This malamute, Cheyenne lived on her own for a year. This picture doesn't do her justice. We re-homed Cheyenne in a wonderful environment.

This poor Little Dog was very sick when I found her at the pound. She had pneumonia and the antibiotics weren't working . The vet finally did a culture and we realized that the bacteria was resistant to most antibiotics. She was spayed, had a lot of dental work done and had a mammary gland tumor removed. This little dog has gone from 5.4 pounds to 13 pounds and is happy and healthy.
No one could catch this dog that had been dumped on country roads near Fillemore, NY. She was terrified and had clearly been abused. This is the photo of what her reaction to being looked at was. I got involved after the dog warden was unsuccessful for three weeks. It took me two days, and we caught her. But she got increasingly aggressive in the shelter and was to be euthanized, so i too her home. It took five days to be able to touch her, and then every day was another step, until we had one heck of a fine dog, that was a fantastic tennis ball retriever! What a good dog! Mollie was placed in the home with a dear friend and is the perfect house dog now!
Jadin was shot by his owners husband. The husband shot their other dog, then turned the gun on Jadin. The first bullet ripped through the top of Jadins skull, narrowly missing his brain. The second bullet tore out Jadins voice box and esophagus. Jadin ran for his life as the third bullet was fired. Jadin hid in the woods for days before crawling home, where the wife rushed him to the vet. The vet had to work very hard to save Jadins life, but he did. I offered to take Jadin and place him in a safer home. It turns out, Jadin is going to stay right here!
This is Mollie after a few weeks of "taming". She is beautiful, social and energetic and sure does love that tennis ball!
Jackie spent his life chained inside a dark garage in the city of Buffalo. he was covered with tumors and his owners had died. We needed to give him a better life! I took Jackie in and he lived for 3 wonderful years in sunshine and playing with other dogs. he was easily trained to an invisible collar, so he was never chained again.
Jadin has healed filled out beautifully . He is truly the perfect dog being a combination of loyal, playful, protector and obedient. He is good with all of the new dogs that come too. We love jadin and he is definitely staying here!
Heidi was rescued from a bad home. Heidi is a wonderful dog that has a severe problem with her hind legs that was made worse by being overweight. Heidi was placed in a loving home with people who understand and love Great Pyrenees dogs.
Lucy was rescued from a shelter in Ohio. Having never met her, I was uncertain of her health status, temperament and age. But the stars shone on us the day Lucy arrived, young, sweet and healthy! Lucy's unusually long tongue made her especially cute too. We learned the hard way that Lucy loves to jump fences and run free .
Lucy was placed in a wonderful home where she is loved and appeciated.
Samantha was dumped from a car in West Valley, NY. She was hit by the next car that came along and as she lay near a fence, the dog warden came to shoot her. The onlookers didn't accept this response from the dog warden, so they said they would take the dog to the local vet. She had a lot of bruising, and her abdomen was mysteriously large... an x-ray revealed numerous puppies- ah! So this is why the poor dog was dumped! People would rather do this than spay their dog?? One week later, Samantha had 6 beautiful puppies in my home. All puppies were placed loving homes and spayed and neutered. Samantha was spayed and placed in a wonderful home with lots of love and will live happily ever after.
This is Mikey tied out at the home where he had also jumped out a second story window when left alone.The dog suffered from severe separation anxiety. After this photo was taken, I took Mikey home, got him professionally groomed and started working with him.
Tico was given to me by a young lady who rented an apartment and couldn't afford a dog . She said her boyfriend "only hit him once in a while". Naturally, i took the dog. he was placed in a wonderful, loving home with responsible people who could afford to have a dog. Fortunately, this adorable little dog will never be hit again.
Bear is a young Great Pyrenees dog that has permanent injuries on both front legs from suffering in wolf or large coyote traps for days. He came to Fox Wood in September 2005 after the shelter was going to euthanize him. Bear is a gentle giant with a very sweet disposition. Bear now works as a therapy dog, visiting the elderly in area nursing homes.
One great dog with an incredible story! We caught this frightened, shy dog after he avoided daily capture attemptsfor 6 months, even though he was running on a broken hip. A generous donor helped us get his hip repaired. "The Pone" short for "The Pony" has recenly been adopted by a loving family!
