Yummy Munchies

I have had lots of time on my hand while I have been living in Florida during the rainy season. I have recently been updating my dogs list of favorite foods and treats and have added some amazing new delish things to that list. My dogs aren't fans of wheat or any yucky stuff like that so that stuff stays far away from my kitchen. Lots of organic quinoa and organic meats are what they like best. If its not good enough for me to eat they wont touch it. If anyone would like to try some freebies let me know... I have more then enough to go around. As always they are human tested and dog approved. Munch on doggies, munch on!

Carbon Pawprints...

I was reading an article on one of my favorite websites, http://dognewsdaily.com/, and they opened my eyes to some neat things.  So I am not one of those hard-core environmentalists, they mentioned, but I would like to think I do my part to make the word a better and healthier place for me and my pets.  Some people will say that being a pet owner is hard on the environment, obviously we arent going to give up our furbabies but maybe we can make them a little more eco friendly.  Here are a few tips I found.

- Feeding them organic foods and locally made and packaged food helps dramatically.  Support companies that use recycled packaging or packaging that is environmentally friendly. 

- Everyone poops!  Make sure to scoop the poop using environmentally friendly packaging and compost the poop.   Sounds kinda gross but you should try it.  Magical things happen in that compost pile.

- Use no toxic shampoos and other doggie products on your pooches.  All this stuff runs into our rivers so we should think about what is in the products.

- Dogs like to take their owners on walks.  Try walking instead of driving everywhere, especially ifs its only a few miles away.

Lilly Needs Your Help

Lilly is heartworm positive.  We are so low on funds we are having a hard time paying for her treatment.  We are not going to give up on her and she could use all the help she can get.   If you would like to donate to her treatment she would be very appreciative.  You can click here to do so.   Just remember we are 501(c)(3) so your donation could be tax deductible, it's really a win win situation. 

Are you ready for a lifetime of love? If so, you’ve found the right Gal! My name is Lilly, but my foster mom calls me Lill-a-Belle. I’ve had a pretty full life for such a young girl…but let’s save that for later because I’d rather talk about ME ME ME ME!

I am an AWESOME dog!
I am a pure bred All American Shelter Dog!

I get along well with the other four dogs in the house and am doing great with the cats. I don’t know they are itty bitty, so I may need supervision at first!

I am a calm, gentle natured young girl (just about two) and I am happy just to lie at your feet while you cook or rest my head in your lap while you are reading a book. I’m not a complete sack of lazy….I love to play outside. I’m not much on playing fetch, I mean, after all, if you wanted it, why did you throw it? But I love to play “JUMP”. Just hold a toy high in the air and I will jump all the way up there and get it. I like playing “TUG” too!

I am everything you would expect from a lil Southern (Lill-a-)Belle like myself:
I am potty trained and crate trained
I don’t chew or dig or destroy anything
I smell heavenly (baths are ok with me though)
I walk well on a leash and know sit and shake.
I take a tooth brushing well and you can clean my ears without a fuss
I have finally mastered eating off a spoon! Oh the delightful treats I get
from a spoon!
I do not climb fences and I have been taught to sit at a gate or
door until invited (though sometimes I get a little bit excited
and forget what I have learned).
Nail trimming? No trouble there either
I don’t pay much attention to chickens, but squirrels are another story!

My foster mom feeds me the best of treats, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots….all fresh from the garden and I love them. It helps me keep this girlish figure of mine…um, what? Oh, okay Mom. Hey, Mom says she’d like to say a few things, so I’ll hand over the keyboard to her. Hope to see you soon!
Lill-a-Belle is a super good dog. She’s calm natured and great in the house. She is big and clumsy walking on a leash, but she is very polite and has great house manners. She never barks and never begs for food. I can’t imagine the folks that dumped her at MCAC in Georgia! They obviously trained her (and bred her) but then dumped her. Through the miracle of Facebook and crossposting, an adopter was found on her “last day” but sadly, she backed out. The woman whom had arranged all the transport for Lilly decided to rescue her for herself (except she was in Texas and Lilly was in Georgia and she had to be saved NOW)….so, one flight later, she was here in South Carolina, thanks to another miracle, Pilots N Paws (www.pilotsnpaws.com).

So, there’s nothing flashy about Lilly, but she proves to be ALL dog. Deeply intone to the humans around her and a true Queen. She brings a bunch of truth to the very wise saying “Honey, love ain’t always fireworks and big bangs, sometimes it just slips thru the back door and you never saw a thing til it was sitting at your kitchen table”. She is perfect for person or family seeking to add a companion that will blend in quickly and behave well.

Gace Sure Lucked Out

When we pulled Grace we realized she was heartworm positive.  Unfortunately this has been happening a lot with the dogs we are pulling.  It doesn't deter us but it makes things very difficult, especially trying to pay back medical bills.  Grace's foster grandma fell in love with her on first sight.  She has decided to adopt her and we could not be happier.  Grace even gets manicures and pedicures now, talk about coming a long way from her shelter days. 

Delilah Has A Furever Home

Delilah was rescued in South Carolina and she has now found herself an amazing home near by.  Thanks to her foster home we were able to pull her from a high kill shelter.  It is because of our foster homes that we are able to do what we do.  Thanks everyone involved in saving Delilah, especially her amazing foster home. 

The Goegeous Bella Is Now A California Girl

We don't usually do out of state adoptions but we made an exception this time.   Bella's new mom stumbled upon her at an adoption event.  After spending the week with her she knew it was meant to be.  Bella is now in her forever home being spoiled rotten like she deserves. 

Mr Benji Broke His Leg

Benji was so excited to see his foster mom one morning he jumped and broke his little leg.   He unfortunately had to endure surgery but he is healing wonderfully.   He went to an adoption even today and the vet said he will be able to have his cast taken off in a week or so.   Once we know he is ok he will be available for adoption.  Benji is located in Houston, TX.
