DAISY
Beautiful 2 year old brindle-colored
Daisy went to prison on May 2nd.
Daisy's story is sad and a story that
is all too familiar. Some uncaring, thoughtless
person decided Daisy was no longer useful and
dropped her off to fend for herself. She was
found by an SPCA volunteer in the middle of the
road, alone and frightened. It was evident that she
had recently had puppies. She was taken to the SPCA
Shelter and then sent off to prison.
Once in the prison program, Daisy
quickly learned all of her commands and can already
do a few tricks. Prison life with the inmate
trainers really suits Daisy. One reason is that she
loves the one on one attention from the trainers and
enjoys the company of her program mates Rocket and
Bailey.
Daisy will graduate on June 25th and
be ready for adoption. She is spayed, microchipped,
current on all medical treatment, vaccinated, leash
trained, "potty trained, crate trained and if
coached will give you a "high five".

BAILEY
Bailey is a 7 month old chocolate lab/
retriever mix.
When the volunteers drove into the
driveway of the SPCA Shelter for work, there was a
box sitting at the entrance. At first the
volunteers thought it was trash, passed it, and then
backed up to take a look. Inside they saw these
beautiful brown lab eyes looking out of the top and
a happy tail wagging because someone came to take
care of him. Attached was long note asking that
someone take care of this very young guy.
SPCA volunteers took him into the
shelter, squared him away and off to prison he went
on May 2. Bailey is full of wags, kisses and
sheer joy at being alive. He is quickly learning
skills to become a well-behaved family member and
will graduate and be ready for adoption on June
25th. Bailey gets along well with his program mates,
Daisy and Rocket.
He is microchipped, neutered, current
on all medical treatment and vaccinations, crate
trained, potty trained and leash trained.

permanent, loving home on June 25th as a well
behaved family member. He is good with other dogs
and kids.

trained, potty trained, leash trained, works the

LILY
Lily looks at you with those soulful hound eyes and
you know that there is a sad story behind the look,
but Lily can’t tell you. Some thoughtless,
irresponsible person took Lily to the outskirts of
town, abandoned her in a golf course community and
left her alone to fend for herself. Some kind
people took Lily in, cared for her and brought her
to the SPCA Adoption and Foster Program. So Lily
was very quickly whisked off to prison to
participate in A New Leash on Life to prepare Lily
for adoption and her new life, her loving family
and permanent home.

mix, approx 45 lbs. Lily has that sweet hound

CHAMP
A friend got out of his warm car on a cold night,
pulled his coat collar around his neck and went into
a curb market downtown. As he was returning to his
car, he saw several people at a dumpster behind the
building. He went over to see if he could help and
to his surprise there was a cold, scared whining,
shaking 7 month old bundle of fur, discarded, thrown
into a dumpster as someone would a piece of trash.
This juvenile beagle/terrier/boxer mix gave lots of
wiggles and kisses as my friend lifted him out of
the dumpster, wrapped him in his coat and took him
home as his guest for several days until he could
get him into the SPCA Foster and Adoption Program.
Off to prison Champ went. His inmate/trainer reports
Champ is extremely intelligent. After just a few
short weeks in the prison program he is walking on
leash, potty trained and crate trained.

on March 6th and become you next best friend.

EDDIE
It is pretty hard on a 12 month old little boy to
find himself abandoned in the country equipped with
nothing but a yellow hunting collar. Instead of

take care of himself especially at such a young age.
Eddie found his way to SPCA and will not have to
worry about survival again.
He is a sweet, friendly boy who wants to be with
people. Eddie gets along well with other animals. We
even found him with the SPCA cats sleeping on top of
him. Eddie is a purebred yellow lab just

Hugo
Young, oh-so-sweet, clumsy, puppy goofy Hugo
should have been in a nice fenced yard playing
with other dogs and children. Instead some
unthinking person dropped Hugo in the middle of
a very busy intersection to fend for himself.
How could such a young, inexperienced, carefree
boy know how to make the right decisions in the
confusion of horns blowing, congestion,
loud noise and fast moving cars when all he
wanted to do was frolic and play.
Hugo is a 7 month old dane mix who weighs
60lbs. He is very gentle, loves children and
other animals. Since his rescue by the SPCA he
spends most of his waking hours playing non stop
with his new friend in the program, Charlie.

Charlie loves car rides, long walks, kids and
other dogs.
Charlie is a healthy 11 month old, yellow
lab/shepherd mix.

his day playing with his new friend in the

Irish Wolfhound who is approximately 3 years.

like everyone he meets as well as children and
other dogs. He is full grown at about 65 lbs.

but it was registered to an out of state shelter
that no longer existence and could not be traced.
