EMERSON

A note from Heather: I found Emerson, a male, ~8month old, black, shar-pei mix, 1/26/07 on 31st Street between Broadway and College in Indianapolis. He was running down the sidewalk with no collar on cold day. I opened my car door and he came running over to me. With a few biscuits I had his trust and loaded him into the back of my Jeep. A listing was posted in the Indianapolis Star stating that Emerson had been found. No responses were recieved. He was given a Capstar 1/26/07. He was noted to have scars all over his front legs, chest and face. His coat was dull, scratchy and some patchy spots. He was thin but not at the point of neglect. FACE spay/neuter clinic allowed me to keep him in a kennel there over the weekend until Monday when he was tested for heartworm (neg), neutered, vaccinated with a DHLPPC and Rabies on 1/29/07. I picked him up 1/30/07 and transported him to the Wood County Humane Society at 801 Van Camp Rd, Bowling Green, OH 43402, 419-352-7339. He did very well in the car and pretty much slept the whole way once he got over his initial nervousness out of the city. The humane society was given another Capstar and a Yellow Interceptor to give to Emerson to take care of any internal parasites, heartworm prevention and adult fleas he might have. The only feedback besides that he is a very sweet dog is that he needs some training on leash walking. One note I forgot to mention was that FACE seemed to think he is housetrained because he never went to the bathroom in his kennel.

KITCHI

Hi! I was chained to a tree for a long time. I was living in filth. Even though I have been treated so poorly I really just want someone to love. I am so gentle that the vet who is sometimes nervous about Shar Pei's (he must have had a bad experience) thought I was a sweet heart. I have been given a bath at the vet's. I was neutered on 8/2/06, had my ears flushed and treated, heartworm tested, treated for fleas, parasites, dosed with Revolution and vaccinated. (BOY I FEEL GOOD NOW.) I currently weigh about 30 pounds. Once I fill out (now that I am being cared for) I will weigh about 60 pounds. I am about 8 to 12 months old (I am a baby). My foster mom said to tell you I am sooooo sooooo sweet and my name KICHI means FORTUNATE....... I really am to have everyone want to help me. My adoption fee is $250 to help cover all my medical bills and antbiotics. If you are interested in me please contact my foster mom at willowcreeksanctuary@adelphia.net.
