KIKI+PUPS A MOTHER’S LOVE IS PRICELESS KiKi watches over her babies, happy to know they are all safe and cared for. An angel was watching over them and guided them to St. Francis. MEET MADDIE How could anyone resist this sweet 4 month old girl? She seems to be smiling at you. We’re hoping that with your help she can have a happy ending to her story. Maddie came in when she was 8 weeks old. She appears to be a precious mix of Border Collie or Australian Shepherd and is 100% loveable. When she came to us we noticed she snored. After being checked by our vet it was found that she has some sort of blockage in her nasal passages. Further tests are needed so this problem can be corrected and Maddie can find the family she’s dreaming of. WHO COULD RESIST THIS FACE? Levi is a very small kitten about 4 weeks old. He was brought into a vet with the scalp open. We are not sure how this happened but we think that a mower or someone cutting the grass accidentally cut him. St. Francis came to his rescue and he will be searching for a new home once he has completely healed. We are waiting to see how his vision is af- fected but his sense of smell leads him to his food and litter box. He is hoping that the purrfect home will be found. If you think that Levi is as special as we do please consider making him a part of your family. MADDIE Driving down Highway 25, we passed a very small dog looking for food on the side of the road. Worried for her safety we turned around and went back. As soon as she saw us get out she ran into the woods. Thinking she was running from being caught, we proceeded slowly because we didn’t want her to run onto the road. But she was leading us to a box that was hidden in the bushes way off the road. Inside she had 4 tiny puppies whose eyes had just opened. It’s hard to believe that someone would leave this mother and puppies hidden in the woods. Every day we see or hear stories like this so being able to help these sweet dogs made everyone happy.. KiKi is very sweet and takes good care of her puppies. We believe she is about 2-3 years old. Her puppies are now about 4 weeks old and will be ready for a new family when they’re a little older. To love when no one else loves, to give when no one else gives, to be the voice for the voiceless, to have faith when it seems all faith is lost. So very often when we rescue, we find ourselves rescued in return. RESCUE LEVI MADDIE, KIKI AND LEVI are just some of the residents at St. Francis waiting for homes of their own. If you have been thinking of a new furry friend to love then we would be happy to help you find your new best friend. Caring for animals in need is the mission of everyone associated with St. Francis. Our volunteers, supporters and adopters are an important part of our team. Without all of them, none of this would be possible. It’s impossible to define that special quality inside each of them but we are so thankful for everyone that is joining us in the effort to make the impossible possible. JULY 2014 NEWSLETTER
