About Me


Below is a picture of Aja. I was drawn to her - Bobbi & the Strays had a page for her on petfinder.com and I watched for months, this beautiful little dog who was an abuse case (she even had her brush with fame on Animal Precinct!) until she was placed in a loving, forever home. My attraction to Aja was one of the things that marked the beginning of the beginning of my getting involved with rescue... and my love for this beautiful breed which is SO misrepresented and misunderstood.
Luna is another LOVE of a dog, who finally found her forever home in late Jan. 2007 (YAY!!)... after 2 long years in a cage at the rescue... her personality is amazing:
Lady Godiva was at our shelter for over a year - another victim of the "big black dog" issue. There are just so many of them.. the shelters are full of the "big black dog" and the "big brown dog". I am SO happy to say that a family has found her, and now she lives in a nice house with a big yard, toys, and her very own smushy blankie to sleep on. Lady G is proof that there ARE NO "LIFERS" at our shelter!
Gemini is very happy in PA with her new mommy - adopted March 2007 - YAY!

My Interests

Our Angel rescued off the highway..
Angel was living on the side of the highway near JFK airport for at least 4 months before we got her. She is now available for adoption. Please e-mail [email protected] for info. on adopting or fostering this sweet young girl who stands up to give hugs. =)

Please don't let Bobbi & the Strays' beautiful pits - Bones and the rest - die =( Let's work together to BAN BREED SPECIFIC LEGISLATION!
Bones is my heart. He looks up from his cage with soulful eyes as if he's lived several lives already.. He is young (about 2) and very strong. He has responded very well to obedience training because he is VERY smart and wants to please his people :o)

Wednesday is a sweet, wonderful red nose pit bull who loves walks out in the sunshine.. roasted chicken is her favorite snack!

Tickles was pulled out of the NYCACC on her euth day. She is safe with us until we find her a forever home. She loves playing with her toys and is a real wiggle-butt :o)



I'd like to meet:


Heroes:

Anyone who takes a stand for what they believe in and does not submit to the righteous majority just because it is easier to "talk the talk" but not "walk the walk"... anyone who will put someone else's needs above their own wants... anyone who is REALLY awake and alive, and not a member of the "walking dead" (the awake and alive know exactly who I mean)... anyone who participates in animal rescue in any way, and/or has rescued their own furry family member(s)... anyone who has ever been the parent of a teenager - LOL... last but definitely not least - anyone who is a Symptom 7 fan!!
