About Me


This page was designed to help spread the word about some of our spotted four legged friends who are in need of our help. I have recently become a "foster mom" for Dalmatian Rescue of Southwest Virginia, a local rescue organization that dedicates lots of time and love to dogs that, if not rescued, would die in shelters or live less than inferior lives, neglected or abused.
If you check out my pictures, you will find a few of the dogs that are available for adoption, as well as some of our fine freckled friends who have found loving families with whom they can live out the rest of their days.
Please Go To Our Site and take a look at all of the dogs available for adoption at www.drswv.com or click on our logo below. Check back often because we are constantly getting new dogs! You may find your next best friend!

Giving to Those in Need
May I become at all times, both now and forever
A protector for those without protection
A guide for those who have lost their way
A ship for those with oceans to cross
A bridge for those with rivers to cross
A sanctuary for those in danger
A lamp for those without light
A place of refuge for those who lack shelter
And a servant to all in need
- Tenzin Gyatso, the 14th Dalai Lama
