Oreo's Freedom Flight

Oreo's Freedom Flight

We'd heard about a dog whose owner died, and relatives had brought him to the shelter. "I'd adopt this dog in a nanosecond," Translyvania shelter adoption manager Joleen Brannigan told me. She sent a few pics. Oreo's mate had been adopted but he was lingering, it was months already and he'd been passed by. Just another hound on the discard list. So we took a chance, a possible foster-to-adopt. Today Oreo flew on a sleek little Piper from Asheville to his new home in Cary.

Nicholas Gets His Chance

There were 2 dogs not one. The dogs were fine." We have rescued from the Harnett County shelter. Dogs linger in concrete stalls. When a puppy is advertised at the shelter there is a long line of adopters before the shelter even opens. For a few dollars you can adopt, with no background check, no neu
