our rescue dogs has captured your heart, but you're unable to adopt at this time,
then visit our Fostering/Sponsering Page for information on those options. Second,
we are struggling financially like so many others due to these economic times, and

Lorraine and Rocky celebrating the signing of his adoption agreement, January 2009.

Rocky's Rescue Journey....
Rocky, a the small 3 year old neutered male shepherd/rottie mix, was surrendered
by his family to the Manhattan Shelter on April 22, 2008 and then was rescued by
me a week later. This happy-go-lucky boy patiently waited while I tried to find
him the loving home he deserved. After 8 long months of boarding in kennels in PA
& VT, fostering with Joy for 10 weeks and two failed foster to adopt homes....Rocky
found on Christmas Eve, his Guardian Angel in Lorraine (and her husband) in Cannistota,
NY.
Lorraine just sent me an email with this picture. I burst out crying and laughing
at the same time. It is, in one snap shot, the reason I wanted to do what I do,
why I do what I do, and why I will continue doing what I do for these wonderful
lost souls. Although I'm rambling, I'm speechless in the overwhelming effect it
has on me.
Excerpted
from an email Nanette sent to her rescue partners Jane & Katya, and Rocky's foster
mom Joy in January 2009.

February 2010
- Danna P. of Iowa kindly donated $25 towards Goober's veterinary bill. Goober is
definitely making improvement in her recovery, but her vet bills are huge. We are
so appreciative of all the generous, loving people that are contributing to her
plight.
January 2010
- Margo W. of NYC & CA contacted Nanette wanting to sponsor 3 of the many wonderful
dogs that were sitting at the Manhattan shelter, These particular 3 young dogs (one
was still a pup) were slated to be euthanized within hours. With Margo's financial
help to pay for their boarding, Nanette was able to rescue and save Lindy, Panda
and Varrick (you can see them all posted on our Available Dog's page.) They will
now have their chance to experience what a loving forever home and family is supposed
to be.
- Emily T. of NYC generously donated $300 towards the sponsorship of Daisy2, a wonderful
young female pit bull mix that was in danger of being euthanized at the Manhattan
Shelter.
- Margo W. also donated $200 towards Daisy2's sponsorship, and gave an additional
$300 for Nanette to rescue another wonderful and loving pittie in danger of euthanasia
at the shelter. That $300 will pay for 30 days of boarding, in order to give us
time to find him/her a great home. We are truly grateful for her kindness and support
of our rescue efforts. We'll update who the lucky soul is, as soon as he/she is
safe.
- Darren H. of CT generously donated $25 towards our rescue efforts. Darren is a previous
adopter of ours, adopting one of Nanette's rescued rottweilers Shelbey...who is
now thriving in his care.
- Georgia M. of CT (one of Katya's previous adopters and a lover of the German Shepherd
breed) has made a $150 donation towards Goober's urgent medical care. Goober is
one of Katya's rescued German Shepherds, who is fighting for her life right now
due to not only the previous neglect she suffered but now pneumonia because her
system was so compromised.
- Julia M. of NYC has made a wonderful donation of $300 towards Goober's vet bills
and the urgent care she is being given to save her life. We are praying that Goober
continues to fight to get well so that we can show her what a loving home and life
is supposed to be like. She has so many people that are rooting for her.
- We've received yet another donation towards Goober's vet bill. Rebecca T. of CT
has just sent in $50 towards Goober's medical care. We are so very appreciative
of this financial help, and know that Goober's fight continues to touch so many
hearts.

Featured Dogs
We're thrilled to post the news that the pretty and affectionate shepherd Heidi,
our last featured rescue dog is now in a wonderful foster to adopt home and doing
great!
I first met Saint at a high kill shelter in NYC where she was brought in as a stray.
I took this beautiful 2 year old, 66 lb (but a little thin) shepherd/rottie mix
out of her cage and was impressed at how calm and collected she was inspite of the
stressful conditions of the shelter environment. She calmly stood there, all the
while being alert and watchful, and allowed me to pet and handle her all over while
there were people and other dogs all milling about us. After getting comfortable
with me she leaned against my leg in that rottie way. She is a beautiful combination
of shepherd and rottie but someone accentuated her rottie look by docking her tail.
Saint gets along great with other dogs, and is turned out daily with the play group
of other dogs that are at the boarding kennel where we have her. She is very friendly
with all the people she has met, and would make a great addition to almost any family.
We feel she would do best in a home with older kids (not toddlers or babies) because
she loves to play. Saint knows all her basic commands, including Sit, Down and Paw
and also seems to be housebroken as well, keeping her cage at the boarding kennel
clean. Saint is just an awesome and loving dog, and has been waiting patiently for
her chance at having a home where she'll find the love of a family that she's been
craving. If Saint has captured your heart like she did mine, then please fill out
an application for her, and make it out to my attention (Katya.) We've had Saint
spayed, as well as vaccinated for rabies, distemper and bordetella. She is also
heartworm negative and has been microchipped.
