Clifford

We just wanted to send you an email to "Thank You" for giving Clifford the opportunity to have a second chance!! It will be a week tomorrow (Saturday) since Clifford has entered our lives. He is such a sweet boy! We kept his name Clifford because we thought it fit him. He may not be big in size but he has a big heart. We are thankful every day to have him in our lives! After a week he has shown his funny side. He is quite the character. He always puts a smile on our face! 

The girls are counting down the days until they can have a lot of fun with him (we are waiting out 6 weeks for him to recover from heartworms). You can tell he wants to run around and have a good time. :-) As for now, they don't mind giving him a lot of loving! He has become their TV and nap buddy. He loves to sleep in the girls room for bedtime. 

Thank you again for being there for Clifford and the other animals that are looking for a second chance. We also would like to thank Clifford's sponsors: Christine C. and Tamara S. and the counselors that assisted us on Saturday, January 30. We are also very grateful for their support!!

Best regards,

The Szymoniak Family

Sugar (formerly Ruby)

We adopted Ruby a couple of days ago (2/3/10) and we are hooked! Ruby is a sweet bundle of joy. In fact, she is so sweet we named her Sugar. We're smitten with our kitten!!!

Sebastian (formerly Guy)

I adopted Sebastian on Saturday, January 23 as a companion for my cat, Sable. Last November, we lost our best boy, Sigmund, and Sable quickly became depressed and lethargic.  After talking with her vet, he suggested that a younger male cat would make the smoothest transition for her. I looked online at lots of pets, and when I saw "Guy," he seemed like a perfect match. As soon as I met him, I fell in love with him! Even though he was only 11 weeks old, he was just what we were looking for.

The next afternoon, I introduced Sable and Sebastian. Sable was intrigued and not quite sure what to think of him. She followed him around and watched his every move, with an occasional hiss. But she perked up and began playing more on her own, and, within a couple of days, they were chasing each other around and playing like old friends. 

Sebastian particularly loves the cat teaser toys. He's figured out how to hold them in his mouth and drag them across the apartment. His interaction with Sable is very sweet at times, and I feel fortunate to be blessed with two very loving (and very active!) cats.

I can only imagine what Sebastian went through the first few weeks of his life, but after the great start Lyndel gave him, I am going to make sure he has the best life possible. He is exactly what Sable and I needed after losing Sigmund. He's been a big hit on Facebook - my friends are scheduling nights to come over and meet him!

Thank you so much for making this possible -- in particular, to Sheri for answering all of my questions on the phone and to Lyndel for loving him and giving him such a great start. He came into our home with a big heart, lots of playful energy, a healthy food regimen, and most importantly, great litterbox skills! He is one of the best gifts Sable and I will ever receive.

Benito aka "Beny"

Today is Beny's first birthday with us; we adopted him a year ago. We think his real age is around 6 and not 8 as we had thought.

First of all we want to thank APR for the great job you do and also tell you a bit about  Beny. The little boy is a joy and so much fun to watch. He is so tiny he looks like a guinea pig. He loves to run around the house but his favorite place is a corner in the kitchen where he can see what's going on around him.  He still doesn't bark unless it's food time.  He goes crazy when he hears the magic word "essen" ( he speaks German now and it didn't take him long to learn).  He also gets very excited when we go on a car ride.  He understands several commands, is very polite and he gets along with his brother Markus and sister Maxi, but is in love with his other sister Robina.  It's just great to see them always together.

Beny loves the water and is a good swimmer. He loves summertime but winter so far has been a bit boring because he can't enjoy garden exploring as much as he would like to.

He has the privilege to choose whom he wants to sleep with everyday. When he does decide, he finds his place and doesn't move until you wake him up the next morning.

I can't tell you enough about him.  He is our baby and we love him soooooooooooooo much.  Thank you again for saving Beny from that horrible place he was in in Alabama.

Maybelline (formerly Coco) aka "Mabel"

We are getting ready to celebrate one year with Maybelline and I wanted to send you a long overdue update and thank you. 

Mabel has brought so much joy to us!  She is the funniest dog I've ever met - she has a huge vocabulary of sounds to let us know her likes/dislikes and loves to make funny faces at us. 

