Pandora - 1
1/2-year-old English Bulldog-Beagle mix Pandora is a product of the
"designer dog," i.e., expensive mixed breed, craze that makes
us...crazy...but we can't deny that she is, in fact, adorable. Pandora
is half-English
Bulldog and half- beagle (a "bugle?"), born in October '08 and she is looking for a new
home because her former household no longer had time for her. Pandora is 42 lbs., with the
barrel-shaped body, nubby tail and strength of an English Bulldog and the
soulful eyes, goofy personality and long, velvety ears and muzzle of a
beagle. Pandora has to catch up on some basic obedience training that
she missed in her previous home (they had a fenced yard and never bothered
to leash-train her, among other things), but she is anxious to please and a
very quick learner. All vet work has been done, of course.

 Lucy and
Chance see eye-to-eye
|
Lucy -
8-year-old blind Silky Terrier Lucy is an absolutely darling 8-year-old,
10-lb. Silky Terrier who was given up by her family when her diagnosis of
diabetes coincided with some difficult times for the household. Lucy
is on a prescription diet and requires just a whisper of insulin twice a day,
and although diabetes-related cataracts have now taken her sight away, they
haven't robbed her of her loving, confident and outgoing disposition.
Lucy is spayed and all of her vet work
is up to date. The expense and demands of maintaining Lucy's health
are minimal, but the rewards of living with this lovely little dog will be
immeasurable.

Walter Cronkite
- 5-year-old pit bull Walter is a very, very sweet white pit bull,
about 5 years old,
whose entire body is covered with scars, most likely from use as a bait dog
in a fight ring, but whose good spirits and gentle nature are unscathed. Walter was heartworm-positive when we got him, but has been
successfully treated, and he has been neutered and vaccinated. Walter is
perfectly housetrained and is so grateful for even the smallest
kindness--a safe haven and regular meals are more than he ever had before.
This boy is happy just to be alive, and he will make you so very glad you
reached out to him.

| Sam & Jo's Dapper Dogs:
The well-groomed dogs you see on this page have been buffed and puffed with
the help of "Sam & Jo's Dapper Dogs," a fund to help with grooming expenses
so that our foster dogs will look (and smell) their best in preparation for
finding new homes. This fund is the brainchild of a dear friend and
firm supporter who recognizes that a clean and well-groomed dog has a better
chance of finding a home, and it is named in honor of her beloved companion
Sam (canine, Flora's class of 2001) and in memory of Joanne (human,
dog-lover, dear friend, long-time Flora supporter). |
