The last few weeks have been intense for us all, but we continue to do what we love, save dogs and cats! For most of us, our animals are a great source of comfort to us when we are feeling sad, lonely or are just having a really bad day. "There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face!"  I have a poster of that saying that I plan to hang in my office when I (eventually) open up a therapy practice. I also plan to have therapy animals there as well. My animals are the best for cheering me up when I'm low, what would we do without them?? I hope that you are all taking comfort in your animals during this stressful time. If you don't have an animal, well.... we have plenty to share!

I have a great success story to share, Myalina is a beautiful puppy with a very sad past. (Some of the pictures below may be graphic for some people, but it is a reality for some rescued dogs).

Myalina was a sweet six month old puppy when she was found wandering the streets. This poor thing had a deeply imbedded harness.  The harness was probably put on when she was very small, and never taken off, Myalina contiued to grow and her skin grew around the harness.  Who knows what other pain she endured during her short life, but this was too much for one dog.  Despite being in pain, she is a very sweet gentle pup.

Myalina was all fixed up by some very kind people who would not let her down and sent to New Jersey to join the Wag On Inn pups!  She will always bear the scars of her past a reminder of what happened, but I am happy to report that Myalina was adopted soon after arrival to NJ. She can now finally get the love that she deserves!  Here is a letter from her new mom.

 

When we heard her story about how she was found it broke our hearts. Then, we saw her picture and even though we were not looking for another pet, we decided we must give her the love she deserves.
She came to us and quickly became "friends" with our 11 year old female yellow lab and our 7 year old 20 lb. Maine Coon! She is very affectionate and follows us everywhere we go. My three children love her as she always wants to play and be petted. She has a lot of energy and gets extremely excited when anyone enters the house. She won't leave you alone until you acknowledge her enthusiastic greeting!
She has been great on the leash and absolutely loves to run around in the backyard with our lab and the kids. She's very smart and follows many commands already. We do have to hide our shoes, though- she likes to take them and hide them all over the house! We are very happy to have her as part of our family and I'm pretty sure she's quite happy, too!

Myalina in her new home!

 

 

I am also very happy to report that Mayia and Christina, both long time WOI fosters, were both adopted yesterday!!

Maiya- Adopted!

 Christina- Adopted!!!

 

 

Love reporting such great news!! 

 

Wag On Inn also has the opportunity to help even more animals, but we need help! Wag On Inn is looking for volunteers to care for foster cats at Petco in Howell. Petco is located on Rt 9 in Howell Commons. We would need to care for them twice a day. They need to be fed, litter cleaned and LOVED. We are really hoping we can place some cats at this location. (4) max. If you or someone you know is willing to help, please let me know..ANY time is greatly appreciated. One time slot a week would be a tremendous help. Please contact Wendy @ 732-618-4285 asap..There are cats sitting in shelters in need of a loving home. We would hate to see them euthanized if we can make a difference....Thank you!!

 

 

This is a great opportunity to help if you cannot foster or donate. It only takes a little while, although I'm sure some people stay to play with the cats!
