Save a dog and you won't change the world, but surely for that one dog the world will change forever...



The puppies have arrived and they are remarkably beautiful and smart!!!

Our beautiful little precious puppies are here and they are so much fun!!! They are affectionate, playful and so, so funny. All puppies will be fully vetted, dewormed, have Heartgard and Frontline, vitamin supplements and excellent diet. We will also work on their basic obedience. These puppies are already almost 100% potty trained and are crate trained. They love playing with each other and chasing toys around. Also check out our precious little boy BonBon who is still looking for his forever home. He is so sweet, playful and bonds very tightly to his family. If you decide to adopt both a puppy and BonBon, we will work with you on getting very reduced adoption fees and reduced veterinary bills. The best time to get two dogs to bond tightly is to get one as a young dog and one as a puppy. You will be amazed at the loyalty and love that they develop for each other. Please contact Tammi at rvtv1@msn.com as soon as possible for an application as these puppies are getting a great deal of interest. Our rescue is also getting a new mom with 10 puppies in a couple of weeks and we will be working with those families who qualified for the three we currently have, but were unable to get because we work on a first come, first serve basis with approved applications.











What a handsome boy! BonBon was rescued by a wonderful lady in Madison, Wisconsin after she saw his heartbroken face on a listing at a high-kill shelter in Indiana. BonBon has adadpted wonderfully to his new environment and is happily awaiting a family who wants this sweet, lovable boy. Please contact us for more information and please consider giving this incredibly loving and smart boy a chance!

URGENT! URGENT! We are getting a young mother with 10 pittie puppies in our rescue on 7/3/09. Momma is getting ready to start weaning her puppies and is in dire need of a foster home so that she can recover from the demands of taking care of such a large litter of puppies. She is so sweet and gentle, and loved to snuggle next to her former family. As a mother, you must understand how tired she is and in need of some tender loving care. If you can help out by providing a foster home or are interested in adopting momma girl, please call us at (608) 718-3813. Momma Gurl will be fully vetted, on Heartgard and Frontline, and will be spayed so she won't have to go through such trauma again. Please consider giving back to this sweet momma what she so freely gave to her babies.










We are working with some out-of-state shelters in transporting dogs to Wisconsin for adoption who are facing imminent death due to a lack of space. Many of these animal are euthanized by "gassing" and are held for as little as three days before they are put down. For more information on this inhumane method of euthanasia, please see the video below and you will find out just how horrifying and painful a death this is for our beloved companion pets. It is a GRAPHIC and BARBARIC video to watch, but you need to know that this form of death is still in use all over the country and that is why we are working so hard to get pets out of these shelters.

**Warning: Graphic and Disturbing Video**

PRITTY


Our beautiful brindle pitbull that came to Wisconsin all the way from a high-kill shelter in North Carolina turned out to be such a delightful and smart dog that I decided to keep her. Pitbulls have been exploited, reviled and abused beyond our imagination and the thought of sending this dog into any home other than ours scared me so much that I couldn't let her go. She did have some very nice interested prospects, but they all rented and we would not allow her to go into a rental situation. So many times someone is forced to move and give up their pets and we needed to make sure that Pritty never ended up in a shelter again. I am also a strong advocate for this breed and try to educate anyone I can to the special needs and requirements of having such a high energy pet. Pritty is happy, well cared for and loved beyond belief.

SPECIAL RE-HOMING PROGRAM



We are now offering a "Re-Homing and Adoption Contract" program that allows you the opportunity to participate in the adoption process for your pet. Because of the lack of space in many shelters and the low number of foster homes currently available, it is very hard to find ways to place your pet if you are forced to surrender them for reasons such as moving to a home where pets aren't allowed, difficult work schedules, allergies, or finding a stray that hasn't been claimed. One of the most difficult issues we can face is giving up our beloved pets and ensuring that they aren't euthanized or placed in the wrong home. Once you give up ownership of a pet to a shelter, your rights to any information is also terminated. The program is simple: Once we temperament test your pet and they pass our standards, we provide advertising, listing on websites such as Petfinder, and screening of potential adoptive homes including background checks, veterinary and personal reference checks, and home visits. Once we have narrowed the field to a few qualified homes, we will sit down with you and decide who would provide the best home for your pet. It is a wonderful program for everyone involved and helps make the transition for you and your pets much, much easier. To discuss this unique program, please call (608) 436-0138 or e-mail rvtv1@msn.com for further information.


