We received a desperate plea to rescue a pregnant Boxer the day before she was to be euthanized in a Georgia shelter. We heard her story, saw her picture, and knew we had to help (read the story here in our blog).
Cathy is one of the most precious dogs we have ever had here at Pets Alive. She arrived in horrible condition, terribly emaciated, barely able to walk, and had a skin infection so bad she was missing most of the hair on her sides. She also was NOT pregnant and has some sort of issue that makes her walk a little awkward, but yet she gets around just fine.
Even though her condition was so appalling, Cathy was incredibly sweet from the moment she arrived. We are sure she knows she was saved when she was literally at death's door. Cathy is thriving now, we can see the happiness in her beautiful eyes. She is a shadow & loves to lay beside anyone who comes into her room. Her skin infection is cleared up as well and almost all the hair has grown back in. Her walking has become much better than when she first got here, although we will be getting hip x-rays to determine if it is neurological or perhaps she has arthritis or dysplasia.
We can't say enough positive things about our Cathy; she is truly a sweet, amazing, wonderful girl!!!
Please fill out an adoption application so you can meet her!

Pets Alive would like to continually thank Marisol and Rob Thomas for their support. We would not be here if it wasn't for their help. Thank you guys so much for all that you do for us.

Have you seen our 2009 calendar? Made up of images from 2008 - a lot of these are pictures of volunteers and animals you'll remember and be touched by. Becky and John took almost all of these pictures, and I think they speak for themselves. This is really a very neat tribute to the Pets Alive volunteers and animals we have all come to deeply love.
