Dogs Coming Soon

Grace, 4 years Female Australian Shepherd  Mix Click on picture to enlarge Scheduled Arrival: July 2008 Apply To Adopt Update on Grace: She is finally coming! She has finished her heartworm treatment and spayed. She has been staying at the vet's while she was being treated for heart worm, but is finished. Because there is no foster home for her in TN, we are still paying boarding costs so are seeking ongoing donations. Dr. Everett's husband said Grace is spoiled! Sometimes she will only eat her food off a spoon! He sits and hand feeds her when she is not feeling okay and refuses to eat any other way. Right now she is eating three times/day without being hand fed. Donations are much appreciated. Here is Grace's story. She was picked up by two women who were just finishing transporting dogs. She was wandering along interstate 40, crossing back and forth. They stopped; hoping to check her tags and take her home. But the collar was old and very tight and it was clear she didn't have a home. They contacted Save A Dog; we said we'd take her; and they named her Grace because they'd made a wrong turn and shouldn't have even been there to find her… but for the grace of God. A rescue friend of Save A Dog took her in, found out she was heart worm positive and suffering from a rare tick-borne illnes. So she is being built up so she can be treated for heart worm. Then she can come up and find her forever home.
