Happy Tails 2017
Gunner
Late April/Early May a bus driver called a local rescue lady about these 3 dogs that have been abandoned for at least 2 months. They were starving and kept coming up to a bus stop wanting the kids to pay attention to them....the local rescue called us since they didn't have any room. One of the dogs, Gunner, had a gun shot wound. We networked to find him a rescue organization and transported him to safety on 5.6.2017.
We are now happy to report that Gunner is once again filling out his frame and his wound is almost healed. We think these pictures of Gunner enjoying his home are priceless!!

Daisy
This is an update forwarded to us by a receiving rescue organization regarding an adorable golden retriever we transported:
"In January we adopted this young lady. Just a quick update, Daisy is doing well and loves her new family. I work from home, so she spends most of the day being my coworker. She loves it when we go outside and I throw the ball for her to retrieve. She also loves car rides. She does get along well with our male dog, but sometimes quarrels with our other female dog. Daisy doesn't like share her toys. We are working on that and it's getting better. We love having her. Thank you, WAAGR" -Greg (forever dad)

Junior Quincy K-9 Connection transported Junior to safety in May. At the time he had an injured eye. While in the safety of his receiving rescue organization, his badly damaged eye was removed. His stitches came out recently and he was subsequently adopted by the daughter of one of their volunteers. Good boy Junior! |
Sabrina
Poor 11 year old Sabrina was relegated to an outdoor kennel and dog house when her owner could no longer care for her. However, Sabrina's life got a whole lot better on 6/3 as she was transported into the arms of a caring foster home where she'll eventually become a permanent member.
Yay Sabrina!

Dobby
Quincy K-9 Connection transported the very handsome Dobby to safety on May 13th. Just 2 weeks later, we learned that he has found his forever home. This is what his receiving rescue organization had to say about this awesome boy, " ... He knows sit, down, shake, stay, no, come and can catch treats. We were surprised it took as long as it did for him to get adopted! He would lay quietly in his kennel with his paws crossed like a gentleman."
Best Wishes Dobby!

Tanner
Quincy K-9 Connection stepped in to help Tanner when he was hit by a car around the end of March. Sadly, no owner came forward. We networked with Lakeshore Pembroke Welsh Corgi Rescue who quickly accepted Tanner into their care. Throughout all his recovery, surgery and all, Tanner has remained a pure delight. Really? Have you ever seen such a happy dog?
We received word at the beginning of May that Tanner has been adopted. What a gorgeous family! Good job Tanner!
Abby (fka Lady)
Quincy K-9 Connection transported Abby (fka as Lady) to safety on 3/18/2017. I think we all fell in love with her adorable little face. To no one's surprise, she has captured the heart of her foster family. This is what her receiving rescue organization has to say,
"...Abby has the sweetest temperament you will ever see. She is being fostered by a family with young children. As you can see from the photos, she is so gentle with kids. Her foster family will be making Abby a permanent part of their family ... once we finish up her medical needs. We fondly refer to this as a "foster failure" and we couldn't be happier for both Abby and her foster family!"

