Mary Jones has fostered for us for years now. In addition to fostering countless dogs for us and helping with transport on many others, she has adopted from Dog Ranch Rescue a total of 4 times. We first met her a few years back when she adopted for the first time from us with the incredibly sweet Mallory. Mallory was sold at a puppy mill auction with a very, very bad heart at just 9 months old. She had severe stenosis and we knew she wouldn’t have a long life. Mary was undeterred and welcome Mallory into her life. She then adopted another bear that we called Cello and she named her Penny, she was a very shy incredibly sweet perfect bear with a halo hanging firmly from her head. Next up she adopted Pepper who was a bordeaux that was left behind at another boarding facility by her owner because she had seizures and he didn’t want to care for her anymore. Once again Mary was undeterred and as you can see she Mary had the Bordeaux bug that had bitten her squarely between the eyes. We then rescued the one and only John Merrick with a very rare skin condition that caused him to grow excess skin on his face ears and parts of his limbs. We knew it wasn’t solvable, only manageable and of course and little to no interest in anyone adopting him. Mary raised her hand and said I’ll take that boy home and she did. Last year John Merrick suffered an injury to his spine and is now paralyzed but she didn’t bat an eye and continues to care for him in every way that he needs.

Yesterday we became aware of this big girl who her owner was wanting to move into a rescue. She is 6 years old, not spayed, her skin is covered in mange and she owned her since she was a puppy. The problem is that she kills chickens and wasn’t allowed to live there anymore. She will go into isolation at the sanctuary until she is seen by Dr. Reno on Friday and see what her skin issue is all about.
