Happy Endings (13): Winnifred Loves Her New Home
May 20th
Winnifred, the Rottweiler Mix, was adopted by Denise Laitinen some time ago, and we got an update from her new family: “Winnifred loves her three new dog brothers. It is very cute to see her lying next to Clancy (Pitbull) with their paws intertwined or playing with their toys. They love to play although the amount of play has to be limited due to the heartworm treatment. She also gets along with Danny (German Shepherd) and she licks Declan’s face. She loves her daily walks and she would eat an entire rawhide if she was let.
Please Help Sunny
May 17th
Sunny is a 2 1/2 year old, neutered, male Golden Retriever Mix. He is a happy, loving, energetic dog and is very well behaved. Unfortunately he came to the sanctuary with severe heartworm and needs expensive treatment which runs around $400. Could you help with a donation to facilitate his treatment? If you donate for Sunny’s cause, please specify with your contribution.

May 7th
Cocoa’s sponsor Dawn just had to get a house before she could adopt her sponsored pet. Once this was taken care of, she decided to adopt Buddy as well and so the two of them are going to move to Volcano. And, on top of that, Dawn also adopted Nala, a kitten, to make the family complete. Thank you so much, Dawn.
