Name: Ginger
Breed: Whippet Mix
Age: 9 years
Sex: Female
Ginger's Success Story
Precious little Ginger was mistreated her whole life. A victim of severe neglect, she had a collar deeply embedded in her neck and was scared, but yet a very sweet girl. Her new mom could not help but take one look at her face and fall madly in love.
Here is a note from Ginger's wonderful new family:
The first couple of months with Ginger were not easy. She was very timid, her tail between her legs all the time. She had lost almost all her teeth and was a bit underweight. She would shake when pet. She would not walk across hard floors or go up and down stairs. Now fast forward to the present and we have a happy, tail wagging girl who is finally enjoying the life she deserves. She and Cassie, her greyhound sister, are real friends now. Sometimes they share the sofa, roam around the almost 1/4 acre yard and enjoy walks together.
Ginger loves to roll around in the grass. She greets all visitors who come to the house and especially loves children. She also makes a great watchdog when needed. The story of her unfortunate past has brought tears to the eyes of some who meet her. She is an absolute joy and has brought much happiness to our home. She shares her house with her Mom, Dad, two human brothers Danny and David, her Greyhound sister Cassie, a 3 foot corn snake Jake and two other rescued animals, Guinea pigs Oliver and Cookie. On October 1st that year we lost Peaches and on October 2nd Underdog Resq took Ginger from a shelter. I truly believe fate brought her to us and it was meant to be.
Thank you,
The Winsor Family

Name: Stella (Boston)
Breed: Shepherd Mix
Age: 2-3
Sex: Female
Stella (Boston)'s Success Story
Stella was admitted by Underdog ResQ in October of 2007 and adopted shortly after in December. Her first life story may not have ended well ,with being found on the streets of Northshore MA, but the new book of Stella is a happy one. Stella now lives with a wonderful family that adores her.
Here is a note we received in June 2008 updating us about Stella's new life:
Stella has been with us for almost six months, but
right from the beginning she made herself at home. She
is truly a wonderful girl, loves her “treats’ and
becomes extremely excited when her box of biscuits is
shaken. Mention the word and she comes streaking from
the far end of the yard. She also loves chasing tennis
balls (although four good runs is her limit) and
riding in the car, anywhere, even if it’s a two minute
excursion. Most of all, Stella likes to be with her
“people” – welcoming us home from work is a
performance befitting a drama queen with much carrying
on and stomach rubbing. Like most abandoned dogs, she
has a few phobias. She “hits the floor” (under the
bed) at the first signs of a fire truck or snow plow
and disappears into a corner at the first inkling of a
thunderstorm. She is not sure that she cares for other
dogs, but more canine socialization is the plan for
summer. Many thanks to Underdog ResQ and to super
foster parents Alyssa and Louis for taking such good
care of her. She is a much-loved member of our family.
Another happy story....yay!

Common misconceptions
before adopting a dog: |
|
1. We’re getting Rex for the kids - they will do all the work.
Maybe for the first week or so, but most kids will slack
off soon enough and the responsibility will fall on your laps.
You are considered to be the owner because you are over the age
of 21. If your kids do not walk Rex, then it is up to you that
it gets done. As much as we talk to our kids about responsibility
and as much as they agree to care for your new dog, we all know
that sooner or later most kids will lose interest or get tired.
If you can positively answer these questions and concerns, then you may be
ready to adopt Rex.
