Chase
Rescued from near death at a year old. Emaciated, beaten, and neglected by the worst of humanity, Chase suffered the physical, behavioral, and psychological problems often found in the abused and abandoned.
Loyal and intelligent. Persistent. Appreciates every waking moment. Happy to be alive. Just keeps on truckin’.
Topez
Picked up as a stray puppy. Adopted and returned twice, she was pulled from the animal shelter just hours before euthanasia. Topez suffered the physical, behavioral, and psychological effects of being hit, abandoned, and neglected.
Love pours off her endlessly. She loves with everything she’s got. Queen of the snuggles. She makes everything better.
