We are happy to report that Sasha made the transition to her new home at the St. Francis Animal Sanctuary without any problems. She settled in well and has adjusted to the routine at the sanctuary very quickly. Each day Sasha is taken out for playtime and walks and has been introduced to other dogs at the sanctuary under supervision. While Sasha is not yet 100% comfortable with male staff members, she is gaining trust and confidence each day. In addition, Sasha will soon be evaluated by a referred veterinary clinic to determine if her urinary issues can be resolved.

We have some wonderful news to share about Sasha. She was recently transferred to St. Francis Animal Sanctuary in Mississippi where she will be cared for and loved for the rest of her life. As a long-term resident of the Animal League Sasha received plenty of love and attention from the staff, but she did experience some stress as a result of being in a shelter environment. Fortunately, friends at the St. Francis Animal Sanctuary were able to bring Sasha to their facility. With a dog barn and acres upon acres of outdoor dog runs to enjoy, Sasha will have a wonderful, fulfilling life where she can receive care for her medical conditions and enjoy the great outdoors.

 A Pet Sponsor Is Love – A friend from afar who always makes sure, month after month, that we don’t want for anything more.

 A Pet Sponsor Is Love – Often our last hope; when others look away, they step forward – with love, with support, from within.

 A Pet Sponsor Is Love – Giving us the much needed and well-deserved second chance at a happy and solid quality of life; at peace for the first time, in a long time.

 A Pet Sponsor Is Love – A love that is unselfish and understanding, given straight from their hearts, to ours.  And their love should not and will not be forgotten.

Our precious Penny is indulging in some rest and relaxation in her home. Her family finds that Penny likes to spend her days stretched out as long as possible in a nice cool place. Some of her favorite spots are the tile kitchen floor, a window sill where the breeze blows, or the bathtub. Over the past month Penny’s really found her niche amongst all the cats in her home and has a different relationship with each. She is quite fond of Uno, who is almost completely blind, and when he walks right into her due to his loss of sight she refrains from swatting him and they sniff noses. It is quite an adorable sight.

Penny’s family has been working hard to help her shed a few of the extra pounds she’s been carrying around. She doesn’t have a sagging belly just yet, but she does have a little extra weight all over. To keep her at a healthy weight her family has her on a wet food diet for her renal failure and will continue to monitor her feeding. However, just from brushing her alone she seems to have lost a few pounds in hair! Penny’s family is happy to report that she has become more social with them around the house and now loves to sit on her adoptive mother’s lap whenever she is at the computer. She even clings to her adoptive mother by wrapping her paws around her waist when she tries to get up from the chair! It’s quite the sight to behold Penny trying to make her owner stay put.

Posted by Victoria’s new foster mother:

When I first met Victoria in May of this year, her eyes were badly crusted over because of an untreated condition called “dry eye,” she had infected and decaying teeth, a severe case of dermatitis and ear infections.  She also developed pneumonia and had to be hospitalized for 10 days.  Through all of this, she continued to wag her tail when she saw me coming to visit.

Once her health had improved a bit, I took her home.  I am happy to say that she fit right in with my family and other small dog.  You could tell that she had nursed many, many puppies by her enlarged nipples.  She is now spayed and doesn’t have to worry about taking care of any more puppies.  Now it’s time for us to take care of her and we do it gladly  with much love and attention.  We just hope that her Grade 3 heart murmur and the mitral valve disease allow her to do all that she wants to (that she was never able to before since she came from a puppy mill).  So far she is active and enjoying herself.

Now that she knows what a “walk” is, she gets very excited.  Her “Cavalier” King Charles spaniel instincts are very strong—she’s ready to chase any small creature that moves.  If she hears some birds chirping, she cocks her head to listen and then she must find them.  She also enjoys just relaxing on the couch and cuddling with my son.
