Michele King December 3 at 4:54pm 12/3

Please rescue from these North Carolina Gassing Shelters. These animal control shelters take in new pets daily and have little space. Most cats and dogs have little time before being killed. They can't live without you! Please pass this list along to all rescues and shelters, especially in the northern states. Thank you!

Lexi~from Irving Shelter Then and now Nov 27th

Lexi was 3- months old when she was pulled from a Irving TX shelter by a great rescue friend Ginger. Her name was Lilly (She was named by Russell a shelter walker) She was known to be blind like most white Aussies are. I was not prepared for them to say she's deaf to.  She was transported by car transporters and Pilots N Paws transporters here to NH where she has grown to be a great little girl.
When she got here I got her to the vets, because she had one inverted eye lid, her eye balls are the size of pea's. They corrected her eye lids with surgery and she could see better but not perfect.
Days after surgery when the swelling went down she was back walking into things.
Sense then she has learned alot and is better with things she smells she dose not understand.
She would smell other dogs walking by and bark, purfume or other things would send her into attacking air or me.


She was adopted and returned because she could smell the cat and would bark all night. Biting them because she was confused. I was concerned with my latest move to a new place. BUT she has came along way sense then. She go's in and out, other dogs don't faze her, and she has ejusted better then others here. I feel she is ready for a new family. Maybe not someone with a cat, but she dose like to play with other dogs and loves everyone. She has not bit in a long time.





She loves being out side smelling around, she always seems happy to be out. She has always been house trained. Sometimes in the middle of the night she decides to play. This aggravates most of the dogs here but they are used to her, on the most part she is pretty quiet.
She has grown to about 35-40 lbs, very healthy and has not had complications with her eyes. This has not stopped her from learning sit, down, and she knows t wait for her treat when she comes in from doing her business.
She's a sweet girl waiting for the right person to adopt her and give her the life she deserves.
She is now a year old up to date on shots, spayed, micro chipped, and ready to start her new life. :)

Stanley then and now~ Nov 27th 2009 UPDATE ADOPTED!

UPDATE! STANLEY WAS ADOPTED! HE IS DOING GREAT IN HIS NEW HOME!
Stanley was rescued a year in a half ago from a Georgia Shelter he was 10-11 weeks old when he was found abandaned on a balcony of a appartment ,left to die. He had a burn down his back like someone poured acid and also has small little punctures in a line down his back. How he even survived this amazes me. He could have been infected and had complications but he was lucky he was found on time by animal control in Athens GA. Where It was listed he would play with toilet paper and play with other pups there.
I had him transported to me in NH and his wounds were healing great, and his personality has never reflected his past. He's a big baby even to this day.
He gets along with all the young crowd here and he's always been a great guy. But has never had anyone seriosly interested in him. Still here looking for a home.
I'll never understand why he is still here. Yes, he has a scar down his back but it has never effected him. (other then he shouldent be in the sun to long) He has his buddies I call them the brat pack. Willy, Shayla, Mini moo They all play together, roll in the dirt, and chase each other around the field.

My hopes for Stanley is that the right home comes for him and he moves on to a new life. He could make a great pet for any family. Someday I hope to leave him off at the right home, with smiles saying goodbye, where he would have the attention he needs. But for now he has his friends here and we will both wait.
I never saved him to keep him but he will be here until he finds a forever home. I love this guy he is great. I don't mind him staying.

Now 1 1/2 years old neutered and up to date on shots micro chipped. He's a healthy boy, vet says at 85lbs looks more lab the pitbull but has pitbull in his family tree so is listed pit lab. He almost had a home with a great family but we had to say no because of Pitbull laws in there city. If your interested in Stanley and your in NH please email Kathi@dontdumpthatdog.com

Fandango is in Purina Rally to rescue magazine volume 5 issue 3-Womans World Nov 2010 issue

Watch for the story about Fandango in Purina Rally for rescue magazine. This should be on the web site anytime.
9/28/2010 I went to visit Fandango one more time. We had photo's taken for Woman's world. I knew this would be the last time I seen my buddy. He is doing well and looks nice and healthy.I know his family takes good care of him. He was a favorite of mine and I'll always think about him.

Fandango was rescued by many but lives here waiting for a home in New Hampshire. When I first seen him on a video that was passed around by animal lovers. I could not get him off my mind.
He screamed to me and I got him here. He was in bad shape. Demodex mange, heart worms, a tumor, thin for is build, one of his ears was cut half off. He had a long history no one knew what and because Georgia has many dog fighting problems who knows what he has lived through. But he's here now. Has never even raised his lip at anything. He's a easy going guy. That loves people. I think he had his first belly rub here. He looked at me like what are you doing? Next thing I know, he's plopped over looking at me, I think I like this. Sense then he has trusted me. He was a big ham at the vets getting his treatments for mange. When he left he acted like he went to the spa. Everyone there learned to like him and when he came in they all new him. He has had the tumor removed and now is looking years younger.


