I Am A Reputable Breeder

Jingle Bells

Georgie

A Hero Of Our Time

rescued by Northcentral Maltese Rescue Racine, WI USA

By Marie Willcox

This is no ordinary Hero.  This is Georgie boy, whose life started out in a mill.  Heavens knows how or why, but Georgie, even with no use of his little legs, was forced into breeding, his miserable start to life, like so many other dogs.  He was rescued by the Northcentral Maltese Rescue in Racine, Director Mary Palmer, and then adopted by Vicki Manker, after the veterinarian decided it was best to remove all four legs, as Georgie was manoeuvring around on his tummy due to the legs not being functional at all.    I keep asking myself, how did this sweet little guy breed,  but after seeing a little video  of him manoeuvring around at break neck speed on his tummy,  a very short time after his operation, still amazes me.  This brave little guy even gives you a smile.

It is unbelievable that, after the miserable life he started out with, he shows no animosity to anyone.  He smiles at everyone he meets,  and because he cannot  jump out of his bed when someone comes  into the house, he just grabs his squeaky in his mouth and squeaks like crazy with excitement. Everyone on the group email, cannot get enough of Georgie, because he is a unique little hero,  and nothing stops him.  He has a special place in all our hearts as well as that special place between Vicki and John Manker.  His little bed is placed between their pillows, so they can both see him at all times.  So this little guy snuggles down to sleep so easily knowing how much he is loved.

Everyone on this rescue  have fostered  and  adopted.  Mary has had over 500 if not a 1000 or more dogs  pass through her home for fostering then go on to be adopted.  

These people amaze me with the love and dedication they show and how much they give up to help save and give these little dogs a loving home.   There are some terrible stories, some so unbelievable, what some of these dear little dogs have gone through,  some terrified when they first go into foster, but by the time they are adopted the fear is going, because they have found true love and affection. 

Without the rescues God only knows what would happen to them, as many are just dumped on a road in a woods, in bins.  It makes me wonder how they can ever trust anyone again. 

Georgie is living proof  of what dedicated love and affection can do, as most would have put this little guy down and never given him the chance. 

Doctor Ray, Mary’s vet  does wonderful work on all these little rescues, and in my eyes he is a  doggy angel.    My favourite photo is of little Georgie looking up at him when Mary took him in for the first time to be checked over.  To me that looks says it all, “please Mr Ray, I am fine really, so do not put me to sleep."

We all thank him for giving Georgie his wish, and his future. 

I could write endless stories, about this wonderful group of people and all their precious little dogs they have adopted or fostered,  but why not check out the NCMR web site.  There are many small dogs looking for a loving home.  Become part of this group of caring people, who are there to help when you have a problem with your little dog.  They have endless knowledge, of most problems, and they are there for you if you lose your little dog.  They cry with you and they laugh with you. I feel so blessed to have met this group, been lucky enough to have  travelled to the USA to three of their fun raising picnics, and  come back home with cases of goodies and stories. 

Thank you North Central Maltese Rescue and thank you Mary.
