Rescues working together

Here at Ohio Pet Placement, we take all breeds, all problems and give any length of time needed for placement.  It is rare that we cannot place an animal.  However, a time comes when you are not being fair to that animal you are rescuing.

Recently, we've become pretty familiar with fellow rescue group Multiple Breed, hopefully it has been as beneficial to them as it has been us.  For only the third time ever in 5 years, we sent two of our dogs to anothe rescue, Multiple Breed.  It isn't because we give up on them, actually, it's just the opposite, we want to give them EVERY chance possible. 

George is now successfully in a foster home after displaying horrible cage aggression.  I hope pleasant time in a home results in many years of unconditional love for him.

Fat Frankie is still Fat Frankie, but maybe he'll lose some weight and if not, maybe the exercise will chill him out a bit! 

You probably won't hear many examples of this type of working together but maybe someday soon it will be the norm.

Thanks Amy.

It's raining Sharpies!!!

You know all you have to do is ask for it!?  Last summer I was on a puppy kick, I NEEDED a Shar-Pei puppy, well two of them!  I was posting on facebook, talking about it, I really needed it.  Well, for those of you that don't know, I got exactly what I asked for!  I not only got a Shar-Pei puppy, he came to me on a rescue call. 

I was having the worst day ever and unlike every other day, I decided NOT to screen my calls.  Well, damn good thing, I had a call from someone that found a pure black Shar-Pei puppy in the road.  Yeah right, can't be possible, it's probably a mastiff or something.  Hah!  Not only was he a pure bred, he was 3 months old!  How does that even happen?  It was the most stressful week ever, because I had to do the right thing, call the police, call the pound, etc.  Well, he soon became officially unclaimed and mine!  I asked, I received!  Yes, I did go out and get my second puppy and they are both growing up happy with my pack!

The thing is, they keep on coming!  Every hotline I open, every email I get from fellow rescuers, Shar-pei and more Shar-pei!  Only the best breed ever!

We take all breeds in at Ohio Pet Placement but if you came through today, you might start to wonder!

Ah well, just wanted to share!
