The little seniors in need

So I know I haven't written in a while.  Things took a turn for the worst this last year with health and the constant wave of dogs going in and out of the rescue.  We have had close to 150 dogs go through our doors this last year alone in 2015.  As a way to slow this down and take a much needed hiatus, we decided to revamp the rescue.  Instead of working with all breeds we have decided to start working solely with the Seniors (with and without special needs) and German Shepherd breeds.  This will narrow down what we take in immensely.  The seniors we do bring in will stay with us until they find homes of their own or pass.  They will never have to worry about being neglected or abandoned again. 

We started this process with 2 little seniors that I am excited for everyone to meet.  Hope is a 10 year old Chihuahua who was neglected by her previous owner.  Left to fend for herself on the streets, unknown if she just kept getting out or was purposely let out.  She made her way to the shelter multiple times, getting picked up by animal control.  Her human picked her up from the shelter multiple times and she would come right back after being saved once again from the streets.  The whole problem with this situation was she is deaf and blind.  This 10 year old escaped death by cars and other obstacles only by a miracle that is the shelter.  This is where we saw her, on November 11th, 2015 I opened my Facebook and saw this little seniors face.  I have to admit I fell in love instantly.  She came in along with our other senior on Saturday November 14th.  She is doing amazing and thriving. 

Mr. Monster is the other senior we pulled on November 11th 2015.  He was abandoned at his home along with a puppy after his family moved and left them there to fend for themselves.  This 15 year old ended up in the shelter along side his friend and sat there until he went into a foster home.  Of course his little friend got adopted because everyone wants the puppies.  Yet, Monster was not so lucky.  He came to us after we heard his story.  He is blind, has a heart murmur, was under weight, and suffering from an infection.  Poor guy was a mess.  It will take a while before he is 100% if he ever will get to that point.

I will keep you all updated on any more seniors that come in.  I will try to get some pictures on here of these guys (as soon as I figure out how to do so lol)
