Archives for Updates category
Sorry to send out a mailing so quick on the heels of yesterday’s but we have a special request from our dog and medical staff. The dog I wrote about in yesterday’s update (that was already on the table to be spayed when it was discovered she was pregnant) needs a foster. Monique is a sweet, young, friendly dog and we are trying to find her a warm, calm and quiet home for her to give birth. We are asking if there is anyone that can take her for two to four weeks that is home most of the time, has experience with birthing dogs and dealing with a mom and a new litter. If you can provide a foster home for Monique, even for just two weeks, please contact us.

Sanctuary animal updates:
Since our last update on April 11 th, we have found homes for Shelley, Toby, Ruby, Little Man, Sunny, Christopher, Chloe, Unique, Cooper, Michael, Chuck, Rose, Nutmeg, CB, Elana, Sibley, Arby (again), Jane, Russell, Amber, Rain, Bow, Juana, Dalton, Jolly, Winston, and six puppies. That is 32 dogs! We also found a home for Jayjay, one of our cats. Good luck in your new homes everyone!
Animal deaths and illnesses:
This month we also lost two cats. We had to put Moses down, a semi-feral FIV cat that had renal failure and we lost Violet one of the cats in the back feral cat house.
Additionally of interest this month was that we brought in Monique - one of the Georgia dogs - to be spayed and it turns out she was about two-three weeks away from giving birth! She did not look pregnant to us or the vet and he had her on the table and everything. We were all shocked to discover this and so we had her closed up and she will be allowed to give birth to her pups. (Pets Alive does NOT believe in late term spays). So we’ll be having puppies again soon.

Sanctuary animal updates:
Since our last update on April 5th, we have found homes for THREE CATS! Spunky, Barney and JJ are all going home or have gone to their new homes. Wheee! Three cats is a record for us. We also adopted out two dogs - Sandy and Ernie. This is just in the past six days folks, as this update is coming on the heels of the other because I have some important things to tell (and ask) you. Unfortunately I have to mention that Dusty (Beagle) and Arby (Shih Tzu) have come back to us.

Sanctuary animal updates:
Since our last update on March 20th, we have found homes for Sheba, Connor, BooBoo, Nelson (again), Eden, Gus, Kiali, Diamond, Cisco, Buttercup (again), Zoie, Hank, Myra, Bear, Harley, Blackjack…and a cat!!! Barney found another home, thank goodness! He was too young to spend his life here. He went to live with the people who adopted Kiali.
We BEG all our adopters to please post updates in our online forum. We LOVE to see the pictures and read the stories. Note that we have added a whole bunch ourselves, but we’d love to follow our animals stories, and so do our volunteers. Check out the adorable picture of Eden in there. Too cute! We also got updates on Hunter, Foxy, Rex, and more. Take a look, and add your own.
We took in a wonderful dog from another rescue group this week that asked us to help. Daisy is just the sweetest rottweiler and was scheduled for euthanasia. A wonderful rescuer, Doreen could not stand to allow her to be killed. She spent her own time and money to save this dog and finally found us. We took Daisy in and we absolutely love her. Daisy is the most gentle, kind, fun dog. She has a great sense of humor and we all really like her. She is eight years old, has some arthritis, but she generally does ok, and she absolutely loves toys - especially balls of any kind. Come on down and play with Daisy. Or better yet, consider giving her a home. She’s had a really sad, sad life. She deserves a family to love her, and believe me, she will give that love back.

Sanctuary animal updates:
Since our last update on March 1st, we have found homes for Rusty, Opal, Lego, Trevor, Ellie, Peanut, Nikki, Sid, Aaron, Rebel, Arby and 16 puppies! That is 27 dogs in all. Our adoption coordinator, Patti P. doesn’t get enough kudos for all her hard work. She gets paid for just 20 hours a week, but probably puts in double that. It doesn’t go unnoticed. Thank you Patti. (That’s Nikki helping Patti with some paperwork, and perhaps a sandwich!)
We ALSO found homes for two of our horses. Heather, our little mini horse went to a wonderful new home where there are two other minis. IMMEDIATELY when she got there, she trotted over to meet her new friends and they welcomed her very politely. One kick threat and one squeal and it was all over. They all went to the hay pile and started to eat hay together. They have been friends ever since.

Sanctuary animal updates:
Since our last update on February 17th, we have found homes for Kane, Chip, Johnny, Kenny, Ned, Badgee, Newby, Barney (again), Elmer, four of the puppies, and Mr. Big (one of our cats). Did you notice that name? Yes! Our sweet Badgee got adopted! Go Badgee! That is him in the picture with his new family, and the woman in back is Lace, who was the one who took care of him for us.
In the past two weeks we also lost two of our cats - Bramble who was elderly and died of renal failure, and Miles who died of cancer related to his FIV. We will miss you guys. Please see the memorials posted on our website. You can also submit a memorial for your own pet, or a loved ones pet. Very sadly we also had to put Champ down this past week. Champ will be very much missed by everyone at Pets Alive.

New Pets Alive Website is LIVE
Our new website is live! We’re really excited about this and would like to thank Laura Cromwell and her husband Pete for all their work on this with us. They have been AMAZING in getting the new design developed, up and running. Thank you! Please be sure to check it out. We also have our new blog thre and a Badgee Update (who is now ready for adoption)!
Sanctuary animal updates:
Since our last newsletter/update we have found homes for Rex, Jake, Sandy, Belle, Bridget, Tara, Gabrielle, Opal (although she came back), Leo, Tulip, Peaches, Barney (all dogs), Mimi (cat) and Ringtail (cat). We also took in 26 more dogs from the South - all set to be euthanized at some point. We took them in from Georgia, Kentucky, and Tennessee. We also took in a few dogs from private homes where they could no longer care for them. ARF (Animal Rescue Foundation from the Hamptons) came and took six of the smaller dogs that we rescued to their shelter. They will adopt them out from there. They also have high adoption standards.

I will also post this sort of update to the forum and to your email at least 2-3 times a month to keep you abreast of what is happening here at the sanctuary. We encourage you to come down, visit, get involved and meet our staff and animals. WE NEED YOU!

Best Friends Pulls Away!
Goodbye and Thank You!
We would like to thank Best Friends for the past nine months. As most of you know, Best Friends came to Pets Alive when we were in a desperate situation and they helped us in every way imaginable. They hired staff and taught us how to properly care for and house the animals. They helped us develop a network of volunteers and supporters, showed us better adoption practices, helped us train the animals (and the staff), and helped teach us how to stand on our own two feet. We’re doing that now. Maybe a little wobbly in our new shoes but we are definitely on our own two feet. We are grateful.
