Our Own Rescued Pets
Boomer
Boomer came to us via Quinte Humane
Society at 8 mos of age, and is now three. He has a crushed hip
and femur that was left untreated due to trauma, that left his one
hind leg atrophied and un-usable - though he uses it for balance
quite well. Due to his disability and some emotional issues
from abuse, we felt his best option was to stay with us. He has
come a long way and is a wonderful and kind dog, and has been a joy
to have as part of our family.
Bridget 
Our darling came to us from the pound
at Port Perry. It appears she was a stray, dumped on the side
of the road. No one was interested in an old Rottweiler, and
they were planning to euthanize this absolute gem of a dog if we did
not take her. We think she was about 8 yrs old, at that
time. Her spine, hips and elbows were full of arthritis and she
appeared to have some neurological damage as her head would shake
when she was alert.
With the help of a raw diet and
holistic arthritis support, we were blessed to have her with us for
two wonderful joy-filled years. She was offleash her whole time
with us—you could not lose this dog for trying, so there is no
question she was abandoned, and did not leave her previous home of
her own volition. I can truly say this is one of the kindest,
most intelligent and gracious dogs I have ever had the privilege of
living with. Rottweiler perfection!
Percy
Percy was a rescue. We failed
“Fostering 101”. He was about ten when he came to
us. He had been abandoned in an apartment in Toronto for a week
before anyone noticed. During that time, he had frantically
chewed the kitchen cupboards which we think had some lead, as he had
liver failure and spent several days in the vet clinic before we knew
he was going to make it. He had chronic liver disease after
that, and had to be managed carefully, so he just stayed.
What a precious gift he was. We
were blessed with 2½ more years with this wonderful little dog
before his liver finally gave out.
