The Weekly Monster

by admin on October 29, 2009

Name: Sassy
Owner: Jamie
Age: 2 years old
Breed: Greyhound/Husky Cross
Details: Another casualty of working at an animals shelter – Sassy was adopted from the shelter I was working at last winter. She has been adopted out once and brought back because she threw up. She spent over a month from then waiting at the shelter for another chance at a good home. Nobody ever came for her and she was withering away to nothing! I just had to bring this bag of bones home and show her what a real family is like. She’s been with us ever since, has gained weight, and doesn’t hide behind the couch anymore! She’s healthy, thriving, and confident now.

The Weekly Monster

Name: Princess
Owner: Jamie
Age: 9 years old (or older)
Breed: Shepherd/Golden Retriever Croos
Details: Princess became a part of my furry family 3 years ago when I adopted her from an animal shelter. She had been at the shelter for almost a year and when I heard about her through the grape-vine at work (I was working at another animal shelter) I couldn’t let her spend one more night without a real home! She’s been my big suck ever since. And to add more to her happy ending, she was the “Canine Educator” at a shelter I was working at as the Volunteer and Humane Education coordinator. Life couldn’t get any better for Princess because she loves to be pet – even by mobs of kids! .. .and trust me, she saw a lot of “mobs” lol.
