We all love the before and after stories, especially with the “snowballs chance in hell” dogs. We got to celebrate a snow storm survivor this weekend when puppy Vessa went full adoption. Here she is when we first laid eyes on her, back in August (she’s the little brown dog). She was whelped in makeshift box that doubled as a fighting pit, then shuffled to an Oklahoma shelter by HSUS reps just after the big bad multi-state arrest.

February 19th, 2010a sad good-bye to two dear friends
We lost two special souls to health issues recently. Both were from the big bust in Kay County, Oklahoma in winter ‘08. They were everybody’s favorite survivors, so writing this blog post is rather hard. Here are their eulogies.