The most important thing that Mabel did was teach me a huge lesson in how to own a dog.  We were still grieving over the death of our last dog and adopted a dog from APR before we were ready.  Unfortunately, that dog did not like our cats or my husband at all.  When we had to make the painful decision to return him to APR, my husband looked over and saw Coco and fell in love.  Now, the volunteers at APR told us that we could not adopt again that day (very understandable!) so we just went to meet Coco..  I was not at all interested as I really loved the dog we had just turned in.  Well, Coco decided that we were going to be her new family and was very relaxed and sweet when we met her (she had previously bitten several volunteers due to an abusive life prior to APR).  The volunteers were so wonderful and allowed us to adopt her. 

Her long eyelashes demanded that we call her Maybelline and her sense of humor made Mabel so appropriate.  She came home with us and was understandably terrified.  She barked non-stop for about two weeks and tried to bite us several times.  I enrolled her in Class 101 at K-9 Coach and she and I really bonded in that class.  Amber remembered working with her at APR and said she had made great strides.  

The important part of this is that we forget that the dogs that we bring home are often scared and they have no way of knowing what we expect from them.  Mabel definitely taught me to be patient and let her find a place in my heart in her own way but she also showed me the unconditional love that wonderful dogs can give to us all! 

Thank you, APR, for your patience with me and for allowing us to find the PERFECT dog for our home. 

Patty, Lowell, Mabel, Riley, Ben and Jerry

Peggy (formerly Christine)

I adopted Peggy in August and wanted to send you a few pictures toshow you how well she has adjusted to her new life.

Thanks again for saving this wonderful dog.

Kimberly I.

Macallan (formerly Jack)

We adopted Macallan or "Mac" two years ago and he's doing GREAT! He's a beautiful animal, has an amazing personality, and is VERY smart.

He's now 42lbs and has VERY strong herding instincts, LOVES the water, and running free in the woods. We're pretty sure he's Mini-Australian Shepherd with a splash of King Charles Cavalier.

Mac has been a very special addition to our family and we want to thank the team at Atlanta Pet Rescue for everything they do.  Keep up the great work!  If you're thinking of adopting...Go for it...because the endless love and daily joy you'll get back is priceless.

Thanks!

Kelly & Richard L.

Dahlia

Just want to say that Dahlia is a wonderful dog and she is loving life.  She gets walked everyday about 2 to 3 miles and rarely, if ever, is left alone more than a couple of hours.  A great fit for us. 

FYI...She sits, shakes, high fives, lays down, rolls over, and best trick....while sitting we point our finger at her and say "BANG"; she drops to her side and lays as if dead...until we say "OK".  What a hoot.  Smart dog.

Thanks for your work.  All the Best for 2010.

Dennis H.

PS.  About a month ago she sneaked out the door one morning and took off for a prance around the neighborhood.  We were scared to death.  I chased her...probably the wrong thing to do...and lost her.  Patti and I drove around the neighborhood...no Dahlia.  We went back home; who was on the front steps....Dahlia.  Too funny!!

Tallulah (aka Lulu)

I adopted Tallulah the weekend before Thanksgiving.  She is doing great and has brought such joy into my life.  She rules the roost so to speak and is very spoiled. 

She loves to play fetch and snuggle with me.  She never leaves my side when I am home and loves to go bye-bye in the car.  She even flew on an airplane to go see grandma in Ohio (first class) over Christmas. 

Lula has changed my life and I thank you for bringing her to me.

Diane P.

Duchess (formerly Sasha)

I adopted this little cutie pie in September 2008.  She had just come into the shelter from her previous owner’s fiancée, who apparently didn’t want a dog. 

I do believe I got the better end of that deal.  Her name was Sasha, but she didn’t really like that name.  Her name is now Duchess and she lives up to that name.  She is just an absolute delight and I couldn’t love her anymore than I do. 

She is precious.  She loves chasing a ball.  I should say she is obsessed with chasing a ball.  And the remarkable thing is that she brings it right back and gears up for the next throw.  I smile every time I think about her  which is often and always and look forward to getting home at the end of the day to see her.  She is just soooo cute coming and going. 

Thank you guys for all you do.  Keep up the good work in 2010! 

Cheryl K.

Babette

I adopted a wonderful little poodle from you in March of 08 and she is doing great.  I can’t thank the foster mother enough for her patience in helping Babette learn to trust again. 

I have often thought of getting Babette a sister, but she loves all the one-on-one attention she gets and I wouldn’t want to make her feel less important.

