Ole Babygirl (Winky)!

*Adoption Update - Babygirl (Winky)*

Many of you remember little Winky that was rescued from a kill shelter in South Carolina along with her brother and mom. This little girl was so very small when she got to me that she was underweight, dehydrated and barely alive. I stayed up with her 24/7 for around 10 days giving her fluids every single hour by syringe. IV would have been too much for her little body and she was on a wing and a prayer. My vet told me to give her all she will take She had the will to live and drank all the fluids I would give her religiously. I had the feeling that this little girl would be mine forever because of the bond we formed. Her brother was ready for his forever home and I did want to see how she would do away from me so she went to foster with one of my amazing foster homes. Maureen is very strict foster and she makes certain she doesn't get too attached and her fosters move fast.

I soon got a call after a couple of days asking that if I didn't keep Winky could we share her. I knew at that point, my Little Miracle Winky was leaving me, it was meant to be. She was going to a amazing home with Maureen and her family, along with 2 great Basset Hounds. This was the answers to my prayers be cause I get to see Babygirl, as she is now called, pretty much every month and she has grown into such a amazing little wonder.

Just so everyone knows exactly how Winky got her name from me, She wasn't always at full strength but when she was she would also look and focus on me and wink with one little eye. I knew then she was focused on getting better and she would survive!

Thank you to Maureen and her great family for loving this little miracle as much as I do and giving her that love every single day!

Beaches was the "underdog" at a South Carolina kill shelter. Beaches was your typical little black lab pup that noone wanted. Time ticked away and no rescue had stepped up for Beaches. GROWL was tagged as the last resort rescue.

Beaches came to New Jersey via GROWL and she went into her foster home in Washington Township, New Jersey. Amy and her family loved her from day one and she started learning her "house manners". She also was renamed Melissa, this little girl soon had a amazing shiny coat, great car manners and was a true lovebug blossoming! After a little over a month, Melissa (Beaches) was soon adopted to the Noe family of Brick, New Jersey!

As you can see, she has settled in quite nicely and also has 2 sisters, Ginger a senior Golden and Skyler a wonderful Boston Terrier. I want to thank the Noe Family for giving such a wonderful home to this special "underdog", she is now known as "Baby", A name she clearly meets all requirements to have!

Mickey and Minnie * New Adoptable GROWLKIDS!

Warning! These 2 little cuties will make you squeal! They are absolutely adorable and they LOVE chasing each other! Mickey and Minnie are 13-14 weeks old and they are Corgi/Chihuahua mixes. They are also pretty bonded and it would be wonderful if they could be adopted into the same home. Mickey and Minnie were in a high kill shelter in South Carolina, and also upon arrival suffered from hair loss. They were fostered by a shelter employee until they were ready to find their forever homes! These 2 are absolutely adorable and would be wonderful with kids, other playful pups and cats wouldn't be a problem at their age.

Polo Enjoying New Jersey!

Polo was rescued with his sibling Marco from a kill shelter in South Carolina. Marco was a mere 12 weeks when he was rescued at currently he is about 6-7 months old and as you can see has grown into a very handsome man! Christian found Polo on Petfinder and the adoption meeting with his foster mom Amy was setup. Little Polo put his charm on and was adopted soon after by Christian. Another lucky GROWLKID starting a new life in New Jersey!

Nayla (McGee) Found Her Forever Family In New Jersey!

Nayla was just a little girl when she found herself in a kill shelter in rural South Carolina. She won the hearts of the shelter staff because she was just so sweet and cute. She was soon rescued by GROWL and set off to find her forever home! Nayla (on the left) soon made herself right at home in New Jersey and she even has a sister Marley that was adopted from the Newark, New Jersey shelter a few years back. They are quite the pair now and loving the summers outside playing. Nayla now has a new name, McGee. Congrats to Nayla and her forever family!

BeeGee Loving Her Forever Home In Pompton Lakes, NJ!

BeeGee was turned into the shelter in South Carolina because her family "couldn't afford her". They said BeeGee was about 12 years old and actually very overweight. This sweetie went into foster in South Carolina and was waiting for her rescue. As soon as I saw BeeGees picture online I knew that GROWL had to rescue this lovebug and find her a true forever home. She made her way to New Jersey via GROWL and has since found her forever mom Danyelle and her fur-brothers and fur-sister! She is loved and secure in her forever home and is quite the unique lady. She is actually about 5-6 years old and full of personality. She nibbles her mommy when she wakes before her so Danyelle can take her out and when she gets a treat she takes it and hides it for later. She clearly has alot to smile about! They both do because Danyelle knows that she has a true gem as an addition to her family! She also has a name change and she goes by Lucy now, so she has a complete new start in life!

Georgia Boy Claims Manhattan!

 Mr. Clayton found himself in a very high kill shelter in Georgia. He was on the kill line for a Friday. GROWL stepped up for Clayton and on Thursday evening Clayton was out of there and safe! He was fully vetted and made his way to New Jersey via GROWL. He was placed on Petfinder and Adopt-a-Pet and as soon as Gwen say Clayton she knew she wanted to adopt him. The meeting was setup and I would love to say it clearly was love at first sight. Clayton had found his forever home with Gwen and Joel, there was no looking back from this boy.

He is enjoying Central Park in the top picture and as you can see he truly has found a secure and loving home enough to let loose and relax in the bed too!

 Congrats Gwen, Joel and Clayton!

Pixar Takes Manhattan!

