| The four dogs to the right came from Texas. They were part of a transport to help make room for the Katrina dogs. All were facing euthanasia, and when no other rescue stepped forward, The Poodle Preserve gladly took them in. |
| Chester was battling pneumonia and had to fight for his life. He was found to be heartworm positive, and with the help of generous sponsors, was successfully treated for heartworms, and now shares a wonderful home with a JRT /Beagle mix in Grand Junction, Colorado |
| Dwight was extremely ill when he arrived. It took weeks of nursing and 5 different antibiotics to save his life. Dwight now lives with a terrific family in Denver. |
| Rudolf is a poodle puppy who was born without eyes. He arrived defensive and depressed. Soon Rudolf was jumping for joy. He is now in a wonderful home with two very special people, Dave & Gabriela. |
| Dallas was the healthiest arrival from Texas. He quickly learned that life is a ball, and now is living the good life in Wyoming. |
| Luke was a police-dog training reject left at a shelter. He learned to trust people again, and is loved in Meeker, Colorado. |
| Copper was a stray with a dislocated hip. He would have been euthanized but had surgery and is now frolicking in Glenwood Springs, Colorado. |
| 8 yr old Toto was dumped at a gas chamber shelter after his owner passed away. He is now cherished in the home of a minister and his wife. |
| Ladd is a stunning Standard Poodle who was dumped at a shelter. The $1000 his owners paid for him didn't stop them from discarding him. Palm Springs, CA is now home. |
| LIttlest Man's abusive "owner" discarded him at a gas chamber shelter, crate and all, because she couldn't handle him. He now thrives at The Poodle Preserve and loves being held! |
| Mork was truly one-of-a-kind. He suffered terrible abuse, yet spent his last 2 1/2 years cherished and loved here. His wonderful sponsor, Sherri, is shown holding him. |
| Doc lived his first 6 months neglected in a backyard. He learned how to walk on a leash and be a happy, well-adjusted puppy here and is a cherished member of a Colorado home. |
| Logan's "owners" decided to "get rid of him". He was the most depressed, colorless dog I have ever encountered. Here, Logan learned how to play and be loved . He now sparkles with personality and happiness in Denver, CO. |
| Rosie is a precious special needs Chihuahua who was spending her life in a crate. Now she runs a household in Nebraska. |
| Meeker was a $10 puppy-mill auction survivor. He learned to trust people and to play! Meeker is spoiled-rotten in Colorado Springs. |
| Chewie was languishing for years at a "no-kill" shelter. The staff meant well, but Chewie spent his days in boredom, and longing for human companionship. He lived outside with adequate shelter, but no stimulation. The photo on the left is Chewie at the no-kill shelter; on the right is Chewie at The Poodle Preserve. No-kill shelters are not the solution to the problem of pet overpopulation: Building thousands of facilities every year to house the approximately 5 million homeless dogs and cats, and then warehousing them for life is not the answer. The answer is preventing millions of homeless pets by spaying and neutering until the demand equals the supply. Until then, the insane assembly lines of "producing litters" and "killing 'excess' dogs and cats will continue. |
| Gunther is a poodle puppy from Las Cruces. Believe it or not, this is the same dog. He had obviously never been groomed until he came to The Poodle Preserve. Now, Gunther lives in Santa Fe, and participates in agility and is always well-groomed! |
| Benji has pannus, an eye disease that causes blindness. He came to life at The Poodle Preserve, and now lives with enthusiasm in Colorado Springs. |
| Foxy came from Las Cruces after she was thrown out the window of a moving truck. She has a permanent limp, but nothing diminishes her bubbly personality. Foxy thrives in a Denver home. |
| Cutie Pie was saved from a New Mexico gas chamber. She had a dislocated hip, but healed with physical therapy. She is loved in Denver. |
