Shar Li
|
Hello everyone. My name is Shar Li. I am a very handsome boy. My story is a little different from the others here, but the same in the respect I still ended up in a shelter. I was loved by my previous owner until she died. Unfortunately, she made no provisions for me if she were no longer able to care for me. Her "next of kin" dumped me in a high kill shelter in Southern CA. You would think they could do better for me. I did, after all, give their mother the best years of my life. That is not to say that I don't still have a lot of good years to give my next family. I was very traumatized by this chain of events, and for the first two weeks here in Redding I would not eat. I showed no emotion to anyone. I was so afraid and confused I just didn't know what to do. I'm happy to say I am eating again, and I love my foster dad, Rich. He has shown me so much kindness and gone out of his way to make sure I know I am loved again. I would like a new family, but I need a family who will understand that it make take me a while to get to know them. I'm a little wary right now of totally giving my heart away before I get to know you a little bit. Once I know you are in my life to stay, I am a happy loving guy. If you come to Redding to meet me, please understand that for me there is no more "love at first sight". You must prove your love for me first. I hope you can understand why I feel the way I do.
As you read my story, please think about your own dogs. Please have a plan in place so that what happened to me won't happen to your beloved pets. It's not an easy thing to think about, but you need to be sure your pets will have a safe place to go if and when the time comes you can no longer care for them. I got lucky, but in matters of life and death, luck should not be the deciding factor.

This brindle beauty is TJ, she is a six and a half year old Chinese Shar-Pei Shepherd mix that was surrendered to the shelter because she not getting along with all the dogs in the neighborhood. TJ is a very sweet and loving dog. She is very patient and would probably be great with little kids. She doesn't mind cats and would probably just fine living with them. TJ has pancreatitis but she is happy and healthy and just needs to stay on her special food. TJ has been friendly with the dogs she has met here at the shelter but because of her previous issues we think a home without dogs will be the best fit for her. TJ is a very loving dog who has a lot to share with a family, she just has to find her perfect fit! Adoption-$85

Boo

Hello. My name is Boo because I arrived in Redding just before Halloween, and I guess it's going to stay that way after Halloween as well. I came to Redding by way of the Long Beach Shelter in Southern CA. Lucky for me, my foster mom has a soft spot for the dogs from L.B. since that is where she was born and raised. I don't know where I was born, but I was picked up on a freeway by the Highway Patrol after being hit by a car. I didn't have any broken bones but plenty of cuts and scrapes. I guess all that wasn't bad enough because my owners never came to get me. I had run out of hope and places to go when the folks here in Redding came to my rescue. As you can probably see in the photo, I have had surgery on my eyes, but even before that I was quite a handsome guy. I am a black brushcoat, and all my fur is growing back in where I had lost it in my unfortunate encounter with a car. I have settled in here but would really like a home of my own. If you like what you see, ask about me...

Hi there. My name is Diamond, and I am here in Redding by way of Las Vegas. I am a young black horsecoat girl, and I try to get along with everyone. As with so many of my new friends here at the rescue, I needed entropion surgery which is now complete. It seems my previous owners used the very worn out excuse of "moving" to dump me at the shelter. Really, what city or state does not allow dogs? It might take a little more work to find a place to live where I could live too, but it seems to me I'm worth the effort, or maybe not. I guess I just didn't realize that I was so disposable. The shelter was not going to keep me so they called my foster parents here in Redding, and thankfully at that time there was a space for me. The dogs who need help now are not so fortunate, nor will they have the opportunity to find a great home. In fact for many there will be no home at all-the shelter is where their lives will end without anyone they know to hold them and love them one last time. I keep them in my thoughts when I count my blessings...

Lou

Hello to all of you Pei fans out there. My name is Lou, and I came from a place called "Sheep Ranch" in Calaveras County. It's a unique kind of town where the sheep roam free, and the rest of us critters must be contained. I managed to become "un" contained and it seems I have far too much interest in the wandering sheep. The ranchers were gunning for me so I had to skip town and hitch a ride to Redding! I can live with dogs and cats, and I like kids too, but those sheep are just too tempting so I probably should not be around livestock-as much as I try to control myself sometimes instinct just kicks in! I know they say black dogs are the hardest to get good photographs of and this photo does help to prove that theory. I am much better looking in person, and I know I could win you over with my charming personality if you were to come to Redding to meet me. My eye may look a little strange, but that is because I still have the sutures in from my eye surgery. Aside from that I am waiting patiently for some of you folks to make the journey to Redding so I can show you what I'm all about. I look forward to meeting you. By the way, if you should fall in love with one of my sisters or brothers here, that's ok with me too. You see we're all in this together, and we all celebrate when one of us gets a forever home and family because the next time it could be me...
