Mick came to me this year in July. He is 12 years old and is a very very sweet old guy. I knew his owner, who passed away suddenly and with no one to continue his care we agreed to take him. She talked about him with such love whenever I would see her. Just before she passed away he had an incident where she thought he had gotten overheated and collapsed. They could not diagnose it at her vets office. He has symptoms similar to vestibular but it is not getting better. He circles a bit and tilts his head. He is almost blind and has severe dry eye so we clean and lubricate his eyes multiple times a day. We feel because doesn’t always circle, he can find his food bowl, and he likes being in the house we just take it a day at a time. When he is outside he sits and just enjoys the day. His quality of life is good.

Elizabeth (left, 10 years old) and Enid (right, 12 years old) a bonded Mom and Daughter, were rescued out of a puppy mill in Georgia where they spent their lives producing puppies. Once they were not useful they were dumped at a local shelter. Luckily for them and us Rescue Dogs Rock NYC (our heroes) pulled them and we learned of them through petfinder.com. The rest is history. They have the old age issues most small dogs that weren’t cared for have, but now they have a home where we will keep them warm, fed loved and together. These senior Chihuahuas will live their life out with us.

Allie is an approximately 10 year old Chihuahua female that is very small in size but large in personality. She came up from the south through our Rescue Dogs Rock NYC friends. She was found in horrible condition and had a hernia repair that didn’t end up working and only has one eye with vision as a result of her past. When she arrived she left that part of her life behind. I was only supposed to foster her but one day here and she had stolen my heart. Despite her size she takes no guff from the others and once she is in my lap doesn’t want to leave. How is it that these precious babies who suffer at the hands of humans turn around and trust again. All we know is she will NEVER have to experience anything going forward but full food and water bowls, soft beds and loving hands.

Kevin is a 5 month old male French Bull dog who was a local owner surrender. As he grew they noticed his incontinence plus a wiggly back end which might end up being spina bifida. Unable to work and care for him they entrusted this angel with us. We are now in the process of finding that out through MRI/CT Scan if this is the condition he has. He is an amazing gentle puppy who likes to get in trouble like they all do. He does zoomies in the yard and loves his brothers and sisters. We will do all we can to try to improve his quality of life with whatever condition he has. His condition is not progressive but as he grows his spine might cause him additional paralysis and pain. That is why we are investigating options for a potential surgery. Follow SARAH RESCUE on facebook to see Fundraisers and the progress he makes.

Ariel came to us in October of 2018. She is a year old female terrier mix. She weights about 25 pounds. She was rescued from LA when a woman found her in May dragging her legs in their backyard, they suspect a hit by a car. Their vet had a grim diagnosis so she reached out to a rescue who brought her to CT. After they got their specialists involved and her treatment had begun my cousin Glenn reached out to me and asked if I could help. I met her and instantly fell in love. No purer a love than a young dog that has not known abuse, this girl doesn't know she is different, she just wants to be a puppy and to get love. She is now ours and we are working toward seeing how much healing can be done for Ariel. She is getting top notch treatment, food, supplements and has had all her needs met. We have a link on this website to our wish list on Amazon if you feel so compelled to help us in any way. Her progress will be marked on our SARAH RESCUE Facebook page so like that if you want to stay up to date. You can never underestimate the power of love in the healing process.

Theresa came to me from a private person in Virginia in 2009 at 12 weeks old. She was born without a fully formed front right paw so was not able to find a home out of the litter they had. She is a pit mix and a very loving dog. She loves people and has had a very healthy life here with us as part of the SARAH RESCUE sanctuary dogs. She gets a raw diet and plenty of supplements so that the weight bearing on her right shoulder doesn't cause her any problems.

Sadie came here from Manhattan ACC. They were overcrowded, doubling up dogs so I enlisted a friend for help and she pulled her and another dog for me. I am glad I didn’t see her intake as I wouldn’t have taken her. They deemed her aggressive and she truly isn’t. At 11 years old and 45 pounds, this beagle mix wants nothing more than to be loved. She came with a big lump on her side so we had blood work done and when we saw she was healthy enough, we had them remove it. The biopsy was cancer, but a very good prognosis for it returning. He love her, she loves the other dogs and we look forward to many healthy years here with us.

This 14 year old 9 pound sweetheart was the second dog I pulled from a New York shelter and he also was deemed aggressive. He is still a bit nervous but has not shown aggression here. He is happy to be held and hugged and kissed. He was unaltered, had a big cyst on his neck and was bald over a good deal of his body. We had surgery done where they neutered him, removed the cyst and took out 7 teeth. Just getting him in a stress free environment has caused the hair to start growing back. He is learning to be part of a family that loves him and we are so happy to have gotten him here with us. This is him getting his initial check up with Dr Brooks at Snowflake Pet Center in Milford.

Yogi is a 3 year old 8 pound male beagle, JRT mix. He came from GA where he wasn’t taken care of well. Another rescue pulled him and treated him for heartworm and once we heard about him we asked if he couldn’t come and live with us. He came here needing some R & R and has completed that part of the program. He is loving and very sweet. He also has become best friends with Ariel, which makes us happy as she needed a younger dog to keep her mind and body active. Yogi is a chill southern boy who loves to eat and hang out on the trash can.