He has been here sense April, other then getting fat,he is healthy. He was all crazy when I came home from work tonight with a big bag of stuffed animals someone gave me. One by one the dogs here grabbed one and ran to there room. It go's up in the air, carring it around. He was happy and he always makes sure you know it.

I will miss this guy if he ever dose get adopted. Off to another new life,but I never saved him to keep him and if theres a perfect place out there for him, I'll be happy for him. If he never gets adopted then maybe it was ment to be that way.

He is now 70 pounds and when he runs to great me I move out of the way. Like a bull charging at me it seems. He has slowly gotton better walking and has his spurts of running. Not 100% but he's doing good. After trying to catch Roxi my little Amstaff that is as fast as a grayhound, he just plops in the dirt and watches.


He seems to get along okey with dogs here,he has not been with them all because some of the boys are very serios and don't want to be poked at and some are the young pokers. I'm not sure what he can deal with and don't want to test him to much. I have a few males here that don't get along with each other but get along with females.
He enjoys this farm we just moved to, plenty of room to walk around. Lay in the sun and just watch.
Once in a while I hear him start his howling. Its starts off real soft and then next 11 dogs join in. It's kinda funny.

He has learned to trust me and others that have visited. I think someone said this week he goosed her in the butt when she was doing something. Once he got into my cusin truck and would not get out. He wanted a ride.

One thing I can say about this boy is that I will never forget him. I will always remember Fandango. He is one of a kind. We wont ever know his past but I do know his future will be great no matter where he is.
I have never had any interested adopters for him yet. I also have other dogs that have never had an application. The right place for him is out there. but if the right place is here then thats where he will be. Thanks for reading and when his story is up on Rally for rescue magazine I'll be sure to post it. :)

Thank you to all that helped this guy. He was worth it :)

Great New Series on Animal Planet "Pit Bulls and Parolees* A must see!

Villalobos rescue in CA invites the world to to visit, the biggest Pitbull rescue of 200 dogs. On Animal planet fridays at 10pm.
I watched in tears like I've know them and the Pit bulls all my life and many great points were made that most Pitbull rescues know about when adopting a pit bull out.
Opening introducing the crew that spends many hours taking care of all these dogs and each dog unique looking for a perfect match for adoption is slim to none. Sometime we just get lucky, like fait took over.
Being into pitbull rescue myself with dogs here of my own waiting for homes, I could feel there pain when a almost perfect match for a great dog falls apart because the person rents. I've been there manytimes myself. "It's "Just how it rolls" As the crew says and keeps moving on with the chores that need to be done. Almost like "the show must go on" I wont give away last nights show because its a must see for everyone.
I can't wait to watch all the shows and big Thumbs up to The Villalobos rescue for being a voice for the best breed there is in my eyes.
Not only educating the public on the abuse and neglect these dogs deal with, but the heart and soul of a pitbull when it rises back from it. They are still happy to hear a hello from someone they know. Wagging there tail like you are the best thing in the world.
I will never say everyone should be a pitbull owner but I will say if you want a dog that will love you until it dies, be strong inside and out, and you can deal with a 60 pound puppy. Then go to the shelter and look. Every other kennel has them. Be smart and don't adopt unless you plan on being a parent for life. These dogs love there owner and are heart broken when left behind. Most people that have ever had one knows this breed and with training and a firm grip of your teenager they will make you proud and you will never forget that dog your whole life. A Smile of a pitbull is really a smile :)
Thanks for doing this show for all the bullies. You may save some lives all over the US even if it's just a few it's better then yesterday.

Welcome!
Some may know me, some may not, but we must have the same interests or you would not be here.
I was posting bulletins on myspace for over 3 years when Tom changed the way bulletins are reposted and with everything else going on I stop posting.
I have moved to a new town, still unpacking and still have many rescued dogs that need homes.
Each one has there own thing going on, all very unique.
I Have had the “Don’t dump that dog!” Sense the first year on myspace when I realized the over crowded shelters in many states that are all put down everyday.
The amount of dogs people are just to lazy to work with and take the time to train. The cute pup is not cute chewing on your shoe? Or your dog tried to a tree 24/7 bites?
Every email has a heartbreaking story of a dog in need. I can’t save them all!
I can pass them on to rescues that may be able to help. Most are in the same boat as I am. No space..
I’ve been fostering almost 3 years and that’s what’s in need the most with every rescue I know from NH to CA. Funds for vets visits are also needed.
I’m collecting sweat shirts for bedding during the winter months. They are easy to clean and they kinda like them. Maybe cause it makes them feel like they are with us.
I have a website floating on the web Dontdumpthatdog.com It has not been updated in a long time. I will need to redo the whole thing. So it’s a job I don’t have time for right now.

My dogs here at the moment are Spence, Willy, Shayla, Mini Moo, Lexi, Fandango, Stanley, Skyla & my own are, Casper, Roxi, and Du-dad.
Most are pit bulls or mixes of them. Each have a story, Each have a personality of it’s own.
All can be viewed with profile for adoption on adoptapet.com in Raymond NH
