Hello Everyone,
We have a very sweet Bloodhound by the name of Happy here who was turned over to the shelter by her owners because she kept running off. Her owners would let her out but not stay with her and she lived just off rt. 404. Happy is 6 ½ years old and weighs about 140 pounds and need to go on a diet! She is very sweet and did great when she met dogs and cats. She is very slightly hw positive but we consulted the vet and they are saying to just go ahead and treat her with a hw pill every month. When the one officer was evaluating her for food issues he had a problem with her, she growled a bit but when the other officer went in to assist, they didn't have any issues at all with her. Happy is a very sweet girl who we're trying to get out of this shelter! Please someone help her out and us by pulling her! Thank you so much!

NEED A COMPANION? ADOPT ONE WHO IS SPECIAL...IT'S LESS ADOPTABLE PET WEEK!

Black dogs and cats, old ones, the plain janes, the ones with special needs - like blindness, tripods, chronic disease, maybe a recent injury that needs healing and care with a special person like you...they are at your shelters and animal controls and they are waiting for you.

They are waiting for you because they need you and in return they will give you unconditional love for their lifetime. Why are you waiting?

My Granny Annie is looking down from the Rainbow Bridge telling me we needed each other.

She was right. She was an ugly, old, three-legged lady,partially deaf, partially blind Boston with a heart of gold. She gave me her unflagging good humor and undying love for a year and a half.

It was the right decision. She was joy.

MEET THE GREY MUZZLE ORGANIZATION

I didn't know they existed before today, and I found it searching for an old lost friend in Maine. Then I saw her name and that of Abby, a rescue she adopted, and looked at the picture of Abby. So my search for her is half done. Poor little Abby. Barbara was thrilled when she got her. Barbara was the prime reason I still have my Buffy, a little blond waif waiting to die in a high-kill Los Angeles shelter, years ago. She pulled Buffy, had her spayed (the rules), waited until she
recovered from that and shipped her to me by Delta Dash service. Buffy is completely blind now, still loves to be dirty and stinky, and as old as dirt, but she's still not ready to leave yet.

I hope you always consider adopting the older dog. They have so much to give you. If you are older, like me, take them in if you can. Their lifespan is limited, and they don't deserve the confusion and fear of the short shelter life that will probably lead to their deaths.

You may only have them for a little while, but that time will be precious to you both. See how Grannie Annie enriched my life. Just use the search bar above.

Meanwhile, I will post my stinky little Bufffy's photo (on a clean day, with Pinkus, who loved all the dogs who is gone now), and give her a badly needed bath.

LET'S DO SOMETHING NICE FOR AN AGING BLOODHOUND GIRL

And find her a home with a family who won't leave her alone during the day. She is getting bored out in the yard. She is 10 years old, spayed, on heartworm prevention and flea meds.

Her current family has had her for four years.

Perhaps it's a case of "just no time".

But I know you loved my Granny Annie, and this old girl needs a home, too.

She is a purebred bloodhound, and my friend, Sarah of Friends of Bay County Animal Rescue, says she's an awesome dog.

Doesn't someone want a beautiful bloodhound? They are wonderful companions. I've had four in my life - two were rescues. They are considered a giant breed and have a limited lifespan.

Please consider adopting Ginger, or helping foster her.

She is in Panama City, FL.

Granny Annie...update on her 5 minutes of fame...

Got word this morning that both Dogster.com and Petfinder.com have picked up Granny Annie's
story and have mentioned it in their blogs with links to Wayne Pacelle's HSUS blog.

Here are the links...
