We adopted Blondie, now Brie, a beautiful female 7-month old yellow Lab through ALR in July 2008. A little over two and a hal......f years old now, Brie has been an absolute joy, extremely loyal and affectionate, gentle and “cat friendly”. Fearful and shy with people & strangers at first, after a brief bark and sniff greeting, she is very friendly and will bring them a toy. Brie is housebroken, and quickly adapted to a routine. She barks to alert you when she needs to go out, knows what “go potty” means, and waits patiently for her “cookie” reward. She is a big girl (75 lbs.) and will readily crawl up in your lap for a nap. She sits on command and minds well. She’s very sociable with guests, great with all types of other dogs, cats and would be ideal with children.
Brie is amazingly intuitive, sweet, and loving, and looks deep into your eyes and into your soul. She loves me to talk to her and tell her what a beautiful girl she is, and will attempt to “talk” back, making little sounds as if to form words. She puts her paw in my hand to encourage more compliments, and loves to have her belly rubbed and feet massaged.
She is the perfect indoor dog, and is respectful of the boundaries you set. Because she is a “snuggler”, we’ve always welcomed her to sleep with us, nap on the sofa, and keep plenty of throws handy. I have spoiled her, and the only “dog bed” she’s ever known is mine which is shared with the two cats, so she might have to adapt to one on the floor. She loves the outdoors, walks, swimming in the pool, and games of toss. She loves to play chase around the house with the cats, and when tired, will snuggle up with them for a nap. I’m sure would do the same with other dogs.
Brie is very “motherly” and protective of the cats and will actually wake me when it’s time for them to eat. She will wait to eat her own food, until after the cats have eaten. If my older cat Bud is in the backyard, she accompanies him, and if he strays too far, will bark and “herd” him into the back door.
I’m not sure where she learned this, but Brie will cover you up with the blanket if you are lying down, or uncover you if it’s time to get up in the morning. To wake you, she will just come plop down all 75 lbs. on top of you in a dead sleep, until you get up.
Brie proved how incredibly compassionate rescue dogs can be when she rescued Ozzie, an abandoned black and white kitten from underneath our garden just a few months after we adopted her. She barked to alert us, and led us to the shed to investigate. Brie supervised every bottle feeding, and in that her velvet-soft nuzzle was the first he encountered before his eyes were open, Ozzie thinks Brie is his mother. Ozzie purrs only for Brie, and “makes biscuits” on her belly. To this day, they are inseparable, and if possible, it would be my greatest joy, to know that they can be together.
Ozzie the cat, is 1 yr. old now, neutered, has had all his vaccines, is micro-chipped and is litterbox trained. He is very animated, curious and playful, and only meows if he’s lonely, or loses sight of his mommy figure, Brie. He chirps like a bird. He’s comes off as being aloof, but actually prefers to be around everyone – just on his terms, of course. He lies across your desk as you work, sits on the edge of the tub, in the kitchen while you cook, curls up in the sink as you’re putting on your make-up, and sleeps with you, always with Brie close-by.
Brie has been my soul mate, and an exceptional dog. Ozzie, has been Brie’s “sidekick”, and a comical addition to the family.
I have the utmost respect for Frank and Becky and all the great contributions on behalf of ALR, and it is my most heartfelt wish that they can find a warm, loving home, where they can return the wonderful love and companionship that they have given us. My life has been enriched and joyful because of these animals, and I will continue my love and support for causes that sustain them and their well being.
Brie and Ozzie would be loving companions to any family!

Cherish needs funds for surgery at Henry Co. Humane Society
Cherish is an awesome Retriever mixed puppy that we rescued from our local animal control shelter in McDonough, Georgia. She is about 4-5 months old and wants to run and play like all other youngsters do...........
But as you can see Cherish has a deformed front leg and foot. We feel she was born this way and has never known her life to be any different but as she ages and grows her stunted limb has not caught up. Now it is creating a bit more trouble for her than when she was smaller.
Initially we felt she would be fine and not require any additional care [aside from what all pups require] Our vet now feels Cherish must have the limb removed since it moves almost constantly and the fear is she will develop issues in her shoulder that will progress with age. The stunted limb moves non stop and wiggles all the time, so the joints will suffer, most of all her shoulder. She will most definitely develop arthritis and possibly other painful joint issues and muscle issues.
We struggle as we know all non profit animal rescues do, surviving on donations and adoption fees only but anyone in rescue knows adoption fees rarely cover what is spent on our precious babies to begin with.
We need help getting Cherish cared for, her surgery will really strain our very limited budget.
If you can donate any amount we would be so grateful. Every dollar adds up!!! We are a 501 c 3 non profit charity and your donations are tax deductable.
Please visit our homepage at www.henryhumane.com to access our Pay Pal button if you wish to help Cherish get her much needed surgery.
For anyone who would prefer to send a check our mailing address is:

Please mark any donation you care to make for CHERISH.
Thank you all and please feel free to crosspost this message to anyone who might wish to help!!!

Please chipin for Win-Chester puppy shot in the head!
http://www.noahs-arks.net/RESCUE/WIN-CHESTER.html
THANK YOU NOAH's ARK for saving this baby
This sweet adorable 9 month old pit bull pup was shot in the face on Tarrytown Lane, a rural stretch of road north of the Panola Mountain Conservation Park, outside of Atlanta, Georgia. The bullet entered above the dog's right eye, traveled through the nasal passages and out through his left eye. Kids found him and called Animal Care Services In Dekalb County. When the officers arrived, he was as sweet as could be and allowed them to take him to the area shelter where he was then seen by a doctor and x-rays were taken. On New Year’s Eve we had him transported to our vet in Greenville, SC where he is being treated until he has his surgery in Columbia, SC on Tuesday. He will have his nasal passage surgically restored as much as possible and the eye that was shot out will be surgically treated so it will heal properly. His eye is completely gone. This is the most loving puppy you will ever be around. How anyone could ever do this is beyond us. We have put the location in our description in hopes someone might have some clues as to who did this to our sweet Win-Chester. The police department named him Winchester because of the accident but since we do not like to remind any of our animals of their horrible past we are calling him...Win-Chester. he can be called Win, Chester or Winchester. We will be calling him Win.
Please, help us help him by donating.
We are a 501c3 and all donations are tax deductible.

A Poem for Rescue
For those who have lost hope.....
When you think you can go no more
when you feel you are at your wits end of
dead end, death, desperation and despair
the eyes of the longing helpless dog
the whimpers of the abandoned kitten
But who speaks for them
who fights for them
we are all tired, overworked, distraught and forlorn
but its for those who have no voice
those that only have their longing eyes
their special ways
a whimpering prayer
a desire for love
they bring so much to us
and ask for so very little in return
food, warmth and just a bit of love
we continue to open our hearts
even though we have so little to give
our pockets are empty, our hands are tired, are hearts are broken
and yet
in the end
we still give
we still try
we cannot give up
because in the end
they
the silent ones
are counting on us
--Rachel S.
