Bama’s Story
Posted by admin on 12 Apr 2010 | Tagged as: Bama's Story, Contest, New Lives Book, Previous Inspiring Stories
The day we got Bama, our foster dog from the animal shelter it was freezing cold with snow and ice on the way. I had gone to the shelter after e-mailing with the director to pick out a dog to bring home and to hopefully make a difference for an animal in need. I had my eye on some dogs I had seen on Petfinder, however, Karen, the shelter director wanted me to consider Bama, a 4 month old Sheppard/pyrenees mix that had been brought in as stray and was very frightened and scared.
When I saw him I knew I had to bring him home. When we got him to our house he would not leave his bed in the den. We had to bring his food to him and pick him up to go outside. He would not walk on the leash and certainly did not want to go on any neighborhood walks. This went on for the next few days. Fortunately he loved our other rescue dog, Sadie. Slowly he began to get up and walk to us for a snack and then one day he actually got up and walked out the door on his own. Then we began to work on walking with the leash and little by little he began to realize he was loved and in a good place. People began to be interested in adopting him and somehow homes that we wanted for him just weren’t working out. We kept reminding ourselves that we weren’t going to keep him, but we knew we were falling in love with him and wouldn’t be able to let him go. We adopted him from the shelter and he is the most loving and sweet dog. He does something to make us laugh everyday and we are so glad that he has realized how much he is loved.

I’m Harley, a 3-1/2 year old Weimaraner. I was surrendered to Heartland Animal Shelter in Northbrook Illinois along with 4 of my siblings by a breeder that couldn’t find us a home. My shelter name was “Wild Thing”, which should give you a clue about me. I was a bouncy, playful guy that was given lots of love and attention in my days at the shelter.

One day about 15 years ago, I walked into the central office of the humanities department of San Juan College, where I am the program director of KSJE FM, public radio. The head of humanities wife> Laura, sat with a beautiful little dog on her lap. Falling instantly in love with its huge eyes, I asked if I could hold it. She said yes and I gathered the little ball of golden fur into my arms.

On September 8, 2009, our beautiful black lab mix, Katie, died at the age of 14. She was the last of a quartet of beautiful labs that graced our home and kept us hopping. Brokenhearted, we gathered the worldly possessions of our babies and took them to the Newport Animal Shelter to comfort the animals there. I approached the shelter with a great sense of dread, fearing the sad scenes I would fine there.

Chevy’s Adoption Story
Posted by admin on 01 Feb 2009 | Tagged as: Adoption, Chevy, Contest, New Lives Book, News & Views
My husband and I had said that when we moved back home, we’d get a second dog to keep our Chase (BC mix) company. So we shopped around. And around and around. We didn’t want to get the first puppy we saw and after week’s of searching, the local Humane Society had our new addition. A little ball of black and white fur that was so cute and friendly and perfect. So we adopted her and took her home. We named her Chevy – the doggins would forever more be known as Chevy and Chase.

The slow global economy has lowered the number of animal adoptions more than any of us would like to admit. The animal organizations who are hurting the most aren’t the large national groups. It’s the small local or shelters and organizations that are really struggling right now.
I wanted a way that would allow you to directly raise money – hopefully a LOT – for your favorite animal organization or shelter, help raise awareness for animal adoption, and reward you in the process.
