Bravo is still waiting for a home. Our cute little tripod boy had been sitting on death row for 10 days at a shelter after being hit by a car. Just before his time was up, we took him. Our vet had to amputate his leg. But don't tell him that -- he's running around faster than a 4-legged pooch.

And see Bravo today!!

Sweetie was surrendered to a high kill shelter in Florida's panhandle. Our volunteer called to rescue her just as she was being walked to her death. What timing, huh? Great people got her down to south Florida and now she lives with a wonderful guy in Delray Beach. Now, that's sweet!

Oh Bandit boy. So happy he's now living permanently with his former foster mom. He was dumped at the Orlando, Florida shelter by a family for no apparent reason. The staff didn't want to euthanize him so we pulled him & the rest is history. He's being pampered by a wonderful woman in south Florida.

Who could refuse "Smiley" boy? We couldn't -- that's for sure. We were able to help another rescue group pull him off of death row just in time. We're the ones smiling now. Please always adopt!

Prince (black & white) is really enjoying his new life. Thinking back to when we first heard about him tied to a tree with no shelter for many, many months. Wow, so glad we cut him loose and brought him into our rescue network. He lounges around with his new sibling & parents. Just the way his life should be!

"Bruce" was found wandering the streets by a good samartin. Finally, it was Bruce's lucky day. We had him neutered and completely vetted. It turns out, he had massive ear infections & his foot pads were worn down pretty badly (probably was kept in a concrete run). His great escape saved his life. He's now in a safe foster home. Ahhh...happy story. We like these!

Bella (right) was rescued within just moments of being put to sleep at an Orlando, Florida shelter. We were able to pull her off of death row, get her into a foster home & then find her a loving home. She now lives with Jake (left) who was also rescued from a terrible predicament. They're buddies who winter in south Florida & hang out on a farm in West Virginia during the summers. Must be nice!

This beautiful girl made it out of the shelter with just minutes to spare! Because she needed heartworm treatment and the shelter was bulging at the seams with dogs, her time was up. Thankfully, we got together with our rescuers & moved her to a safe place to start her treatment and the rest of her life.

Xena (far right), is in a home with a gentleman who loves her (& her siblings) but couldn't afford to have her spayed. We believe in this procedure so much that we helped him with low cost altering. She's doing great.

LuckyLucky needed some major surgery (torn ACL) in order to walk normally & be on his way for adoption. Lucky was finally "lucky" when a nice couple in Miami found him on the street and made this operation & wellness happen. We were happy to be a part of this circle of kindness.

With the support and rallying of several passionate lovers (including us), MAC was pulled off of death row with only miutes to spare. He's now safe in rescue.

This little Pittie was just about to be put down at a shelter because she had a bulging eye. It was determined that she had sustained blunt trauma. Boy, dogs are so resilient. With our help, she was taken into rescue and will be given the best vet care she needs. UPDATE 9/08: Now named Molly had her eye removed & is doing well. Click here to see her after surgery.

Georgie or shall we call him "Smiley" was pulled off of death row with only hours to spare. With our help, this little cutie is safe in a Florida rescue.

Grady was hit by a car & left to fend for himself until a good samaritan saved him from the street. His back leg was badly hurt. He had two options: An expensive corrective surgery or amputation. Several hopeful people chipped in (including us) to make sure he got the surgery he deserved. Here he is after the successful operation!

Oreo made it out of the shelter by her chinny chin chin. Take a look at just one of her several pups to the right!
