Mason:

Mason is a lovable 7 yr old chocolate brown Labrador who has been overlooked at the shelter too many times and has only 1 week left to find a loving home. He was left on the side of the road to die after being hit by a truck in the middle of the night. By the time he was found, he had a collapsed lung, was barely breathing and was paralyzed on his right side. He was almost euthanized to put him out of his misery, but soon after he was brought in, he took a liking to a volunteer and immediately started showing signs of progress. He made it through a successful surgery days later and to look at him today, you would never know the trauma he’s been through. He walks perfectly and still runs around like a puppy. It’s hard to believe it’s the same dog. Sadly, the volunteer responsible for his successful rehabilitation had to leave him at the shelter when she moved away. Sometime later, while getting passed up time and time again for adoption at the shelter, he finally found a four-legged friend to play with who is now his best bud at the shelter. However, his friend is now being transported to another facility and due to the age restrictions, Mason cannot go with him.

This poor boy has made it through being struck by a truck, seeing his caretaker leave him and now will have to say goodbye to his best friend next week. People seem to pass by him at Petsmart simply because he has a few gray hairs on his nose, but they don’t realize what a gentle, courageous and happy dog he is. He greets me every time I come into the shelter with a hearty bark and whagging tail, but he still can’t find a home. The shelter has kept him as long as they can so we are in desperate need of a generous heart right now. Mason is smart, he takes care of himself, he obeys commands and most of all, he loves people, children and other dogs!

Stormy:

Stormy is our resident lovebug! She is an affectionate female who sadly had some of her claws ripped out and was thrown over the fence at the shelter by a neglectful family who didn’t want her and left her to fend for herself. She is a grey bobtail with bright green eyes and an endearing personality you can’t help but love. The ends of her mouth curl up like she is smiling at you and she will tickle you with her whiskers and purr endlessly if you show her the attention she deserves. She is curious and cute, but this is her last week at the shelter and she deserves a home to call her own.
