Violet is a
4-1/2 year old spayed female
who had an Alaskan malamute
mother and a wanderlust sire.
She is a low maintenance,
very sweet , well behaved,
obedient girl. She would really
like to be an 'only' pet as
she would love undivided love
and does not always get along
well with other animals. Violet
is very well house trained
as well as crate trained.
She enjoys swimming in the
pool. Violet is currently
in the Ft. Lauderdale area.
Are you her new family???

Notes
from the Coordinator
Hi All,
Just wanted
to share these pictures &
story with you.
This is Moose. He is a giant
that is 3yrs old. Moose lost
his back leg to cancer about
5 months ago. He gets around
the house and the back yard
to do his business ok. But
because of his size that back
leg just can't carry him so
he can get the exercise he
needs. I took Moose in to
rescue about 5 weeks ago.
My family has fallen hard
for him. He is such a great
loving boy. His owner/ Dad
just couldn't keep him he
is a Capt. with Southwest
airlines and was being transferred
back to AZ. He said the Moose
spent way too much time in
doggie daycare and deserved
a home with people that would
love on him and that he could
love on. Well guess what he
found that at my house!
So anyway my point. I started
doing some research on the
Internet. ( everyone should
be proud of me because I'm
not very bright when it comes
to the computer) I found out
that they make doggie wheelchairs
or doggie carts as they are
sometimes called. I emailed
about 5 different company's.
All of which said that they
could not help by donating
a cart unless they had one
that was Mooses size. But
Moose is huge and none had
one that big. The cost to
make a cart for him was between
$600 & $700. Some of the
companies said that they could
give me a discount. But I
still could not afford a cart.
To make a long story short.
About 2 weeks later Leslie
from Eddie's Wheels in Shelburne
Falls MA called to tell me
that an Angel sent her a check
for $500. and she could use
it on any dog that she chose
to help. Well she chose my
big guy..... All I had to
pay for was the shipping which
was way over $100. but so
worth it.
I hope you enjoy the pictures.
& if we can thank Leslie
@ Eddie's wheels in anyway
please do.
Our dogs are all
neutered or spayed, which means
you won't have to pay that cost
(typically $100 - $200), or
deal with the many health and
behavioral issues that can arise
with intact dogs.
We tell you everything
we know about our dogs, the
good and the bad. We don't adopt
out dogs that are aggressive
to people.
Our dogs have
received all their shots, are
heartworm negative, and are
in good health. If a dog has
health issues, we tell you what
they are. If the dog had health
issues, we'll tell you about
that, too.
We know our dogs:
their personalities, their likes
and dislikes, and their character.
Our knowledge of our dogs makes
it easy for us to make a good
match for you, and give you
a dog that will fit your lifestyle.
A
back yard breeder or a pet store
is much more interested in getting
your money than they are making
sure your new dog is a good fit
for you and your family. If the
person you buy your Malamute from
doesn't ask you many questions
about yourself, ask for your vet's
phone number to see if you're
a responsible pet owner, visit
your house, or have you sign a
contract stipulating you'll return
the dog to them if necessary,
THEN YOU ARE NOT BUYING A DOG
FROM A REPUTABLE BREEDER!
Pet store dogs come from puppy
mills, where the mother dogs are
bred over and over until they
finally die. As you can imagine,
their pups are not very healthy
and are not socialized.
We are always available for questions,
training suggestions, and follow-up
of any sort. A back yard breeder
or a pet store employee are not
going to help you at all with
your new dog.
Although this is seldom necessary,
we take our dogs back. In fact,
the adoption contract you sign
requires you to return the dog
to us if you can no longer keep
him or her.
If you're looking for a rescued
dog, you probably already know
the value of saving a life and
understand the joy you'll find
in watching your adopted dog blossom
under your care. You also probably
know that millions of dogs are
killed every year by state and
county animal shelters throughout
the U.S. due to lack of space
in the shelters. These dogs are
killed by injections, by being
shot, or by being shoved into
a gas chamber with dozens of other
dogs.
