We at Miracles At Work, a non-profit dog rescue and adoption group, in Greensboro, NC, have a very special Shepherd. His name is Levi, and Gail Gentry our founder, has kept him alive despite the veterinarians diagnosis for the past 8 months when he was diagnosed with mega esophagus. He is the same size as now as his other male siblings; she has been blending his food and feeding him separately from the other rescues.
It is now time for him to move on to a special home, one that is equipped and ready to take him on full time with his special needs. Due to our continued efforts to take in rescues and place them in forever homes, we realize we need to place him with someone else that can continue to take care of his special diet away from other dogs. We have been unable to find that special home for him to continue on to, and have had a suggestion from another member of a local rescue group that you may have some connections to place this wonderful dog.
His birthday is 4-22-2009, so he is almost a year old now. Except for the special diet and strict feeding needs, he has no other disablities and is robust and normal.
We would love to find a forever home for this beautiful, wonderful dog!
Please feel free to contact Gail either on her cell phone 336-708-0343 or at her business (just say you are calling about Levi) 336-294-2833. Karen Long

Little Arrow is a 4 yr old, male, blind Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua mix, who was surrendered to our shelter by his owner due to “having accidents” in the house.
Our medical staff soon found out that his increased urination was caused by untreated diabetes. We have since been trying to get him regulated with 2 insulin injections a day. However, the shelter facility is a highly stressful environment for this little guy. He is a very sweet boy that is trying hard to adjust to his situation, but he really needs a stable home and one-on-one love and TLC. He has some insecurities due to the fact that his previous owner “punished” him for accidents in the house.
Please help us find a loving home for this sweet little guy. He does well with other mellow dogs and has no interest in cats.

Harley is a 5 year old, 60 lb, male Catahoula who is looking for a loving family to call his own. He hopes that his congenital vision and hearing impairment will not stop anyone from considering adopting him. He is able to see light/dark contrast out of his left eye and has unilateral hearing, able to hear sounds but having difficulty in locating the source of the sound. Despite these limitations Harley displays confidence and gets around amazingly well. He is very smart and learned to navigate the house and yard within 2 days of staying with his foster family. He can find the water bowl, knows when to step up onto the patio, and can even locate the doggie door to go in and out. Harley rides well in the car and enjoys going for walks. He is gentle and has liked every person he has met. He gets along with some dogs but has not been around children or cats. Harley is housetrained, neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and on heartworm prevention. This charming and handsome guy would love to be your friend!
Harley is currently living in a foster home in Arizona. He is adoptable through Catahoula Rescue, Inc. The website is www.catahoularescue.com. If you are interested in Harley, please contact Bambi at

Bullwinkle is an 8 month old purebred english bulldog with spina bifida.
He was found as a stray in the city of Chicago and we picked him up and he has been in foster for almost three months. He has bowel and bladder incontinence that will never improve.
Bullwinkle is a wonderful, sweet, playful and smart bulldog who doesn't know he has anything wrong with him. He loves all people and all animals. He loves baths and playtime and he runs like the wind. He is a joy to walk on the leash and can learn tricks quickly- he aims to please.
We are looking for a special home for Bullwinkle that can handle his incontinence by utilizing re-useable diapers with suspenders. He is on a regular diet and the only medication he takes is Proin which helps his bladder incontinence.
In every other way he is a perfectly normal- and healthy- bulldog. All of the volunteers at IEBR love him like our very own and we are holding out for a special home for him.

I am currently fostering a six month old English Bulldog named Belly. Belly is the sweetest little girl in the world, but she was born incontinent. Because of overcrowding in her mother's womb, her lower vertebrae's were somehow pinched and she cannot feel the muscles surrounding her bladder or bowels.
We rescued her from being euthanized when she was eight weeks old and have been trying to find her a home ever since. Unfortunately, because of her medical condition, this has proved nearly impossible. Neither can we keep her. Although my husband and I have grown very attached to her, we already have two dogs, five cats, two bunnies, and a baby on the way.
We contacted the local bulldog rescue a couple of months ago for help placing her, but their advice was for us to put her down. I simply cannot let that happen. We are desperate to find her a home. Please, please, please can you help us? Belly deserves a good life and I know that somewhere out there someone is willing to provide that life for her; I just need help finding them.

Angel was rescued from euthanize only days ago. Angel is just that, a pure, innocent and loving Angel. She is severely malnourished, emaciated, a walking skeleton . She has obviously been abused but her heart swells with love; she shares nothing but love for all. After being thoroughly checked out by a vet, she was diagnosed with diabetes, and she has had it for a very long time. Dogs with diabetes usually show loss of a few pounds, but Angel is likely 30 plus pounds underweight… The real miracle is that she is NOT suffering with any organ damage, her renal and liver function are good, she does not have cataracts. Angel is an otherwise healthy 5-6 year old dog.
Angel has a long road of recovery ahead of her, she will have good days and bad days, as she struggles to regain her strength, and her body adjusts to the nourishment she now receives. It took a very long time for her to waste away, and it will take a very long time for her to recover. But Angel, despite all the odds being stacked against her, has an amazing will to live and the miraculous body that has survived the most severe a case of starvation we have ever seen, not to mention the fact that her organs are not damaged from the long term effects of untreated diabetes.

