Featuring Shiloh: Our Holiday Project. This dog has not been able to catch a break. She is deaf and frightens easily and has twice been on the verge of being put down. She is also sweet, loving, and obedient and is a real heart breaker. She comes to us all the way from North Carolina--her story is a strange one.

Dear Santa

We've got a three-legged dog here and we really need your help... Lucky needs a "forever" home, again. The story starts five years ago. Lucky first came to us barely more than a pup and sadly hurt. He had burns all over his body and a mangled leg; it must have been broken then it healed so poorly that he wobbled and whimpered when he put weight on it. His injuries could only have been caused by abuse. Just a baby, hurt and scared, but a gentle hand scratching his ears had him leaning and smiling and wagging his stub of a tail. How could we turn him away?

Hello. I want to tell you a story about a scared, hopeful, very lonesome dog. The dog is Me. My name is Sophie and I'm a Neapolitan Mastiff. Now let me warn you that this story might seem a little sad, but maybe between us, we can make it turn out right.

Nerf is one-year old, shaggy Terrier mix who came to us through our thousandmile rescue relay from an overcrowded shelter in Georgia. What a delightful puppy face and happy personality, we knew he'd quickly have a home. Then, without warning, he flopped down and didn't want to move. We coaxed and tried to play but be wouldn't respond, refused to eat, and very quickly (scary quickly) he couldn't even walk. A blood test showed an extremely high white blood cell count. We realized that mysteriously, suddenly, this little guy was dying.

Little things mean a lot. Look at these four pictures and know what our job is
about. The special bond between people and animals. Thursdays are special in this
rehabilitation facility, because it is the day that an Animal Adoption Center volunteer
brings a pet for a visit. Sickness, aches, immobility, even pain are briefly forgotten
when a loving dog places a wet nose on a lap, when a gentle cat cuddles and purrs.
People who do not respond to music, art, or conversation will often brighten up and
open up when a loving animal touches them. Many patients wait eagerly for the
Thursdays to roll around. The animals do too.
