A Temporary Home, Until Their New Forever Home is Found.



NEW ARRIVALS AT H.E.A.R.

Photobucket

Daisy and her puppies (4) were abandoned and left to fin for themselves in Madison. She had 5 puppies but one
passed away from the cold nights. This is a picture of her with her puppies in a box after being rescued. She is a
Pit Bull mix and so her puppies also look like they have Pit Bull in them. The puppies look about a month old
(todays date March 9, 2010) and will be ready for adoption in a couple of weeks. They are all black and some have
white spots n strips on them. They are all well mannered and can be handled.

As to Daisy, she is White in color with brindle color spots all around her. She has a wonderful tempermint and sorta
looks like the Spanky and Our Gang Dog who's name was (Pete). Paint a circle around her eye and they could be twins.

Photobucket

I will post more pictures later as they settle in to their new surroundings.

Unfortunately our funds are tapped and they will need shots, check-ups and spaying & neutering. If you would like
to help care for the puppies financially, please click the Donation button below so Daisy and her Puppies get the care they need.

PLEASE NOTE: If Daisy would of been picked up by Metro Animal Control they would of all been euthanized simply for
being a Pit Bull. Because we saved her, she and her puppies will now have a chance at finding a new forever home.

Everyone is Settling in and Their Personalities are Starting to Come Out.
They have a Whole Room to Themselves.

I THINK THEY KNOW THEY ARE SAFE



MEET BUCK

THIS IS WHAT H.E.A.R. IS ALL ABOUT

Buck was Rescued off the Streets of Nashville. He was left and abandoned from a former family who lost their home.
Buck was on the Streets for about 3 months from what neighbors told me. As you can see he wasn't in the best of shape.
He had lost most of his hair from Mange and was infested with fleas, nobody would touch him or help him. The Pound was
called numerous times to come and catch him,but he would always hide when they showed up. People would throw
rocks and sticks at him to scare him off. When I found him he was very cautious when I came up to him and over time,
he came closer and closer to me until I was able to put a leash on him. Once I leashed him it's like he just totally gave up and
looked up at me with sadness in his eyes as though he was saying "Save Me"...

Photobucket Photobucket Photobucket

I grabbed Buck and put him in our Rescue Van and headed back to the Rescue. The first thing I did was feed him
and water him and gave him a little one on one attention. He eat and eat and filled himself up. I set up his dog house and
put some cedar chips in his dog house. He walked right in and did about 2 circles and laid down, looked over at me
and went to sleep. He knew he was safe.

The next day I went to see him and assess his skin and hair loss issues and thought the best thing for him was to put
him on Advantage Multi Plus and just let him heal. Over the weeks he became more healthier and started to play again.
I noticed his skin clearing up and hair was starting to grow back. It took about 3 months of treatment with the Advantage Multi Plus,
but eventually his skin totally cleared up and all his hair grew back.

Buck is now a happy dog who was fortunate he got a chance to come to H.E.A.R. and recuperate his heath issues.
If the Pound would of caught him and since he was an abandoned dog with no home the Pound would of just put him to sleep.
This is a sad reality, but fortunate for Buck he did get a chance to come to H.E.A.R. and now he is back to normal.
He still has some issues and will need a little more time to come around from the abuse he must of gone through.
He only started to truly trust me after a few weeks. If your interested in Adopting Buck. He Looks about 7 years old,
he has been neutered and only gets along with female dogs that are smaller than him. He is very protective of his yard
from other Male dogs. So if you would like to offer Buck a home where he will be loved the rest of his life. Let us know what
sort of forever home you have to offer him. We do require you to be a home owner with a secure fenced in back yard.
He is a Newfoundland / Chow Mix Dog with a beautiful black shinny coat and loves to be petted. He weighs about 60 lbs.
He is NOT potty trained and has pretty much lived his whole life outside. He does have a lot of Love to give the right person.
I would only consider him going to a single dog home or a home with a female dog who weighs no more than 30-40 pounds.
This way Buck can be King of the yard and will be a great family dog in time.

GIVE BUCK A HOME

Buck has a Happy Ending and this is what H.E.A.R. does best.

We Rescue the Ones other Shelters or Rescues didn't want to.

That why it's so Important that you give what you can to save Dogs like Buck.

They deserve a Forever Home, Love and a Family just like any other Dog.

Give, so we can help more Dogs like Buck

ADOPTION QUALIFICATIONS:

You need to be a Home Owner with a secure fenced in back yard. We also require a home check prior to approving the
Adoption and you need to live within a 30 Mile Radius of this Rescue to make sure your fence is high enough and secure enough
for the dog your interested in adopting with no escape areas. We have reduced the Radius for Adoptions from 50 miles to
30 miles due to the high cost of fuel to make home inspections and follow up home checks on each adoptable pet.

We also require you to Fill Out an Adoption Application Form with Vet References which is checked out before considering
the Adoption. You must also allow follow up visits to see the dog and how they are adapting in to their new forever home.

ADOPTION FEE'S $100.00

The Adoption fee covers spaying or neutering and updated shots before Adoption...

VIEWING OF ANY DOG AT THE RESCUE:

If you see a dog you would like to Adopt, please email me and let me know what sort of forever home you have to offer.
Where you live. How big your fenced in yard is (Pictures are Helpful). How tall is your fence and other pets you may have.
Tell us about previous pets and how they were part of your family and what happened to them. Go ahead and brag, it's a
good selling point. (If you write us a letter and say in two lines you want to Adopt So and So and have a fenced in yard
will NOT get you an immediate response). We want to know all about you. Take the time to write a letter as to why you want
a pet in your family, how they will be treated, and how much joy your previous pets made in your life. Our job is to find these
dogs the best home possible. If all checks out, we can then set up a time for you to come by and meet the dog your interested
in Adopting. If after you come by and decide you want to Adopt that dog, we would then set up a time to come out and do
a home check to verify your fenced in yard, height, and make sure it's secure and see where the dog will eat and sleep at night.
