Dublin & Guinness with the New Baby

These two pups came to LAAR before they were born - yes really :)  There mom was found wandering the streets, very scared.  Two Lost Angels foster parents were able to get her and took her home.  She was scared and malnourished and they quickly began to give her love and of course food.  She ballooned very quickly and they quickly realized she was pregnant.  A few days later she gave birth to 5 beautiful puppies.  A wonderful couple decided to adopt these two boys together - brother love is very strong and these two were meant to be together forever.

Now mom and dad have expanded this little family with a new baby!!  From their mom:

Dublin and Guinness are doing great. I think they have welcomed Jaxon to the pack. When I was pregnant I made sure I involved them in as much as I could everything that we brought home for the baby I made sure they checked it out, when the baby cries the dogs coming running like mom he's crying again, when he's in the swing they often stick there heads in there to make sure he is ok, I do have to remind Guinness that he is little because he always want to lay on him, but I think once he's on the loose my house will be crazy but they will be wearing each other out. When Chris gets home I will send you the video when the puppies meet Jaxon for the first time, I don't know where on the computer he put the video. But I have attached some picture, and I did find a video of the boys on a walk wrestling in the snow, Chris just got a new phone when he shot this video because it's in slow motion but it's great, they are almost 5 but I think they will always be puppies.

Butterfly morphs into Sadie...

This beautiful pup was one of a litter of 5 who was on death row at a local kill shelter.  The Angels swooped in and saved this litter of pups and are so excited to see them each go to their forever homes!

From Butterfly AKA Sadie's new mom:

Hi Tina,

 

It was very nice to meet you.  Thanks for bringing Sadie to us.  I think she is going to be a total joy.  She has been a very good girl.  Now if I can get Dave trained!!  He let Sadie out of crate last night because she whimpered a little when we were going to bed.  He ended up sleeping on the couch with her all night.  For now, I’m afraid for her to have free reign.  She is very puppy like and seems to want to eat anything she finds on the floor.  I also noticed that outside, she was trying to eat acorns, dried up worms, etc.  I also am keeping the doggie door in for now; I think she is just too small to be unsupervised.  She had some loose stools yesterday, outside Yeah!!  This morning though I took her out she peed, then feed her and it was not loose.  She actually pooped again about an hour later and it was fine.  She is a little lover and just what we needed.  We haven’t been around a puppy in awhile and it’s funny how they tear around for awhile then they just pass out.  She definitely is a clown.  We were outside yesterday and Dave got the hose out to water some plants and she dove for it and started jumping and biting at the water.  She also was having a field day chasing lizards around in our yard.  I haven’t seen Dave so happy since Sugar was here!!  We are just animal lovers and it is sad when you don’t have any.

 

I have tried to talk some of my friends into getting her sister Bambi from you since they thought the pics I sent were so cute.  I told them we could have play dates.

 

I am taking Sadie to Vet on Monday to get her as an established patient.  While the Vet clinic I went to with Sugar was very good, they are also the most expensive in town.  I also think of Sugar when I am there.  I am going to take Sadie to South Tampa Veterinary Care, Denise Ginex.  She had come highly recommended to me by several people and then I saw where she advertised on the back of my church bulletin.  I like to try to support those who advertise, so I hope I like her.  I have never had Pet Insurance but the way the costs keep going up, I am going to look into that too.

 

I am a protective mother but I think that Dave balances that out by not being that way.  I’m just amazed at how good she has been and seeming like she is very happy.  I’m glad I was drawn to the name Butterfly and your organization. 

 

Thanks again,

 

Sincerely,

 

Angela

Marcus Rides the Love Cart

Marcus was abandoned in my neighborhood and I took him in.  The neighbors told me he was around several days and had no ID.  He was malnourished and very dirty.  He was less than a year old and not neutered.  Lost Angels took care of his medical needs and he was adopted in about a month.  Pat had recently lost her dog, who looked a little like Marcus, and fell in love with him at first sight.  She drove up from Sun City to see Marcus at Petco, and filled out the application on the spot.  Pat is retired so she and Marcus are together constantly.  They ride the golf cart around the neighborhood and Marcus goes for long walks every day.  Everyone in the area loves Marcus and he has lots of friends.  When Pat’s family visits, Marcus gets even more love.  

 It has been almost three years since she adopted Marcus.  There have been some challenges with such a spirited dog, but Pat loves him and they could not be happier together.  Marcus has the life we want for all our rescued dogs and I am so grateful to Pat for her devotion to Marcus.

Nova Relaxes - Adopting a Senior Dog is Good for the Soul!

 

This is beautiful Nova!  She was dumped at a kill shelter by her prior owners.  The shelter said she seemed to be in a state of shock when she first arrived.  We had wonderful foster parents step up for this senior girl.  Our volunteer, Tina, who does a lot of our transports took pictures of the "freedom ride" as Nova left the shelter where her life was in danger and started a new life with the angels.  This photo pulled at the heart strings of what ended up being Nova's new mommy. 

Her new mom writes:
I just thought you might like up date on Nova.  she is so much more relaxed and has really opened up even more in the last few weeks.  We are still trying to get the skin under control but 90% better!  Also we just had a sample of those lumps taken.  should get the results next week.  I really noticed a huge difference in her when I took her to the vet last week.  she didn't seem confused anymore, meaning she knew she was coming home with me and I wasn't going to leave her.  :0)  I can't wait until I am able to adopt more Nova's!

Beach Day for Gavin - Slow Kill HW Success!

Gavin came to Lost Angels from a high-kill shelter.  His time was up and he was a lucky one who found a spot with us.  He was heartworm positive and had some separation anxiety.  He found a wonderful home with another little doggie to play with.  He is now heartworm free (thanks to the slow-kill treatment) and loving life.

Penny - Previously known as Pretty Girl

My (Jacki Wester) very first foster... over 7 years ago.  She got a wonderful home and he has stuck with her through thick and thin!