Thanks for all the great work you all do.

Best Regards,

Barbara F.

Emma

I adopted Emma on 12/27/08. In the year since I brought her into my home, she has been pure joy. I love her so much and the love and joy she brings to my life is pure heaven.

After the death of my first dog Cinamon, I never thought I could love another dog as deeply again. But when I first saw Emma on your website, I knew she was meant to be mine. She had an ear infection and would  not be available for adoption for 2 weeks. 

Everyday, I viewed her picture and connected with her so much. Much to my delight, I was allowed to adopt Emma even though there were others who wanted her also. Thank you APR for bringing this special girl into my life, I am forever grateful.

Marye H.

Zinnia (aka Zinnie)

I adopted Zinnie in August of 2009. Since Day One, she has changed my life for the better! Playing with her is the greatest part of every day. Since the day I adopted her and she fell asleep in my lap when we got home, I've treasured my time with her.

She loves to go on walks around our neighborhood and cuddle up on the couch. Her cute little face and wagging tail greet me every time I walk into our home. She loves people and exploring new places. She received some rain gear for Christmas since walks in the rain aren't her favorite.

I am so thankful to APR for saving Zinnie and bringing her into my life!

Meg L.

Scarlett (formerly Cherokee)

My husband and I adopted Scarlett in mid-April 2009 when she was just 12 weeks old and newly arrived at APR from her foster home with her sister Navajo.  We wished we could have adopted them both, but Scarlett's new big sister Lucie was waiting at home.  I checked back on the APR site and saw that Navajo was adopted about a month later.

Scarlett is nearly a year old and is growing into a truly beautiful cat. She has certainly brought a lot of fun and activity into our house and has even helped her older sister lose some weight playing tag and wrestling. They also bathe each other and snuggle sometimes.

Scarlett is very confident and vocal when she wants to be held, play or thinks it's dinnertime.  She's very sweet and cuddly when she's sleepy.  She's always loved by our family. 

Thanks to Lyndel for helping us find Scarlett and everyone at APR for all the great work you do.

Igby (formerly Amos)

Happy New Year Atlanta Pet Rescue!

We adopted Igby 3 years ago Super Bowl weekend.  He had suffered a broken pelvis from being hit by a car and all kinds of hardship before he went to his foster home to mend. 

Please let Igby's foster Mom know that Igby is well, happy, healthy, pampered, spoiled, and secure in his home and enjoys a large extended family.  We brought him home to Cincinnati after seeing him and reading about his injuries online (which was a total fluke because a friend with a friend in Atlanta was just showing me the website for fun...we were not looking to adopt).  "It Had To Be You" is our song and the roadtrip well worth the results. 

We've attached some photos of our full of spunk Pomeranian.  He's about 4 years old now, still loves his wicker bed, toys, walks, soft blankets, and being nosy, and basically cracks us up on a daily basis. 

May 2010 bless you with an abundance of happy, safe, loving homes. 

Billie and Vincent P. + Igby

Abbott

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 

Hope you were all just as spoiled at Christmas as I was :)

Love, Abbott

Toby

Hi! My name is Toby I looked like a Toby so Toby I stayed my boy said the day we met! I found my forever home two years ago today (1-3-08) and what a great 2 years it has been. I had been hanging around Atlanta Pet Rescue waiting for the right boy to come in and when mine came in, it was love at first sight!

His mom, on the other hand, had to be worked on as she had only had huskies for 22 yrs. My boy pleaded my case of how I would be virtually "maintenance free" compared to the motto of "fur, fur and more fur" in their house. With that point made, I knew I had my paw in the door!

I came home to find "a dog's life" didn't even describe what I was in for. I had two new sisters to torment (I get as much as I give), toys everywhere to play with, AND...I get to sleep in whatever bed I want to each night!! And even though half the gang here has 4 paws, that's no reason not to have birthday parties! You should have seen my dog biscuit cake-two paws up I say! (I so-o-o-o have my boy's mom wrapped around my tail).

I want to thank the APR folks for doing such a great job taking in guys like me. Without your help I would never be living the dream life I am now. Here's to 2010 and the many pets you will save-God Bless you!

Toby

Hannah

I just wanted to give a quick update on Hannah, my amazing dog I adopted from APR in September 2005.

