Seeing any dog in the shelter as a "stray" nearly rips your heart out, but when we found out this sweet, chocolate little man was 16 years old, we were stunned.  There are very few ways a 16 year old can be a "stray" but we were willing to give the benefit of the doubt....

Then the news came - he had a chip AND the chip was registered!  Maybe he had somehow given someone the slip at .5 miles per hour. Maybe this little man's family was desperately looking for him and we could re-unite them.

The shelter reached out multiple times, in multiple ways to reach his family and got zero response.  Nada.  Nothing. 

16 years of love and loyalty and discarded.

Heartbreaking.

As crazy as it sounds, sometimes losing their home is the best thing that can happen to a dog as they have a 2nd chance to get the love and family they have always deserved and that is our plan for the little man we have named Wonka.

Wonka needs a few things - he has a mouth full of rotten teeth and he needs a big 'ole dental, he needs some bloodwork, and he needs some groceries and a sandwich as he is too skinny.

Just a few short days ago, you made a miracle for Pepperoni and we are back again to ask your support to help us cover Wonka's care so that we can continue to be a safe place to land for these sweet souls who have nobody else to come for them.
