Get ready for an all new and even better Biggy Iggy Auction in
2010. With an increased need for support, we will run two auctions
this year! The first one will begin in April 2010 and the second later
in the fall, October 2010.
Nikki is to be adopted soon!
She came in to Rescue at 1.5 pounds less than her now perfect 8.5 pounds. Had as many litters as her tiny frame could handle. Thanks to
your support she has had the veterinary care that she needed. She is a love and thanks all of you!
2010 Angel - All About
Bernie
by Leslie
I'd like to tell you all a little bit about myself and how
I found my forever home with Leslie Snyder in Florida.
So I guess you
know my name is Bernie short for Bernadette (too girly for me!) and I’m
almost 16 years old. I grew up in Texas with many other IGs and I have some
children and most likely some grandchildren, but they never write!
When I was 12 and my sister Ana was 11, our mom became ill and we were taken
to the pound. A really nice lady named Monika brought us home and decided we
needed to go to the dentist. I lost all my teeth and my lower jaw (I’m a
little camera shy at times) but Ana was the lucky one because she got to
keep two teeth! She looked like a walrus! Monika told a really cool lady
named Amy and Amy told my mom Leslie about us. Mom called Monika, and Mom
crossed her fingers that we would recover from going to the dentist well
enough to fly to Florida. We both got well enough to fly and on March 6th,
2006, we flew to Florida to retire!
Ana suddenly became ill when the
whole contaminated dog food situation came to light and we lost her on
August 31, 2007. I’ve never seen Mom cry so much and I’ll always miss my
cohort.
I’ve had some health problems since 2006 and have overcome
most of them, heartworms and Lyme’s Disease, not to mention the whole
missing lower jaw situation. Right now I am battling Farah Fawcett Cancer
and doing well 4 months post diagnosis with steroid therapy.
When you
think about IG Rescue, think about me. My mom and I have had almost 4
fantastic years together, and I’m 16 and counting! When she goes on a road
trip to pick up a new foster, I get to go have you ever been on a 350-mile
nap? I have! I’ve been to the Keys, the photographer, and met so many foster
brothers and sisters I’ve lost count. I’ve been given a second chance at
happiness and me and my mom spend a lot of time arguing who loves who more.
She says I have been the best friend she has ever had and feels lucky that
we found each other when we did.
Sincerely,
Bernie
How do we take one scared little girl and make her ready for her forever
home?
It was 2009 and Emily was a two-year old Italian Greyhound. She was
surrendered to Italian Greyhound Rescue the day after Christmas 2009.
Extremely thin and afraid, her first days in rescue were a bit traumatic
for her.
But soon she began to thrive in her new healthy and loving
environment. Her story has a very happy ending, thanks to Italian Greyhound
Rescue.
Your time and generosity will help
many needy little IGs receive the care and love they deserve.

hopeful adopters from people who met her at IG playdates and meet &
greet events. There was just something special about Gali.
