HI
everyone, I know you heard about the transport and here is the end result.
Annabelle & Cappy reunited & living happily with the Parkers! These 2 came into
our care when their owner could no longer care for them & took them to a
shelter. Thanks to Rachel Palarca who went & sprung them, Connie Vice for
fostering Cappy & Claire Boone for fostering Annabelle.
You
can see how happy they are now!
Enjoy, Susan
Please click the link below to
see how happy they are in their new home:
 After
Cappy left for his forever home, Connie missed him so much that she asked if Sam
could come live with her. Sam came from the same shelter as Cappy & Annabelle &
is probably related in some way. He was fostered by Todd & Dawn Raines and is
now living with Connie Vice and has a new name, Rex!

I wanted to let
everyone know what has been going on in AL. I know that we haven’t
too many dogs posted this summer, so it may look like nothing is going on.
Generally summer is a dumping time for dogs, but we haven’t experienced that in
AL this year. GA & FL both had 5 dogs come in on one day last week!
But, there
is always lots going on behind the scenes! Below are some highlights:
 Sadie
and Lily were dumped at the shelter and Jan Savage drove up to get them and then
Bryan Whitehead fostered Lily & got Sadie started on her heartworm treatment
before she went to Phyllis Workman. Lily was adopted by a KY adopter that we
had been working with before she even made it to the website. Sadie was adopted
just last weekend by a couple who drove all the way from Virginia to
get her. Here is beautiful Sadie's picture.
 Patty
Howell alerted us to MJ when her owner turned her puppies into the shelter &
said he wanted to turn her in too. The shelter told him about ESRA & Patty took
it from there. Bill Arnold from Mississippi fostered her & took her
to Amelia Hudson’s vet to save money on her vetting. During surgery the vet
found mammary tumors that we hope are a result of not being able to nurse her
puppies. A couple from Illinois were planning to adopt her & this turn of
events didn’t deter them; they met Bill & MJ in Memphis today and MJ started her
journey to her new life in Illinois, drain tubes and all!
We
currently have one dog in ESRA’s care in AL and that is Belle who is
being fostered by Janet Jackson in GA where she is learning her puppy manners.
Belle is still interviewing folks for her perfect home.
We have 2
possible incoming 9 year old oti’s that Patty Howell alerted us about and Judie
Lemsky is working on.
 We
moved Dolly & Stretch from a shelter in West Memphis, AR to FL a few
weeks ago. These 2 dogs were so sweet and so scared and are making such
progress in foster care. This is Dolly's picture.
We have
been checking on Rascal who we found on Petfinder. He was in the
Montgomery shelter, so we were in touch with the shelter on a daily basis
to make sure he was safe. Happily, he was adopted from the shelter last
weekend!
We are
starting to get more applications which is a good thing. I know I will miss
someone, so I won’t try to list all the names, but lots of you have pitched in
and helped with these.
Now is the
perfect time to jump in if you’ve been thinking about helping and just weren’t
sure what to do. We always need folks do telephone interviews, vet reference
checks and home visits. All the applications need to be assigned and tracked.
We could really use help doing this and it is basically checking the yahoo
mailbox & keeping an excel spreadsheet. Millie & I can both be back up and help
you with this. We usually get one or two applications a week, so it isn’t that
burdensome. We also check Petfinder on a daily basis to see if there are any
springers in any local shelters. It would be great if someone would take on the
responsibility. It doesn’t take long and we could walk you through it. And of
course we never have enough foster homes and never know when we might need you.
We’ve been lucky that other states have been able to loan us foster homes
recently.
Please let
me know if you think you can help with anything. Thanks to all for everything
you do. I appreciate it so much.
