Sunny D-Adopted!


This beautiful boy looks nothing like he did when he first entered our rescue in late fall. He was suffering from anemia due to flea infestation, dehydration & starvation. Additionally, he was fighting severe repiratory & eye infections for which he has received antibiotics. He has been dewormed and started on Revolution for flea/tick/heartworm prevention. He is a very laid back & sweet-natured kitten who would be the best feline companion any very lucky person could ever have.

Diablo-Adopted!


This 15 lb. cutie was wandering around in a torrential rainstorm & stopped off at the home of a very wonderful couple. He must have read the sign in the front yard that says, "Nice people who love dogs live here." He has been neutered, is UTD on shots, fecal tested (negative) & heartworm tested (negative). He has been started on flea/tick/hw preventative. He is an absolute joy to have in the house as he is so well-mannered & yes he is housebroken. Thank you so much Cathy for transporting him to us!

Milo-Adopted!


Milo is a 1 1/2 yr. old, 15 lb. male that was brought to us after he was found laying by the side of the road. He had been hit by a car & the motorist left him where he lay. He will be neutered & UTD on shots prior to adoption. He has been dewormed & started on flea/tick/heartworm preventative.

Grace-Adopted!


Grace is a sweet 1 yr. old who has unfortunately already had to endure having a litter of puppies in her young life. No more of that in her future as she is scheduled to be spayed soon. She has obviously been a housedog as she is certainly no stranger to the creature comforts of home. A loyal girl, she wants nothing more than to be with her people at all times. She is very smart & knows several commands, including sit, down, stay & speak. If you play a game of fetch with her, she will be your friend for life. A fenced yard is necessary to adopt her.

Diego-Adopted!


This sweet, 7 lb., 1 yr. old boy came from a shelter in N.C. Cathy, a caseworker for DAN, was generous enough to transport him to OH. He has had all of his vetwork done- neuter, all shots, fecal test (negative) & heartworm test (negative). He has been started on flea/tick/heartworm preventative. He was so afraid & timid when we first got him but he has really come out of his shell. He enjoys playing for hrs. with his foster siblings while he awaits his new home.

Nikki-Adopted!


Nikki is sweetheart that craves human contact. If you ever wanted a dog that adores you completely, this is it. She has had a very rough start in life as she was a breeder dog that had at least 4 litters of pups or more. When no longer needed, she was just tossed aside to anyone who wanted her. Luckily, it was a caring person who brought her to us. We will make sure she never has to be used as a source of income ever again as she will be spayed prior to adoption. In her new home, she will enjoy the life she deserves as a much-loved canine companion.

Luca-Adopted!


This beautiful 1 yr. old girl was rescued from a puppymill where she would certainly have spent her entire life confined in a cage as a breeder dog. While shy & timid at first, once she gets to know you, she is very trusting. She is content to be held & lay in your lap for hours at a time (even on car rides as she is very calm & quiet). Prior to adoption, she will be spayed, UTD on shots, dewormed & started on flea/tick/heartworm preventative. She must go to a home with a fenced yard.

Pajama Mama-Adopted!


This unique & adorable little girl is 5 mos. old & weighs just 6 lbs. She should top out at 12-15 lbs. when fully grown. She bonds instantly to anyone who gives her the attention she is so deserving of. She is house-trained. Prior to adoption, she will be spayed & UTD on shots. She has been dewormed & started on Revolution, a heartworm/flea/tick preventative.

Allie-Adopted!


This beautiful baby was an owner surrender from southern WV. A Christmas present that was no longer wanted. Allie is just 3 mos. & is already very malnourished. She has a personality like no other and truly adores people. Potential adopters must have a 6 ft. fence as she can already easily jump a 4 ft. one. She also must be an indoor dog (just as all of our dogs must be) as she wants nothing more than to be a part of the family. She has been spayed, dewormed, had her first set of puppy shots, is being treated for a fungal infection & has been started on Revolution for flea/tick/heartworm prevention.

Damon-Adopted!


When this beautiful boy's rescuers found him, he was small enough to fit in the palm of their hand. He was laying on the side of the road all alone. Because he was too young to be weaned from his mother, who could not be found, he was bottle-fed. He is now 10 wks. old & is a typical roly-poly, sweet, fun-loving puppy. He will ultimately grow to be a large dog at about 80 lbs. (this is our best guess.) He has had his first set of puppy shots & been dewormed.

Peyton-Adopted!


 peyton  Picture

Peyton was brought to us by a very special person who found him on a busy highway searching for food. His eyes are so infected that he can not even open them to see. He had to rely on his sense of smell in order to find food. He is extremely emaciated & dehydrated- note pictures of his skin being pulled up & remaining in this position for several minutes. He is so weak that he can barely hold his head up. His ears are severely infected due to a yeast infection. He has lost much of his hair possibly due to flea allergies. We believe it has taken years to reach this level of neglect. All he wants is to be loved, held & taken care of in a manner he was so deserving of but was never offered. He has been let down in so many unimaginable ways. While we have no proof as to his origins, we can only surmise based on other dogs we have received in this similiar state, that he was probably bred for profit & when no longer able to produce, was dumped on the street rather than taken to the Vet for medical treatment.

These 3 adorable kittens were rescued by a wonderful person who was very concerned about their welfare. A generous donation was made by their rescuer on their behalf. They are extremely lucky to have had this special guardian angel looking out for them. Taylor is a girl & Sienna & Aero are boys. They are very playful & love each other tremendously. All three appear to be very healthy.


Graley-Adopted!


graley Picture

This strikingly beautiful boy was found by a mail carrier in terrible condition. Both eyes were so infected that they were sealed shut. He was very anemic & severely bloated due to flea & intestinal worm infestation. He was treated with local & systemic anibiotics & dewormer. Today, he has no ill effects from his prior life & positively exudes excellent health. He has a wonderful, sweet personality that is truly one of a kind.

Mishka is a beautiful, lively 7 month old little girl. She was pulled from the shelter along with Ducati. She has been spayed, UTD on shots, microchipped & started on Revolution for heartworm/flea/tick prevention. She does very well when going for car rides as she really loves them. She is a quite the charmer & gets along great with everyone. Playing with the other dogs & sharing her toys keeps her very busy at the sanctuary.

apollo 1 Picture

Apollo is not available for adoption through Orphan Network. He will be with us for a short time & we wanted to share his story. We pulled him from the Athens Co. Dog Shelter on 11/13/09. Orphan is working in conjunction with a very wonderful organization that made his rescue possible- Northcoast Doberman Rescue. We will foster him until he can be transported to NCDR in Columbus, OH. He is about 6-8 mos. old & was found in very emaciated condition wandering the streets with a littermate. He is a sweet, intelligent & loving boy whose life has been forever changed by the joint effort of these organizations. Apollo would like to thank NCDR!! Please contact Northcoast Doberman Rescue if you are interested in adopting this wonderful boy!

Titan-Adopted!


titan Picture

Titan is 1 yr. old & weighs about 15 lbs. He is a very social dog that gets along great with all of the other dogs & cats at the sanctuary. He loves people & children of all ages. He currently has a bilateral eye infection which is being treated with antibiotics. This is the reason why the hair around his eyes has fallen out. This will regrow once the infection is gone. Prior to adoption, he will be neutered, UTD on shots, heartworm tested & started on heartworm/flea/tick preventative.
