Sad Pitbull and Shar Pei mixed breed dog with mange skin condition Picture

Sammie was a pitiful looking pitbull and Shar pei mix breed dog that came into the animal shelter on September 9, 2019. Since she was missing quite a bit of fur over her whole body, I knew she'd take some time to rehome. I wasted no time and took her out for her adoption photography the next morning. She was so sad and unhappy looking in her photos, I was hoping her happy butt-wiggling and tail wagging in her video would get her noticed. 

It took a bit longer than the other dogs, but she was rescued by Washington-Wilkes DAWGS Rescue on September 20, 2019! Dana, Becky, Eileen, Jason and Anne all made donations to the rescue on behalf of Sammie!

I was out on a Saturday long run and found this young buck curled up on the side of the road on the outskirts of town. After I took the cell photo he jumped up to run off. His front right leg was completely broken and dangling but he managed to take off into the woods and out of sight.

"Black" was picked up by an animal control officer on August 28, 2019. The following day her owner called the shelter and said they would come claim. That sounded like good news, but when the shelter searched the address, it seems there has been a history of problems with this dog owner. 

"Black" was probably just being used as a backyard breeding dog to make some money selling her pups. It looked like she may have been pregnant yet again. She was also heartworm positive, indicating she's spent much of her short life outdoors and without basic veterinary preventatives. 

We weren't too sad when Black's owners didn't show up during the holding period and she luckily went into a good rescue for a new chance at life on September 12, 2019. Her heartworm treatment was sponsored by pledged donations from Eileen, Jason and Anne.

Ace was surrendered to the animal shelter by his owner on September 4, 2019. Being about 8-months-old, he was in that "in-between" stage of puppy and adult hood. I knew if I used my typical 70-300mm lens, he'd look like an older dog. So I decided to try my 35mm lens and see if his smaller size would be better represented in the photos.  Ace was rescued just two days later by Washington-Wilkes DAWGS Rescue with pledged donations to the rescue from Cindy, Becky and Anne.

White fluffy Tibetan Mastiff mix breed dog adoption rescue Picture

In over two decades of working in animal shelters, I’ve never seen Zeus’ breed before. I have to admit, my first assumption was that he was a Great Pyrenees mix. But after checking out his vet records, a shelter co-worker discovered Zeus was actually a Tibetan Mastiff mix!

His owner surrendered him to the animal shelter on September 3, 2019. He was a young boy at just 9 months old. They said he was getting too territorial aggressive with strangers coming to the house. Now I’m no genius, but I would assume that if you didn’t desire guarding behavior, you wouldn’t buy a dog that is bred for guardian purposes.
​
Tibetan Mastiffs were originally bred at sheep guardian dogs. There were reportedly tied outside the home as a guardian and in nomad camps and in villages allowed to run loose at night to protect sheep from wolves, leopards, bears, and tigers.

I thought his protective behavior was going to make it hard to get him re-homed. But I was wrong again! By the end of the day, Zeus had 9 pending adoption/rescue applications. When he left early the next morning he had 14 interested rescues!
He was rescued by Bullpen Rescue on September 4, 2019. His rescue was sponsored by donations to the rescue from Dana, Polly and Becky.

Huck's Happy Ending

So nice to receive this email and photo ten years after taking this handsome boy's photo...
Picture
​Hello Bill - I just saw your name and email address come across a posting and I’m so happy to know how to reach you - you helped a beautiful yellow lab get to Atlanta Lab Rescue almost 10 years ago - he was 3.5yo (owners who dumped him also left his vet records so I know his birthdate)...top of the euth list, but you reached out to  Becky at ALR and told her she absolutely had to take him - I was living in CT at the time and happened to see him on ALR website and the rest is history thanks to you and Becky - adopted Huck “Ducky” 11/8/09 (he was Buddy) and he has had an amazing life as a beloved family member. He turned 13 in June so is a slow senior but he’s living large where we now reside on the beach in Charleston SC😊 We are so grateful for all you do to save countless precious pups. I hope this email finds you well.
Words cannot express our appreciation for your kindness, Wendy

The Creator calls forth the roebuck kind

Genesis 1:24 And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so. 25 And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

At the command of the Almighty, He emerged...

Texas White tailed Deer Trophy Antler Buck Picture
The light that had broken forth at the Creator’s word was now sending golden shafts across the landscape. The face of the waters that the Spirit of God had moved upon were now blanketed in sunrise mists and vapors. And when those words of creative power were spoken, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind,” he arose; with a crown of dignity and strength upon his brow, inaugurated as one of the kings among beasts. He walked forth in pride and confidence to be named by Adam: chief of the Roebuck kind.

“Happy” was a fitting name for this sweet Husky/Akita mixed breed girl. She was surrendered by her owner to the animal shelter on August 27, 2019. Her owner said she was  great girl that could sit, stay, speak and lay down. She also loved riding in cars, no doubt putting her beautiful blue eyes out the window for the wind-in-the-face that all dogs love! She was already spayed and microchipped.
​
She got her outdoor glamour photo session on August 28, 2019 and was put on the animal shelter’s adoption website. Happy was rescued on 8/30/19 by Second Chance Habitat Rescue! Her freedom ride was sponsored by pledges to the rescue from Anne, Nancy​, Cindy and an Anonymous supporter.

Damon had a bit of a chop-job on his ears, but he wore them well. He was a stately and handsome looking Pitbull Terrier that was picked up stray by an animal control officer on August 27, 2019. The shelter was encouraged when the scanned him and found a microchip. But unfortunately, the woman registered on the chip said she gave him away and didn’t have the current owner’s information.

Damon, his real name was "Demon", but the shelter wasn’t about to post that, had his photography session on August 28, 2019. He was rescued on September 4, 2019 by Wags N Wiggles Rescue! He was sponsored by pledged donations to the rescue from Alice, Becky, Dana and Anne.
