Newly Adopted on 4.29.09, Gizmo was surrendered to our local shelter by his former owners after 5-years with them. They claimed he was 11 years old (no way), and not compatible with humans, cats, or other dogs (wrong). This profile was essentially a death warrant at an overpopulated Kill-Shelter. His days were numbered when he came to the attention of ValuePetSupplies Customer Relations and Rescue Advocate, Samantha Carter. Luckily for Gizmo, Samantha's sister-in-law, Terry Carter, was in town and was looking for an older dog to be a companion for her elderly chihuahua-terrier mix, Moxie. After a week of fostering with Nick, Sam, Lefty, Lucy and three cats Junior, JJ, and Mr. Pink - Gizmo was found to be a real sweetheart that did enjoy chasing cats a bit, but was otherwise a well behaved member of the pack. Nick buzzed his nails for what must have been the first time in his life. At first he howled like a kid getting his first haircut, but by the end he was relaxed and happy. Gizmo is on his way to Vermont to meet Moxie and settle into his new life of being spoiled rotten. We'll miss you Giz!
Lefty & Lucy Started Everything!
Lefty & Lucy belong to ValuePetSupplies Rescue
Advocates, Samantha & Nick Carter. Lucy was adopted in 2006, then
Lefty in 2007. Lucy was abandoned by her prior owner after a life
of neglect. Lefty was found wandering the streets alone with a
microchip that hinted at a prior life, but alas his prior owners were
unreachable.
These awesome pets are now enjoying a wonderful life as beloved
members of the ValuePetSupplies.com family. They are what
launched our mission to help rescue organizations place pets
into adoption, and they regularly assist in fostering rescues for
adoption.
