Welcome to the first annual Twelve
Dogs of Christmas program from Carolina Poodle
Rescue. The staff at Dreamweaver Farms has been arguing
since Halloween about this list. They've checked it twice.
Starting on Monday, November 28th we will feature a new
dog with its own page each day for 12 days. Every webpage
will feature one of the Twelve dogs (or cat, as the case
may be) of Christmas, providing details about them, their
personalities and history, additional photos, and even
video to help you get to know these wonderful animals.
Each of these dogs comes with the following gifts for you:
Waived adoption fee
6 months heartworm preventative
50 lbs of food
Crate and bed
Collar and leash
All of these are great dogs (and one great
cat) and in the right home, they will bring you the Joy
and Happiness of the season all year long.
Guardian Angel
Can't take one home but see one that speaks to your heart?
Each of these dogs (and cat) can also be sponsored. $25
per month means a great deal to these animals. It means
canned food for older gums, soft blankets and beds,
medications when needed and a caregiver to stroke their
head and hold them close for you.*
Sponsored dogs write monthly to their guardian angels,
updating you on the going's on about the sanctuary and in
their lives. Consider being an angel to one of these dogs
in need.
* If a dog who has been adopted also receives offers of
sponsorship, CPR encourages sponsors to consider
contributing toward the support of another deserving dog
at the sanctuary. If you see a dog who moves you to
sponsor, the chances are that CPR has other dogs, who are
in size, breed, and (possibly) situation, very similar and
who also need financial support.
ADOPTED!

The Twelve Dogs of
Christmas
On the second
day of Christmas, my true love gave to me
Dino, a Chihuahua who can't see
Dino's Christmas wish came true--he was
adopted! Not only does he get a garden in his
new home but a whole farm.
Information about
Dino
Intake date: 11/21/2008
When their elderly owner could no longer care
for them, Dino and another Chihuahua were turned in to
animal control. Dino is now around 5 years old.
He is sweet natured and affectionate and, even
though he is blind, he is easy to care for. He
hasn't lost his sense of adventure and actually
loves exploring new places, very quickly
learning the lay of the land. He would love a
fenced in backyard to call his own since he
adores being outside with all of the smells and
sounds to keep him entertained. He is an
intelligent guy and doesn't let his loss of eye
sight keep him from enjoying the world. He also loves
snoozing on a warm lap and going for safe leash
walks.
Like many blind dogs, his hearing is excellent
and when you call his name, he runs to find you.
When he does find you, he gets so excited. He is
one of the favorites for the staff at CPR--so
loving and happy. Although Dino does great in
his area, he is no longer good in a crowd of
dogs, so we can't let him out with all of the
other dogs at CPR.
We took him to the vet and they confirmed this
sudden onset of blindness. They were baffled as
to its cause and treatment. Other than his
vision, he's very healthy. He would do great in
a stay at home person; most of all he needs
someone to give him the attention that he
deserves.
