My name is Gemma (like “gem”) and I am one miraculously lucky and amazing pup! Quick Facts: Breed: Lab mix Gender: Female Age: 6 months Size: 30 lbs Good with… Dogs? Yes! Cats? Yes! Kids? 12+ years History On July 4th of this year, I was a homeless puppy in rural KY. One night, I ran across a rural road and was hit head on by a car doing 60+ miles an hour, ending up being lodged in the grille of the car that hit me (check out that crazy photo and get the whole story). Worst day of my life, right? Nope! Sort of the best day, because that is the day that I went from being a lost, starving, scared and homeless little puppy, to having all sorts of wonderful rescue people and doctors and volunteers and donors and pilots, all wanting to help me! Totally amazing! To…

Adopted: Wally

Quick Facts: Breed: Black Lab/Border Collie Mix Gender: Male, neutered Age: 8 years old Size: 50 pounds Good with… Dogs? Sorry, no! Cats? Sorry, no! Kids? Yes, 12+ Hi! My name is Wally, and I am a ridiculously happy, silly, fun loving 8 year old neutered male Black Lab Mix! History and Why I am looking for a new home I was picked up as a stray when I was about a year old, by a local shelter that had no facilities. All of us shelter dogs were chained up to a dog house with tons of food and water. That was the best they could do, and I appreciated their efforts, but it was incredibly cold outside, all through the winter. I was very confused and sad, and it was super hard for a young, athletic and super affectionate dog like me to be chained up 24/7. I need…

Yes, 12+ History I have had it rough! I was a 24/7 chained out dog, without reasonable shelter, all through the frigid NY winters. My current guardians saw me standing outside on an exceptionally freezing night (there were times when it was -35 degrees wind chill!) and decided to go talk to the people who owned me. Turns out they didn’t care about me one way or another, and were more than happy to let these nice strangers take me off their hands. Which they did! Amazing!! No more lonely outside life, no more freezing cold with no way to get warm, no more hunger…

My friend (another Min Pin) and I landed in a crowded shelter in California. We’re both awesome pooches, but since we were both older dogs, the shelter was going to euthanize us (they were extremely overcrowded). But miracle of miracles, one of the shelter donors happened to love Min Pins and thought we were awesome, and after extensive searching found out that there was a Min Pin fanatic at a shelter in KY, and arranged to fly us out to that shelter where we would have a chance at finding rescue or an adopter!! We were there for a little while (we…

Yes, see below Background: I came in as a stray to a very overcrowded, high-kill shelter in Tennessee, where I was going to be put to sleep because I had heartworms. This was a totally curable illness, not contagious, but sometimes in these shelters it’s “one strike and you’re out.” Lucky for me, they said I was just too special and one of their trainers took me under her wing so I could get treatment (I’m all better now!), and then helped get me into a rockin’ CDR foster home! Personality: If you’re looking for a perfectly mellow, gentlemanly dog, look no further than me. I am a…
