"All my dogs have been a ladder for me to God." Poppy's Mom

And God gives us these little ones, loving, forgiving, and comforting us, and knowing that we are physical beings, he gives us these little creatures to hug and kiss, to nourish and fulfill our need to touch, especially when we are alone.

Animals are God's Creatures

"Animals are God's creatures.
He surrounds them with his providential care.
By their mere existence they bless him and give him glory.
Thus men owe them kindness.
We should recall the gentleness with which saints
like St. Francis of Assisi or St. Philip Neri treated animals. "

"It is contrary to human dignity
to cause animals to suffer or die needlessly."

Missy, the Party Girl

Hi there! My name is Missy. I was rescued from a shelter in Vicksburg, Mississippi. I'm not sure why I was not wanted by my people. They just dumped me off one day - it really hurt. I could not understand because I'm a lady and lots of fun. No one knew my name or anything about me. They said I was extremely neglected by my people. This is what I looked like. I'm so embarrassed.

Anyway, I was lucky 'cause this nice lady drive over 200 miles to pick me up and took me her home with her. She was my foster mom with Northcentral Maltese Rescue. She called me Maggie. (I've had so many names but I answer to anything as long as I am called with love.) After grooming, my foster mom found out how beautiful I am. Of course, I knew I was beautiful all along.

I received lots of medical care through Northcentral Maltese Rescue. I had some skin problems as well as coccidiosis from being in the shelter. After these problems cleared up, I was spayed and had dental work. I had very bad teeth because of neglect. All my shots were brought up to date. I'm grateful that I tested heartworm negative. Ughhhhh!

Actually, I'm more than lucky. I'm blessed because soon I went home to my forever mom and dad. They are sooo good to me. I have lots of energy, love to party and take walks. Life is wonderful, and I'm very happy.

Don't I have beautiful eyes? I'll melt your heart.