NEWS

Boo Bear has found his new family and moved to Iowa!!! We received an inquiry from a wonderful couple living in Iowa and it quickly became apparent that they would make perfect parents for our little Boo. This tiny little guy came to us and needed to be on formula because of his young age. We battled and battled to get him to eat solid food, but he was just as determined to stay on his formula. Once he went to live with Kathy and Jim, they found a way to get him to to start eating small amounts of solids and now he is thriving! We send a special "Thank You!" to Jim and Kathy for loving this little guy and giving him the home he needed and deserves.

DONATIONS

We are currently working to complete our paperwork for non-profit status and are accepting donations to cover our costs which include transporting, food, veterinary care, crates, treats, training fees, office supplies, advertising, and all the other expenses that crop up in caring for our foster pets. Without your help, we would be unable to continue our operations. Our greatest expenses are related to pet healthcare, so if you would like to make a donation to assist with our veterinary costs please note on your checks "Vet Care" and we will direct the money to our account with our vet clinic.


WHO WE ARE

We, the volunteers and administrators of One At A Time Pet Rescue, believe that every single person can make a difference in the life of a pet and each one of us, if willing to help in one capacity or another, can make a huge difference in decreasing the number of homeless pets. One At A Time, we can be the catalyst for change and together transform the outlook for millions of pets. Our philosophy is that our pets are family members and as family members, we must fight to protect them, assist in improving their manners through proper training, and educate our friends and neighbors on ways to better the lives of their pets.

Another goal of our group is to fight stereotypes for certain breeds of dogs and advocate to halt discrimination that results in Breed Specific Legislation (BSL). Many communities are opting to ban breeds such as pit bull terriers, rottweillers, German shepherds, and other dogs deemed “vicious”. By educating and carefully selecting the proper homes for these breeds, we hope to teach the public the specific needs of each breed. A happy, healthy pet who’s needs are being met both physically and psychologically is a strong argument for stopping BSL and the resulting genocide that occurs when communities opt to ban a breed that results in mass euthanasia. This frightening trend has occurred in communities such as Denver, Colorado and Miami, Florida, and thousands of owners of these breeds have faced the horror of losing their beloved pets when they are seized and killed. This type of legislation punishes those who are responsible pet owners and still does not address the problems associated with people who exploit and abuse these breeds for financial gain. The lists of banned dogs will continue to grow because the people willing to exploit these animals for financial gain will just go out and find a bigger, stronger breed such as Dogo Argentino or Tosa to fight and breed. Rescue groups all over the country receive desperate calls for assistance in getting dogs out of areas with BSL to prevent the deaths of beloved family pets. Bumper stickers in these areas proclaim, “Ban the deed, not the breed” and we strongly believe that focusing resources on education, low-cost spaying/neutering and upping the penalties for crimes against animals will assist in stopping this madness.

PETS FOR SENIORS PROGRAM

Pets can make an amazing difference in our lives and greatly improve our health and we would like to make pet ownership an option for all people, even those with limited income. We know of a gentleman who was diagnosed with severe congestive heart failure in 1979 at the age of 41 and was told he had 3-5 years to live. He always kept dogs and cats and lived to be 69 years old. I am totally convinced that he survived and survived in pretty good health due to his love of animals and the benefits they provided him. He was my father and the love and devotion his pets gave him improved the quality of his life and for that I will be eternally grateful. If you are in good health, over the age of 55 and can show that you can handle the financial responsibilities of a pet , please call (608) 718-3813
