Norman, is 17 and has been here the longest out of the bunch! Norman recently went completely blind and is doing ok with the new adjustment as long as mom stays close!  He came to us from a shelter in Columbus.  He was found as a stray and very emaciated.  He has put on weight and loves it when it is dinner time! In fact, he wakes us up every day by 6:30 am to eat by barking at us until he gets his breakfast!  He is on a daily pain med and also has trouble with his eyes, where blood sometimes gathers.  He also suffers from sundowners syndrome.  CBD does help and gives him good rest at night! 

Bella is around 11 years old and she was rescued as a puppy from a junkyard!  She was a puppy and was the last of her litter and we brought her home!  She is one of our most healthy babies!  She recently had a dental and got a clean bill of dental health.  Bella prefers to cuddle with mom and just take long naps!  She is terrified of thunder, fireworks, and storms so we do a lot for her to keep her comfortable when it rains!  CBD, Thundershirts and even enrichment activities!

Izabells is 12. Her owner passed away and we saw her photo on social media and we knew in our hearts that she should be a part of our family.  She was born without front legs and uses her wheels to get out around when we are outside.  In the house, she gets around kinda like an inchworm.  She is very sassy but is a total momma's girl!  Healthwise she is pretty healthy except for her knee caps that don't always stay in place and that seems to be getting worse.  We are hoping that some meds will give her some relief. 

One of our youngest babies at 7 years old!

Vita was rescued from the side of the road by momma herself when she was an Animal Control Officer!  She was only 4 months old and 2 lbs because she was extremely emaciated and her organs were starting to shut down.  She was skin and bones when she arrived.  She was rushed to a vet and was in liver failure and we were not sure she would survive the night.  After many sleepless nights, she took a turn for the better and started getting stronger!  She is now a sassy little nugget and is best friends with Kingston and Cheeze! 

Our Largest Baby!

Cheeze is 13 years young! Cheeze is our cancer survivor!  He recently underwent surgery to remove a cancerous tumor and he did great! Cheeze came to us at a young age.  He was kept in an abandoned house with 2 other dogs for almost a year.  Mom finally was able to get me out!  He was emaciated and not healthy at all.  We helped him gain weight and learn that people were not scary.  Cheeze now helps all the pups that come to our house learn to run the yard, potty and play outside!   He is a super sweet boy! 

Kingston was an original foster of ours.  He came to us terrified and untrustworthy of people to the point where we could barely touch him.  He was adopted out to someone that wasn't ready for a small dog with some issues so he was returned to us.  He regressed to the point of no touching again after this and we promised him that we wouldn't change his world again and that he would stay and feel safe with us.  He is the most friendly people lover now!  He just loves everyone! Kingston is around 9 years old.

Our Furriest Baby!

 Marley came to us from one of our favorite large breed rescues and she is 9!  Marley has a partially collapsed trachea but she is fairly healthy otherwise except for some hip and joint issues in her back legs.  She did have mammary tumors removed that we hope will not return but for now she has a spunky attitude and loves to chase the cat!  She loves people so very much and we are hoping to get her certified to be a Therapy pup to go visit kids and seniors!  She loves to be petted! 

Trixie is around 9-10.  She came out of a chihuahua hoarding situation where 17 chi's were removed. Many had leg issues but hers were the most severe so we got the call.  Trixie walks on her front paws only! Completely vertical!  She can kind of army crawl a bit to get around the house.  She is still very scared of people as we had to be the first people to give her attention and pets.  She does have wheels that we are working on getting her to use but she struggles right now. 

Neena is around 7-8 and has IVDD and can not use her back legs. She was a shelter for almost a year! The Shelter staff was amazing and gave her everything she needed to get a good start! We are losing a little weight and seeing our physical therapist too!  She has some deep sensation in her piggies so maybe she will gain some strength, but for now, we are ordering her some wheels and staying snuggling in drag bags!

Benny was rescued at 2 months old unable to walk.  He can get around but he can not use his back legs much at all.  After a surgery consult it was determined that his pelvis was crushed either at birth or shortly after.  There isn't much to repair inside that little body.  He is going to stay with us until it is too hard for him to get around.  For now is he playful and loving life!

Shadow was rescued from unhealthy living conditions after spending 12 years neglected. His fear of the world made him extremely aggressive and we were all unsure if the damage he'd suffered through could be undone.  Momma has gained his trust and as he fell in love we fell in love with him.  Welcome to the best life little wee man.

Lun ais our youngest!  She was shot at 4 months old and was partially paralyzed.  Her feet were not protected and needed to be partially amputated.   Momma flew to Texas to bring her up here after her amputation.  Luna needed to see an orthopedic specialist as her nubs didn't heal as they should have and she had to have more amputated off.  She loves to play and loves life!

Rosie is around 12-14.  She was found as a stray out in Ohio. We were asked to help save her.  She is our house elf!  She is blind and just loves snuggling in bed all day and waiting for dinner to arrive.  She has a blood disorder and is on lifelong meds to thin her blood.  She is sweet and so very loved.

Tiny is our youngest here at the sanctuary.  She is only about a year and a half old.  She has hydrocephalus (swelling of the brain).  She does well with her 3 lifelong medications to help control the swelling, but that can change at any moment with these fragile dogs.  She walks in circles alot and gets disoriented but loves a good chew toy! 

Suzie is an old lady who came from our fellow rescuers in Florida.  She is blind and sassy!  She loves to snuggle in a bed all day and hide from mom in random places!  She is on daily eye medications and we are closely watching her liver values as she is new to us and we noticed some changes in bloodwork already.