Cookie was dumped by his owner at a high kill and overcrowded shelter. She didn't have enough time to take care of Cookie anymore. Cookie was scheduled to be put to sleep after staying at the shelter for more than 2 months. We rescued him just in time.
He is a very fragile little Chihuahua boy. He is very quiet and loves snuggling with his foster mum. Cookie's best spot is sitting on his foster mum's lap.
He barely makes any noise at home but once he goes for a walk outside he becomes a very different doggy. His gait is amazing. He walks very well on a leash, doesn't pull and walks just like a gentleman.
Due to the stress and lack of warm companionship at the shelter, Cookie is looking for a loving forever family that can help him overcome his fear of loud noises and quick movements.
He is trained to go outside for potty breaks. Cookie was very malnourished when he was rescued from the shelter, but he is slowly gaining a healthy weight. He is estimated to be about 5 years old and now weighs 7 pounds.
We had a complete blood test done when we pulled him from the shelter. The blood test results showed that Cookie's kidney only functioned 35%~40%. Our vet's opinion was that he might have had a urinary stone removal surgery while he was living with his original owner. If a dog's bladder is somewhat damaged, the kidney's function can quickly decrease.
Cookie was strictly fed a special prescription diet for his kidney for the past 2 months. We are conducting a full blood panel test every month. His most current tests showed that his kidneys have FULLY recovered. It is important for his forever family to go on regular daily walks to maintain his health so that Cookie can live a long and healthy life.
Please consider adopting Cookie. He has the most beautiful black eyes and can give you unconditional love to your family.
Cookie is neutered, microchipped, vet checked, and are up to date on all vaccinations.
If you are interested in adopting Cookie, please email us at info@happyendingrescue.org

Sugar Ray is an 8 yr. old male, Boxer who is very loving and wants to be with people all the time. He suffers from neurological problems which limits the movement of his rear limbs and makes walking difficult for him. He would benefit from a doggie cart, which we are currently trying to obtain for him. Sugar Ray seems to love children but is uncomfortable around some other dogs.

Nyla is a special puppy who has a big heart and has no idea she is medically special. When Nyla first came to
Labrador Retriever Rescue of Florida she had just been diagnosed with Neospora. Her physical condition left her with
absolutely no control of her hind limbs. LRROF has been working on flexibility in both her hips and hind limbs and a
great improvement has been seen. Amazing progression by such a determined little pup. Time has moved on and
Nyla has been in rescue 5 or her 7 months. "Special Needs" does not apply to her anymore. She may look a little
different physically, but she is absolutely no different than any other loving, playful puppy. Her only challenge is going
UP an entire flight of stairs. Nyla can come down on her own and she has absolutely no problem with small steps. She
is completely independent and requires no assistance to function like a normal puppy. Nyla can swim, run and play.
She will play fetch with anything you are willing to throw for her. She has been recently named the "lap lab" as she is
smaller than a pocket lab(about 35 lbs.) and fits perfectly on your lap(and will remain there until you physically force her
to leave :)) She has been around children and infants and has done great with everyone. Nyla is also cat tested and
passed with flying colors. Nyla likes to run and play but truly she is a VERY mellow lab and would do just fine with a
family in a condo or town home where space for a large lab might be limited. Her only requirement is continuous love.
Nyla is house trained, crate trained and knows basic commands. She has an amazing disposition and joy of life. At 7
months Nyla still has puppy play, but she is not a chewer and is also out of the very early puppy phase behaviors. Nyla
is one of the sweetest labs we have ever had the opportunity to meet, learn from and love. Labrador Retriever Rescue
of Florida would be more than happy to answer any and all questions about her and we welcome the opportunity to do
so.
Nyla's youtube videos have also been updated and can be found here: Http://www.youtube.com/user/Nyla2TheBone
If you are interested in meeting or adopting NYLA or one of our other labs contact Labrador Retriever Rescue of Florida by visiting our website
www.labradorrescue.net or call 1-866-464-LABS or email

Precious is 3 years old wonderful and kind girl pit bull. She has diabetes and currently needs IV fluids twice a day. The vet thinks that with time; she can be regulated and will not need insulin and IV fluids.
If you like to meet Precious; please contact Marianna at 916-508-9418 or
email:mariannagilshteyn2005@yahoo.com
She will need to know that there are kind people in the world who will not starve her!
Alternatively, you can foster her and make a decision whether Precious fits in your family. Our rescue will pay all vet bills and provide food.
Precious was rescued from high-kill shelter on 6/15/2005.
She is VERY emaciated, a seizure from owner now released for rescue. A very nice girl who did not deserve to be treated like this. She is very friendly with people and dogs ; big and small. As of now, we do not know how she is with cats and children. At this time, we are unable to say if she is house-trained as she is being kenneled at the vet.
She is waiting for her forever home where she will be given love, affection, and respect!
