ADAMAS kindly recalls some of our past rescues....

"Shorty" was purchased from a local puppy miller. He was put in a boarding kennel when he was only 8 weeks old while his owner went on vacation. At the kennel, a dog kenneled next to Shorty, grabbed Shorty's right ear threw the chain link fencing and ripped it off. The owner no longer wanted him and left him at the vets to be put down-- luckily the vet called us. In three days, Shorty had a new home with a loving family. One year later, here is a picture of Shorty playing in the water at his family's lake home.

"Ghost" was a fawn male who was left behind when his family moved out of state. He now lives with a wonderful family in Oakridge, Tenn. Among Ghost's new hobbies are hiking and camping.

"Sheba" was 10 years old when her family moved out of state and abandoned her, on a short chain in her small run. A kind neighbor fed Sheba for 1 month hoping the family would return for her, before calling us. After several months of our fostering, a caring family came forward to love Sheba through the remainder of her Golden Years. Thank you and God Bless you Don.

Mike (shown at left with his new owner Grant, and best Yorkie buddy) and Heather (Right- 2 years) were brought into a marriage by the husband, who then divorced and left the dogs. The wife could not afford food for the dogs, as was evident when I picked them up-- they were each 10-15 pounds underweight. As is typical with pairs that come into rescue, Mike and Heather had to be split up to be adopted out. However, they are in homes with other dogs to keep them company and are much adored by their new families.

Belle was a 11 mos old fawn bitch whose owner "dumped" her at the vet's office when he no longer wanted to pay for routine vet care such as shots. She now lives with her blue Doberman boy-friend "Buster".

Bianca was only 8 weeks old when she was rescued by authorities from an alcoholic woman in Washington State who would leave to detox for days at a time, leaving her dogs tied up outside with no food or water.  She is a big, goofy girl who now lives with her new Dober-boyfriend "Sam". Unfortunately, one of the other Dobermans that lived in the first woman's care was 8 months old at the time of their rescue.  The damage already done to him by her abuse and lack of socialization, made him unadoptable.

Solo was 3 years old, and had already had multiple litters living inside her small 8' x 8' pen, when she was rescued.  Despite the neglect she suffered, in typical Doberman spirit, she was still loving and obedient.  She has since found someone to love, who not only loves her in return, but provides her the safe and comfortable home environment all Dobermans desire and deserve.

MiMi was approximately 8-9 years old when she was rescued from living tied to a tree with no shelter.  Despite the neglect, she loved people- wagging her tail a mile-a-minute, and she loved to play with toys.  After getting to live the life of Riley for almost four months, we had to send MiMi over the Rainbow Bridge due to reoccurring malignant mammary tumors.

Santa to the Rescue...
Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,  
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
With no thought of the dog filling their head.
And mamma in her 'kerchief, and I in my cap,
Knew he was cold, but didn't care about that.
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window I flew like a flash,
Figuring the dog was free of his chain and into the trash.
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow
Gave the luster of midday to objects below,
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
But Santa Claus - with eyes full of tears.
He unchained the dog, once so lively and quick,
Last years Christmas present, now painfully thin and sick.
More rapid than eagles he called the dogs name.
And the dog ran to him, despite all his pain;
"Now, DASHER! Now, DANCER! Now, PRANCER and VIXEN!
On, COMET! On CUPID! On, DONNER and BLITZEN!
To the top of the porch! To the top of the wall!
Let's find this dog a home where he'll be loved by all"
I knew in an instant there would be no gifts this year,
For Santa Claus had made one thing quite clear,
The gift of a dog is not just for the season,
We had gotten the pup for all the wrong reasons.
In our haste to think of the kids a gift
There was one important thing that we missed.
A dog should be family, and cared for the same
You don't give a gift, then put it on a chain.
And I heard him exclaim as he rode out of sight,
"You weren't given a gift! You were given a life!"
