Jada a 103 lb. German Shepherd came to us broken by humans. Now ready for her own home!

Image
 Jada Young girl phoned, her life in a shambles and unable to keep her 103 lb purebred German Shepherd, crying, begged for our Sanctuary to please, please, please take in her little girl, Jada. Nearly impossible task, I knew, but my heart went out to this kid. And what also lured me in was that in the middle of her disaster she was reaching out to rescues to help her save her baby girl, Jada, who had been with her since a puppy. She mothered this dog. The girl did not want to put her baby in a shelter. She said, “It will panic her!.” Plus she wondered with Jada being a Big Girl how long a shelter would keep her alive. Some how I knew we had to help.  I began with questions:  Is Jada friendly to other dogs? YES Does Jada like humans? YES How is she with children? EXCELLENT Does she have her shots? NO, NOT FOR THREE YEARS (okay) Is she fixed? YES Microchipped YES Housetrained? NO. Was for her first year. Then Mama got a boyfriend who didn’t like Jada...

Everyday the critical calls come in, “Please take my dog! I cant keep it” And usually has medical issues.

 One More Urgent Call Saying, "I Can't keep my dog!" One More Dog Suffering, One More Dog                          "We have to save!." And always, always, always, its a critical mess. Jada had infected sores on neck from a spike collar two times too small that had been around her neck for three years as she was alone in a back yard, tied up!    A young lady had started phoning our Sanctuary about three weeks prior and would call almost daily, but I found many lies in each call. Her first call was about another dog she said she couldn't keep and she was going to be homeless. But same call she told me her mom had ten puppies and a 9 month old one, and the mom and dad, and grandparents to puppies, nothing made sense. Then she calls me and says she found the other dog a home, she has a place to live but she cant keep her dog, the nine month old. The dog is papered too. So I asked her to send me a copy of t...

THE PURPOSE OF A PUPPY!! And we have two female pups right now: Sweet Adeline and Addie Mae - see them on our site: www.greenlandhollerpets.org or email: susannespirit@mac.com BUT . . . If you want our dogs fixed how will we get puppies? I hear two opinions in one. The family that is appalled because her neighbor did not fix her dog, and now there are puppies, are the same people who will be first in line to take one of the cute darlings. Its no different than our own babies born. I’ve yet to see an ugly newborn child. They are all beautiful, as puppies too are all just adorable! Puppies make beautiful gifts for children. The relationship is perfect. Have you seen a child pick up a puppy? Its breathtaking. It’s God at his finest. These babies have not had treats before, or toys, or played, and to watch them learn and love puts a peace in my heart to be found nowhere else.  You can’t deny puppies are heart-warming, and are the perfect dog for growing families.

Listen to music on my You Tube channel of my song, Go Back Home, while you read my thoughts. Susanne Spirit's You Tube Channel  Just Click! "I wanna hear my Momma call me, I wanna touch my Daddy's strong  hands, I wanna see that room that I grew up in, I wanna go home in my Mind, and go back in time." It's a universal need from us to our dogs. My video shows how you can help us save our Pits, and other left behind dogs. Im writing today about our new dog Baron Smokey who took my heart from the second I met him. Baron has been with one of our fosters, but the human mom is having her first child in two days, and Baron needs a new home, so lets help Baron "Go Back Home!" His Dad who turned him into us, a big strong probably three hundred pound man, showed up with Baron to turn him into our shelter, as this.man could not handle him, he told me. He had TWO spike collars on this poor baby. The collars that are metal, have spikes that when the ma...

TODAY YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE AND SAVE A DOG'S LIFE!

WHAT CAN YOU DO TODAY TO HELP SAVE THE LIFE OF ONE DOG? This dog is Chiquito at the shelter before we picked him up, got him to our vet where he finally was given pain meds and given help for his 65% burns. This rubber box is torn he has been given to sleep in at shelter, I cant imagine how those ridges hurt his poor sore and burned inside and outside body. We took it on, and We saved his life, but he had to spend weeks at our vet's hospital. And all funding was supported by us and our Sanctuary.  The fees to run this operation are outstanding within our county. And we only have a half acre of land, not a full acre as required by their rules. We have saved more dogs harmed in our facility than most shelters but they arent willing to help us,  but rather insist on their rules: They want $30,000 and we have to join our land with a neighbor.   Why? Our site is impeccable, and our success rate is enormous. Why? Help us, support us, dont harm us, and all they are doing ...
