osted an urgent plea for Sweet Minnie. 911**** plea Minnie 17-0373 heartworm positive lab 10 plus years.Our volunteers and staff have been trying to catch her for 2 years. She has had a horrible life. Multiple litters.Injured back leg.Failed by humans multiple times.Scared of everything not vicious.She going to have babies any minute.We need to get her out of the shelter ASAP.Being treated by Vet as we speak. RESCUE ONLY. She cowers away hides her face .She lets you touch her but has trust issues.Never tried to bite staff.This lady needs a break please help get her out of here. Minnie arrived in PA yesterday and is safe in foster awaiting the birth of her babies, fortunately her foster mom and dad are both nurses! Xrays revealed buck shot in her hind. She cannot bear weight on her rt. rear leg and probably hasn't for some time as the muscles have atrophied. Minnie will likely need an amputation at some point as well as heartworm treatment. It was a very tough decision to allow Minnie to give birth but she is so close to delivery that if just wouldn't be right to abort. For now we are asking for positive thoughts that this girl has a safe delivery and healthy babies. Minnie has seen all of her babies find their forever homes, now it is her turn. She is under going her heartworm treatment. She is feeling much better these days and has use of her back leg. She is timid of new people but since she spent much time on the streets this is not surprising. She needs someone to show her the love she has been missing for so long. Minnie has completed her heartworm treatment and all went well. She is feeling good these days and enjoying life off the streets and in a loving foster home. She has come a long way since coming into the rescue but she still needs time to warm up to new people but medically she is improving everyday.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
