| Owen's Orphans |
| Born in a small Illinois town, Owen Gardner loved life and he loved people, especially his wife, Betty Brown from Edwardsville. He had a magnetic smile and a way of focusing on others, to totally take in what the other person was saying, which contributed to his stellar career as a top executive with NCR Corporation. Owen also held a special place in his heart for animals and almost always had a pet, starting from when he was a boy. Owen’s last years at home with his family in San Francisco were spent in the company of a dog named Homer, then a Katrina rescue dog named Betsy, and Max, the cat who followed him in passing by a few days. |
| This section will be dedicated in the memory of Owen Gardner . All special needs pets in our care will be listed in this section. |

| Chipper |
Chipper was adopted as a pup to what we thought
was a nice family with a small child.
He was returned, for no reason, family said just could
not keep him anymore. No biggie, at least they
returned him here where he is safe.
Chipper is a black lab/ Beagle mix about 1 year old.
He loves kids, loves playing, and is a very good boy.
Chipper is so named because he is always, well,
Chipper!

| Brownie |
Brownie is a two year old chocolate lab/husky
mix male. He is shy and needs a special owner.
One who understands how to treat a dog who has
been severely abused nearly their entire life.
He has no self esteem, so this makes him shy,
he probably doesn't understand why we don't hit
him, though we hope in time he does.
Brownie is a good boy, no accidents in his room,
he doesn't try to eat his bed like some of the
others, he doesn't really complain about
anything and is always happy to see the food
bowl or treat box coming.
He is just a tad over the knee tall and weighs
nearly 60 lbs.
Brownie cannot go to a home with children, or to
a home without a fenced yard.
We would prefer the owner be female and we
think he would too since the man that had him
before is who treated him so badly he is now
very afraid of men. Though we are working on
that and he is accepting the young man now that
comes to play with him. It will just take a while
for him to work that out with his new owner.
Don't let Brownie go through his life without a
home simply because his first one was so awful.
He can be a good boy if you just give him a
chance.
Brownie has no bite history at all, he is simply
very shy.

| Walker |
Walker is a two year old American Bulldog
male. He is super sweet, a little unsure of
himself at first, but very gentle with people.
He was rescued on his last day of life at
animal control. Walker has tested positive
for heart worms and will be treated before he
can go home.
Obviously his previous owners did not take
care of him or he would not have gotten
himself arrested and thrown in the slammer at
animal control.
He is very handsome in person, this picture
does not do him justice at all.
Walker is a large dog who weighs nearly 80

| Jacey |
Jacey is a one year old female Shar Pei mix, maybe
pitbull, maybe something else who knows.
All we know is she is super sweet, friendly with other
dogs, and loves all people!
She was rescued from animal control on her last day of
life there. She was noticed because she was thumping
her tail on the floor of her pen, and when we walked
over to see who was in there she rolled over on her
belly for a tummy rub! Now that is how you know the
dog is sweet.
She weighs about 45 lbs and has a very curly tail.
She is solid black, and very submissive.
She will make any family a great pet, and any dog a
great friend!

best in a home with an active family or teenage
children to romp around with.
She is house trained, crate trained, and knows
some commands.
Angel weighs 56 lbs and is above the knee tall.
She is grey,black, and white in color.

| Melanie |
Melanie was rescued on 4-26-2010 on what
was to be her last day of life at animal control.
In fact the officers there felt unsure about her
personality because she was so hesitant to
approach them. When we met her we thought
it may be just because she was scared in there.
I think you can tell by the look on her face, she
is not shy, and I am sure now that it was just
that she was scared.
Now she runs in the yard, loves people!
Very sweet and playful young female.
Melanie weighs nearly 60 lbs. She is a lab, so

She will make someone a great friend.

| Lance |
Lance is a 3.5 year old Border Collie/Lab mix
who was adopted as a puppy from Hope. He
LOVES children and has grown up around very
small ones. His family had to return him
because in this economy they have lost their
home.
He is house trained, leash trained, likes to
play, just a joy to be around.
Lance weighs 72 lbs, and really would do best
in a home that has children. We think if he
could pick a home it would have at least one
child.
He is a truly great dog.

Xena is an American Staffordshire Terrier female, about
one year old. She was rescued on her last day of life
from animal control.
This is the only pose she would do for us when we got out
the camera for she is a very submissive, sweet, soul.
She appears to like the other dogs, and is submissive
with them as well.
All she truly wants is a belly rub, and perhaps a treat.
She is a pretty black brindle color. She is small and
weighs no more than 30 lbs full grown.
Because of her breed you will have to be a home owner
to be considered as her new family.

He is about 2 years old and all PUG!
Very friendly, snorty, and cute.
He was marked injured at animal

we found that all he had was a hot spot,
that no one had cared for and it
scabbed over leaving what looked like
a wound.
He is all healed now, and cute as ever.

Indy was found wandering after the

him. No doubt from being an outdoor

no dog deserves to live their life on a
chain.
He loves the pool, loves balls, and is a
good boy.
Indy is 8 years old, and a registered
AKC Golden Retriever.
