Shelter Sunday: Preacher / Mountain Girl Rescue / Flagstaff, AZ

Preacher AZ

Meet Preacher! This handsome fella is a Mastiff / Cane Corso mix who is house-trained and said to be good with dogs, cats, and children. Here’s what is known about Preacher:

Preacher is all love! He’s a big boy, so needs a strong handler, and would be best with bigger kids. He’s wonderful on the leash & knows basic commands.

Preacher is currently a guest of Mountain Girl Rescue in Flagstaff, Arizona. If you’re lucky enough to be in the great state of Arizona, why not contact Mountain Girl Rescue at [email protected] or (928) 699-1320 so you can ask about Preacher and all of his friends. Visit their Facebook Page.

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

The Animal Channel carries the story of Gumby, a white hound who was found wandering the streets and was taken in by the Charleston Animal Society. Over the course of two years, he was adopted no less than ELEVEN times, but kept either running away from his adoptive homes to return to the shelter (three times) or being returned by his adopters because they could not keep him contained (eight times).

From Fox32 in Chicago:

Lana, a 3-year old yellow Lab, gained fame as the Saddest Dog in the World when a picture of her in her kennel was widely circulated in 2015. She was adopted after that, but was returned to the shelter less than a year later when she snapped at her adoptive mom. She’s now on a short list for euthanasia due to over-crowding at the shelter and has until May 20th to be pulled from the shelter. Continue reading Do you remember Lana the Labrador? →

Shelter Sunday: Nap Time at Arizona Greyhound Rescue

Leave a comment

A little different take on our Shelter Sunday feature this week.

Sunday afternoons are my favorite time to nap. Maybe that’s why this video struck me so hard today. Here’s what the videographer from Arizona Greyhound Rescue has to say about it: Mr. Fry is a saluki mix from Arizona Greyhound Rescue. He loves to bask in the sun, so he takes his bed with him to a sunny spot for a nice afternoon nap. Mr. Fry also will carry his bed with him to be near his humans if they moved into another room.

Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Re-posting on the off-chance that this is actually true – you never know!

The dog was brought in by the local police as a stray, but he has an owner, and right now, the public’s assistance is needed to help identify that man, and to help get him back to the facility to claim his dog.

Riding the Rails with K.C.

I just love it when I can refer you to one of my favorite blogs, the one associated with The Rachel Maddow Show on MSNBC.

They recently carried the story of KC, an Australian Shepherd / Border Collie mix who was found riding on top of a boxcar! Animal control officers used a forklift to lower the dog to the ground, and he is now up for adoption from the Mississippi Animal Rescue League.
