Before and After Stories

Borris: Many of you see all the before and afters that are physically hard on our fosters. Now we introduce Borris who was emotionally traumatized for reasons unknown to us. He was found in a shelter along side his brother. They were both scared and antisocial we were not sure if they could be rehabilitated. His brother Horris blossomed much more quickly and was adopted. Borris was left alone and scared and placed in another foster home. He would hide and stiffen up at any sign of affection or touch. Slowly and we mean slowly he started to improve but still wasn't comfortable with much of anything. Most people look for the energetic friendly pup but Borris was different. We knew he needed a special guardian angel who would take him in and really understand who he was.
Along came Mrs. Judy Bowman! She was a blessing sent to us looking for a pup that needed a little extra love and care. We explained Borris' quirks and she was ready with open arms to give Borris a chance. Borris made a trip to Kingsville and met his new mommy. We believe they were meant to be and Judy thinks the same.
But wait there is more..... A malnourished greyhound showed up in the shelter months later and knowing that Judy had experience with the breed we contacted her. We were hoping she could get him into a breed specific rescue but no Judy was not having that! She wanted to adopt him. From our experience with Judy we knew Mr. Greyhound would be living the life. So off he went to Kingsville to start a new chapter of nothing but being spoiled.
 Judy now has Angus (formerly Borris) and Finn (formerly Mr. Greyhound)! They are both thriving and have the best home they could possibly dream of. Thank you Judy you are a savior and rock to these two! Angus is running free now with less anxiety and Finn has definitely gotten to a healthy weight with their new mommy on the watch.

Casper

Casper came to us with horrible wounds all over his body. He was most likely attacked by another dog.  Not unusual for intact (not neutered) dogs fighting over a female in heat. Unfixed dogs (male and female) can pick up scents for 2 miles.  They will dig under fences, go through walls, to get to another dog. Male dogs are often killed fighting over a female. Females often try to get away from male dogs so it is a bad situation for male and female dogs. Casper was on the losing end of a dog fight. Like others, he could have died. Lots of medical attention and TLC allowed him to trust again. He recovered months later and found his forever home. 
****** Warning Graphic Images******
 Casper was immediately taken to the veterinarian to treat his wounds.  This is BEFORE.
 Months later Casper made a full recovery and found his forever home.