 

Mr. Pixar has taken over Manhattan! Pixar was rescued by GROWL after he was discovered in a kill shelter in South Carolina. Pixar had been there about 9 months and just didn't really bond with anyone that wanted to rescue him. So as a shelter favorite he had lasted there for months but poor Pixar deserved a forever home. Once GROWL saw Pixar he was sure to come along and be a GROWLKID! Since being rescued Pixar has basically taken over Manhattan, sniffing and smelling every stoop, hydrant and everything around! Congrats on Pixar on FINALLY finding your FOREVER loving home.

Zoey (Farrah) Takes Manhattan!

Farrah found herself in a kill shelter in South Carolina. She had quite a few strikes against her, she was 5-6 months old and past that itty bitty puppy stage, she is black, and she was in the south. That's actually 3 strikes against her and generally those are enough that she can't make it out alive. Fortunately for Farrah, she was rescued by GROWL and was on her way to a new life. Farrah came up to New Jersey in search of her second chance and her forever home. She was already basically housetrained and had great manners as well. She was a true gem! Kathryn and Scott applied for Farrah and were approved to foster to adopt this lovely southern girl. She is doing well in Manhattan as you can tell and she is getting the much love that she deserves! Thank you to Kathryn and Scoot for opening their hearts and home to Farrah and providing her with the security that she needs as well. Farrah also has a new name to start her new life, so Zoey as she is now called is truly one lucky lady!

Cocoa Has Opened Up and Is Loving Life!

Cocoa is a beautiful phantom cockapoo, she was a little shy lady. She was rehomed by GROWL to the Bell family in South Jersey. Cocoa now has a fur-brother named Jet thats also a cockapoo. She soon opened up and Jet and Cocoa have become the best of friends now. As you can see she is enjoying her big back yard and her and Jet play chase all the time. GROWL thanks the Bell family for opening their loving home to Cocoa and giving her the security she needed to open up and be the wonderful little lady that she is.

Terra Has Warmed Up To Her New Home in Manhattan!

Terra was accepted by GROWL from a breeder that was downsizing on her females and wanted to find them excellent homes. Terra made her way to New Jersey via retired rescuer Kerry Bryce. Terra was in foster with Dawn for a couple of weeks and eventually found her forever home in New York. Terra was quite shy and needed to know a little security. She has since warmed up to Rick and doing very well.

She shares her new home with another spoiled dachshund sister. As you can see, Precious has indeed made her mark in her home and she too is being spoiled like she so very much deserves. Another precious GROWLKID gets her second chance at life! Precious is now named Noobie!

Brianna Is LOVING Her New Life In Hawthorne, New Jersey

As I looked through the kill list at a South Carolina shelter this little petite choclate lab caught my eye. I watched her for a couple of days and noone stepped up to pull her. I didn't understand it at all, so the day before transport was heading to New Jersey, I pulled little Brianna and she headed north in search of her forever home. Soon after being in New Jersey she had a adoption appointment thanks to a wonderful GROWL supporter Ilena! They were immediately smitten with Brianna and she had indeed found her new home and she also has a fur-brother as well thats a quite large black lab. They go on walk and hikes all the time and love the outdoors! Brianna is now named Molly and she is indeed a very lucky labby girl!

Kalani of the 7 Sizzling Sisters! Three Years Later....

There was a litter of seven black lab female puppies at a rural kill shelter in South Carolina. Little Kalani was indeed one of those seven. She continues to be a wonderful companion to mom Liza. Here is a wonderful updated picture of Kalani, its been great watching Kalani grow up as we have stayed in touch with Liza and we have seen updates and pictures of her growing so big and beautiful! Thanks Liza for opening your home and heart to this wonderful girl 3 years ago. She truly is a fortunate girl.

Spice & Her Brothers Turn TWO!

Spice was the only female in the litter of puppies that were rescued from a rural high kill shelter in Barnwell, South Carolina. Spice was a very sweet and loving little lady and always did have unique markings. The litter recently celebrated their 2 year birthdays. Time has passed and all of these babies have grown to be so big and beautiful and are very smart and loyal. This litter is the litter that was also seen on The Martha Stewart Show. Spice was actually my adoption appointment following the filming of the show. We went from the show to her home visit and adoption finalization. It was there that I actually was able to watch the show with Donna as she had taped it. I thank all of these babies homes and want to post some of the updates as well because they are all so very special as are all of the GROWLKIDS. Spice is now named Lexi and is residing in New Jersey.

Senior Chihuahua Frannie Has Welcomed Two Human Siblings!

It seems like just a few months ago Frannie and Frankie were in South Carolina at a rescue and not getting any interest. In fact it was almost 2 years ago! GROWL was asked by that rescue to please acccept them and place them in NJ/NY if at all possible. They were irresistable so they both headed north and GROWL was in search of finding them a forever home. A couple of weeks later Anthony and Mindy saw them and adopted both Frankie and Frannie. They saw the love and care they so craved and deserved. A little while after their first baby was born Frankie started getting very protective so we had to move Frankie from the home and relocate him to another family in New Jersey that has spoiled him rotten as well. These are a couple of pictures of little Frannie now with her family and now her two human siblings!

Elijah Is Almost FOUR! Unbelievable....

It merely seems like yesterday GROWL rescued a litter of little black lab mix puppies from a rural kill shelter in South Carolina. Well Eli (Elijah) is clearly proof that time has flown by and that he clearly was adopted to a wonderful couple in New York that love him dearly! He is almost FOUR years old! Seeing updates and pictures of Eli over the years has been just delightful and I can't thank the Travers family for giving this amazing boy a GREAT home!
