They are growing!

Lola (the mother dog) has a name now. And a lovely name it is! The children are growing fast! Almost 5 weeks old and we still need a foster home for two of them!










This event is Sunday! Come on out folks! Should be lots of fun!

More Rescues

These are some new pups that came from a local shelter. They were going to be euthanized on Tuesday. We rescued them on Monday.


This is their sweet mother. She looks larger in this picture but she is only about 27-30 lbs.


Fergie came from a couple in High Point Jamestown area. They found her wandering, lost and scared, 2 months ago. Such an animated, cute girl she is.


This pup was born in a run down area of town. Their mother is being spayed and her littermates have been rescued.


This is Scout - a cute mail kitten ready for adoption.


Jem is Scout's sister.


Another black Lab puppy that will soon be available for adoption.

3 Pups, 1 Lake

Willis, Buffy, and Eldon made a visit to Lake Norman with foster mom Rene'! What a life in foster care they have!

So much to tell....

First of all I want to update everyone on Amber and her puppies. Amber is doing wonderful! She has now been spayed and she tested negative for heartworms. We were all praying for that so that she would not be put through any more needles being poked at her.

It's been very hard for me to want to update the blog because we ended up losing three of Amber's puppies to what the veterinarian thought may be a heart defect. In all instances the puppies went downhill in less than 24 hours and died. It was heartbreaking, as you can imagine, for many of our volunteers.

The good news is that Amber and five of her pups are happy and healthy. Below are the five pups, and all have been spoken for, which is the best part!

This is Buffy:


This is Willis:


This is Suze:
