What An Awesome Gal! Can you say
HUGE?! Mariah is a HUGE, Gorgeous, spayed, Husky Mix with wolf bloodlines. She was born in July 2001. We have had her since
she was just a puppy. Mariah is
a gentle giant. She is very affectionate, easygoing, and gets along well with both children and other dogs. Mariah likes to
lay down by her food bowl as she eats her meals. She takes her time eating and nibbles away until she’s finished. Mariah has
a lovely singing voice reminiscent of her wolf ancestors. She howls with sirens and out sings the other dogs if they begin
a neighborhood chorus. She doesn’t howl all the time but she will sing her song as you drive out of the driveway as
if to say, “Goodbye and be safe!” Mariah is
a bit shy at first, but will love you dearly once she gets to know you. She doesn’t like a hose bath and doesn’t
like having her body brushed, but she will let you brush her neck, face, and chest without squirming too much. Mariah does
develop a very heavy winter coat that she starts shedding off in early spring and continues to shed for several months. Due to her
wolf heritage, Mariah actually prefers sleeping outside in her den-like “cave.” We built her a large, custom condo
where she can snuggle inside in the winter and lie on top under a larger covered shelter in the summer. Mariah has
been guilty of catching the neighbor’s rooster and keeping it as a hunting trophy. She is a great bird and mouse catcher
for her size and will save them for you as a precious gift. We also know she does not like cats….. Mariah has
always been free to roam her large, shady, fenced in yard with her two doggie buddies. We feel it would be a crime against
nature to coop up such a majestic creature in a small space. Mariah has
been loved and well cared for her entire life. Unfortunately, due to a drastic job change and an interstate move, she now
needs a new home and a new family. This dog
is located in For more

Meet Roxie: She is a 2 ½ year old, 40 lb +/-, spayed female, Border Collie mix. We have had Roxie since she was just a puppy. She
has that silky Border collie coat with just a little white to accent her beauty. Roxie is very playful. She gets along well with other dogs and does not even mind sharing her food. We’re unsure
of how she would get along with a cat. Roxie is housetrained and very obedient; however, here she has lived her whole life
outdoors in our large, shady, fenced in yard. She also has a large, custom condo, where she has shelter from the weather. Due to her breed, Roxie does shed and will need daily maintenance grooming. Like most Border Collies, Roxie is very smart and learns new tricks and lessons easily. She is a fun-loving girl who
loves to run and play. She is wonderful with kids but may get a little too excited around smaller children, so older kids
would probably be best. Roxie loves to cuddle, be petted, stroked, and loved. She never wants to attention to stop. She is happy all the time
but does not like to be alone. She becomes very sad and will cry. She needs people or other dogs for company. Roxie has been loved and well cared for her entire life. Unfortunately, due to a drastic job change and an interstate
move, she now needs a new home and a new family. This dog is located in For more information, please contact Melinda McMillion at heart4rescue@wmconnect.com. **Courtesy Post** This dog is not an official foster animal of OOHW, but is being posted on this website as a courtesy

Looking for a Purbreed Dog? Then check out your local shelter..... Over 80% of the dogs who come through the local shelters
and humane society's are purebred dogs. Life happens, people move, folks die, financial circumstances
change, and many times these dogs end up in shelters with no hope of rescue simply because most folks have no idea they
are there. Tia, the purebred Chihuahua above, came into rescue from
the Newberry County shelter in Newberry, SC. She was scared to death, had a large inguinal hernia, and had heartworms. We
brought her into our rescue, had her spay surgery and her hernia repair operation, then had her heartworms treated. Now she
is healthy and happy and living the pampered life this tiny Chihuahua was meant to live. Then just last weekend, we rescued two tiny purebred Shih
tzus. Their owner had taken them to the vet to be put to sleep. Apparently, both dogs had serious skin infections that he
could not afford to treat. So instead of surrendering them to the fate of a county run shelter, he decided to make the
most humane choice and have them euthanasized at his vet's office. But thanks to the caring folks at the vet's office, these
girls were saved. They asked the owner if they could find these dogs a rescue would he be willing to let them live. He agreed,
much to his relief, and the two girls came into our rescue. Na Na and Bootsie are now being fostered by Paddy Newell
with Shih tzu & Prescious Paws Rescue in Springfield, VA. As soon as their skin conditions are treated and cleared, they
will be available for adoption.
Meet
Chester This
is Chester. He is a 8 year old, neutered male rough coat, purebred Jack Russell Terrier. This
little guy was taken to the vet by his owner to be euthanized. She said he had lost all control of his bodily functions. Thankfully,
my vet decided that rather than euthanize the dog on her word, he would keep Chester in a kennel and watch him for a few days.
While the dog was confined, the vet caught a urine sample. When tested, he found Chester had struvite crytsals in his urine
thus causing the poor little fella to have to urinate frequently. Now
Chester is on a Prescription food specifically formulated to dissolve the urinary crystals. Now he is happy, healthy, and
whole! The only restriction being that he will need to stay on a special diet of Prescription c/d food for the rest of
his life. (This food is not terribly expensive and is available at any vet's office. Chester eats about a cupful twice
a day). In
the Meantime, Chester needed a place to go so that he would be "Out if Harm's Way." So we have taken this little
jewel into foster care. Chester
is about 20 lbs. He is impeccably housetrained. This little guy loves everyone and never meets a stranger. According
to the vet tech who helped me get him to safety, Chester loves to play ball, he especially loves men, and was in a home with
three small boys. He also gets along with all 11 of his inside foster siblings. As
a 8 year old, Chester is still spunky and energetic but not hyper or mischievious in the least. He is a sweet lapdog who is
simply a joy to be around. Chester doesn't chew on things or bother anything around the house. He does love to eat, so
whoever adopts him will have to be careful not to overfeed him. If
you are interested in Chester, please contact Melinda McMillion at heart4rescue@wmconnect.com.
You will be asked to complete and return a Potential Home Questionnaire and provide 2 personal references. A vet reference
will also be required. This
dog is located in His
adoption fee is $175. Please check out our explanation of adoption fees on the bottom this homepage.
TO MY DOG(S): How do I love thee? Let
me count the ways... I love thee agreeably -
enough to let your stinky dog hide on the bed after a run through damp leaves, mud and slug infested gardens. I love thee steadfastly
- enough to devote a year to raising you from a wobbly speck into a strong healthy adult (who promptly attempts to seize control).
I love thee passionately
- despite your repeated efforts to probe my ears, eyes and mouth with the same tongue you use for various other atrocities.
I love thee well - despite
the amazing odors you produce. I love thee deeply - though
you use me as a napkin at every opportunity. I love thee madly - despite
the various bodily functions you have performed at inappropriate moments - in inappropriate places. I love thee constantly
- despite the dog "bladder curfew" I have lived by for many years. I love thee truly - despite
the "doggie land mines" hidden in the grass. I love thee absolutely
- because you never (well, hardly ever) hog the remote control. I love thee gratefully
- because you stay by my side (or on my side). I love thee devotedly -
more than clean carpeting, clothing, furniture, floors or walls. I love thee bravely - enough
to battle the indomitable flea on your behalf. I love thee monetarily
- enough to put the vet's children through college. I love thee openly - I
will bear any embarrassment for your furry sake. I love thee totally -more
than free time, excess cash or a predictable life. Written by Pat, a rescue
volunteer in Texas HERE IN THIS HOUSE -Author Unknown

