VENUS (Chihuahua/Pomeranian Mix) arrived in November 2003 from a Humane Society in Shiawassee County . Venus was so flea infested that her little back was bare, she had an infected molor that had invaded her sinus cavity. Venus was in a lot of pain and came in ready to chew our fingers off. After all medical needs were met and she was free of pain, Venus let us know how much love she was carrying around in that little 4 pound body. She is so sweet. |

Our tail waggin', happy, smilin' CINNAMON (Dachshund) blessed us with her presence in November of 2003. Cinnamon came from a puppy mill and had known nothing but breeding.

MAGGIE (Pekingese) took over our hearts when she arrived in September of 2003. Maggie was a very frightened little girl, didn't like men and we worked with her consistently to earn her trust and kisses. She definitely took over a big chunk of all of our hearts as she began to come out of her shell and bestowed all of her love on us. Her sweet kisses and beautiful eyes will be remembered forever. |

DAISY (Labrador Mix) spent the majority of her life tied to a tree with a six foot chain and had two litters of puppies before the Rescue Angels arrived. She was very sick and so afraid, but as she began to trust and realized how much she was loved, Daisy returned the love ten fold. |

Sweet DIVINITY (Bichon Mix) graced us with her beauty in January 2003. Divinity was used for breeding and didn't produce “top quality” puppies so the breeder turned her over to rescue. Divinity was only accustomed to kenneling and was very introverted and shy. She gradually warmed up, realized that we loved her so much and began to give her love and devotion to us. Her sweet personality and loving ways are greatly missed. |
DIVINITY is realizing how much she is loved with her Forever Mom and Dad Peggy and Chris, her human sister Ellie and her canine friend Kip in Northbrook, Illinois. |

A wonderful young girl named Caitlin and her Mom picked Brooke up and proceeded to find a rescue for her. Many would not take her, but when they contacted our rescue we opened our arms and brought her into our fold. Brooke was blind, deaf, approximately 12 years old and suffering from old injuries. We showered her with love and little by little she realized that she was really alive once again. We sorely miss her sweet kisses and soft body. We feel blessed that there are people out there that recognize the love that a dog like Brooke still has to give. |

KAMBRIA (Pekingese) arrived from a puppy mill in February of 2004. She was such a sad looking little girl, flea infestation had bared her hind quarters, horribly thin and so very shy.

Then along came Jack fka THUMPER (Westie/Yorkie Mix) in July of 2004. He was found as a stray and in such sad condition when he arrived.

MIA (Shih Tzu) was saddened by the loss of her owner in July 2004. Her owner?s family could not take care of her so she came to us and looked up with those beautiful eyes as if to say “Please Help Me”. She was so lovable and gentle we could not resist her. Her stay was short, but during that time she filled our lives with love and laughter. It was a pleasure for us to find someone she could love again. |

STEFFI (Shih Tzu) with her sad little eyes blessed us with her presence in March of 2004. Steffi arrived with 5 others from a puppy mill in Ohio. It took Steffi quite awhile to trust a human again.

She showered us with lots of cuddles and kisses eventually and we felt so fortunate to have been able to hold her in our arms and give her the love that she had never known. |

SAMSON is lovin' his new home with his Forever Mom and Dad Sarah and Brian in Kalamazoo, Michigan. |
AGGIE (Yorkie) and MOLLY (Poodle) joined our family in May of 2004. It was a very sad situation. Their owner, Velma, had recently lost her husband and the grief was overwhelming for her. At that point she just could not cope with caring for her beloved pets, so with heavy heart she thought of them first and knew she needed someone to help. We took her babies in and loved them as if they were our own. We had received applications for these babies, but just couldn't find what we felt was the “Perfect Home” for them. We received a call from Velma 3 months after Molly and Aggie had arrived, she wanted to know how they were doing in their new homes and when we told her they were still with us she was beyond words. Velma was healthy and whole again and with overwhelming joy, we returned her beloved pets to her. |
AGGIE and MOLLY are back in their Mother Velma's arms in Reid City, Michigan. |

But, there is someone out there for our babies, no matter how long their wait. Macalister's wait was well worth it, he has found the most fantastic, loving home. We miss him so much, but know that it was time for him to fill someone else's lives with love and tail wags. Joshua fka ROARKE (Pekingese) sauntered into our lives in April of 2004.
