Thank You God, for Patrick's Recovery. Help Us To Remember The Other Dogs in Need.

A 1-year-old pit bull nicknamed Patrick sits Tuesday, April 5, 2011, near piles of gifts donated to him as he recovers at Garden State Veterinary Specialists in Tinton Falls, N.J., after being found starved and dumped in a trash chute. Kisha Curtis, 27, of Newark, pleaded not guilty to animal abuse charges. Authorities believe Curtis tied the dog to a railing in her Newark apartment building and left the state for more than a week. Letters and donations have poured in from the around the world in support of Patrick.

Remember, there are many other dogs who suffer Patrick's fate each day, and they don't end as well as his story, hard as that has been. Not taking away from the little guy, but please direct your generosity to some other dogs in need. Here are a few rescues who take in "Patricks" on a daily basis:
 
Noah's Ark Rescue
Pet Rescue
Picasso Veterinary Fund
Eyes of An Angel
Angels Among Us

Enjoy seeing the little guy eat! And remember, Kisha Piece O'Trash Curtis is reporting to court today for a preliminary hearing. The Universe has spoken.



If you want to share in the fun, go too The Patrick Miracle on Facebook. They have over 50,000 fans already. Good even keeled people running the page, too.

Now, Patrick is being taken care of. He's getting food, vet care, and toys from all over the world. If you want to save another dog, all you have to do is go to your local shelter and donate or adopt, or donate to one of the many rescues that do the front line work. I have several listed in the side bar on the left.

Here are a few that rescue dogs like Patrick every day of the week.

Noah's Ark Rescue
Pet Rescue (in Westchester, NY)
Angels Among Us Pet Rescue



Okay, and another happy video, though you can still see how skinny Patrick is. It's a long haul to make up for severe neglect.

Army Won!

Thanks to the hard work of Eyes Of An Angel Pet Rescue, this senior "Old" English Bulldog has been rescued out of a high-kill shelter, and will be fostered and adopted.  Go here for his story and to contribute to his temporary care.

Thank You, God, and the entire rescue community, many of whom pitched in to find Army a home.

Army - as he is leaving the shelter.

EYES OF AN ANGEL DOG & CAT RESCUE, INC. is a non-profit 501(c)(3) Charitable Organization whose volunteers are dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and adoption of unwanted shelter animals that would otherwise be euthanized. Volunteers in the east coast Miami-Dade area, as well as the west coast Naples/Ft. Myers area work together so that as many animals as possible can be saved and ultimately adopted into loving homes. We do not have a shelter facility. All of our available dogs are cared for by volunteer foster families. Please be advised that all of our dogs are rescued from euthanasia at the shelter. We believe every animal deserves a safe and loving home, however we do not accept stray or owner surrender animals and our focus remains on shelter rescue.
