What Our Customers Say About Us

Old dogs, blind dogs, deaf dogs, crippled dogs, who wants them? Laura and John that’s who. They love the concept of rescuing special needs dogs and work tirelessly with local shelters and foster families. However, their commitment to these animals goes way beyond the ordinary. You see, their philosophy is to take only animals that no one else wants.

So far, they have rescued five such dogs. All of them in less than perfect condition. Meet Laura and John with their three current pets: Macey, a black Cocker Spaniel, Darby a Fox Terrier and Katy a Jack Russell. Macey was blind with glaucoma and cataracts when the couple adopted her. While they could not heal the glaucoma, they were able to replace one cataract. Now Macey can see the fabulous world within which she lives. Darby came from a puppy mill where permanent caging resulted in severely degenerated joints, which left her crippled. Using special joint medication and patient, short walks alternated with wagon rides, Darby can now walk several blocks and run after her toys. Last but not least, is 11 year-old Katy. Katy is hard of hearing so Laura and John had to be creative in learning how to communicate with her. At first, they would rap on the floor to get her attention and use special toys. Ultimately, they perfected hand signals and today Katy is living well and communicating as if she can hear.

Laura and John have enriched the quality of life for these less than perfect pets. In the process, Laura and John’s lives have also been deeply enriched. And taught us all an important lesson at the same time. Abounding, unconditional love comes wrapped in all kinds of packages.

In loving memory of Elizabeth and Cinnamon.
