Sammi and kids
Sammi was born minus a paw. It gave him no less of a personality and once his new family found him they agreed. They were willing to work with the barking at people and the quirks that come when you integrate a new family member and they have a beautiful addition now. One picture says it all, eh?

Thank God for Abbie
Well, this girl came to us not on the wings of victory and it was the 5th home that was the charm for her. Not for anything she lacked, this girl was returned 4 times before she found happily ever after. As you can see her parents are seasoned dog people and they love her. She has blossomed into a very content and loveable girl who knows a family again. Thanks for all the prayers for a new home, it came.

Adi is home
How lucky are we and is Adi that we found her a family in town. The moment we got the call we knew her new mom and dad were ready for their new addition. She follows her mom around and is spoiled rotten. Sounds like the perfect ending to a rescue story to me. Despite her rough beginning our chihuahua girl has a loving home, don't breed or buy, rescue your next baby~~~

Tyra finds her own family
Tyra came to us from Missouri where she was in a puppy mill situation her whole life. At 8 years old she was timid and wanted to bond only with the dogs in our house. We got her in November of 08 and just figured she would be here for the rest of her life but in January of 10 we got a call from a lady named Kris that wanted to meet her. She came with her husband and even though she wasn't able to handle her decided she wanted to give her a home of her own. As you can see she isn't the only canine but in a small pack she is thriving. We can't believe the change in our little peanut that they renamed Barrel (because of her shape) and thank God for people like the Lorch's that will give a girl a chance.

Jillian and Joe
Jillian came to me from VA where she had been rescued, vetted and was just languishing with no interest in her. Beagles are a dime a dozen down south so we had her brought up here. We found a lump in her leg that was cancer but took it out and she was active and ready to find a new home. Joe called us and fell in love. He wanted to give her the home that she deserved so off she went and she is now the lady of the house.

Leo, our old fella gets a Mom
This little fellow came to us from a very undesirable situation and when he arrived we were saddened to see the condition he was in. At 14 years old, a lifetime of substandard vet care had him experiencing things he needn't have to. We fixed him up as best we could and just figured he would be here forever. But God had bigger plans, had a call from a retired teacher in town that was looking for a dog that needed love. We scooped him up and brought him over and it has been a love match for sure. Both of them have thrived from knowing each other and we know we have done what was meant to be. Thanks to all that support us, another baby saved and in a loving forever home.

Lucy and Rebecca
I met Rebecca through an old Maltese named Mutley that was one of my first official rescues. She became a treasured friend from our first meeting and we still continue to have our paths cross through rescue. She contacted me about a baby shih tzu that had been diagnosed with some problems and needed a rescue. I took her and within a day or so the poor thing started to loose ground. She just sat there apathetic and unresponsive. Upon learning all that had been done to her in a short period of time, shots, flea prevention, etc, it became apparent that she needed to be detoxed and just one dose of a homeopathic remedy and she was a puppy~ All that they thought was wrong with her was hog wash so I got ready to find her a home. My heart continued to tell me Rebecca should have her so I called her and happily she admitted that she really did want her but thought she had too many dogs already. And there you have it, beautiful puppy and mom living in a lovely apartment in Manhattan with sisters and brothers so that she will never be lonely.

Nissa found her family
Well, my little old girl from Hartford found herself a home. Julie from RI saw her while scrolling on petfinder and fell in love. Seems the last love of her life could have been her brother~ she had a little chi named Tony that was her twin. She sent me a picture of him and I almost fell over, so she has the next best thing, our little Nissa. She will have a house full of siblings and not only canine as Julie rescues and helps more than our furred friend so we know she will never be lonely. The best kind of ending for SARAH RESCUE, thank you Julie for making our little Nissas dream and ours come true.

