Lilli Bear is a 3-year old Pekingese mix that came to GADAB in November because of an animal abuse charge. She has a blue eye and a brown eye and a condition with her mouth that keeps her tongue hanging out at all times. She was very scared when she first arrived but has warmed up to us. She loves going out to the training yard and getting her belly scratched.
I received word today that Franco's been adopted. This is terrific news and something we see all too little of at Give a Dog a Bone. His owner has given up all claims on him and he's been taken in by a nice young couple who has a soft spot for older dogs. Good luck to you, Franco
Water Water Everwhere...and a little drool, too
Murphy is a decidedly young-for-his age 12-year old English Bulldog who came to GADAB in early 2006 as part of a cruelty case. Murphy arrived at the shelter with his friend, Seymour, a 12-year old Yorkie and yes, they made quite a pair. Murphy has a touch of arthritis but that doesn't stop him from using our agility course (he loves the seesaw) or from breaking into short sprints when he's outside. Murphy's happiest when he wears his red bandana and people tell him he's handsome.
Franco's what we call a frequent flyer at GADAB. He's been with us repeatedly since 2004 because his owner abandons him. He's an 11-year old Cocker Spaniel who's almost entirely deaf and suffers from horrible warts on his feet. He's still a sweet old guy, though, who really likes nothing more than taking short breaks outside and getting scratched behind the ears. We're hoping that this time around things will change for Franco and he won't have to go back to his owner.
Good luck today, Minna and Momo!!
Imagine what he does with his food
