Forever Residents - Santuary Dogs

These dogs ARE NOT available for adoption. They are the forever residents that the sanctuary is caring for.
All info is current as of September 14, 2017

 

Zeb

Zeb was a feral dog in very rural Logan County WV. He lived in an area with MANY other ferals and had been there his entire life. Our friends at The Paws Squad started to trap the ferals and get them into rescues. We had the pleasure of agreeing to take Zeb in here. Despite his frown, Zebby is just the happiest boy now. He is warm in the winter, cool in the summer and dry when it rains. He loves being petted and is a very special gut to me. I always pick the underdog, and Zeb is that without a doubt. Zebby is 10+ years old

 

Shasta

Shasta was found float down the Kanawha River in West Virginia on the horrible floods of 2016. She was rescued and went to the pound there, where she was reclaimed by her owners. Sadly, they had lost everything in the flood and brought her back to the pound saying she would do better in a new home than she would living in a car with them. She spent weeks at the pound with no interest until we saw her story. We picked her up the next day and she is a part of the forever pack here now. Shasta is 10+ years old.

 

Soos

Soos (normally said SSSOOOOOOSSSSS!) What a vocabulary this guy has. No one has ever heard a dog make sounds like him. He is such a good boy, but not always great with new dogs that come in. He is also the only dog I have ever seen carry four BIG Nyla bones around at one time. (He only has 2 in this picture) Soos was an owner surrended due to aggression. He is about 3 years old.

 

Jasmine

Jasmine (Now Georgia) came to us from....obviously....Georgia. She was not getting the attention she deserved due to divorce, so we agreed to bring her here and let her live the good life. Her former Mom LOVES Georgia and keeps in regular contact and sends a sponsorship for her. Georgia has bonded with Barb and is the only dog other than Maria who can sleep in bed with her. Georgia is 10+ years old.

 

Piper (Pip)

Piper (Pip) Born in the great blizzard of 2009. Our poor little girl suffered from Swimmers Syndrom from birth, and then cluster seizures. We changed her puppy food and she never had another seizure, and did physical therapy with her 3 times a day to correct her swimmers. She is now a normal dog, but the smalles of her litter. Pip is 43 pounds and all her siblings average around 80 pounds.

 

Marie Catahoula

Lonestar

Lonestar, Star Baby, Circus Dog, Church Lady, came to us from very rural Texas where she was living in an abandon church with her young puppy. A very sweet lady found them and made it her mission to save and find rescue for them. She would drive miles twice a day to bring the dogs food and water in the 110 degree Texas heat. An amazing post from Stars puppy's point of view on Craigslist had me on my way to pick them up just 24 hours after reading it. While her puppy was adopted quickly, Lonestar had heartworm and needed to spend an extended time with us. She just kind of fit here, and because of some aggression issues decided to spend her life here. Lonestar is right around 10 years old now
