The tPF Animalicious Rescue/Adoption Hotline

(From a great friend and former co-worker of mine)

"I am sending this out to see if there is anyone out there that might have the room in their heart and home for a sweet dog that needs a family...

Her name is Becky and she was found starving in the woods and it looks like she had been abused and then dumped. A friend of mine is keeping her as a foster dog until we can find her a home. She is a absolute sweety! She is quiet, has a short silky coat that doesn't shed much, is great with other dogs and cats and she doesn't seem to have any issues with being abandoned (other than being a real snuggler and liking to lay next to you all of the time). The vet thinks that she is a year or two old and has probably had a couple of litters of puppies... but she has now been spayed and has a clean bill of health!

I've enclosed some pictures... and yes, she is as calm and sweet and she looks in the pictures.

As you know, I'm a complete dog geek but I just don't have the schedule or the room for her or I would take her in in a second. And if you are interested in her, please take it seriously... a dog is not disposable and the only thing that they want is a "pack" to belong to, so please don't take her in unless you are willing make her part of the family... (of course that doesn't mean that we don't expect you to want to "test-drive" her to make sure she is the dog for you and you are the person for her.) ;-)

If there is a great person or family out there that can giver her a home, just contact me even if I need to drive her a long way to the right home (or even ship her), I'm willing to do it.

Please pass this on to anyone you think is worthy of this girls love and devotion.


And Becky is also listed on the adoption website: www.Homewardtrails.org

If someone is interested, they would have to adopt her through Homeward trails which is great. they do a screening, interview, etc."

Located in the MD/VA/DC metro area...

I hope someone adopts Becky very soon! She looks like a sweetheart!

Just found this thread through a post of the OPs in another section. BRAVO! And I hope Becky get a home soon! (I am a mom of a rescue dog - I drove Montreal-Kentucky to pick her up - and she's been my best friend for 6 years)

Becky is a gorgious dog! I hope she will find a loving home soon! Best of luck!!!!

I'm hoping Becky found a wonderful home. She's no longer listed with HomwardTrails.com

I would also like to encourage people to adopt, foster or volunteer to help neglected & abused animals - it is a rewarding experience!

Right now I am adopting an abandoned mom & family of kittens & they are so delightful to have! There's nothing else that could wake me up so early in the morning & willingly!

Mom cat arrived very nervous & is clearly frightened of people, but I have been doing everything I can to make her feel at ease & it's working! She & I have created a special bond, whereas she is still far from certain about everybody else! (if you are dealing with a nursing cat or a nervous cat & could do with a bit of advice, please let me know & I will put here some tips).

Also, take a look at the ''Get Festive & Help The RSPCA'' thread, if you are an animal lover & would like to help animals in need!