REBA
I had this old beagle girl since November of last year and thought she was with me for life but lo and behold, she hit lotto this week. She came from Ohio originally and made it to a rescue in upstate NY where I saw her online and had to have her as her resemblance of Luca was scary. I had all her medical needs met and knew she was too healthy to stay here and deserved a real home of her own. She was put in the Stratford Star this past week and also went to an adoption event at Best Friends in Norwalk and the best thing happened, she found a home. A wonderful woman named Judy in Stratford called and came over and fell in love. She had all sorts of plans for her and just wanted to take her home that day. I thought it over, checked out her application and delivered her there this afternoon. The deal isn't sealed yet but it looks like a home for our girl is finally here.

Toby's second chance
Toby came to us last year around Thanksgiving time when his owner was put in a assisted living facility. He has lived his whole life with her and was used to a quite life. Upon joining us Toby was overwhelmed by the activity so we started our search for a quiet home for him where he could be spoiled like he was used to. Lynn called us and had been on line looking for the perfect dog to add to her animal menagerie and fell in love with Toby's picture. They came down from MA and scooped him up for a two week trial and just yesterday I talked to her and it is a done deal, Toby has a new home. Don't they all just look so good together?

Kaylee and her new life
Kaylee came to us from WV back in 04 a month after Jude arrived. Her littermate was kicked to death and she had been kicked so many times in the head that she couldn't lift her head, food wouldn't stay in her mouth and she was having seizures. She arrived via Metro North and my good friend Dena was the one that transported her to me. She was apathetic and very sweet when she arrived and Jude found her and laid next to her every waking moment. She needed surgery to remove the head of her hip as that had been kicked out of the socket and we believed that this would be her home for life. Melanie met her early on and told me again and again over the years that if she could be rehomed she would love to have her. We did acupuncture, high quality diet and some supplements and our girl rallied and then some. The last year here she was running circles around the others and left Jude in the dust most days. It was in September of 07 that I looked at her and knew that it was time, she was too well to be here so I called Melanie and as soon as she could arrange it she came and got her. She is now upstate in a lovely home with 6 other beagle boys and girls and a huge fenced lot. She fit in like she belonged there, and that is what we want for all those that can find forever homes. Kaylee we miss you but know you have the best life imaginable.

Bubba boy makes 5
If you knew the Andrews like I know the Andrews you wouldn't be suprised but I still was when they offered to take their 3rd beagle from us breaking the record of two when they took two. Bubba. a senior beagle boy who was close to 50 pounds when he came here from NJ in 05 has now pared down to the 30 something pound range and is living on a few beautiful acres in the country with his lovely family. When I come to visit he gets sullen as he is afraid he is coming back but I have real video of him playing with toys, who would have figured this boy had that much life left in him. Goes to show you, adopt a senior dog and watch everyones' quality of life increase.

Maisey is home at last!
We had our Maisey over a year and a half so when we advertised her in our local weekly paper we didn't think we would find anyone willing to give her that final spot in their life. Lo and behold God had other things in store and we got a call from a senior fella named Vincent. Seems he lost his little Chihuahua and was looking for an old gal just like our Maisey. He came to see her and took her home that day. We are so happy when we can give our older girls a home of their own where they can get that one on one. Thank you Vincent.

Isadore's new life
Isadore came to us from rural VA where her handicap was being a hound in an area where adoptions were far and few between. She filled the house with energy and though we only had her a short while we fell in love with her. This made it so nice when we got a call from a perfectly wonderful couple from up the coast who lost their own dog after a long life and were looking to love another furry child. They met her and decided this was their destiny and they are all living together happy as can be.

Little Wasbi has a home
This is our Maltese boy that was rescued from the city streets where he was thrown from a car. Hypothyroid caused most of his hair to fall out but with medication and good nuttrition he rallied and started looking for a home. Debbie and Mario got wind of his plight and stepped in, swooped him up and fell in love. As you can see, he is in good company and we know that he will have a happy life from here on in. Thank you Deb and Mario for seeing him as the perfect little boy that he is. Wasabi is the little white one closest to the camera with the belly band on.

