At 6 weeks old, little Dory was thrown over the eight-foot high fence at our shelter. She was one of four small puppies discarded on a cold March night at the Humane Society Dallas County/Dog & Kitty City with a note that simply read, "Husky/Shepherd mix," no other explanation. This is a regular occurrence at the shelter.
Dory, Bubbles, Flo and Crush received some bruises from their fall. Once our shelter staff evaluated and monitored them, they were given the "all clear." After several rounds of vaccinations, socialization and caring for these adorable puppies, they were all able to find forever homes. Our shelter adoption team searched for families that were willing to provide positive re-enforcement training and willing to exercise growing puppies that would become large dogs. Dory was the last to get adopted in June, when she became a member of a wonderful family.
After Dory was adopted, her new family discovered that she was actually an Anatolian Shepherd, which meant she would grow up to be between 80 to 100 pounds. In September our shelter learned that Dory passed her dog obedience class with flying colors!!!
Humane Society Dallas County/Dog & Kitty City was able to take these puppies in, vaccinate, feed, care and provide socialization programs because of the generous donations you've made to GlobalGiving. Thank you for your support, it has helped our shelter tremendously as we care for the homeless cat and dogs in the Dallas area.
