AHGRRS has
been saving lives since 2002 and plans to continue accepting
as many orphan dogs - as space and finances allow. Your
donations will help keep our doors open to those who
need us most. We
have Adoptable
Dogs (click HERE) in need of homes and
permanent residents who will never know the joy of living
in a family environment because they are so damaged,
old, or sick that they are best suited to living out
their lives with us - here at the Sanctuary. Please
consider giving a homeless dog a home.
You can obtain Adoption
Information and an Application by clicking HERE.
Completed applications may be emailed to: ahgrr@frontiernet.net.
Please,
we request that you don't call us until you have an
approved application on file, as it is a volunteer owned
phone. Calls will be answered when possible. For the
fastest response, please email us.
If you
cannot adopt at this time, but would like to help
please consider the
following:
- Food
donations are always greatly appreciated.
We feed our rescues Iams
Minichunks.
- Donating needed
item(s) on our Wish
List
- Sponsoring
one of our residents. No donation is too small
- All are always deeply appreciated. Use the
PayPal button, Donation button, or mail to
AHGGRS at P.O. Box 648, Capon Bridge, WV 26711.

Daisy - Female,
German Shepherd Dog Mix
2 - 3 year old Daisy was surrendered to a shelter
by her owners when they felt she needed medical
care that they could not afford. She had never seen
a veterinarian until coming to rescue. Daisy will
be seeing our doctors soon, and will be available
for adoption very soon thereafter. Daisy's owners
told the shelter she appeared to have had some sort
of "seizure", but neither the shelter,
nor AHGRR has seen any to date. However, this will
be thoroughly investigated by our doctors. Daisy
is very sweet, and very "puppy". She does
fine with the other dogs as long as she is not totally
mugged by them when meeting them for the first time.
She LOVES people. She does need some training, though
she appears to know the command "sit".
Daisy
has decided to accept applications now so when she
is ready to leave (around the 2nd week of February),
her new person will already be chosen. If you would
like to offer Daisy a forever home, please submit
an application.

Louie - Male,
Border Collie Mix
2- 3 year old Louie came to us with a history of
being used as a "bait dog" for dog fighters. That
may or may not be true as Louie does seem to have
some neurological issues which could have been caused
by injury (head bobbing, when drinking, and some
peripheral vision issues). We have had Louie thoroughly
checked out by our veterinarian, and he has assured
us that although Louie does seem to have some strange
issues, none of them appear to be affecting his
current health in any way nor does he expect them
to affect him in the future.
Louie
really doesn't care for the company of other dogs
- he would much rather be an "only furchild". He
is very well behaved on leash and can be affectionate
with his humans once he gets to know them, but can
be a bite risk to those he does not know or trust.
Louie needs someone with a LOT of patience and knowledge
of dog behaviors to adopt him and show him just
how good a dog's life can be, therefore, Louie would
do best in a home with an experienced dog owner/trainer,
and absolutely no children. Louie is a work in process
- and his new family should regard him as a piece
of art that when finally complete will dazzle all
who meet him.
If
you would like to offer Louie a furever home, please
submit an application.

Queenie - Female, Golden
Retriever Mix
5 - 6 year old Queenie came to us after she was
found lying next to the road, emaciated at 27 pounds.
We will probably never know the real story of how
Queenie found herself in such dire circumstances
and physical condition but, it has left emotional
scars that may never completely heal. Queenie is
a very dominant girl - she can be stubborn and single
minded. She gets along best with neutered male dogs
and she seems to like cats - actually, she just
ignores them.
Queenie
needs a home with an experienced adopter. Someone
who can give her the space and guidance to become
accustomed to her new home and people. Once Queenie
knows and trusts people, she is a very loving, sweet
girl, but it will not be "love at first sight" for
her. We feel she would do best in a quiet adult
home with a fenced yard - although Queenie does
LOVE to go for walks on leash. She is crate trained,
housebroken, spayed, vaccinated, and heartworm negative
and on preventative.
We
would love to see Queenie find her furever family
and home where she will continue to blossom and
receive the love and patience she needs and deserves.
If
you think you might be the right home for Queenie,
please submit an application. Click -> HERE

Benji upon arrival at shelter
|
Benji- Male, Norfolk Terrier Mix
Poor
little 8 year old Benji was in such terrible condition
when was dumped at a shelter. He was so matted they
had shelter had trouble telling one end from the
other. Benji has been a challenge for most of his
life with us, although, he appears to have mellowed
in the last year. For a long time, Benji thought
it was great fun to bite the foot of anyone new
who met him. Luckily - everyone wears shoes around
the dogs, so there were no injuries. Lately, he
seems less interested in feet (thank heavens) and
is more interested in just going outside to potty.
Benji
gets along with most other dogs and will actually
play with some of them. He can be a challenge when
it comes to grooming and veterinary care when he
decides he has had "enough." We are still hoping
a special person will show up to offer our Benji
a furever home. If
you think that special person is you, please
submit an application. Click -> HERE
For
now, he will remain with Almost Heaven as a permanet
resident. Sponsors and donations towards his care
are always greatly appreciated. Donations can be
made via PayPal using the Donate button below or
by mail: AHGGRS at P.O. Box 648, Capon Bridge, WV

A very kind lady (and professional groomer) took Benji to her shop and gave him a haircut - take a look at our boy now!

Teddy Bear - Male, Collie/Golden
Retriever/Great Pyrenees Mix
9
- 10 year old Panda and Teddy came to us after their
owner passed away. They were very unsocial, and
it took us a long time to gain their trust. Part
of their behavior is genetic and part of it was
from living an isolated life on a farm. Even now
- years later - they are not warm fuzzy dogs, though
they do like attention, and LOVE being inside snuggled
on their dog beds. We would love to see these two
Seniors adopted together, they are lifelong friends
(littermates), and are very bonded and dependent
on each other (especially Panda).
Teddy
and Panda are available for adoption to a special
home with understanding, patient, special people.
If you are interested in offering them a furever
home, please submit an application. Click -> HERE
Sponsors
and donations towards their care are always greatly
appreciated. Donations can be made via PayPal using

Jake
Lawn
mower - Jake (his brother Jasper recently passed
away) - were abandoned at their prior home when
their owner was evicted from the property.
Wonderful
for keeping the fields "mowed" where lawn mowers
cannot go.
