Dixie, female, age 2-1/2
My name is Dixie and I've had a pretty bad start in my short life but things are looking up. I have spent 2 years of my life in a small outside pen and didn't have any interaction with other dogs and little with humans except for feeding time but thanks to my human uncle he saved me from a life time in that pen. I love people (especially my uncle) but since I haven't been around other dogs I'm not so fond of them. My foster mom is working with me to accept them and we'll see how that goes. It probably would be best if I could just be in a home that I would be the only pet. I am up to date on my vaccines, spayed and heartworm negative.
Nikki, female, age 6
My owners turned me in to the animal shelter because they were moving and didn't want to take me with them. I am up to date on my vaccines, heartworm negative and spayed. I have lost some of my hair and kinda itchy because of fleas but I'm getting meds and baths to make me beautiful again. I am 6 years old but I act like a 2 year old. I am in a foster home with another golden and doing just great. I had a pretty busy day with getting out of the shelter and then going to the Dr. and then getting to my foster home and I was a little tuckered when my picture was taken but when I get all settled in I'll have them take a better picture of me or better yet send in an adoption application and meet me in person.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for rescuing me. My foster mom cried and hugged me when she heard the story on what I have gone through. The way that I came to the Rescue was someone called animal control to come check on me and they came out to my house to investigate. They found me tied to a tree with a nylon cord with no food, no water and no shelter. They were going to give the person owned me a citation but then all of a sudden she says "that's not my dog". I guess that was good because the Animal Control Officer took me to the shelter. Since the lady said I wasn't her dog I had to stay at the shelter for 10 days so if someone was looking for me they could find me. I was so scared at the shelter and didn't know what was going to happen to me. I heard people talking that no one was going to want me because I was too old and smelly. That's when a wonderful volunteer at the shelter came and picked me up to drive me part way to Charleston because she knew that the Rescue would certainly want me. I have had a nice warm bath which felt so good, I was so grimy and dirty. I am now up to date on my vaccines but unfortunately I am heartworm positive which is no surprise since my owner didn't care if I lived or died. I am in a foster home with another dog and cats. You can see in my picture that I am very comfortable living in a house and l LOVE all the attention I am getting. I feel love for the first time in my life.
