the head and suffered

infested with fleas and
with significant hair loss
due to a flea allergy. She

new home and is much
loved.

7. Charlie (formerly Harlee)
Poor Charlie! She was originally hit by a car, then
she suffered heatstroke, THEN she had to be
treated for heartworm. After all that, it took almost
a year for her to find her perfect home! Totally
spoiled now, as you can see..

8. Sasha
Sasha was shot in the head
by her owner and rescued
from a house fire set by
him. The public donated
thousands of dollars
towards her care, and she is
now in her home sweet
home.

9. We truly appreciate all the
generous donations we receive
– whether it’s food, bedding, cat
litter, money or even air
conditioners! We wouldn’t be
who we are without everyone’s
help!

10. Cinderella
This senior girl came in
with very poor skin
condition, and overall
poor health, so we got her
on medications and she is
now doing great!

11. Notso
Notso was hit by a car
and sustained pelvic
injuries. His owners
couldn’t afford the care so
we got him to the vets
and fixed up, and he’s
now in a new home.

12. Rin
Adorable little Rin came
in with a huge testicular
tumor, so large that he
could hardly walk or sit,
and he was also
heartworm positive. He
had surgery and
treatment and he’s
adored now in his new
home!

13. Cassidy
This adorable boy came to the shelter after being hit
by a car – his leg had to be amputated but it hasn’t
stopped him at all. He loves his home and all his
feline brothers and sisters, and his mom adores him!

14. Ellie
Ellie came to us with
very limited vision and
was in poor physical
condition. She needed
constant eye drops and
medication.
She now lives in a home
with other dogs and is
the queen of the house!

Swisher is one of our
alumni – his new
family is so happy
with him! We thank
them for giving him
such a great home!

16. Keke
Before After
Keke was abandoned in a foreclosed home – flea ridden, suffering
from bad skin allergies, hair loss, almost blind in both eyes, and
anemic. She was treated and got a lot of TLC while at the shelter.
Her new family loves her so much and she is doing great!!

17. We would like to send out a HUGE
thank you to our ACO, Owen Little.
Without him our shelter wouldn’t
be what it is today, and so many
animals would not have been saved
and found loving homes.

18. Tux
Sweet boy Tux came into
the shelter completely
matted, and also heartworm
positive, but at the time
there was a nationwide
shortage of the meds
needed. He was taken into
a foster home and one of
our rescue friends helped
find the medication needed.
Thanks to all who helped!

19. Kid Rock!
I had to put a pic of my boy,
Kid Rock, in here. It took
him over a year to find a
home, but he finally found a
great one!

20. Apollo
Another happy adoptee!
Apollo’s family had
adopted another dog,
Champ, from us years
ago. When he passed
away they came to the
shelter, met Apollo, and
fell in love!

21. Theo! (aka Chase)
Before After
 Before
You may know him as Chase, and chase him we did, for months! After
finally getting him to the shelter, he had lost 75% of his coat, had fleas and
open sores, and was diagnosed with severe cases of mange and scabies. He is
now happy and healthy in his forever home with 2 other dogs and enjoying
the love and life he deserves.

22. Avery
BEFORE AFTER
Avery was left at our shelter when his owner no longer wanted
him – he was almost hairless and suffering from a bad infection.
He was treated, but got very depressed at the shelter. He was
adopted by a wonderful family and is now completely spoiled!

23. Morkie
Isn’t he cute!!?? And
yes, all that hair came
off this poor little guy.
He could barely move
until we had him shaved
down, and he was so
happy once that filthy,
matted coat was gone!

24. Also a big shout out to our former Asst ACO
Kristina Ruszczyk for all her caring and
dedication!! Kristina continues to help us
find homes for our animals.
And WELCOME to Anthony Purificato, our
new Asst ACO!

25. Mooner
Poor Mooner came in with a badly injured leg – we tried
to save the leg, but it wouldn’t heal so we unfortunately
had to have it amputated. This did not stop Mooner from
finding a great home though!

26. Tank
This is our buddy Tank –
he originally came to us
as an injured pup and with
the public’s help we were
able to have surgery on
his leg. Unfortunately
Tank is back at the shelter
and now needs surgery for
his other leg. Donations
are what we count on to
help all of our animals…

27. Samantha & puppies
We even help out expectant moms too! Samantha gave
birth to a litter of adorable puppies, all healthy and
everyone, including mom, were adopted!

