Sweet Loving Italian Greyhound Mix Needs Gentle, Nurturing Foster Or Forever Home

  Jorgia's story:

Meet Jorgia,a sweet,loving 3 yr old female Italian Greyhound mix rescued as a stray from Broward Animal Care. Jorgia has clearly not always or ever had a loving,safe home and life hasn't had many positive experiences for her. But still,she remains loving,although she needs a special,kind person to show her people can be trusted.
 She was rescued because I could not bear to see her hiding in the back of her cage, terrified of all the scary sights,sounds and smells in the shelter.But when taken out for a walk,she walked on a leash like a perfect lady,occasionally flattening down from insecurity and fear. When asked to "come" she will come over and sit quietly next to you,so happy to be safe for once.She loves belly rubs and napping on dog beds.
 My home has 3 cats and 2 willful pugs who aren't very good role models for her on how to behave. They all love each other and form a nice pack, but they chase the cats as a pack,making it unsafe for the cats who have always lived here.  It breaks my heart, but, I am looking for a home or foster home for her, without cats,to nurture Jorgia to the loving and happy dog she so much wants to be.

 Jorgia is sweet,lovable and gentle. She absolutely melts when you look at her lovingly.She is spayed ,has all vaccines,deworming, and microchipped and got full medical clearance from my vet .She likes to sleep in a crate at night with her blankie ,is totally house-broken,even for a 8 hr work day, loves Nylabones,takes pills and treats like a baby from your hand,LOVES other dogs,not toy or food aggressive,knows some basic commands and is very responsive to gentle commands,requests.
Jorgia is insecure and distrustful of strangers coming in to the house. She needs a home with a dedicated ,patient person that will show her it's fun to meet new people,they aren't all bad and the world can be a wonderful place. She needs a home that's not loud and chaotic and does not have children under approx 13

If you're interested in adopting or fostering Jorgia, please email me for contact information. Thanks

URGENT; Dog Left Tied To FLPD Office Door With A Note Now At Animal Control

I received this email this A.M.; if anyone is interested in this dog, everything you need to know to go get her is right here...

Subject: beautiful dog left at our office for adoption 
Date: Thursday, October 28, 2010, 4:57 PM

This morning someone left a dog tied to our front office door (FLPD) with a note “Hello, my name is Lady.  I need a new home.  Please help me, please”. 

She was perfectly clean. I think they bathed her just before dropping her off.  She is well taken care of, fed, clean, etc.

 She has a great disposition, very affectionate and spunky, but behaved. 

 She is beautiful, a red med length coat; cutest little face; about 40 lbs. 

 She took to everyone immediately and wanted to lean against your leg or love and give kisses.  She went to the door when she needed to go do her business, then came right back in.  She laid down by my desk and was well behaved.   

Well, Broward County Animal Care & Adoption picked her up.  They think she is about 5-6 years old and appears in good health. 

 Here is the process there.  They will keep her alive for three days, Fri/Sat/Sun, a waiting period for the owner to respond.  If she is not picked up, then on Monday they will determine if they kill her or allow her to be put up for adoption. 

 If anyone is interested, they need to go there by Sunday and see her.  For adoption, you will put a non-refundable $20 deposit down and this guarantees she will live and you will be contacted on Monday to adopt her.  They will give you the rest of the info, as I think she will go through a vet check, etc for a couple of days before she is actually ready to go home. 

 Here is the info where she is at:

  Broward County Animal Care and Adoption Center- south

1870 SW 39 St

Ft. Laud 33315  

954-359-1313 

Her name is “LADY” and her registration # is “A1406040”.

She was brought in on 10/28/2010 from 533 NE 13 Street, Ft. Laud .

The hours for visiting are Thurs/Fri 1p-6p  and Sat/Sun 11am-4pm

 Thanks and please let me know if someone adopts her.    

Please pass this on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Soldier Deploying Thursday & Hasn't Been Able To Find Anyone To Take Her 2 Female Dogs Please Ask Everyone You Know If They Are Able To Help Place These Dogs Immediately

EMAIL FROM SOLDIER/ PLEASE CROSS POST OR EMAIL MY BLOG FOR CONTACT INFO;

My name is Sarah. I'm in the military and I will be leaving for deployment in 2 weeks (5 August 2010). I have been unsuccessful thus far in finding a home for my 2yr old  German Shepherd Greyhound Mix (68 lb)and my 2yr old  American Bulldog Mix (40 lb ). Both of my a girls are spayed and are UTD on all of their shots. They are both on monthly Sentinel and Frontline treatments to protect them from heart worms and fleas. They are house trained and extremely sweet tempered although Tiger needs to be introduced to new people slowly because she is skittish. Both dogs are socialized and play well with other dogs. Both dogs have experience with children and do very well around them. Coco, the American Bulldog Mix, loves to be pet and will cuddle with you for as long as you will let her. She also loves to run. She is trained to run upward of 3 miles a few times a week. Tiger loves to play chase and fetch. She adores her treats and is extremely smart. She has a great many trick in her repertoire.

Please help me. I am desperate.

Two Female MinPin Puppies Need A Foster Home In Broward County Or Nearby

These puppies can be rescued if someone is available to foster them. They can be fostered separately. The rescue group will arrange to have them spayed, chipped & given any shots that they might need and they will find them permanent homes at one of their adoption events. Everything that you need will be provided; crates, food, Heartguard, Frontline, etc. If you are interested please email me or leave a comment requesting contact information. The puppies live with their owner who doesn't want to care for them anymore since they work 12 hour days and the puppies are left in the crate for those hours. The owner is in a hurry to get rid of these dogs now that they've made the decision to give them up so the situation is urgent.  It will be great if someone can make this short term commitment and keep these dogs from ending up at a pound. Thanks and please mention these dogs to  everyone you know someone might be able to care for them for a few weeks...

Female Dog Leads Chained Friend To Freedom & Now They Need To Be Rescued From PB Animal Control

A sponsor has offered to pay the  medical care costs for these two dogs if someone rescues them & they will donate food while they are fostered. The dogs need to be removed from the shelter right away before they're euthanized. This picture is posted with the article on WBF.com here;

Female Dog Leads Chained Friend To Freedom

WEST PALM BEACH Fla. --

They're calling it "the incredible journey."

Dianne Sauve at Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control was all smiles as she led two tail-wagging dogs out of their enclosures.

"We're calling them Brains and Brawn, because she, Brains, led Brawn to freedom," said Sauve.

The two dogs are recovering at the shelter on Belvedere Road.

Officials there said two men Tuesday saw the emaciated 30 pound male pit bull dragging a 20-pound chain, which was wrapped around his neck, staggering through downtown traffic on Banyan Boulevard.

The dog was barely able to lift his head or walk, but the witnesses said the female pit bull was leading the chained male, stopping to urge him along when he stumbled under the weight.

"The female appeared to be leading this poor other dog who apparently is a friend of hers -- you can tell they're friends -- leading him away from wherever they came from," said Sauve.

The two men stopped and picked up the dogs, bringing them to Animal Care and Control.

Sauve said they would like to know who chained the dog so cruelly, and how he was able to rip free. But she said, sadly, it is not unusual for some pit bull owners to chain their dogs, thinking it makes them more muscular.

The male dog tested positive for heartworms and is being treated.

Sauve said she hopes someone will adopt them, rather than having to have the dogs euthanized.
