The Ark of Hope Rescue

This is sweet old Mable. We didn't know what her name was, but because she looked like an old dog we gave her an old name! Mable ended up at Arctic Ridge Kennels during a thunder storm, April 2001. We didn't know if she was lost or if someone "dumped" her. After putting posters up, calling all of the vets offices as well as the animal shelter, watching the lost and found section in the Cumberland Times as well as placing an add in the paper for: "found Black Lab/Chow mixed," putting her in our car and riding her from house to house asking everyone we could find if they knew her, we starting losing hope that she ran away.

UPDATE: Mable was adopted and has a great life now, although she is very scared of thunder and lightning storms. Most people looking for a dog to fulfill their lives look for a young one. Mable is the proof that an older dog makes a wonderful family pet!

UPDATE: After adopting Mabel she lived 7 years with her new family, when her owners had to sadly "let her go" due to a large internal mass...she couldn't breathe. Her owners believe that those 7 years were some of the best in their lives!

Whiskers (right) is a male Wired Hair Fox Terrier that came to Ark of Hope Rescue on Wednesday, April 19th. Whiskers was outside ALL winter chained to a dog box. A lady took him from her neighbor after not being able to watch this little dog outside all the time. She thought that he would get along with her two Pug dogs, but her older dog didn't want anything to do with Whiskers, so in his best interest she signed him over to Ark of Hope Rescue so that we may find him a home. That's right, Whiskers is a happy, healthy little dog that love kids and loves to play and is ready to be adopted! Maybe you can help us find him a home?

UPDATE: Whiskers has a home! Yeah! He now lives with a family in Arlington, VA.

Stitch (left) is a yellow lab mixed with Dalmatian. As you can see he is all white. He is a nice little dog that was abandoned when his owner was evicted from her apartment. Not able to take him with her, she left him. Stitch is healthy and can be placed up for adoption immediately. He loves to play and is good with men, women and children! Can't you help us find him good homes?

Rollie (right) was abandoned along with Stitch when their owner was evicted from their home. Rollie is a very lovable dog that is craving love and attention. Both dogs would make a great family pet, especially a family with children that like a play ball and play fetch. Hopefully, you may know someone that needs Stitch and/or Rollie as badly as they need them!  

UPDATE: Stitch now has a home! and Rollie went with him. A man from Hancock came to "see" Stitch and when he saw how Stitch and Rollie were best friends he decided that he didn't want to separate them, so he took them both home! Good luck Stitch and Rollie!
