Maisie & Crockett: A Long Awaited Update

We're happy to announce that Crockett, the pit bull mix found abandoned in Leighton, has gone to a forever home in Tennessee. Many thanks to Dr. Joe Cobb of the Colbert Animal Clinic for taking such good care of Crockett.

Maisie, that wonderful and spirited beagle, is still residing at Dr. Cobb's office in Tuscumbia. Dr. Cobb thought it best for her to spend the winter at the clinic in order for him to keep a close check on her injuries. At least that was his story--we think he just hates to see her leave.

Happily, Maisie has finally been given a clean bill of health and is ready to go to her forever home, wherever that may be. She will need an inside home with no young children. If you or someone you know can provide that home, please contact Dr. Cobb's office at 256-381-6210.

If you would like to contribute to Dr. Cobb's ongoing efforts to help and place injured animals, you may send your donations to Maisie's Fund in care of :

Colbert Animal Clinic
930 Hwy 20
Tuscumbia, AL 35674-6092

Many thanks to all who have supported Crockett and Maisie with both monetary donations and prayers.

The Connection will soon launch Maisie's Page, where you may list your foundling furbabies free of charge. Be sure to have a photo ready to upload.



For those who asked about Crockett, the pit bull dog found abandoned in Leighton, we have good news. Crockett will be going to live at a bull dog sanctuary in the very near future. We'll be keeping you updated.

Sampson Has Been Shot...He Needs Our Help

Reposted from O. B.'s Corner:

Hi, my name is Sampson. I live out in the county and sometimes I like to roam to see the neighborhood. I like to visit with my friends around our little community. I am a rescue dog also. I came to my owner with a broken jaw a couple of years ago and she was nice enough to have me fixed up and let me stay.

This past weekend while exploring, someone shot me. Four times with a 22 caliber rifle. I don't know why they did this. Maybe they thought I was a coyote. But the vet said I was shot and I needed surgery. I've been staying with the vet until I am able to eat something. Cat food is kinda bland. I really don't know how they eat that stuff. But right now my regular food isn't all that inviting either.

So I am asking for your help today. To offset some of my owners expenses on my surgery. If you can help, you can send a check or go by the Center Star Veterinary Clinic at 8123 Hwy 72 Killen AL 35645 (256) 757.5323 Be sure to tell them it is for me and put "For Sampson" on the check.

We will have big news about Maisie's adoption in about two weeks. She will finally be going to her forever home, and we will bring you pictures of this wonderful new family, finally complete.