We have lived in Chicago now for 3 years and she has learned to love playing in the snow (and if her prance is any indication, she loves the attention she gets when sporting one of her doggie coats!) Since her fearful state when I adopted her she has transformed into a loving, trusting companion. Her days of abuse before her rescue by APR are just a distant memory, replaced by a life of lounging, playing, running and cuddling. She is one content pup! I have many friends say they wish they could clone Hannah for their own pet and dog sitters are plentiful when I leave town. I am so blessed to have been matched with her that fateful day in 2005. I never knew how much Hannah would enhance my life and just wanted to thank APR again for saving my Hannah from her former abusive situation and giving me the honor of being "her human".

Her newest endeavor has come from visiting my Grandma in her nursing home. The residents and workers all love her visits and seeing my Grandma light up when Hannah comes to see her is just another blessing Hannah provides. She's truly an angel.

I attached a couple recent photos of Hannah. Although since she's usually napping it's hard to get a head-on shot! Ha.

Happy New Year to Atlanta Pet Rescue!

Pearl (formerly Millie)

While everyone is resting after several hours of play, I'm jotting you a quick update on Pearl.  She joined our family only a week and a half ago but is already as comfortable as a well worn pair of jeans. As you can see from the picture, she and Hershel (my parents' big, black pound puppy) have a grand time playing chase and wrestle.  Goldie the shorthaired mut is also a good friend.  Pearl visited Piedmont Dog Park last week with great success, loving every dog she met. 

We're working on adding a few pounds to her underweight frame.  She eats so very daintily and has the softest mouth.  She does like chewing on bones but gives them up without a fight if Hershel sneaks one away. She doesn't beg and was very well behaved during a dinner party.

Our vet discovered an ear infection and upped the antibiodics you gave us.  Pearl's foot with the missing toenails is healing nicely (Rob, my husband, and I give her a medicated foot bath every evening).  She has been to the groomer (but will need another trip after all the wrestling!) and will start obedience classes January 9th.

We are still amazed that a dog as sweet as Pearl came up for adoption. Thank you for helping us connect with this jewel of a pet.

All the best,

Cydnee

Abigail & Annie and Missy (formerly Courage)

Of course, after reading April's update (see below), I had to let you know how her daughters, Abigail and Annie, are doing.  I adopted them in June 2007.  These sisters fit my personality so well being very laid back (for the most part).  Annie, on the right, insists nightly on the "let's chase the laser light" game accompanied by her new sister, Missy (AKA Courage).  Abigail just chooses to watch them play.

Missy (formerly Courage) chose me when I visited the APR earlier this year.  She is demonstrative in giving and receiving affection.  All of the girls get along very well.  Annie and Abigail are captivated by Missy who has turned out to be the "playground" leader in their escapades.

I love my girls very much and am thankful to APR for helping pets to secure a home.  Thanks also to Lyndel who keeps in touch with me.

John B.

Bear (formerly Huey)

Bear has adjusted great to the our house.  He is so adorable and smart; within one day we taught him to walk on his leash--he loves going on walks (4 or 5 a day :)

He and our 8 year old Bichon Petey have become bff's.  They play together and sleep on the same bed.  It is so cute.  Bear has made Petey young again.  He was beginning to sleep all day and be lazy but now he has pepped up and become as active as a puppy.   Bear jumps on his head to get him to play and Petey knocks him around with his nose.  Bear loves it and keeps coming back for more.  They are so cute together.  

Bear is doing great sleeping all night long and has been going potty outside (yippee) first thing every morning.  He still has a couple accidents during the day but is getting much much better each day.  He loves getting his treats and has learned that when he 'goes' outside he will get a treat.  He even tries to trick us by "pretending" to go and then looks up for a treat.  He is so so cute!!!  

Hope you had a great holiday and have a Happy New Year.  Just wanted you to know that Bear is happy and already part of the family.

Little Red Fox (formerly Indy)

We adopted Little Red Fox eighteen months ago and I can say, without exaggeration, that he has taught our family the true meaning of, “Man’s Best Friend.”  Fox is an intelligent, energetic, friendly, and gentle little dog that loves other dogs as much as people.  We couldn’t ask for a better companion for our six year old daughter.  He takes all of her “love” in stride with that classic Pom smile on his face.

