Rocco Rolled and Came Back Home!

We loved this story about Rocco the NYC beagle who was missing for 5 years and was reunited with his family.  The families daughter says it’s an answer to prayer…plus he was microchipped! http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/features/mutts/blog/2008/07/rocco_rolled_nyc_beagle_found.html

Pam’s Pals – Blacky

Blacky

Today’s Pam’s Pal is Blacky, a two-year-old Labrador retriever from Animal Humane Society’s (AHS) Golden Valley facility.
 
Blacky is a beautiful boy who came to AHS after his family determined caring for a pet was too much responsibility. But that doesn’t change the fact that Blacky loves family — he’s lived with kids and other animals. He’s full of energy and has affection for everyone. Blacky is looking for his next great family who can provide the time and attention he needs to live a happy life.   
 
Blacky will soon be joined on the adoption floor by animals displaced by the floods in Iowa. A team from AHS recently spent a week in Cedar Rapids assisting Cedar Valley Humane Society in caring for animals displaced by the recent flood disasters. They returned to Cedar Rapids yesterday, July 14, to pick up 27 dogs and 22 cats remaining after the deadline passed for people to reclaim their pets.

Kathie Johnson, veterinary services director for AHS, led the team in Iowa. “The work was challenging at times, but I think every one of us agrees that when you think about what these people and these pets have been through, it’s all worth it and we are all very proud to be a part of this.”

Throughout the week the team was busy caring for and reuniting the animals with their families. In one particular case, the owner, devastated by the flood, was only able to claim one of her cats. The cat left behind, Kandy, arrived with the team in Golden Valley on July 14. “She is a sweet cat and is a true victim of this disaster,” states Johnson.

The Iowa animals will join the hundreds of other animals already at AHS’s five facilities waiting for a new home. It will be at least two weeks before they are available for adoption. Learn more about them and Blacky by calling 763-522-4325 or visiting www.animalhumanesociety.org.
