Success story: LOOT



It's been almost 3 years since we rescued the mangy little boxer puppy from the water-logged streets of New Orleans, and I thought it might be time to share some recent photos of how life has turned out for one of our most beloved rescues.

Loot, who was hanging on death's door when we rescued him, not only found a new home with a very loving owner, but an exceptionally comfortable life that even most people would envy. Loot, pictured below with his doggie sister, Lexi, lives life high on the hog these days. His taste for cheese is indulged in the form of brie and cheese whiz (a Hurricane dog is not necessarily discriminatory!) and many gourmet meals. It's a long way from the mashed potatoes that Lacey and I fed him to keep the little guy alive.

As we near the third anniversary of our rescues in New Orleans, let us honor those that have helped our little rescues find happiness, love and full bellies after enduring such a horrific ordeal in the Bayou. We could not have been successful without all the love from our great supporters who helped us get there or without the many of you who fostered and adopted our little survivors.

Thank you. There is no better word for this than: GRATEFUL.

Loot, happy, well-fed, and loved...three years after being found as a mere skeleton of a pup, hanging onto life by a thread. This is why we know what we did was right for all.
