MELODY

Melody is a 2-3 year old female Pointer who was rescued by a wonderful person who took her and her ten puppies out of a very bad situation. As you can see from her pictures (taken the day she came to us), Melody was nothing but a bag of bones, but from the very beginning as been just as gentle and sweet as she can be. On the day they were brought to us we were with her and her pups giving them canned food and kibble (pups were about 4 weeks old). Melody started to eat, but when the pups dove into the food pan Melody stepped back to let them eat which told us volumes about her gentle and nurturing nature. We gave Melody and her pups lots of TLC, food and vitamins and the puppies are did great and Melody  put on some weight. Melody's coat is in good condition amazingly enough as are the pups.

MOLLY

Molly was a stray that came into the shelter, but she had on a fairly new flea collar, so someone had owned her. She had been found by a woman in her yard after a thunderstorm. She said Molly couldn't walk. When she brought her in, she didn't want to walk, and she was very scared. She was carried in and they placed her on a blanket. She was very thin and very dirty. After her holding time was up, one of the staff took her home. She was found to be heartworm positive, and she had a dislocated hip as well as hip dysplasia. She had also been shot some time in her past. She went through the HW treatment and a couple of months later, she had surgery which corrected her dislocation. Molly is now living a Happy and Healthy life!!
