Ginger

Ginger, our lobby security, who is a 6 year old female lab mix.  Ginger has been diagnosed with being allergic to everything which means she is eating a special blend of food and needs to be in a home with no other animals, especially cats, because she is allergic to them also.  We give her Benadryl on a daily basis to keep her from being irritated and scratchy.  Ginger is a wonderful dog who is just looking to find someone to give her a home where love and affection is all she desires.  Ginger has been socialized with all of our dogs and cats and has sometimes attended obedience class depending on the number of volunteers we have helping.  If you think you have time to devote to Ginger and her somewhat "special" needs, stop in at the shelter and hang out with her and all of her friends.  She loves to visit with new people and is in search for that special connection.

Hope

On one of our rare cold December days, our shelter staff made a startling discovery outside the shelter.  Wrapped in a blanket and tucked into the planter bench on the shelter porch was a 6 – 8 week old female pit bull puppy.  Not only was the puppy malnourished, but she was just about hairless and covered with red scabby bumps over her entire body due to demodectic mange (thankfully not contagious to humans or other animals).  She was truly a pathetic sight.  Suggestions by our facebook followers led to the name Hope, representing our hope that the mange could be eliminated and she could find a forever home.

Hope went to a foster home for isolation and there her foster mom discovered that Hope was truly one of the sweetest, most loving puppies ever.  Every night she cuddled up in bed with her foster mom, draped across her neck or snuggled up beside her and was pretty much glued to her side.  She quickly got the hang of pottying outside and learned to love her Frosty Paws ice cream.  Her foster mom, her doctors, and everyone who met her was completely smitten.  And as her silvery tan coat came in, we could see that she was going to be a beauty, with a white chest and faint brindle markings.

After five weeks in her foster home, Hope was cleared to go to the shelter and meet the dogs.  It was pretty much love at first sight for Hope and the shelter dogs and now she’s a full-fledged member of the pack and ready for adoption. Stop by and meet Hope and the other dogs (Hope gratefully accepts all donations of Frosty Paws!)
