"Franky" was tied to a post in the yard surrounded by trash and garbage. The puppy was obtained from a "free to good home" add in the newspaper.  The family was not allowed to have pets indoors so the puppy lived in the trash heap. The puppy was surrendered and sent to a rescue group in chicago.

Here is "Franky" enjoying the first day in his new home in Naperville.  His new owner writes: 

The boys act as though they grew up together.  It took a couple of days, but Bristol loves having a playmate.  We did change Franky's name to D.J. (being avid NASCAR fans and keeping with tradition - Bristol was named after the track in TN) and he quickly learned to respond to his new name.  A few accidents in the house, but nothing unexpected due to his age.  He as also learned to sit on command and about has 'shake paw' down.  We feel grateful to have him!
 

Paw Pals was called to assist the county animal warden in the spaying and neutering of multiple dogs and to provide doghouses. A client's house trailer burned down this spring, leaving no shelter for the stray dogs she had taken in. Paw Pals provided doghouses, feeding bowls, pet food, collars, and spay/neuter services. We also transported animals to vet and have placed puppies for the owner, who is a dishwasher at a nursing home.  She is allowed to bring home the table scraps to feed her dogs.

Lucky returned home one morning after a night out with his tail hanging and a large wound at the base of his tail. His owners could not afford to take him to the vet so tried treating the wound themselves. After a few days it was apparent that more needed to be done, so Paw Pals was called. We took him to the vet for care--his tail was "dead" and had to be amputated. He has recovered well and now is encouraged to remain inside where he is safe.
 

Baby was treated for mange by Paw Pals. We also spayed and vaccinated her. she follows Pat around the house, never leaving her side! she is such a sweet girl. Pat lives with her grown children and grandchildren. She has health problems and has been forced to quit her job at the nursing home.
 

This dog was obtained from a "free to good home" ad in the newspaper.  The owners lost interest in the dog when they realized how much care was involved--housebreaking, chewing, energy level, and time commitment. She was surrendered to paw pals and sent to a rescue organization for placement.
