Comment on Boomer’s 2nd Chance at Life by jeff Corbett

What a great story! I rescued a Mal litterally off the streets of Memphis back in May- laying in the middle of the road with a broken leg. Initially she was kinda shy, and showed some signs of confinement and abuse, but now she is just vibrant. WE see quite a few people who at first approach are quite affraid of her, and I think it’s a combination of two things- the wolf face and the- well- effervescence- she just runs to greet people. That’s probablly what the shelter folks saw and mis took from aggression. My girls, Elah, the whole time this strange guy was shuttling her around and more strange guys were poking on her hurt leg, she NEVER< EVER< EVER lost her composure or showed any threat. Glad to hear yours is coming along nicely.

I would recommend that you visit our main website at ABMC Rescue. Look in the left column for S Central Region to see dogs available in that Region. You might also check the Southeast Region to see if there are any dogs within a reasonable distance to you. Webmaster ABMC Rescue ABMC Rescue

As Anne says thanks for taking the dogs in! How are they getting on now? It’s absolutely shocking that somebody could neglect such beautiful animals in this way. It’s great that there are people like you out there prepared to take on what can sometimes be an upsetting and difficult challenge. I know that rescue dogs tend to be more nervous than others and take a long time to trust people but if you’re willing to persevere they make fantastic pets. I would always much rather take on a rescue dog than buy a puppy or a pedigree.

This dog breed can be good to look after the house.

Comment on Destra Goes Home!!! by Becky Maddock

Milady Destra came home last night … She almost towed me through the
door of the vet hospital in her eagerness to get out of there! I had
to remind her that I had only two legs to her three, and she needed to
slow down a little for me! Before discharging her, her wonderful vet,
Kathy Batdorf, told me, “I know it will be impossible to keep her
completely quiet, so keep the wound clean, let her run when she really
needs to, and get her to take it easy when you can over the next few
days. And she can’t actually damage anything … The worst she can do
is make herself sore from over-exertion.”

Well … one thing Destra has never been allowed to do is run from the
gate to the house when we get home in the car. I’ve always felt 600
feet of gravel driveway – or even a hard run on pasture, celebrating
the astonishing event of our arrival with the rest of the pack – would
smash up her foot way too much. She’s always had to sit in the back
seat, whining in frustration, while the other dogs ran. So last night
I decided to let her celebrate her return home, and allowed her to get
out of the car when I opened the gate. She was THRILLED! She took off
at a gallop, then turned to look at me in disbelief as if to say, “Can
I REALLY do this?” and then took off again. Needless to say, only
three days after major surgery, she was faster on her three legs than
any of the other dogs was on four.

And yes, she needed a dose of Rimadyl later, and she spent the rest of
the evening on my bed … but it was just so great to be able to give
her that freedom. It was worth a few aches and pains later. What an
amazing girl she is!