28. Coco Chanel
Miss Coco Chanel is one
of our all-time favorite
girls at the shelter! She
was adopted and had to
be returned because the
family lost their home,
but she found another
great new home! Love
you girl!!

29. Pebbles
We don’t know what
happened to Pebbles,
but she has a hard time
walking due to tremors,
but it doesn’t stop her
from getting around and
also from being adopted
– she is such a pretty
girl and we all love her!

30. Maggie
Our beloved Sally was
abandoned when her owner
moved out of his home. She
had a horrible skin condition,
and we found out later she
also had Cushing’s Disease.
She passed away recently, but
knew love and happiness in
her new home. We thank her
owners for caring for her and
making her last days so full of
love…

31. Isaac
Little Isaac was so sick when he came in we didn’t
think he was going to make it. With vet care and a
lot of TLC, he is a beautiful boy today, and loves his
best buddy Gumbo!

32. Queenie
Queenie came to us as a
stray and was with us
for 7+ months. She
finally got her day, and
look at her now!!!

33. Duke
Duke was a handful, to
say the least. A little bit
of work from our
dedicated volunteers
and he is now in his
forever home.

34. We would also like to thank our dedicated
volunteers…
Lesley Simoni
Kathi Otto
Georgia Bagdi
Behz Akhund
and others…
Their time and dedication has helped so many
animals not only become healthy and happy, but find
their forever homes.

35. Quentin - Adoptable
Quentin was picked up
roaming the Q-bridge.
He was frozen with fear
his first few days here
but now he is just as
happy go lucky as they
come! He is one of the
sweetest dogs ever, and
loves giving big kisses!

36. Murphy - Adoptable
Murphy is a stray, who
from day one was very
friendly. He is happy,
goofy & just a loveable
boy and is looking for a
place to call home.

37. “Throw Away Momma” - Adoptable
This beautiful, gentle young girl was brought into us along with her
2 sons without any real reason. This momma and her babies were
perfectly sweet from go. She is a little over 1 year old and doesn’t
mind being picked up and is very easygoing & affectionate

38. Black Kittens & Mom - Adoptable
 They were dumped outside
our shelter in the back
along with the mom, who
is only a kitten herself. She
is VERY sweet! She kept
her 2 babies safe from
harm until we were able to
catch them all. The babies,
1 male are about 6 weeks
old. So need to stay with
mom for at least 2 more
weeks. Mom is about 10
months old and will need a
forever home soon as well.

39. Lana - Adoptable
Lana is a 5 year
old beautiful female kitty
- she was very shy and
scared when she came in
but she has really
blossomed, and now she
loves attention. There
were too many cats in the
house that she was in, so
we are hoping to find her
a nice quiet home.

40. Pretty Samantha - Adoptable
This sweet girl was
brought in when the
other cats in the house
didn't like her.
Samantha is very
affectionate and loves
attention! She is
approximately 5 years
old and would love to
get into a new home
very soon!

41. #70 - Adoptable
He came to us in a litter
of 7 kittens that were
found in an abandoned
home. He is almost 8
weeks old, and would
love a home with some
kitty friends to play
with. He is a typical
kitten and loves to
jump, play and get into
trouble

42. Noodles - Adoptable
Noodles has this
incredible wiggle when
you meet him, like a
Noodle, hence the
name. Noodles is a very
energetic and friendly
dog who loves to run
around and play with
adults and children. He
absolutely loves to play
with toys as well.

43. Lucky!!! - Adoptable
Lucky came to us as a stray
and surprisingly was never
claimed. He gets along with
other dogs, big and small, as
well as children of all ages.
He loves to learn and will
give you big wet kisses in
return, and he walks very
well on leash. He is the
PERFECT FAMILY DOG!!
A dog like this does not
come around too often!

44. Bonnie - Adoptable
Bonnie is a beautiful
middle-aged girl with a
lovely chocolate colored
coat. Bonnie would be great
for someone to cuddle and
watch a movie with in the
winter with a few short
walks during the day.
Bonnie is happy &
affectionate and loves to be
around people.

45. Thank you to all of you, who are here
tonight, to help animals in need! You
are VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!!!
