We were told that no one else would take the stray dog because he was “aggressive”. Eddie had been found running loose on the streets. No one knew for how long, and no one knew what he had encountered. When we first met Eddie it was obvious that he was very frightened – if anyone reached out to give him a treat he would snarl and lunge. Just looking at Eddie and making eye contact would send him into a fit. In the beginning we simply ignored Eddie and dropped treats on the floor – Eddie started to nibble, and then nibble more. Curiosity got the best of Eddie that day. In no time flat Eddie was taking treats from our hands and giving us lots of kisses. From that day on Eddie knew he would never have to be frightened of people again. Eddie lived for a year at the sanctuary and learned basic obedience and played with other dogs. His lucky day came when Amy saw Eddie on-line. Amy read his story and knew he was the one. Eddie now lives in a big house and even gets to go to work with Andrew! Eddie found the perfect home, and Andrew and Amy tell us they found the perfect dog.

Emma Lou came to Rescued Tails after being rescued from an abusive home. When Emma arrived at Rescued Tails she was able to run and play, roll around in the grass and bark – all the fun things dogs do. Emma was always very sweet and would immediately sit in front of visitors to get the attention she so loved. For over a year, people would come and go, but Emma never got what she really wanted – a real home. One day Meredith was scanning the web site and spotted Emma Lou. Meredith thought to herself, “She looks like the perfect dog for us!” It turns out that Mike and Meredith were the perfect home for Emma! Emma now enjoys her days going on long walks and getting lots of love and attention – Emma’s dream has come true – her very own forever home!
