Chipper - Plott Hound

Toronto Animal Services South recently accepted four dogs rescued from a high kill shelter in Georgia to assist with their adoptions. All their transport and medical costs were privately funded by some generous donors, especially by rescuer extraordinaire, Ashley Hyslop, who also wrote the following:

These beautiful dogs once had very little hope of finding a happy ending. They were picked up and brought into a county kill shelter in southern Georgia where their fate looked very grim. Before June 15th, 2012 every dog that entered this shelter never left! The county paid to have every dog euthanized in order to decrease their stray population and ‘get rid’ of the ones that were abandoned as they didn’t have an adoption program or hadn’t started working with rescues.

June 15th, 2012, the Paws for Hope and Faith foundation stepped in and finally gave this county shelter and all the dogs at the shelter hope. Long story short – these four gorgeous dogs have traveled over 1500 miles from Southern Georgia in order to find the love and happiness that comes with a forever home that they so desperately deserve.

These four have already won the hearts of the TAS staff and volunteers. Kiki is a gentle soul. She is very laid back and super sweet. Shadow is a bundle of love. She is so happy go lucky. Chipper and Todd are sweethearts.

They will be available for adoption beginning this weekend at the Leaside Petsmart Adoptathon (Eglinton/Laird). Please consider giving them their happy ending! A life is a life.

Thank you to TAS South for not only helping local animals find their happy endings but also reaching across the border and giving hope to ones that wouldn't have been given a chance otherwise!

Over the next four days, I'll post up one Georgia dog per day as I get their images edited.

Today, we've got Chipper with his most excellent striping. Chipper reminds me of Tigger, the Winnie the Pooh character. Chipper is just as friendly and just as bouncy.
