RESCUED AUSSIES

RESCUED AUSSIES

Dear Kerrie,

I thought that I would pass along another rescue success story. I

think that you will remember me from when I adopted a rescue dog named

Jack some years ago. We lost Jack in May of this year. He had a good

life with us, but the loss left a big hole in my heart.

I inquired of Rescue whether they had any prospects. Carol Jablonski

told me that Small Dog Rescue in Princeton NJ had just taken in a

young male who had been picked up by animal control. The next day we

were on our way to Princeton.

Rusty must have been on the street for a while. He was emaciated and

the fleas had irritated his skin so much that he was bald on the top

of his head. But he was friendly, and got along with our German

Shepherd, so we decided to adopt him. It took over a month to get his

health problems solved but today he is a happy, healthy wonderful

little guy. He is incredibly affectionate and playful, and loves to

lie in my lap while I am working at the computer. He sleeps on the

bed at night and takes great joy in greeting his mommy with kisses

when I start stirring in the morning. He is a wonderful addition to

my life.

I am attaching a picture of Rusty, and you may use it on your web site

if you wish. Thank you for all of your wonderful work.

This is Dollie, who was picked up wandering the streets in a resort town north of Chicago. She was a mess when she was turned over to Carole Larsen of Aussie Rescue in that area. This is one of those "meant to be" stories - I had just contacted Susan Saulvester in my area about adopting a terrier; Carole called Susan to request help in placing Dollie. After investigation all around, Dollie and Carole arrived in Atlanta - that's right, Carole escorted the dog to be sure she was getting a proper home.

Now, not only do I have two new "people" friends, but Dollie is very similar to a picture of a little red dog I had posted on my refrigerator after I had decided it was time to adopt a new dog. (my Yorkie had died at age 19 and it was hard.) Dollie is just like the little red dog I fell for in the picture. WOW - a small miracle but definitely a miracle. By the way I got to name her Dollie and it fits - she is a doll. In this picture she is standing on her hind legs trying to see what I'm doing with that camera. Curious little dog.

THANK YOU AUSSIE RESCUE!

Sincerely,

Martha Moore

BEETLE

These two Aussies Beetle and Beau were found in a shelter in New Jersey

BUSTER

Just a year ago, Buster spent a brief time with us, a

stopover on his way to his forever home. A member of the

MO-23, "Red Male #5" arrived with bleeding teeth, worms,

coccidiosis, flea bites, ear mites, infected eyes and broken

toes. To his credit, he was always a good sport. Aussies

are like that. After a brief layover with us, his most

immediate medical problems were resolved and Buster went to

his new home to be fattened up and to enjoy his rightful

inheritance, that of man's best friend. Have a good life,

Buster.

AMANDA MONDAY

Her physical condition was not as terrible as that of others

from the MO-23, although vet records show that Amanda had

infected teeth, infected ears (she had to be anesthetized in

order to clean them), coccidiosis, hookwork and whipworm.

Most heartbreaking was her emotional condition. We

described her as catatonic. Amanda's eyes were flat and

expressionless. When trapped (the only way to pick her up),

she would huddle into the tiniest little black ball

possible. She lived her life in a state of anxiety,

watching and waiting for something terrible to happen.

It should be noted that, although she came with AKC papers

attesting to the fact that she is an Australian Terrier,

Amanda is probably a Schipperke mix. It should also be

noted that, since she had no idea how to be a dog, and her

role models were Tyler and Jordan, bona fide Australian

Terriers, Amanda is now pretty close to being an Aussie, if

not in conformation then in spirit.

Amanda has spent the past year learning to trust. She now

sleeps on the bed, lays beside me vocalizing her need for

attention ("NOW, please"), runs to me when called

(usually-as I said, she learned from Aussies), and

graduated from obedience school.

After spending a year with us as our "foster dog" Amanda's

status was recently upgraded to that of permanent resident.

Welcome home, Amanda.

Most respectfully,

Deborah Wolbac
