A Rescue Story! *PICS posted - Pg. 2*

Rudy has been saved... Just in time for Christmas!! Chat Icon

A woman named Arlene from Little Shelter is who I left a message for this morning and perhaps who IrishLass had spoken with also?? Thank you, by the way!! She returned my call this morning while I was at work and told me that this dog happens to be very lucky because he is located in Smithtown - she knows the head of the Town shelter in Smithtown and said they are a WONDERFUL shelter who will never put a dog down unless it is EXTREMELY aggressive. They are dedicated too!

So, I called over to her contact there - George - and spoke with him. He, in a matter of 30 minutes, was over at the restaurant and the owners (SHAME ON THEM!!!!!) immediately signed the dog over to George and the shelter. He called me back to tell me that RUDY Chat Icon (I named him lol) was there and in great spirits. My sister and I were so worried we were going to go there and get him right after work but once George stepped in we didn't have to. He will have great care at the shelter and a nice, warm place to stay until he gets adopted which shouldn't be long because he is SO friendly.

What my sister and I did do was chip in to get him a day of beauty at the Grooming Salon we take our dogs to!! Bark Avenue on the Ronkonkoma/Nesconset border stepped in and gave us a GREAT discounted rate to give Rudy a bath, a full cut (shave down because he was so bad), nails, ears, teeth, the WORKS!!!! It is like he's born again! Chat Icon The owner at Bark Avenue said he is WONDERFUL and SUPER friendly... sat there the whole time and let everyone work on him. He said Rudy's nails seem like they were never cut! He was matted and a mess - stunk to high heaven! So, my sister and I will be going there right when she gets home to pay him - THANKS FOR THE DISCOUNT Bark Avenue!!! and the shelter should be picking Rudy up -- then, my sister and I are going to go visit him before the shelter closes to give him some toys, see how he came out and make sure he is comfortable in his temporary home.

The groomer is going to spread the word to his clients about Rudy to see if anyone wants to adopt him, a great woman I spoke with who heads up a Newfie rescue (when I mistakenly thought Rudy was a Newfie) even offered to help spread the word in order to get him adopted. My sister and I figured a day of beauty will help his chances and AT LEAST help him feel better!!! Turns out, thank you Janet, Rudy is a Great Pyranees... They are like Newfies but white. We read up on them and apparently they are very gentle, smart, sweet dogs!

This feels so good - Jenn and I have been smiling ALL day!!

Thank you to everyone here for all of your help and, of course, to Arlene at Little Shelter for the referral and especially George at Smithtown Town Animal Shelter!!!!

He's going to have a great life ladies!!! Chat Icon
