Name: Sonny
Breed: Maltese
Age: 3-5
Sex: Male
Sonny's Success Story
Little Sonny’s story wasn't the happiest story around but ends happily ever after! Underdog ResQ found him in a New York City shelter. He had recently been found as a stray, matted and full of fleas. Underdog was informed that he has a grade 5/6 heart murmur. The city pound expected us to change our mind about taking him but we thought he deserved a second chance. Once with Underdog, an ultrasound showed that he has Chronic Valvular Disease. Check out information about this on www.veterinarypartner.com/content.plx?P=PRINT&A=2681. His prognosis is….well, let’s just say he doesn’t have an expiration. We all have friends with dogs that have had full lives.
Shortly after his admission and medical exams, Sonny was adopted to a loving family in Long Island, NY. It was only through word of mouth that he was adopted because many people were turned off by his medical issue. Sonny now lives in an adult home with another Maltese with medical problems. He was adopted in September of 2008.

Name: Tuna
Breed: Basenji/Pit Bull Mix
Age: 1-2 years
Sex: Male
Tuna's Success Story
A note from Tuna's foster parents who adopted him:
Tuna is the best dog ever! After being found as a stray north of Boston, this silly looking boy spent about fifteen minutes as our foster dog before we knew we HAD to keep him. Once we got him home, Tuna found his spot in my lap and fell asleep. Now, this was no catnap… this was a sprawled on his back, mouth open, tongue hanging out, snoring, totally comfortable, deep sleep. It was clear that we weren’t going to be getting rid of him any time soon. Tuna loves everyone he meets and gets a lot of attention when we go on walks, people always giggle at his ears as we pass. He doesn’t like cars very much which can be a problem because people regularly pull over to admire him or ask what kind of dog he is. Tuna is now happily spending his days living with his flunky foster parents in Boston.

Common misconceptions
before adopting a dog: |
|
1. We’re getting Rex for the kids - they will do all the work.
Maybe for the first week or so, but most kids will slack
off soon enough and the responsibility will fall on your laps.
You are considered to be the owner because you are over the age
of 21. If your kids do not walk Rex, then it is up to you that
it gets done. As much as we talk to our kids about responsibility
and as much as they agree to care for your new dog, we all know
that sooner or later most kids will lose interest or get tired.
If you can positively answer these questions and concerns, then you may be
ready to adopt Rex.
