Dixie - 3 Strikes and you're out...
Dixie
- as cute as a button - but could not find a permanent home. She
is a little assertive and did not like
being picked up or held. Not good qualities for a "lap dog," so
she came back into foster care 3 times. The Thomas family had
Bandit, a 14 year old Cairn Terrier, that was VERY assertive and would
not tolerate being loved on for longer than 10 seconds. They were
looking for a second dog and Dixie seemed like Miss Congeniality
compared to Bandit! It was love at first sight for all except
Bandit who finally gave into "tolerance at first sight."
Oogy - the face of love
(This is an internet
story we felt worthy of repeating here). When Oogy was four months
old and weighed thirty five pounds he was tied to a stake and used as
bait for a Pit Bull. The left side of his face from just behind his eye
was torn off, including his ear. He was bitten so hard a piece of his
jaw bone was crushed. Afterward, he was thrown into a cage and left to
bleed to death.