From day one, Fox was perfectly housebroken.  I can count the number of accidents he’s had in the house on one hand.  For example, last week, he had an upset stomach and asked to go outside.  It was cold and he stayed out in the backyard for a long time.  I was worried that he’d get too cold, so I went out and brought him in.  He just wanted back outside, so I let him out again.  He wanted back out because, apparently, he hadn’t yet thrown up and did not want to do so in the house.  Sure enough, about five minutes later, he threw up and came back to the back door.  How many dogs would go to that much effort not to throw up in the house?  Not many.

Fox comes to my office with me during the day and sleeps in our bedroom at night.  He loves to be around the family and, as much as we can, we let him.  He has become an integral part of our family.  I can’t imagine how we ever got along without him.  I’ve never had a dog before that was so confident, while also so friendly and eager to please.  If there’s a dog hall of fame out there, Fox belongs in it.

Thanks Atlanta Pet Rescue! 

Regards,

Mark W.

Simon

Hi!  My name is Simon and my  mom adopted me almost 9 months ago from APR.

I am a very lucky little dog and love my new life. My mom  takes me to the little dog park in Smyrna and also takes me to daycare to play with all of my new friends. I have lots of energy and tons of love to share.

My mom says I changed her life for the better…….I think that is good! Thanks APR for helping me find a loving home.

Simon

Flynn

Today is Flynn's second anniversary and oh what a two years it's been! He has gone from being extremely sick with environmental allergies and cancer, to a happy little playful guy no longer sick and in pain.

He likes to take Maesey's toys and then run so she will chase him, laughing all the way.

Each day with Flynn is a gift, and Maesey and I just love him more and more! Thank you APR, you do great things for both people and our pets!

Kathy V.

Zeus (formerly Cosmo)

Just wanted you to know that Zeus has a new friend..... Champ the Blue Great Dane and is doing wonderfully!

Zeus loves to run and play tug of war. He gives lots of kisses and loves to sleep on mommy's bed when no one is looking!!

Thanks APR for giving us the opportunity to show Zeus what love is all about!!

Sandra M.

Jasmine (formerly Imogene)

I just wanted to send you some pictures of Jasmine, whom I adopted in March, 2005.  I love her so very much and she loves me just as much.  She is just such a joy and gives me so much love that it is hard to believe.  I'm so very lucky that she is mine, thanks to Gigi.  I can never thank her enough for giving me my little girl.  And yes, I mean little girl.  I'm so very glad that she chose me too.  You both took a chance on a first time dog owner.  I just wanted to let you know she is not only loved, but cherished as well. 

We just came back from spending time in Kissimmee, FL for the Christmas holiday.  She got a chance to meet her cousins Jada and Leah.  They had a good time and got along great, as you can see.  It was great seeing her interact with other dogs and I'm sure she enjoyed it as well.

Hey, my turn.  Jasmine here.  Hello APR.  I'm doing well and am very happy with my Mom.  She spoils me rotten and I love it.   Listen, I just didn't want my picture taken in that outfit.  It was just a little too much and I had to let her know it.  LOL.   Plus, I just didn't want to be embarrassed in front of my cousins.  Thank you for helping find my forever home. 

Salanda V. and Jasmine

Woodrow (formerly Josh)

Woodrow and I are approaching our first anniversary together (Jan. 23). He is my constant companion and I don’t know what I would do without him. He’s a healthy, happy little guy and he goes to work with me every day. APR has my best wishes for a wonderful New Year!

Best regards,

Susie P.

Gandalf

We adopted Gandalf from Atlanta Pet Rescue about 2 years ago and he is one of the many joys in our life.  We cannot believe how lucky we are to have him.  He came to us neutered, healthy, happy, and ready to be loved!  I should be the one thanking you and your organization!! 

Much appreciation to you and your org!

Ring R. and Patrick C.

April

My name is April and I’m an APR alumni.  I chose my Mom and Dad and was adopted in June 2007 when I was 2 years old.  I wanted to say Merry Christmas to everyone so I asked Mom’s permission to use the computer.  Of course, she said yes – she thinks most anything I do is cute!

I’ve been a very good girl this Christmas season so I know Santa will stop by my house. I even have a stocking hanging on the mantel.  I’ve attached a couple of pictures of me helping Mom wrap presents.  Also, I agreed to pose in front of the tree with this thing Mommie calls “Richie Bear”.  She says people who have been in Atlanta for a long time will know all about him (it has something to do with Rich’s Dept Store). 

