The Rescue Round-Up

Second Chance Pet Adoption League Kahlua is a very sweet senior shepherd/elkhound mix rescued from an area shelter. She has had a rough life judging from her many scars and torn ear, but remains sweet-natured and friendly. Kahlua is housebroken, calm, and gentle, and walks well on a leash. She gets along with male dogs and is a wonderful, easy going companion who will easily adapt to a new home. Topsy is a pretty 5-year-old purebred miniature poodle looking for a home. She is very sweet, affectionate, and loves attention, and gets along well with other dogs. These dogs and many more are available through Second Chance Pet Adoption League of Oak Ridge. Visit www.secondchance.petfinder.com or call 973-208-1054 for more information. Adoption days are every Sunday at the Animal Clinic of Morris Plains 12:30 to 3 p.m. at 3009 Route 10 East, next to 5 Star Car Wash. Mylestone Equine Rescue Mylestone Equine Rescue recently added two horses to its rescue farm in Phillipsburg. Their latest rescue is Clyde, a 25-year-old hack horse who was pulled from the kill pen days before heading to a slaughter plant. He is black with an almost completely gray face. Clyde is swaybacked and has many scars and cysts, the result of carrying a heavy saddle for many years. MER is hoping that with some TLC he may be used for brushing when special needs students visit the farm. Partly Cloudy is a roughly 10- year-old large gray pony. His owner was under 18 and contacted us for help because her mother was planning on taking Cloudy to auction. Two people had fallen off Cloudy while riding and they were unable to sell him as a result. Clyde and Cloudy are both in great need of sponsors and donations to support their daily care. For more information, visit www.mylestone.org or call 973-995-9300. Noah’s Ark Animal Welfare Association Winnie is a 4-year-old dog who is very sweet and gentle. She wandered onto a farm in Kentucky and, despite best attempts, was never claimed by previous owners. Winnie would do well with a family with young children. She sits for treats and loves dogs, cats, and car rides. Cirus is a 1-year-old kitty who was rescued from a terrible hoarder situation in Chester. She is one of over 140 cats removed. In the beginning, Cirus was terrified, but is much more social thanks to the work of Noah’s Ark volunteers. She will need more human interaction to build up her confidence. Cirus now needs the love and attention that she so desires. Cirus is spayed and up-to-date on routine shots. For more information on Winnie, Cirus, or Noah’s Ark and their many upcoming fundraising events, please visit www.noahsarknj.org or call 973-347-0378.
