Sandee - ADOPTED 11.14.10

Sweet Sandee came into care with LDDR in September 2010 all the way from Holland….Holland, MI that is. A young dog, Sandee had many losses in her short life. Her original owner was completing military training and a tour of duty in Iraq so left Sandee with a relative until he returned. Unfortunately, his wife, needing treatment for cancer, required a sterile environment so he could not take Sandee back. Then, the family caring for Sandee encountered financial problems and could no longer afford to keep her. The shelter where Sandee was surrendered was overcrowded and Sandee was in danger of being euthanized. Luckily, LDDR was notified and brought Sandee into care. Sandee’s adorable face and sweet personality was irresistible to everyone who met her. She freely gave ‘kisses’ to anyone and loved having her belly rubbed. Parting with Sandee was difficult for the foster mom, but she knew if she didn’t let Sandee go she couldn’t foster another dog in need. Many wonderful families applied for Sandee making that decision even much harder. One family in particular fell in love with Sandee over the internet and came all the way from Connecticut to meet her. It was love at first sight all over again. So thrilled was the family when they learned they were chosen to adopt Sandee, they drove back again from Connecticut in snowy weather, an 11-hour drive, just to pick her up. After returning to Connecticut, they quickly informed the foster mom that Sandee did just fine on the journey home and is enjoying playtime with her new canine brother and feline friends.

Sam-ADOPTED 07.14.10

Sam is the eptiome of all that we do and the reason we call ourselves Last Day Dog Rescue. Sam was already sedated in his kennel waiting for the final injection to end his life. It almost seems like a miracle that he was rescued. We don't know why Sam ended up in a shelter. Perhaps he ran away from home, or perhaps his former owner fell victim to the economic crisis many face. For Sam, it's a second chance at life. He is now learning all about his new family which includes a canine buddy and feline friend, and the promise of being spoiled. Does it get any better than this!

Shane - ADOPTED 08.15.09

Shane ended up in the Inkster shelter as a stray. Although a senior, Shane was a bit of a wild child in the foster home, which might explain how he ended up as a stray in the first place. This poor little guy’s teeth were so bad that some of them fell right out when he was given a treat. But his fiesty nature and tooth loss was no matter to the family that spotted him on LDDR’s website. They were searching for a companion for their grandmother who was very lonely after the death of her former mini schnauzer. Shane made quite a hit with the grandmother and the whole family was very excited to adopt him as a permanent member of the household.
