pet for that matter).

Hi folks,

Here's Mister Baxter! He's at the East Valley Animal Shelter (contact info is found below) and in need of being "sprung from the joint". This email was forwarded to me by a rescue group that saw him there and discovered that he was an absolutely delightful little guy. I have not personally met Baxter so I know nothing about him other than he is in need of a warm home, lots of TLC and a day at the spa for a shampoo and blow dry. Wouldn't he be adorable greeting your guests at the door on Thanksgiving?!

Thanks for your help in finding Baxter a forever home!

Meet Baxter, A0994507 an absolutely deliciously sweet adorable 1 yr old Terrier, Poodle, Schnauzer mix. He is a bit skinny and very matted (clearly neglected) but what ever he has been through in his young life does not seem to have effected his incredible loving personality. He loves people and other dogs (he is Maxie's kennel mate).

Here's information from the shelter:

I recently got an update on the Chihuahua that was rescued from a bad situation. Here's the original post.

Leslie Alvarez emailed me on her progress. She also told me about another dog that she rescued. First of all...here's a photos of Minnie. She looks much happier here!

Here's an update from Leslie's email:

She is doing a little better with the medication. Now that it's getting a little colder her arthritis seems to be acting up a little so I'm glad we were able to get her her medicine. I can't imagine what it would have been like for her to have to sleep outside in a box for the 11th year. I don't think she would have made it. The doctor said she has mild bronchitis. We're keeping an eye on several potential issues until I can gather some funds to get the rest of her medical needs taken care of.

Here's Lulu (what Leslie named her). If you know anyone that would like a dog like her...please let me know or email Leslie at linda_alvarezzz@yahoo.com.

Here's an excerpt from Leslie's original email about the Chihuahua and the Mini pin. Someone dropped off Lulu at the same time she rescued the two other dogs.

This story really breaks my heart:

Ok, here's the kicker...you all are not going to believe this. This afternoon, another neighbor (maybe it's some kind of conspiracy) brought a dog to my house! She said her sister's kids found the dog and they brought it home. BUT her sister does not like dogs and neither does her husband. My neighbor said that her sister's husband often kicked the dog and would throw this dog out on the street whenever the kids were done playing with it. My neighbor said that her sister had not fed the dog in about 2 weeks. The dog also had a rubber band embedded in her neck. My neighbor said she knew the dog was in bad shape and since she always sees us walking our dogs, and figured we like dogs she brought the dog to my house to see if we could help.

Anyway, this little girl needs a loving home. I hope she will find a permanent place to organize all her belongings very soon!

Remember this post from a few days ago? I guess posting stuff here really works! But that's why I love doing it. I emailed the url to some friends. They in turn forwarded it and so on and so on. While both dogs were already taken out of the bad situation they were in about two weeks ago, a splendid friendship developed because of it.

Connie J. Mackie of Dream Dogs Training Company saw the email and immediately contacted Linda wanting to help. Here is her initial email:

Hi Linda,

Here is Linda's response:

Hi Connie!

So even though the dogs' wonderful fate had nothing to do with the post, it caused two animal lovers to become friends through this thing we call the internet and email. :) As soon as I find out more about the Chihuahua's progress, you'll read it right here! Stay tuned...
