Owen's Orphans
Born in a small Illinois town, Owen Gardner loved life and he loved people, especially his
wife, Betty Brown from Edwardsville.  He had a magnetic smile and a way of focusing on
others, to totally take in what the other person was saying, which contributed to his stellar
career as a top executive with NCR Corporation.  Owen also held a special place in his
heart for animals and almost always had a pet, starting from when he was a boy. Owen’s
last years at home with his family in San Francisco were spent in the company of a dog
named Homer, then a Katrina rescue dog named Betsy, and Max, the cat who followed
him in passing by a few days.
This section will be dedicated in the memory of Owen Gardner who recently passed.
All special needs pets in our care will be listed in this section.
Blue Eyes
Blue Eyes is a beautiful Husky Mix with a heart of
gold.  She was a little shy at first, but she has
blossomed into a wonderful pet but will need
someone who knows and understands the breed. She
would not be good in a home with small children.  She
gets along with other dogs and loves her belly rubs.  
She is approximately one year old.
Herbie
Herbie is a black lab about 1 year old. He was rescued along
with his other 6 brothers on 5/15/2007.  He really doesn't
know what it is like to have a home at all.  You see neither
Herbie nor his brothers have ever lived any where other
than a shelter.  They don't know what it's like to have a
family or be loved by someone.  
Herbie is very eager to learn and eager to please.  He is in
our daycare program and is having a great time playing with
other dogs and people too. We believe he is full grown .  He
is about 50 lbs.  Herbie has a wonderful personality, which
will make him an even better family pet.

Hunter
Hunter is about two years old and what we believe to
be a fox hound.  He is friendly with all other dogs, and
just wants everyone to be his friend.
This picture was taken the day he was rescued and he
was a bit scared and unsure of what was going on.
He has since come out of his shell and has proven to
be a happy go lucky fellow.
Doesn't really matter what kind of dog you have. If
your dog is looking for a friend, you may want to
check this guy out.  He is not dominant, and does not
challenge anyone or anything, he just wants to be
loved.
In Foster
Shiloh is a 1 1/2 year old black lab.  He has been
through a 21 day doggie boot camp, though most
of the time you would not know it to watch him
play.
He walks well on his lead, is house trained, and
loves the ball, wait, let me rephrase that,
LOVES THE BALL!!!
He is all Labrador through and through.
Give him some water and he will go swimming,
throw a newspaper and he will go fetch.  
If you love Labradors, this guy will be a perfect
pet for you.
He really wants to please you, even if he has a
short attention span.
But then, anyone who has ever had a Labrador
knows, that is part of their breed. All heart and
no attention span.
Around Hope we just call him Goofy...He is a
real sweetheart, and just a goof ball.

Mulan
Lady
Born January 1, 2007 in our home this little
girl was adopted as a puppy.  Now a year
later the family has decided "we just don't
want her anymore"  So, Poor sweet Mulan
is now looking for a better family, a "real"
home, and people who loves her for her.  
She is sweet smart, house trained, and likes
other dogs.
She also shows signs of abuse.
She is knee high and about 48 lbs.
She is a boxer lab mix.
She deserves a great home with people who
truly want a dog for Life....
Lady was adopted over a year ago to a
family with no other pets for Lady doesn't
always get along with other dogs.
The family decided one day to get another
dog, and in the end the commitment they
made to Lady when they adopted her was
broken.
So Lady is now looking again for a person to
love her.  She is house trained, very sweet in
nature to people.  She is about 7 years old
now, just under the knee tall and about 50 lbs.
We believe her to be a cattle dog shepherd
mix.
She would do best in a home with no other
pets, and more of a one on one style family.
She is very well mannered.
Eryn
Eryn is a two year old terrier mix.  She is about 16 lbs,
very sweet in nature, and she likes other dogs as well.
She would make a good family pet. She enjoys car rides,
is well behaved, and likes to be petted.
We believe that she is about a year and half to two years
old.
She was rescued on Saturday 4/19/2008 from Mount
Vernon Animal Control.

Mr. Whipple
Injured in fire at Jersey County puppy mill
Scar on top of head.
Mr. Whipple survived a fire that took the lives of others at a puppy mill in Jersey County Illinois.
He is a Westie about three years old and extremely friendly in nature.  He has a scar as shown in
the picture above though he appears to never let that get him down at all.
He loves everyone, likes to play, and run in the yard.  He is a really sweet guy.
He was left by other rescues after the raid so we decided to make room for him.
Gus
Gus is a Schnauzer male about three years old.  He
is shy at first but will warm up quickly if you just
give him a couple belly rubs and maybe a kiss.
He was also left behind by other rescues after the
raid in Jersey County but now he is with us.
He does NOT do well with cats at all so he cannot
go home with any family that has cats in or
outdoors.
