An Animal Lover's Joy

Uploaded: December 23, 2005

Description


Remember Gloria? The one feeding the horses with the chickens following her? Well, she went down to Lousiana for 3 weeks and worked in one of the shelters that they were bringing the animals to. She was in the heart of the war zone, guards protecting the shelter, etc. She fell in love with a little female Pit Bull who was crippled from malnutrition. The poor thing was so thin and Gloria took special care to nurse her while she was there. When she came home, she brought back a rabbit and a cat but hoped the dog would get adopted. They called to tell her no such luck, would she take her. Not only that but she had just given birth to 9 puppies. You guessed it! Gloria now has puppies looking for loving homes. Any interest, email me.

I forgot to mention that the puppies can be shipped. Also that the non-profit is paying for the shots and neutering.
The group who built and operated this shelter is Noahs-wish. The last of the volunteers went home two days ago. They not only rescued and cared for domestic animals but squirrels and other wild animals that found themselves in trouble. #2218232

Wow, this is wonderful, Janet!
How adorable the pups are!
I must say that my son has a pit bull.
He is the most gentle, friendly, intelligent and playful dog I've ever known.
Anyone that can take one of these pups will be amply rewarded
I love this photo!!

I know they look like they are sitting like little angels but this group is very active. I first told Gloria that I wanted to try to shoot all 9 at once but there were only the two of us so we did them one at a time and then I merged them together.
You are right, Bill. Gloria already has two of them and now three with the mother. They are wonderful dogs. #2218696
