Let's Save Nancy!

Meet Nancy, little lady blue eye. Nancy has been on the streets her entire life. She is approx. 35 lb Shepherd/Husky mix (we think). She is probably a little over a year old. She is so sweet. She wants so badly to come in the car with us when we go to feed the dogs. She chases PJ's car every day. You can tell she knows that there is a better life out there for her. It is so sad to see her in the the rear view mirror. We need a foster for Nancy. Although she looks fairly healthy here and is doing ok on the streets, there are so many times that we want to rescue a dog and the next day they are no longer around. There is so much that happens in East St. Louis to these dogs. I just hope that we are able to find a foster home for Nancy before she falls victim to the cruel streets of East St. Louis. She gets along well with other dogs and is so incredibly sweet to humans. We think that Nancy will get adopted very quickly. These pictures do not do her justice. That blue eye is crystal clear. It is so cool looking! Please help Nancy!


UPDATE: Nancy has been rescued by our wonderful foster Melissa Weingart. Nancy has heartworm, but will be ready for adoption after her 6 week treatment. Thanks to everyone who cared about this lovely lady.

Bowser



Bowser was returned to us after being adopted out as a puppy and living in his home for three years. His person came down with Lou Gehrig's Disease and is no longer able to care for him. Unfortunately, before being returned to us, he ended up at animal control for 9 days. Luckily, they finally checked to see if he had a microchip and we were called to rescue him. When I went to pick up Bowser, I asked when the last time he had gone potty was, and they said, "I dunno. They usually just go in their runs." Nine days. That poor dog had not seen outside for nine days. Thankfully he is safe now, and is in his new and loving foster home, who just happens to be our photographer extraordinaire, David Carlyon, which is why his photos are so fabulous. Not to mention that Bowser is just an all around photogenic guy. He is a great dog; super sweet and lovey. We are sure that Bowser is going to find his final forever home on this second time around.
