After a friend’s dog had a litter of eight pups Fur-Mama Melanie brought her kids to visit and snuggle with them every night.  Not surprisingly, they fell in love and adopted two of the puppies – Gypsy and Pablo.  “Blue Heelers are very active and these two are inseparable,” says Melanie: “They are the best addition to our family we could have ever hoped for.”

Gracie is one of the most special dogs I've ever had. She is a Shep that was saved by St Francis Rescue in South Carolina and brought to me by my sister with Puppy Love Pet Rescue. She is perfect and has been from day one. Gracie loves everyone she meets…she’s the apple of my eye.

My highschool-aged niece heard of a dog that was headed to a shelter and walked 6 miles (in February!) to bring it home…only to be told by her mom that she could not stay!  I decided I’d take her for the weekend - and here we are 2 years later! Scarlett found her home and I found a piece of me that I never even knew was missing.