Well, its time for my nap, so I’ll close.

Merry Christmas!

April

P.S.  Mommie and Daddy want to thank everyone at APR for the wonderful work you do to help homeless and abandoned cats and dogs find wonderful and safe forever homes.

Lulu (formerly Garland)

Lulu came to live with her forever family one year ago.  Six days prior, she was rescued from a horrendous puppy mill consisting of crowded, stacked rabbit cages out in the woods in Pell City, Alabama, along with 53 other little dogs.  Over a dozen dogs were healthy and stable enough to be ready for adoption within a week. Some were sent to Atlanta Pet Rescue and some stayed in Alabama. (I've since read that all were eventually adopted.)

On Friday morning, Dec. 19, 2008, I checked the APR website and saw a little black Poodle.  We decided to go meet "Garland" when she became available on Tuesday, Dec. 23.  In the lobby area before 11:00 AM opening, many were there to see "Barnaby," a very cute Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.  Also, we were not the only ones there for Garland, but when we met her and she met us and our 16 year old girl, Minnie, also adopted from APR (June 2006), she was gentle and timid and not aggressive or wild.  We knew she was the one for us.  We had to wait while others saw Garland, hoping that we would be chosen.  Finally we were handed our dog!  She was sweet and calm while we put a sweater on her, and sat quietly on her mama's lap while we completed the paperwork and got our picture taken.

I put her in a carrier and drove her and Minnie home.  Inside the front door, I opened the carrier door - she cautiously stepped out, then - BAM! - took off like a flash running through each room of the house at top speed, over and over!  She must have felt the most freedom of her two years at that moment.   

It took a while to get her to trust us.  She has her own funny personality and still some mild fear-quirks around noises but has come so far from those first days when she seemed so frightened of everything.  We still walk her on a leash in our backyard because we're not sure if she'll hear something (anything) and bolt away (she's hard to catch, even in the house) but it's a small issue and part of our routine.  She loves toys, and can pick out her "favorite toy," "penguin toy" and "ball."  She is so smart - this dog needs a job!  We're looking into agility and "nose" classes for her for next year.  Minnie tolerates her and has finally started playing with her - a little.  :)  They sleep together in the same bed in the day.

Lulu is really a happy little dog.  She knows she's loved and cared for.  And we're lucky to have her.

Merry, merry Christmas.

Roxy (formerly Tiki)

I hope you all are doing well and getting ready for the holidays.  I just thought I would send you some pictures of my red Doberman Roxy.  A friend gave her a Snuggie for Dogs as a Christmas gift and I got a few funny pictures before she decided to tear into it and turn into the hulk. 
 
Roxy has been settling in to her new home and her personality is showing more and more.  We go for runs and long walks and she's even been to obedience training.  We still need to work on that a little but she seems very happy and loves her new kitty brother, Cody the cat.  So much so, that she gets "war wounds" from him every now and then. 

Hope you enjoy the photos!  And happy holidays! Thanks so much for bringing her into our lives! 
 
Samra

Isabella

Isabella was adopted 11/14/04 from APR. She wishes to say Happy Holidays to all at APR and to say thank you for all you do from our home in the north Georgia woods!

Skylark

Hadley (formerly Greta)

I just wanted to update you on the dog I got just before Thanksgiving. Her name is Hadley. 

She has been a wonderful addition to my life and has fit right in!  She is so very sweet and cute. She is house and cratetrained and is so very excited to have her own things. She seems to love her new home.  She is the best dog I could've hoped for! 

She has brought a lot of joy into my life and I'm grateful to have found her on your site! I'm glad that I can give her a second chance at life! We are both happy together!

Thanks again for your help.  It was such an easy process and your staff was wonderful! What you do to save dogs and find them happy homes is amazing!  

Happy Holidays to you!   

Mandy D.

Molly (formerly Frances)

I adopted Molly  in October.  When I got her home, I found her to be 100% house and crate trained.  I also learned that she  loves, loves, loves to play with her toys... especially fetch.  

I am  happy to report that this week she graduated from Beginner's Obedience School with flying colors.  It would be impossible to thank Atlanta Pet Rescue enough for what you do for homeless animals and, especially, for saving Molly from animal control and a very uncertain fate. Now she is happy in her forever home waiting for Santa to come and fill that stocking that is hung over the fireplace with her name on it! Happy Holidays to you all!
