Hey Angie...go to petrefuge.com and check out Coral

[mugsy]

Angie...you GOTTA see Coral...an 11 week old Golden/Tree Walking Coonhound mix. If you go to www.petrefuge.com she is the newest addition to the shelter. You have to go to "our dogs" and then once you get to the dog of the week (Casper this week, who is just too darn cute for words too) and then "available dogs" and there she will be.

oh my goh
! i was looking through the dogs.. and Julius is beautiful!! his coloring are so unique! Coral is cute too!

[mugsy]

Julius is a pit mix and NO one has even glanced at him according to the director of the shelter. Wilma and Buffy are also pit mixes that no one has looked at. That is the shelter where we got Sophie. They are so nice. I wish we could take 3 more because all 3 would be coming to Fort Wayne this weekend, but alas...I think 15 is our limit.

What a wonerful shelter! I admire shelters that are no-kill, its a huge undertaking! I hope to run my own shelter some day. It's a wonderful service.

*GASP* Did I actually just hear MUGSY say she has reached her limit??? I bet that will change as soon as a sweet, wide-eyed puppy face in need shows up at her door

Just look at Tyson! His eyes are soooo sad. I wish I could take him Julius is gorgeous too. Ohhhhhhhh noooooooo, Maggie's story is so sad I want her too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH look at Sam!

I better stop. I do this to myself all the time and it breaks my heart Oh heck, I can never stop though!

I like Max. I shouldn't look at pictures of dogs in shelters, it's too tempting and I can't provide a home for another .

I was quite impressed with the quality of the pictures - a lot of shelters just don't seem to get it right but this site had beautiful clear pictures with great poses - I hope that brings in lots of future owners.

[sabies]

oh, I went back and looked again....all of them looking straight at me with those eyes just asking for a home!

[shais_mom]

They are all so precious! I could just take them all!

[Gio]

NO one has even glanced at him according

. This makes me so sad he's so beautiful, they all are. I'll just have to pray a little harder, I want them all to go to a nice home (of course I had a look at the cats too...)

There is nothing worse than a picture of a dog through the bars of a cage. It gives the impression that they are too vicious to take out of the cage to get a good picture. Whoever takes the pictures for this shelter does an awesome job. And with the time they take to get to know the dog's characteristics and include that type of info in a bio, it presents these animals as the dears that I am sure they are.

Of course it breaks my heart to see so many wonderful furkids without a home and family.

Her name is Gracie and she is in the Special Dog catagory. What a wonderful website. Mugsy, thanks for sharing it with us.

Oh Mugsy,

All these Pups are just Super!!! I liked Cotton,
Patrick, Otis & Wilma, and every other one there.
I'm trying to be understanding, but I can't get
around the idea of people moving anywhere that
the dog could not go with them. Except for an
older or ill person who is longer physically
capable of caring for an animal...Another thing
I thought about as I looked at these Precious
pups is, why would anyone actually "buy" a dog,
with all these cuties just waiting for homes.?
Great link Molly. Thanks. Liz.

Yes Molly that is a great link! What a nice website Pet Refuge has. I love looking at all the pictures and reading the stories. Thanks for sharing!!

Logan,

Gracie isn't at the shelter, she is being fostered, because I offered to take her because she has been there so long. Esther wrote back and told me that she is being very well taken care of and well loved at her foster home, which made me feel better. A lot of the dogs are actually in foster homes and the foster parents bring them to their adoption events that they hold all the time. It really is an awesome shelter....it's even run totally by volunteers. I will pass all your positive comments on to Esther, because I am constantly emailing her with Sophie updates.
