Rescue Angels

 Angel

On my quest to find another dog for our family, I’ve met the most AMAZING people.  Rescue Angels, I’m calling you.  You work so hard to save an endless number of animals, and your courage and faith amaze me.  What surprises me the most is how many of you there are!

From Jean’s sister, who helps in the Tracy, CA area ( Animal Rescue in Tracy)  to Laila who put me in contact with the people at Animal Compassion Team  in Fresno, CA, I am in awe of the network of people who help homeless animals.  I learned of a group who help get shelter animals adopted by posting Instagram pictures.  I found out that the Fresno area has so many small dogs, they work with other rescues and fly them to parts of the country where small dogs are scarce.  The things you all do to help are wonderful.

It was when I came upon the Toy Fox Terrier Rescue on Facebook that I found the dog for us.  When I saw her, I knew I had to have her.  Her name is Milkshake and she joined our family last week.   She’s made herself right at home and captured all of our hearts.

Thanks to Leslie and Patty from the rescue, and Carol who fostered Milkshake with such love, I know we’ve made the right match.  She’s just so sweet!

 She spends the day in the studio, right along with Chelsea.

And at night while we watch TV, she cuddles in the pillows.

She turned 11 at the end of September and she’s getting a little gray, but I happen to love the color.

She’s a rescue dog who has a new home.  We love her like she’s been here forever!

A thank you goes out to each and every one of you who help these animals find new homes.  Thank you to those who foster, those who transport, and those who work to coordinate.  Without you there wouldn’t be cuddles on the couch, or happy endings.

Hugs,

Anne

    I saw this little story and wanted to let you know I also just adopted a 10 yr old little maltese male My vets office does rescues and they couldn’t find a home for Nicholas because he was 10 yrs old They gave him to me They knew I was looking for another companion and I had lost my heart dog almost 2 yrs before a 145 lb Harlequin Great Dane. Anyway Nicholas is fantastic he came already house trained he is deaf and partially blind but soooo sweet Those people who decided against adopting him because he was 10 yrs old don’t know what they have lost

    Milkshake looks very similar to my little Enos, Enos is 14 years old and very very gray. He tucks his nose under in his babybed when snoozing just like your photo of Milkshake. Enos is a
    rat terrier/jack russel mix, he is small, but has long legs.
    These are very sweet loving dogs.
    I am glad you made the rescue.
