New Pups Roll in to Florida

Last night Danielle and I picked up a bundle of pooches at the airport in Ft. Lauderdale. Pati from Miami Dalmatian Rescue met us there to pick up 4 dalmatians that arrived as well. Rocco is the dalmatian who was rescued with a severe injury around his neck. It appears his owners had his collar/wire so tight around his neck that it dug a trough all the way around his neck. He's been getting treatment for it but it's still red and healing. We weren't even able to put a collar around his neck. The poor guy's gone through a lot but he's on his way to a great life now!

Pati also took the absolutely adorable dalmatian puppies that were taken from Dead Dog Beach last week. They were a lot tinier than I had expected! They were so cute I could barely stand to let them go. But I did (so settle down, cats!).

We brought Ricky and Chari as well as Janice with us. Ricky and Chari are two 10-year-old little ones who have been together all their lives. They were taken to the Tri County Humane Society in Boca Raton to be placed for adoption. This shelter was the perfect choice because they have a senior ward perfectly suited for the likes of these two characters. It is certainly hoped that they will be adopted - together only - very soon. But if not, they will live their lives in luxury at the shelter.

And Miss Janice, what a sweet little girl. She was taken from the beach in late January to be spayed and was found to be pregnant and to have a severe, life-threatening uterine infection. The puppies had already died inside her when the vet went in. But Janice came through the surgery well and is absolutely beautiful. She is very shy - she's got Chihuahua in her so she trembles at any unexpected noise or movement. She is staying with me for a few days to get her bearings and then will go to the Vero Beach Humane Society. I feel so horrible about moving her into yet another living situation - to then go into (hopefully) her final arrangement. So I'll have her here with the boys and me for a bit of time.

Take a look at the pictures below. These are really terrific dogs.
