Eli was a wreck when he entered the shelter as a stray in January 2009. He was so nervous that he had to be carried out of the kennels for a walk (and at 60lbs thats no easy task). With the help of caring staff & volunteers, Eli came out of his shell, and his true loving personality became apparent. Unfortunately, due to his size he was being overlooked by many people. When it came to our attention that he'd been at the shelter over a month, and Shepherd Rescue could not help due to full capacity, outreach started in earnest. Through Samantha's network of contact's (& a lot of luck), Eli was brought to the attention of a wildlife rehabilitator who'd recently lost her male shepherd. It was fate. Eli is now sharing his life with a female shepherd, a cat & 2 gopher tortoises.
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.
