As told by the rescue angels...

Emma was found as a stray and posted out to find her owner to no avail.  I decided to put her on my petfinder page to see about adopting her out.  I got an email from a lady in OH who told me it was her cousin's dog here in Goldsboro who is in the Military.  Contact the lady who lived a LONG way from where Emma was found.  She is a single mom in the military and had Emma as a puppy but didn't have time for her anymore and she kept getting out of the yard.  She relinquished Emma to me to find her a home.

 

Lola was found in the middle of the road as a stray not too far from where I live.  She was so dirty and covered in ticks.  Posted her everywhere and didn't find her owner either (thank god).  She did have to be treated for 2 weeks for E-Canis (tick born disease), but that was all.  She is about 4 or 5.

 

The 2 cats came out of an aweful situation of a woman who had 8 of them, all females, 2 dogs and lost her home.  Spent a couple of weeks in the house with no electricity before we found a place for all 8 of them to go.  Mia and Fergie were just 2 of them.  

 

June at 11th hour is the best.  They are a wonderful rescue and take on old or sick or heartworm positive animals and get them treated and great homes.  Thank you for being a part of this wonderful ending to these little guys.

Charlie was brought into the Pender Co Animal Shelter as an owner surrender. Its hard to think about why and how this gorgeous little fella could ever be turned over to a kill shelter, but this is Charlie's story before Eleventh Hour Rescue saved his life. Charlie was microchipped and not neutered. He is around 8 months old and we believe he was intended to be used as a hunting dog. But Charlie is way too sweet for this, we figure.

 

When I walked Charlie at the shelter, I immediately fell in love with him. He is sweet, calm, gentle and just loved attention. Thank Goodness Eleventh Hour Rescue was able to get him into their group. If not, Charlie could have been euthanized due to overcrowding at the shelter. Charlie is safe now thanks to Michele, Rich, June and Cindy & Art. Hats off to a great team!

Update 6/10/12 - Thank you everyone for each part to make this happen. Jax has a meet and greet tomorrow. Emma and Lola were such a hit at Pet Smart that they are staying at the center for potential adopters tomorrow. Some folks are planning to return with their dogs to see if one of the girls will be a good fit. Charlie is a mush and had a lot of attention, sure he will be a hit at adoptions tomorrow, thanks again. Forgot the cats, Mia is a little shy but Fergie has an approved family meeting her tomorrow. I will keep everyone posted.
