It's getting to be that time! After (9) days apart, I'll be retuning on shift tomorrow and reuniting with my best girl, Lillie!

It's going to be tough to get back into that fast pace of rescue. I'm sure I have MANY pending voice mails, complaints, possibly some dog bites needing to be addressed etc. Please just bear with me, I'll be sure to get back to everyone.

The one thing that I'm looking forward to is seeing this smiling face once again. She's going to be my priority tomorrow. Tomorrow just so happens to mark yet another month that she has been living behind bars. (8) months in for this girl
😢.

Let's all keep sharing her story and hold hope that she will connect to her furever person! 🤞

If you are interested in Lillie, feel free to submit an application online at Pawtucketanimalshelter.com, or apply in person at the Pawtucket Animal Shelter in Rhode Island. For any further questions, feel free to call #401-616-2561!

(LILLIE LOVES PEOPLE AND SHOULD DO WELL WITH OLDER KIDS. SHE DOES REQUIRE TO BE THE ONLY PET IN THE HOME!)

⚠️🚫Say NO! to retractable leashes
Your dog’s safety should always be a priority when you’re out for walk.
⁉️ Did you know that retractable leashed can pose serious risks to both your dog and you?

1️⃣ Entanglements in the cord can cause sever injures for dogs and humans such as burns, cuts and even amputation to finger.

2️⃣ Less control: dogs can run into traffic or have uninvited contact with dogs and humans. A dog at 20ft is more likely to wander into the road or make unwanted contact with other dogs or people.

3️⃣ Handles are bulky and easy to drop, resulting in a runaway dog.

4️⃣ Retractable leashes train dogs to pull during walks because they learn that pulling extends the leash.

❤️🐶 To avoid these hazards, please consider a standard nylon or leather leash during walks.

Please, take care of your dogs and keep them leash for their safety and everyone else’s safety ❤️🐶

Jerome Horwitz, famous for playing CURLY in "THE THREE STOOGES", was known to all as a protector of dogs. Curly's contract with Columbia Pictures included a clause that allowed his dogs to accompany him on the studio lot. Columbia limited it to no more than two dogs at a time, this due to the puppies' unplanned on-camera appearances from time to time. You can still see those surprise dog on set invasions in the first few short films. Typically surrounded by various dogs, Curly was known to come home with a stray dog ​​and foster it until he could find it a permanent home. When the Stooges were out on the road, Curly took it upon himself to find a new home for at least one stray dog ​​in every town they visited. Curly is estimated to have saved and rescued more than 5,000 dogs in his lifetime. This makes him a man ahead of his time, with a very admirable concern for man's best friend. ❤

Due to changes in my life, I will not be accepting any new clients. Also, my availability will be very limited and only for locals in the Quiet Corner.
Thank you!
