irst of week of May 2016, three weeks after our beloved dog Harold d ied. He recently starred as TOTO in Penfield High School's production of The Wizard of Oz! Our Joyful Rescue is one of the best decisions our family has ever made – Cosmo has truly been a wonderful friend and member of our family. For the holiday season, we thought that the best way to truly celebrate was to sponsor a transport on my family’s name. All four of our dogs (and our cats over the years) have come from various rescue organizations, and everybody in the Gabbey family recognizes the importance of animal rescue groups, and the dedication it takes to provide love and comfort for these amazing dogs and cats. My parents have owned three schnauzers – Daffy, Darby and Daisy – and my brother’s dog, Alvy, was a part of the family until he died this past summer at the amazing age of 16! My brother’s wife was the long-time director of the Baltimore, Maryland ASPCA, and continues animal volunteer work in Savannah, Georgia, so dogs are very near and dear to all our hearts. The “ Gabbey ” transport will hopefully not only save wonderful and loving animals, but also spread as much happiness to as many families as possible. We want adoptive Joyful Rescue families to have as much love and fun with these rescue animals as we have had with Cosmo." ~ Paul Gabbey Huge thanks to Paul Gabbey and his Cosmo for such a generous, life-saving donation! Louis was born about February 24, 2016 and weighs about 50 lbs. He is wonderful with all of us and the other dogs, really nice boy! He entered the vets office with a wicked case of fleas that caused a severe skin infection. He stayed with the vet until the next trip and he has fully recovered. No doubt he'd enjoy fleas control in his next home. He is a doll full of kisses and wags and can't wait to meet you! This is all we know so far as the staff at the high kill shelter feels asking questions embarrasses the previous owners as the reason for surrender is so often financial. We will be learning as we go and so will you. We did feel he had a bit too much interest in cats to live with any. The Adoption Fee for this dog is $325.00. Adoptions fees vary based on adoptability.
