Sammie, One of our Success Stories

This is basically a story told in pictures. There are two "before" pictures of a Springer with an extreme skin condition which left untreated and probably with very poor nutrition had lost most of a potentially beautiful coat. Sammie ended up at the Sacramento City animal shelter in year 2000.

Once he found his "forever" home thru our rescue, weeks of careful care which probably included medicated baths and proper nutrition were needed to reverse the years of neglect. Eventually, he became the beauty he is today, which shows in his 2002 picture leaping joyfully over a jump in an agility course. Doesn't look like the same dog, does it?

Sammie lives and is loved by a wonderful person. Each of us has the potential in us just like Sammy, and all we need is to give a little for less-fortunate animals and this is what you could end up with. Won't you consider at least looking at a few rescue dogs BEFORE you go to the newspaper and find a litter of puppies to buy? They are waiting for your care and love.