Meet Tiger: He is an 85 pound, neutered male, purebred chocolate Lab. He was born on
Easter Sunday, April 2, 2000. Tiger has always been an outside dog living in his sister, Tiger is a happy-go-lucky fella who greets you with a toy in his mouth as a gift, especially at meal times.
He loves baseballs and eating the hide off of them, so he needs to be watched during play so he doesn't actually eat his toys! Tiger loves to play fetch. He will play as long as you will throw. He has no bad habits that we are aware of. Tiger gets along very well with other dogs. However, he has been known to chase cats. Honestly, we fear the
worst if he were to actually catch one...... Tiger is a bit overweight and inhales his food like a vacuum cleaner, so we feed him smaller meals twice a
day to avoid any of the gastrointestinal complications common to larger and older dogs. Tiger has always lived with his little sister, Tiger and This dog is located in For more information, please contact Melinda McMillion at heart4rescue@wmconnect.com. **Courtesy Post** This is not an official foster animal of OOHW, but is being posted on this website as a courtesy

“JT” This is “JT,”
he was rescued earlier this month from the We believe
“JT” to be about a year and a half old, and despite his rough start in life, he is now a happy, healthy, loving
little guy. “JT” has tons of energy, he gets along with all the other dogs here both large and small, he eats
like a small horse, and plays like there is no off switch. He is smart and exuberant, affectionate and sweet. (I personally
think he’d make a great small agility dog). “JT”
is not potty trained in the least and doesn’t have any manners whatsoever. He is by no means a delicate
wallflower. He weighs about 15 lbs and is made of sturdy stuff. His multicolored red coloring is simply gorgeous; the shading
goes from a deep red on his legs and face to a light tan over his shoulders (in the shape of angel wings) with a red stripe
down his back. His neat, short, clay colored coat shows no dirt whatsoever! This little
guy is what he is, a blank slate, no holds barred, no quirks or hidden agendas. He’s just “JT,” flat out
and honest. For more information,
please contact Melinda McMillion at heart4rescue@wmconnect.com. “JT” is located in
Noah, once again a Survivor......... This is Noah. He was dumped by his owners the week of Christmas.
He wasn't dumped at the pound, he was dumped on a country road to fend for himself. Thankfully, like the Noah of the Bible, this little fella was
a survivor too. He defied the odds of being hit by a car or abused by strangers and found his way instead to a local dog rescuer's
home. There he was welcomed with open arms, lots of nutritious food, and a warm place to lay his travel weary head. Noah was extremely shy at first, but once he learned the feel
of a caring hand, he blossomed into a sweet, loveable, little guy who now LOVES belly rubs and snuggle hugs. We believe Noah to be about 3 years old. He weighs about 30
pounds and looks to be a Shepherd/Corgi mix. He gets along with other dogs both large and small, male and female. Noah has
the bark of a much larger dog, (so he could warn off intruders), but has the maintenance and upkeep of a smaller fella. He
is also large enough to get up and down by himself, but small enough to still snuggle and lay beside you on the couch. Noah is understandably a little shy of strangers at first, but
once he realizes you're there to pay him some attention, he warms up quickly. If you are interested in adopting this fun loving little doggie,
please contact his foster mom at heart4rescue@wmconnect.com for more information. This dog is located in Spartanburg, SC.
