Today I received an email from Melissa, a local lady that read one of my blog posts. As most people who subscribe to my blogs know I blog a lot about localism in the Lake Norman and Charlotte areas, about living green, and about pets. I am a firm believer that pets have an innocent way of enhancing our life’s if given a chance.
Melissa had read my, ‘Operation Noah’s Ark’ post which was about the rescue of hundreds of animals in an animal hording case. In fact this post has created more emails and calls than any other that I have written thus far; emails and calls asking who to contact to adopt these animals.
For the past month I have wanted to have a pet of the week or month that needs to be adopted, in hopes of being a link in assisting pets get a second chance.
The reason Melissa emailed me today was to find out if ‘Operation Noah’s Ark’ could take on two more dogs that were left at her house. Although, the organization will be contacted, I really doubt that they will be able to take on two more, with the hundreds and hundreds that they have to keep until the case goes to trial ….
Melissa's reason for having to give up these precious pets is because her mother in New York has stage 4 cancer and she is going to have to leave North Carolina by or before Thanksgiving to help care for her. I don't know and I doubt Melissa knows how long she will have to be in New York, but if we could possibly find someone who would be able to foster these two until she gets back to North Carolina may work.
Trust me I know that most all shelters and humane societies are maxed out, but I just can’t help but think that maybe someone in cyberspace is possibility looking for a great pet and will see these pictures and fall in love with them and decide to adopt them.
Please Meet Bear and Bella
They are sisters, who are beagle mixed, approximately one year old. Since they are sisters and they have been raised together since birth, it is Melissa’s wishes to try and keep them together.

OMG! How CUTE Teresa! I think that it's fantastic that you are doing this--pets are our little children--especially for this empty nester. See--AR articles DO bring in the locals and it is a great way to show people just who you are inside--and you're such a doll, you need to let it SHINE!
Teresa - This is a FANTASTIC idea! I am so glad that Melissa found you and that you are able to do this! Thos pups are adorable - I hope they find a good home and FAST!
My goodness.. how sweet they are.. You are a God send!! Thank you again for helping out all the furbabies. We rescue and place French and English Bulldogs.. I can't tell you how much my family has enjoyed doing this.
Take Care and continue doing GOD'S work!
Hi, The dogs are so cute. I am a proud owner of a English bulldog name bruno. You can go to my active rain site and meet him. Good luck!!
Tinker
Teresa: What a happy pair those two are! Maybe some kind hearted soul reading your blog will be inclined to adopt both. I'll say a little prayer for them tonight.
Debe: As always thank you so much for coming by and thank you for your gracious comments! It's really amazing to find out who is reading the stuff we write... Take care!!
Lessa: Thanks for coming by too! Yes, I hope we can find a home for these two lady's too. Melissa is going to have to leave for New York by or before Thanksgiving to care for her mom who has stage 4 cancer. Take care!
Pamela:Thanks for your comments too! Thanks too for helping out the bulldog's too. Being foster parents I am sure can be somewhat trying at times but so rewarding. It's just asame that pets as well as people have to experience these situations. Take care!!
Tinker: Thanks for stopping by! I will defiantly take a look see at Bruno!! Take care!
Chris: Thanks for coming by too! That's what were hoping too. Thanks for your prayers too, they certainly help... Take care!
Teresa - You have such a big heart. I hope these two beautiful brown eyed dogs fird a good home!
Teresa.. You are a wonderful person. This is a great idea. I hope someone does adopt these two cuties. My heart is devoted to cairn/westie dogs.. but you know this. So if for some reason you come across one, let me know. This would be just cause for us to finally meet...right?
Jane: Thanks for coming by. I so hope that these two find a place. If I had a farm I would love to have them added to my family.
Valerie: Thanks for coming by too. I would love to meet you Valerie. Just hearing about your outings with your friends sound like you would be so fun.... plus, I could use one of those drinks you created, this past summer! Take care my friend!
Adorable. everyone is writing about pets tonight. Please check out my blog Love in a Tuxedo. It is about rescue.
Gayle: Thanks for coming by! I did go to your blog and posted a comment there too. You are doing a wonderful job in helping poodles find loving and forever homes. Thank you so much for having a heart to help out these wonderful pets with so much love to give. Take care!!
Teresa.. You are on.. someday when we do meet.. those cranberry twisters are on me. Plus our dogs could meet too... being in the same family, I'm sure they'll get a long too.
HI Teresa, God bless you! You are just so precious to help this lady. You know we are suckers for rescues but I think we have our limit right now.. I just had to take one of ours to the vet this morning - might have to take out a loan ;-) I trust the Lord will send a home or foster home for these sweeties. God bless, I will reblog this to try and get the word out!
Teresa, Are you on Twitter? I tweeted about my reblog of this today, I hope it will bring someone. hope to see ya on Wednesday?? God bless,
Oh Darling...this is so sad. We gotta find a new mommy and daddy for these babies. I'll talk to everyone I know. GBU!
Teresa You had me with those pictures. I read your comments and you really touched a lot of people. Great post...
How Sweet Teresa! Please let us know the outcome. Bear & Bella will make great companions I'm sure. Prayers too for your friend's mom. Thanks for sharing and Warm greetings from Paradise.
Those two dogs are so beautiful! My heart hurts thinking about family that has to give them up! On the flip side, how wonderful that you wrote about "operation Noah's Ark" and posted the blog to localsim! Great job reaching out to people and pets as well. I hope there is a happy outcome not only for the woman with stage 4 cancer but also for Bella and Bear.
Teresa - Those are a couple of beautiful looking dogs and I know how much you love them. And this is the LOVE AT ACTIVE RAIN GROUP so...............................
Do you have any update on finding a home for these great dogs???
Ditto Maureen's comments. That would be a great story!
If I were anywhere near North Carolina, those two little beauties would have a home with me.
Teresa,
My partner Gary and I foster dogs, too. And we always seem to get emergency requests to foster for other foster parents who are going out of town, getting, married, got sick, etc. Our own community of foster parents help each other. Glad you posted this, as I'm sure you will soon hear from volunteers who love animals and are willing to open their homes to care for them.
God bless you, Bella and Bear.