Duncan (fka Rusty)
We received this update on Friday, 4/28/2017. Rusty was transported to safety on 4/1/2017. Pictures are truly worth a thousand words!
"Hello, I first saw Duncan on Underdog Railway Rescue FB page. It described his awesome temperament and how he was even good with Chihuahuas. I had to go see this precious boy at their event. Both of my pups love him and they play together so well. We officially adopted him tonight and he will be loved the rest of his life! Thank you so much for saving this sweet baby!"
Teddy & Charlie
This is a cool 'Happily Ever After' that actually began last year. Mr. Teddy and Miss Charlie were taken to a shelter when their elderly owner fell and broke his hip and had to go to a nursing home. Teddy and Charlie came to Quincy K-9 Connection and were subsequently transported to safety. Not only were they adopted together, they are the now the VERY loved mascots of an Assisted Living Program.
This is what Miss Charlie's fans say about her, "Little Miss Charlie is doing amazingly well, as always. She pretty much rules the roost, as you'd expect, and everyone loves her. I can't send any photos that include residents, but she for sure has her favorites. She has a favorite couch snuggle buddy. At breakfast she has a favorite bacon buddy! In fact, her breakfast pal is a newer resident, and loves the dogs. When she first moved in her language abilities had degraded pretty significantly, and whole words were difficult. Since she's been here, though, she's been getting much better, and the first whole sentence I heard her say was right after she'd given Charlie a piece of bacon, and Charlie zipped out of the dining room with her prize. This resident watched with a huge smile on her face and said "I think I may have giver her too big a piece!" It was a wonderful moment!"
This is what Teddy's fans have to say about him, "Mr. Teddy is also doing OK .... Our Business Office Manager takes him home at night so he can have much needed peace and quiet, and then brings him back in the morning. Then he and Charlie run around like goofballs, and have some snuggles. I always try to get pictures of them zooming around, but honestly they are too fast, and I am too slow. He also still takes his victory lap after taking care of his outside business, but he is definitely slowing down a bit. Our Business Office Manager has four older daughters, and when he is there he is carried up and down every stair, and lifted onto every couch. Apparently he is the most pampered pooch, which, after all, is all he deserves!"

Alisha & Elle
We transported the bonded pair, Alisha and Elle, to safety on 3/18/2017. Just one week later, we learned they were adopted out together! We send a huge thank you to the rescue organization who opened their arms to this pair and another big thank you to this wonderful family for keeping these two cuddle bugs together.

Tessa Love, love, love! We transported sweet Tessa to safety on March 4th and received word March 22 that she has captured her foster familes' hearts so much that they decided to adopt her!! Yay Tessa! |
Abby
Abby was surrendered to us in October 2016 - with a huge growth on her chest. We had our vet look to see if it could be removed. She had been like that for a LONG time and we didn't know but she could not even lay her head normal when sleeping so we had to take a chance. The surgery was done and Jane (Beagle Rescue) took her in. Well needless to say...she is laying on her memory foam bed. She goes up and down stairs, has her own Kuranda bed in their bedroom and "will stand and stare any dog down that lays on it"! Ha! Looks like Abby is another foster failure...think she will be staying with Jane!

Chevy
After Chevy's teenage owner passed away tragically, Quincy K-9 Connection networked to heal Chevy's broken heart. We transported him to his incredible rescue organization on 2/18/2017. Just under a month later we received word from them that Chevy has found his new soul mate in Daryl (from Southern Wisconsin). Chevy is now living on 43 acres with 6 lakes with Daryl (who is now retired). Chevy even got to meet some wild turkeys (on leash, of course!).
Ironically, Daryl too was heartbroken after recently losing his 2nd heeler. Today, however, Chevy and Daryl are smiling again as they heal each other's heart.

Harley
This handsome 5 y/o guy, Harley, had his own private transport on 2/25/2017. Soon after he arrived to his receiving rescue organization, we received word stating that he was settling in nicely with one of their foster homes and would be prepared for adoption soon. Harley is a total charmer, loves to give kisses and would be content to be a lap dog ... if only he was a little smaller.
Be a good boy Harley! Your forever family, whenever they come along, is going to be SOOO happy with you.

Walt
We all fell in love with this smiley guy, Walt, during the last week of February. Transported to safety on 2/25/2017, we quickly received new pictures and kind words from his receiving rescue organization expressing what a "... beautiful, gentle, SWEET dog he is." We agree! We couldn't be happier to have helped Walt with his new and promising start. Good boy Walt!! |

Shadow
Shadow was transported to safety on 1/28/2017. Less than a month later, we received this picture of Shadow going home with her FUR-ever family, smiling ear-to-ear, not looking back. Good job Shadow! You were worth it and we're glad to have played a part in your Happily Ever After. XOXOXO |
