Tyger's been adopted!! :)

Tyger LOVES people. He's 3 yrs old and good with well-behaved and loving children. He would do OK as the only pet or with another dog who will allow him to be in charge as Tyger likes to lead his pack. He is very loving and devoted... and very sad right now, being alone, in a kennel where he shakes and yearns for loving arms.

Winter Wonderland

As I sit at work on this snowy Saturday, I'm reminded of a poem I wrote a few years ago. I love this time of year :)


A blanket, so soft and pure...
It absorbs all the light.
Covers the hardness,
Hiding the darkness
Lost in it's beauty,
The world looks so bright.

In awe of the shimmer,
each flake is unique.
Locked inside it's mystery,
are the answers we seek.

Overwhelmed by the power,
What it holds...where it goes...
Directed by no one,
the freedom's felt when it blows.

A time to heal....

Yesterday, in our great city ,8 innocent people lost their lives in a senseless act of violence.
Like so many others, I felt invaded. As though this was the first sign of evil ever seen in Omaha. How could this happen HERE? The same way the students of Columbine or VA Tech felt, I'm sure.
So, what now? We mourn, we cry out, and we heal.

He gives power to the faint and weary, and to him who has no might He increases strength.
Isaiah 40: 29

~ Take a moment to tell your loved ones how much they mean to you today, and don't waste another day searching....

I love those who love me,
and those who seek me find me.
Proverbs 8:17

Kharma found a home!

Kharma is a young adult, and a beautiful blue staffordshire terrier who came from a family who did not deserve such a devoted pet. She was brought into Council Bluffs IA illegally- a city that bans her breed type- Her family broke the law by trying to hide her from the authorities. When they were caught, HHA was contacted by her "caregivers" in the attempt to care for her while her family found a home outside the BSL city limits. We were told that a home would be ready and waiting for Kharma and if we could just care for her during that time. How very sad that such individuals are able to take advantage of rescue groups and sweet animals like Kharma. Kharma is in need of a stable home- with TRUE and lasting love to offer. Altho she adores children and her people, unfortunately her previous caregivers did a poor job in keeping her socialized with new dogs and even put her in harms way with an aggressive dog- so poor Kharma tends to be defensive when around new animals. HHA feels Kharma would be happiest with a family or forever friend that just wants her as their one and only..Pictures do not do Kharma justice! You MUST see Kharma in person as she is breathtaking and ever so sweet!

My girl....Tasha has a new family!

HI! I am named Tasha! I was rescued after having a litter of pups- my owners no longer wantedme :(... I was taken to a KS kill shelter. Inspite of that, I LOVE them and all people! My duties as momma is over and now I can take on a new role as your very best friend!. I've been spayed, so it's only a matter of time before I get my girlish figure back too ;-)" A perfect home for me would be one with LOTS of people to love me .and a yard with a higher fence ( as I like to explore at times:)-- or a home w/ no fenced yard but with a caregiver who loves to walk me lots on leash, of course. I would not be happy if I was chained up and left alone outside tho.. as I love to be with my people the most! I hope to meet you soon! Luv Tasha
