Special Teddy Finds His New Forever Home




"Teddy"

Soooo precious! What a tail wagger! Two year old Teddy is a lovable, affectionate, cuddly, Maltese/Papillon mix. Teddy was confiscated from the home of an animal hoarder and was brought to the Orange County Animal Care Center (a high-kill shelter in Orange, CA). Teddy was born with misshapen front legs. He also was very neglected, covered in mats from the tip of his nose to the tip of his tail.

When Teddy was brought to the shelter, he was very scared and shy. He wasn't used to getting human attention. The shelter wasn't even sure if he was going to be able to be adopted. Ariel Rescue saw that Teddy needed help! Teddy was adopted out of the shelter by one of Ariel Rescue's volunteers. Then he was taken to the vet for an exam. The vet said that Teddy had very strong back legs and a strong back -- very good news for Teddy! However the vet found that Teddy did have a hernia that needed to be surgically repaired. Teddy did get the surgery that he needed. He was fostered in an Ariel Rescue volunteer's home, where he recovered from his surgery. He was given very nutritious food to eat and lots of loving attention.

We don't think that Teddy had ever been groomed before. He was given his very first "beauty bath". He was then introduced to a doggie blow-drier. Teddy did very well being blow-dried after his bath. All his mats were then clipped away and he was given his first hair-cut. He learned to liked being brushed and fussed over. He now looks like a completely different dog than the one who was so neglected.

Teddy has turned out to be a very playful, fun-loving dog. He is able to get around quite well by hopping on his back legs and scooting on his chest. While he was being fostered, he would play with his doggie toys, throwing them up in the air and then chasing them. He could even climb up onto his foster mom's lap! He also had fun playing with the other Ariel Rescue dog that was also being fostered.

Teddy has now found his new forever home with a wonderful woman who has two other dogs. Teddy spends his days playing with his new doggie friends and his new mom. Teddy never again has to be the lonely, scared, sad dog passed over at the shelter. Now he is the pampered, well-loved dog that he deserves to be.

Blossom Finds Her New Forever Home

"Blossom"

What a sweetie! Blossom is an absolutely adorable three year old Australian Shepherd / Sheltie mix!

She was brought into the Orange County Animal Care Center (a high-kill shelter in Orange, CA), along with her one year old son. She had a litter of puppies and her owner kept her and her last puppy alone in the backyard for the entire year. Then both dogs were turned into the shelter. Her puppy got adopted right away, but Blossom was so shy, the shelter wasn't even sure if she was going to be able to be adopted. Ariel Rescue saw that Blossom needed help!

Blossom was adopted out of the shelter by one of Ariel Rescue's volunteers. Then she was taken to the vet for an exam. She was fostered in an Ariel Rescue volunteer's home, where she received her "beauty bath" and was given very nutritious food to eat. Blossom lived up to her name and "blossomed" into a brand new dog.

Blossom has now found her new forever home with a retired school teacher. Blossom spends her days taking walks to the park and cuddling up at the feet of her new "mom" while her new mom reads at the park. Blossom never again has to be the lonely, scared, sad dog passed over at the shelter. Now she is the pampered, well-loved dog that she deserves to be.

Emmett Finds His New Forever Home

"Emmett"

What a sweetie! Emmett is an absolutely adorable 4 year old Bichon Frise / Miniature Poodle mix. He was brought into the Orange County Animal Care Center (a high-kill shelter in Orange, CA). His owners were contacted but they never picked him up. Emmett was at the Orange County Animal Care Center for a whole month -- he was running out of time. Ariel Rescue saw that Emmett needed help!

Emmett was adopted out of the shelter by one of Ariel Rescue's volunteers. Then he was taken to the vet for an exam. He needed eye medication because his dirty hair had been in his eyes. He was fostered in an Ariel Rescue volunteer's home, where he received his "beauty bath" and was given very nutritious food to eat. After one week, his eyes were healed and he was ready for his new home.

Emmett has now found his new forever home with an older couple. Emmett spends his days taking walks and snuggling in the lap of his new "dad". Emmett never again has to be the sad dog passed over at the shelter. Now he is the pampered, well-loved dog that he deserves to be.