Lilly and fate
We got Lilly from a Crematorium that had gotten her after the owners got frustrated with her medical issues. Protein absorption problems had cost them alot of money and no hope for a healthy life. We got her, got her on a holistic diet and found her to be a wonderful loving dog that deserved a great home. Craig, Pam and their corgi Lexi thought so too and since Lexi had the same diet because of her allergies they thought it no big deal to cook for two. They all got along from the beginning, yes, a few snarls but nothing the girls couldn't work out and we couldn't be happier. We wish the whole family a long healthy happy life together. God had a hand in this one!

Nora and her happy ending
Our old beagle girl came from Up State NY where she sat in a Humane Society with little chance for adoption. We took her in and just hoped that she would live out the rest of our lives here so you can imagine our suprise when Rob and Jayne along with their precious Sophie responded to our desire for a new home for Nora. They all met and it was the fastest adoption on record for us, love at first sight. Thank you Rob and Jayne for giving our girl a wonderful loving home.

Lisa has a family
This 8 year old poodle mix came from VA with a life long canine sister that was so ill that she didn't last a month. Lisa became depressed and didn't mix with the other dogs choosing to sleep on my bed during the day and cuddle with me at night. I had a few interested people but no one who would commit to a girl with a sensitive heart and a patient person who would let Lisa build trust. Enter Colleen, Donalds new mom's Lynns sister and it was all over. She took her home and all four of them are living and loving life. I got a Christmas picture of Donald as an elf and Lisa as Mrs Claus and it warmed my heart, just to get the chance for these guys to have their own homes is worth saving them all. Thanks you Canavan girls!

Melissa and her mom
This 3 year old beagle mix (who everyone thinks is part elf with the ears) came here from Ohio where she was almost bald from flea infestation. Some vet care, baths and good food and we were good to go. So little to give and so much back. Melissa has found her home where her mom says she was the only thing missing from her life. Sounds like a perfect place for Melissa to be, adopt a rescue dog, you can't go wrong.

Loveys new life
One look at this family and it looks complete. That little bundle in her mothers arms is their SARAH adoptee Lovey. Blind and a senior too this girl was also from the breeder/hoarder and lived in the basement. We had her health needs met and sat and waited until Debbie and Jan found her and once we spoke to them we knew Lovey had found doting parents to care for her. Happily ever after is written all over this story!

Donalds second chance
Donald came from a hoarder/breeder who had 79 of his breed in her home. She kept the "imperfects" in the basement and Donald fit the bill. Flea infested, undiagnosed hypothyroid and clogged tear ducts along with neurological problems that made it near impossible to stand, our boys future looked grim. A lovely gal Belinda contacted me and we gladly took him, got him clean, on meds for the thyroid, fed him well with supplements and got his eyes together and we were good to go. He even had gained enough movement to go up and down the stairs himself. Now enter Lynn looking for a new family member and POW, we had a love match. As you can see by the look in their eyes God brought these two together and for as long as time permits they will live happily ever after.

Cindy has a home~
Cindy came to us as an owner surrender with a 5 pound tumor on her overfed body. We thought for sure that she would be here for life so we set out to get her health together. We had blood work and x rays done and had Dr Steckel look at her. Surgery was an option so we had it done and she did wonderfully and was starting to make a quick recovery when we took her on an inpromptu ride to an adoptors home to see how our Fiona was doing. Upon meeting her they fell in love with her and after a whirl wind courtship adopted Cindy into their perfectly beagle home. Jeff and Barbara are our stellar beagle parents and we love and appreciate their eye for the perfect amongst the breed. Cindy has her castle and is treated like a queen.

Me and Luca
This was the beginning of a whole new world for me. I met Luca in May of 1999 and could not get her out of my mind and heart until she was safely in my home and out of the shelter where she found me. This picture was us in 2003, when her health was not so much an issue. Adopting a senior dog with health issues was the most complete experience of my life and my heart is still broken that she is gone from me.
