Stray dog with Cares4Pets volunteers. First steps out of the woods!

Thought you would like the success story below! Hope you are having a great summer!

Here are pics from the rescue this past Thursday night. This poor female pit was tied to a tree deep in the woods. Cares4Pets volunteers coaxed her to walk up the path by putting two leads around her neck which kept her between them. They then dropped food for her to eat as she move forward. My dog Oscar (a rescue also) was instrumental in keeping her calm, and led the way out of the woods. By the time we got her to the car she was giving us kisses! Oscar came home beaming with pride!

Tony named her Brooke since she was found next to water.

Brooke is so exited to be rescued!

Brooke doggie likes the treats and attention

Oporation Ava in conjunction with Doggie Style pet stores donated a truckload  of dog food and treats to six dog rescue organizations in the Philadelphia area.     The grateful rescues received enough food and treats to feed their rescue and foster pets for several months.

Oporation Ava in conjunction with Doggie Style pet stores donated several months of food and treats to five senior citizen struggling to feed their pets.   Thanks to this donation of food and treats, the senior citizens in need can care for and keep their best friend healthy and happy.

Here are the puppies in the shelter in NC.

Wait until you all see the puppies that will soon be available for adoption through Oporation Ava! They were born on February 1, 2010. There are 6 boys and 1 girl, poor thing stuck with all of those boys. They are an adorable mix of shepherd and boxer. The momma dog’s owner did not want them. So, shortly after they were born, they were dropped off at Animal Care Services in Greenville, NC, a shelter with one of the shortest holding periods on the eastern seaboard. There they were wormed and examined and given their first puppy shots. They were pulled right before their last day in the shelter by Help Save One rescue and taken to Rhode Island for foster care. The very next week, the foster home was flooded.

Oporation Ava previously worked with Help Save One when they needed help feeding their rescued pups, so we donated food so they could all eat. Oporation Ava offered to foster and care for these 7 puppies until their adoption here in PA. In the very very early morning hours of April 22, 2010, they came to us and got cleaned up and some much needed rest. This afternoon they are moving to Doggie Style’s Passyunk store where they will get to play in the old doggie daycare area. Next week on they will receive more shots and have another deworming. Three are already neutered. The rest will be done in the next 2 weeks.

After all of their vetting is done, they will be available for adoption to great new homes. The adoption donation is $300 which covers rescue, transport, food, foster, veterinary care, including spaying and neutering, and microchipping. Any funds left will be used to help rescue more dogs and cats and help pay for life saving surgeries for sick dogs and cats.

Come to to the store at 1700 E. Passyunk to meet them and see them play. Come back here soon to see the individual pups and their new pictures and profiles!
