A rescue friend got Peaches from a breeder in Georgia, but could not take care of his medical needs. So she contacted me to see if I would take him. He had a broken jawbone in two places, that I felt was caused when a vet tried to pull some teeth. Upon arrival in New York, Peaches went immediately to my vet. Since the bone started to heal, he felt it best to wait and see how he would adjust. In the meantime, we also consulted a specialist that rebuilds jawbones. After many exams and x-rays, the vets felt he did not have enough bottom bone to work with. Well, as you can see from the photos Peaches {who I affectionately call, "Sherman" i.e. Sherman Tank} never let anything stop him from eating and his jawbone healed and has not bothered him again.

Curly passed away on 10/30/05

Curly came from a Maryland shelter. He was wasting away, because he would not  eat. He still has eating problems, but it isn't - not eating.....we cook chicken patties every day for Curly. Sometimes he will nibble on Solid Gold dog food, but he really only loves his chicken.

Itsy Bitsy was found wondering in the middle of the road in Long Island. She was covered in fleas and anemic. The shelter called me to take her, because they felt she needed vet care immediately. She cannot see good out of one eye and is elderly now, but still my darling little girl.

Lacy is a white Pomeranian that came to us from North Carolina with a broken leg. We had her leg repaired, but she still needs medication to keep her bones strong.

Shamrock is a Maltese that was turned in by her owner, because she could not housebreak her. Shamrock is paper trained and loves playing with all the pommies.

Bear was given up by his owner, because he bit their child. Bear only loves woman and is really a sweetheart, as long as no children are around. Bear is happy here with his playmates.

Casper came from a Long Island shelter. He has a permenant crippled rear leg, because he did not have surgery as a pup to correct it.

Lori came from a Long Island shelter. Both her rear legs are bowed inward, but she still gets around pretty fast. It was too late to try surgery to correct the legs.

Puff came from the same shelter as Lori. When the shelter adopted her out she tried to bite the people and was returned. Puff is permenantly here with us and very affectionate.

Rosie came from a Long Island shelter, because she would bite and had a mega hernia in the groin.  We immediately got her to the vet and repaired the hernia. We found out later that Rosie occasionally has seizures.

Lollipop passed away 02/19/06

Lollipop came from a New Hampshire breeder. She has a crippled rear leg that dangles, because it was not repaired when she was a puppy.

Nicky is a Chihuahua that came from the Delhi, NY shelter. She was burned with a cigar when she was young and has a scar on her side. Nicky will bite if she doesn't know you, but she gets along with everyone here.

Pekachu is a long haired chihuahua-mix that came from CACC in NYC. Another rescue had taken her, but did not have transport and she was in a kennel. Patti went and got her out of the kennel and brought Pekachu to me. She is the smartest little dog and knows every word I say.

Pretty Lady passed away 2/14/05

Pretty Lady is a light wolf sable Pomeranian. She was given to me by a breeder as she was not breeding her any longer. Pretty Lady has been with us for several years and is on medication for her heart and breathing. Note: Lady would have been 15 years old in March 2005

Frosty came from a Long Island, NY breeder. He was so timid he would bite strangers. He has been with me several years and is the sweetest little boy.

Squeaky came from another Long Island breeder that had to give up some of her dogs. Squeaky has emotional baggage, but fits right in with the rest of the crew.

"Star" is a tiny, beautiful, dark wolf sable Pomeranian that I waited for over a year to get. "Fudgie" is a chocolate and white male Parti-Pomeranian.

These are both my personal dogs and not rescues.

Kara came to me from a Long Island, NY shelter with both front legs broken. It took me almost a year of visits to the vet, for clean wraps, x-rays and medications. Today Kara runs around like nothing was ever wrong.

Gidget and Gucchi came all the way from Missouri. Gucchi was all ready neutered, but needed a dental badly ----- he had to have 24 teeth removed. Now he eats like a little piglet and is the tinniest darling little baby.  Gidget was from a Pomeranian show breeder who gave her up to rescue. When I got Gidget spayed she had to have 14 teeth removed. They are both almost three years old now. I promised the rescue that got them for me, I would keep them together always. Oh, and I spell his name with an "H" = Gucchi!
