Tied up for the Holidays - Othello is a one year old black Lab mix. On Memorial Day, 2009 we received a call on the hotline about a dog tied to a vet office door for over seven hours. It was a holiday and people driving by would call several organizations but they were all closed. Volunteers Mike and Lori R. drove over and saw Othello tied with less than a foot of leash. They put a vet lead around his neck and cut the leash from the door. Look at this happy boy today. Thanks Mike and Lori.

 Foreclosed Pooches - Bingo and Carson were left abandoned in a backyard for over a month in the middle of June. These two boys needed help. The neighbor had been giving them food and water. It was getting hotter each day so we were contacted in hopes that we could take them. We are so overloaded with foreclosure dogs but felt we had to make room for two more. Here they are today.

Deserted in the Desert - This is Avianna, a female two year old Aussie mix. Avianna was found in the middle of the desert one afternoon by people horseback riding. They immediately contacted one of our volunteers for help. Avianna had been hit by a car and left to die but with lots of donated vet care from Park Vet and loving fosters, Avianna is alive today and has found a forever home.
