Happy Endings 2010
Guinness
|
Guinness
faced a grim future in the high kill pound because he was
heartworm positive. He bounced through the treatment Mosaic
Rescue provided and into the hearts of all his foster families.
This and his
ability to bound onto couches in a single leap earned him
the nickname
Super G. Guinness has now jumped into the home and hearts
of a dachshund loving couple with two other "wiener dogs".
Already his regal nature has earned him the title of Prince
von Guinness. We suspect he'll earn many more titles befitting
his special abilities and personality. |
Lexy
|
How could
it be that Lexy's people never came to claim her at the high
kill pound leaving her at risk there? We'll never know why
but we're sure glad we were able to get her out of there
and into care. Lexy will never have
to worry about being unwanted again. She's
been welcomed into a family who adopted
their first "Mosaic" in 2006. Jasper (formerly Pippa) seems
delighted to have a little sister to play with and she'll
no doubt be showing the new pup, now called Kasey,
the ropes. She may even share her role as mascot of the
boys' baseball teams. |
Indy
|
This
sweet terrier spent four months in the high kill pound, just
one of many unwanted dogs who face death there. Indy was
one of the lucky ones we were able to rescue. He's a delightful
boy who charms everyone he meets. Indy has now charmed his
way into a wonderful forever home where he'll be the centre
of
attention and get all the love he could ever want. Both his
parents have pet friendly employers so he goes to
work every day with one of them. It's such fun for this social
boy. |
Chester

Chester "Before"

Chester
"After"
|
Chester
was in terrible condition when he arrived at the high kill
pound. He was matted to the skin, horribly stinky and raw
from flea allergies. He sat there for two months with no
potential for adoption and no hope but for rescue. Chester's
luck changed dramatically when we pulled him from the
shelter, placed him in a loving foster home and got him
the attention he
so
desperately needed.
After
many baths, professional grooming and medications Chester
looked and felt like a different dog. He was ready for a
wonderful forever home and he's certainly found it. As
with all good adoptions it is a win win
situation. Chester has a new mom to love and cherish him
and Chester helps to fill a big hole in the heart and
home of his mom after the death of Abby,
another precious "Mosaic". |
Harlan
|
Harlan
was just another common hound mix at the high kill pound
and as such at risk of being put down. Our rescue
partners recognized that
there was something special about him and Mosaic Rescue agreed
to take him. We're sure glad we did. Harlan Pepper (named
after the character in the movie "Best in Show") is a loveable
gentle boy who melts hearts wherever he goes. He now has
a family who consider him a treasure. They've
had many dogs in the past but Harlan is the first who has
been allowed on the furniture. We're happy he's found his
way onto the couch and into the hearts of his forever family. |
Bailey
|
It is
hard to imagine that a gorgeous dog like Bailey could be
at risk in a shelter. She was in fact adopted but then returned
when the people learned she had heartworm. Treatment is very
effective but expensive and few want to spend the money
on a shelter dog so her only hope was rescue. Mosaic Rescue
was happy to help such a sweet girl. Bailey received the
treatment she needed to get her healthy and has now
gone to her forever family who absolutely adore her.
She loves to hang out with her dad in his home office
and is getting her sea legs in preparation for lots of travel
on her family's boat this summer. She's got a new name too,
Belle to reflect her southern heritage and
charm. |
Skye
|
Skye
suffered some trauma in the past that resulted in a broken
rib, physical scars and a broken tail but didn't scar her
loving personality. She didn't have a chance at the shelter
because she was heartworm positive but once treated she was
ready for her forever home here. Skye now has doting parents
who are looking forward to giving her lots of love, attention,
exercise and training, not to mention squeaky toys! She's
a lucky girl. |
Toby
|
Toby
was an owner surrender at the pound though we can't imagine
it could have been through any fault of his own. Although
he is adorable he tested positive for heartworm and was at
great risk there. Mosaic Rescue made sure he got the treatment
he needed to rid him of the parasite and be able to come
to BC. Toby now has a wonderful new work from home dad, a
big canine sister and a new name, Cooper.
