Every dog has his day!
No truer words were ever spoken. Each one also has his or her own story. Some of those are recounted here, for your enjoyment, amusement, or heartfelt sympathy.
New Spirit volunteers work hard to make sure that our dogs get that day in the sun!
Siggins' Story
Siggins was found in an outdoor shelter, dirty, matted and so debilitated that he could not wag his tail. The victim of what appeared to be years of neglect by his owner, he was picked up as a stray after being hit by a car. Due to his age, about 12 years, he was not a good candidate for adoption in the shelter.
Fortunately, he caught the eye of a rescue worker and was pulled from the shelter. After months of rehab, his injuries healed as well as could be expected for a senior dog and he was eventually adopted by a loving couple that wanted to give an old dog a good home. His story is the essence of rescue.

Cooper
Cooper: A Loyal, Energetic Companion Seeking a Quiet, Rural Home!
Cooper is a 4-year-old male, neutered Australian Shepherd weighing in at 45 pounds. This intelligent and affectionate pup is looking for a forever home that offers the peaceful environment he needs to thrive.
Cooper hails from Louisiana and has been living in the bustling city of Providence. Cooper is currently privately owned. Despite training, he remains reactive to other dogs while on the leash. This makes him better suited for a quiet, rural home with a loving person or couple. With his energetic nature, Cooper would be overjoyed to have a large, fenced-in yard to romp and play in. His ideal family would be able to spend ample time with him, so someone who works from home would be a perfect fit. Cooper adores puzzle games, tug-of-war pull toys, running, and receiving enthusiastic belly rubs.
Cooper is fully vaccinated and has been diagnosed with chronic bronchitis. It's being managed daily with prednisone & will need ongoing monitoring.
A "Velcro" dog through and through, Cooper loves being close to his human companions. He is leash, harness, and crate trained, and is comfortable being left alone in his crate for periods up to five hours. Please note that Cooper may do best in a home without other dogs due to his reactivity while leash-walking (he is fine with dogs at daycare off leash, but sometimes tries to be dominant). He would also benefit from additional professional training once he's settled into his new environment. If you're someone who is home often and can provide the love, attention, and peaceful surroundings Cooper needs, you'll be rewarded with a loyal and fun-loving companion eager to share his life with you.
