We had three adoptions this week: Biscuit went from a week in the hospital and almost dying of parvo to a wonderful home with a very loving couple in Cincinnati. Biscuit's has two cats for buddies in his new home.
Freeway has found his forever home in Cincinnati. He loves having his own home, mom and dad. Freeway actually picked his new owner. She came to see another dog and Freeway hopped in her lap and refused to get down. Freeway said, "It is me, I am the dog for you." Our adopted dogs.

WHAT'S NEW?
LUVFURMUTTS would like to extend a special thank you and welcome to our newest volunteer, Theresa Clark. You can visit Theresa at http://www.clarkcanineacademy.com/. We can't stress enough how lucky we are to have Theresa working with our luvfurmutts fosters and families. Theresa will be available to answer question for fosters who have a problem with their foster dogs. Theresa works with many rescues in the Cincinnati area. Her dedication to helping homeless dogs says a lot for her and the quality of training she provides by really caring about the dogs more then the money.
For any of you who are having problems with your dogs a few weeks with a trainer can mean a lifetime of enjoying your family pet without worry or problems. Especially for any of you who are thinking of getting or have a puppy. Theresa has a very economical puppy package that would help you out tremendously with breaking in your new family member without destroying every one's schedule or sleep habits.
You can see her and Brutus below.
Rescues are in dire need of foster families. The way it works is we supply the crate, food, medical care and you supply the home and love for a homeless dog till the right family is found for the dog. Many families rescue because they have one dog who is lonesome alone but they cannot afford to take on a second dog. Fostering can help your pet and the homeless pet too. All dogs are given an exam by a licensed vet and given all medical treatment prior to being placed in foster homes.
If you can find room in your heart and home to save the life of a dog please click here for a foster application.

The Rescuer's Creed was sent to us by a friend in rescue. While we do not know who wrote it we wanted to share it with our supporters.
The Rescuer's Creed
I promise I will take your unwanted animals.
I will heal their wounds, their diseases, their broken bones.
I will give them the medical attention they need and deserve.
I will nurture their starvation and give them a warm place to sleep.
I will spay and neuter them, vaccinate them against the diseases that can harm them.
I will treat them and honor them. I will buy them toys, blankets, balls, and teach them to play.
I will speak softly to them. I will try to teach them not to fear, not to cry, and not to hate.
I will whisper sweet, kind, gentle words into their ears,
while gently trying to stroke their fear, their pain, and their scars away.
I will face their emotional scars and give them time to overcome them.
I will socialize them, potty train them, teach them to be obedient,
show them dignity, hold their paws, and stroke their ears if they
have endured too much and walk them over the Rainbow Bridge,
BUT most of all I will teach them LOVE.

I am involved in dog rescue: my wallet and gas tank are always running on empty, my house is never quiet and free of dog hair, nor is my car, my inbox is full of ongoing despair and misery, but my heart and soul are replenished with unconditional love, loyalty, and joy that can only come from a rescued dog!" ~ Author Unknown
