No sooner then Hal had him home, they wanted to walk at the Rock Cut State Park near Rockford IL. Sadly when they opened the car door, something spooked him and he bolted out of the car and the chase was on. Hal went daily to the park to try and capture him, dealing with the animal control in Winnebago County, and placing flyers everywhere. My small part was to place his loss on our IL Website and on Facebook.

Meet Ozzie (formerly Lost Rio)

I would speak to Hal almost every week for almost 2 months about his being spotted and almost being caught, only to have him move and start appearing somewhere else.

Meet Ozzie (formerly Lost Rio)

This week I received an email and a web posting from a family in the Mulford Hills area. Animal control was called and a live trap was set out, Rio just walked right by it. If they called his name he would run. Rio would come daily to Kay’s home and play with their their dog. He would even get within a few feet of them. He also has been sleeping on their front porch.

Well something happened and he was so close that they could actually pet him, they even were able to place a leash on him, in-fact he was leashed and walked inside. They have been keeping him indoors, and take him out to potty, and when he is done, he wants to come right back inside.

So we have decided he has selected the family he wants to have take care of him. Hal and his family will visit with him, and everyone is all in agreement that he belongs with his new family. So Rio is now home, with a new name, Ozzie!

Welcome back Rio, I mean Ozzie!

Abbie gets along with other dogs just fine and could care less about a cat. She is probably a little deaf, but sees fine.

Abbie would be the perfect Aussie for someone that is retired, lives alone and is looking for that perfect, dedicated, devoted companion. She would be fine anywhere, we just think she deserves to be the star of the house and get all the attention she can handle as she has lived a long time and is now without that forever home, plus she needs someone that will never let her out of their sight so she knows she is loved.

Lola at her favorite spot

She has realized that we are a push over and can’t tell her no when she wants to snuggle on the couch with us! She loves her daily walks and playing in the backyard, she also enjoys pulling the socks off of Jim’s feet and playing tug of war with them.

Lola loves socks, we think she may have a secret shoe desire and start her collection any day now

Hurray for Lola!

Stryder

Stephanie and her very new husband decided that they wanted to start their family with a four-legged child instead of a two-legged one. Her husband wanted an Australian Shepherd, and they both felt that rescue was the way to go. Stephanie found an online website, and then saw a picture of a beautiful blue merle boy on a Facebook link…and what can we say? It was love at first sight. Stephanie and her husband soon made the 2 hour drive to Mundelein, IL to meet Stryder.

We asked Stephanie how Stryder is doing after having joined their family a few months ago. Like any proud mom she said “he is fabulous—very sweet, loving and he has even learned a few new tricks. He has gained 15 lbs, which he really needed to gain, and he even has learned how to play with toys! Every day he does something new, he is really a wonderful first dog.”

Stephanie said everyone at the rescue was so nice and friendly (what else could she say?) and hopes to soon get more involved with the group. “I love to look on Facebook and see all the dogs who have found new homes–it is a wonderful thing your group does for these dogs, thank you!”

No Stephanie, the thanks goes to you and your husband for opening up your hearts and your home to Stryder. We know that adopting a rescue dog isn’t always easy, but it is people like you that make our efforts a success.