Watch for him at Dallas Rd. where his family are "regulars". |
Chip
|
This
little guy was literally a bag of bones and fur when we pulled
him from the shelter. He weighed less than 5 lbs (half his
ideal weight) and was so terrified that no one could get
near him. He would not have survived there. What a transformation
once Chip got into foster care. He not only put on weight
but his sweet nature came through in spades. It's hard to
find a more cuddly loving dog. Chip has now found his forever
home with family who adore him and regular canine visitors
who he thinks come just to play with him. Life doesn't get
much better than this. |
Lilly
 |
Lilly
is another example of a super sweet dog who would have been
put down at the shelter because no one wanted to adopt a
heartworm positive dog and pay for the treatment she needed
to get her healthy. All that is behind her now and so is
any worry about the future. Stella as she is now known has
jumped into the hearts of her new family and will be a constant
companion for them. This lucky girl won't have to deal with
our BC winters either as she'll be spending half the year
at her second home in Mexico. |
Mickey
|
We can't
understand how this little guy could have been given up at
least twice in the past and then endured four months at a
high kill pound all by himself in a kennel. Mickey is such
a social boy and loves other dogs as well as people. It took
a while to find just the right forever home for Mick but
we're sure he's there now. His "parents" are retired
so he gets to hang out full time with them as well as his
new little
canine brother. He's already enjoying being part of the pack
which includes extended family and furkids. |
Ginger
 |
Ginger
was a little brown dog who had no chance of survival at the
high kill pound except for rescue. She had two major strikes
against her. She was pregnant, likely with pups too big for
her to deliver naturally and she was heartworm positive. Ginger
was spayed and received the medical treatment she needed
and has now found a wonderful forever home. She has
two
young
children
to help raise and an at home mom to hang out with when the
kids are at school. Her new mom can't believe how well behaved
this girl is and
how
well she has fit into their family. |
Cleo
 |
This
pretty girl was terribly skinny when she landed as a stray
at the pound. Someone had cared enough about her to have
her
spayed
in the past (a rarity in Arkansas it seems) but no one claimed
her at the shelter and she needed our help. Her southern
foster family got her used to being in a family again and
filled out her ribs a bit. Now that Cleo has found her forever
family here she never has to worry about being neglected
or unwanted again. She has a canine sister who welcomed her
with open paws and parents who already treasure her as part
of the family. |
Brogan
|
If ever
there was a classic "mosaic" Brogan is it. Dogs like him
are so easily overlooked at a high kill facility no matter
how wonderful a personality they might have. This lucky boy
now has a chance to delight his new family by being himself.
He has a young boy to entertain, another dog and a cat to
play with and at home parents who will make sure he's an
active happy member of the family. Life doesn't get much
better than this. |
Fergus
 |
This
adorable little ragamuffin was passed over in the shelter
by potential adopters for far too long because he was heartworm
positive.
His only
hope
was rescue and we were happy to help and provide the treatment
he needed. Fergus is now healthy and celebrating his
new life with his wonderful forever family who adore him.
He's already hanging
out on the couch between walks and other outings during the
day, warming the bed at night and bringing smiles all round. |
Casey
|
Casey
was owner surrendered to the high kill pound but we can't
imagine that it was through any fault of his own as he is
such a sweet boy. He doesn't have to worry about ever being
given up again as he has a new mom who is absolutely devoted
to him. Sunny as he is now known has settled
in beautifully on the couch in front of the TV at home and
has become an expert on all things Olympic. He seems to have
embraced his new nationality too. His mom reports that when
Canada does well he rolls
over
on his back and punches the air with his paws. |
Brooklyn
|
This
"Black Beauty" came to us a scared little dog who unfortunately
then got bounced around far too much through no fault of
her own. Once settled in her foster home her true personality
started to show through and now that she has finally found
her forever home she is blossoming. Brooklyn will
be a constant companion for her new dad, running with him,
playing
with
him and even going to work with him. No doubt she'll use
her persuasive Border Collie ways to train everyone at the
office to dispense treats when asked. |
Buzz
 |
This
little guy slid under the radar at the shelter for months
before he came to our attention and we were able to get him
out. Once he got into foster care and worked off some of
the pent up energy he'd built up we discovered what a wonderful
loving friendly guy he was. He now has a forever family here
where he will be a constant companion and the home based
business mascot. Watch for him at the local rowing regattas. |
Emmy
 |
Emmy
was picked up at a Wal-Mart parking lot as a stray puppy,
probably dumped. At the time she was about 3 months old
and just 4 lbs. She was malnourished and covered in fleas. She
began to thrive only once she got into foster care and by the
time she arrived in BC she was a healthy happy girl. She's
even happier now that she's found her forever family who adore
her. She has kids to play with, doting parents and many dog
loving friends and relatives to admire her. |
Buffy
 |
Buffy
was a well cared for and likely loved older dog whose life
was turned upside down when her elderly owner died. It got
worse when a relative surrendered her to a high kill pound
in the south. Buffy now has a wonderful forever home here
and never has to worry about being abandoned again but many
dogs
are
not
so
lucky.
Please
don't let this happen to your pets. Make arrangements for
them should anything happen to you just as you would with
your other dependents. |
