Early this summer, Wonder and Charles were on death row at a dog pound out in the country. No one gave them a second look, because Wonder was deaf and partially blind; Charles was totally blind. APL rescued these playful, loving pups who had no clue that they had something humans call "disabilities." A little over a month later, they were transported by a chain of dedicated volunteers up to Wisconsin where they were welcomed at Home for Life. They now have new friends (both humans and dogs), their own doggy condo, and acres of fields and flowers to run through. Their new names are Winter and Flurry, and you can follow their story at the Home for Life website.

Scroll down for photos of Winter and Flurry at their new home ... and further down the page for additonal success stories. 

 

In early December, Tyson (the brown Brussels Griffon in the center of the photo) was taken away from a breeder who was not caring for him. He wound up at a dog pound out in the country, on death row. When APL rescued him, Hillary and Marty Brady offered to foster him. Now, Tyson is a permanent member of their family ... shown with Hillary and his new friends (L to R) Ellie, Gatsby, Butters and Maddie (in the forefront). This lucky dog (now named Teddy) was not only rescued, he has his Home for the Holidays.

 

Maxx and Marshall (formerly an APL dog) share their home with Patty Goodwin and her three other Pointers. Marshall was a foster dog, but Patty adopted him because she says he fit in so well and acted like he had been her dog all his life. “Any time I sit down,” she says, “he sits next to me with his head in my lap. He sleeps next to me at night, and is the best snuggler. Marshall truly is the sweetest dog on earth … I am so grateful to APL for bringing him into our lives.”

 

After fending for herself on the streets of Springfield, shy little Pepper was rescued and taken into a foster home where she learned all about living in a house. Pepper was recently adopted into her forever home where she is cuddled and loved by Shannon O'Brien.
