Chihuahua marathon.

We got a request from a lovely lady in Pueblo who had seen the article about us in the Denver Post "Colorado Kids" section November 22nd. She had rescued 12 Chihuahua mix dogs and needed to place them before the animal control took them to the pound. LaDean was afraid they would be "adopted" for bait dogs. Some people throw small dogs to pit bulls to create a fighting frenzy. OMG!!!!!
She and her daughter brought 9 of these dogs to us and they were welcomed into loving forever homes.
Knieshia took Butterscotch and Cocoa to be part of their family.
Kirstin and Dawson picked Chocolate'


Barbara and her husband took both Romeo and Bear into their family
We have four left to be placed. This is Fudge. He is a six year old male
Here are Jada Faith, Cacahuete and Lovie. All are loves! Come visit them.

Tom under saddle!

Tom came from Crested Butte. He was one of the 50 starved horses bound for the slaughter in Mexico. We choose him for his beautiful mind and his crooked leg.He is so gentle that our volunteers were able to put a saddle on him and lead him around with only sweet talk! Gregg, Jayna, and Kiley are the sweet talkers~~!
All in a morning's work here at Edwards Animals. Win-Win every day.

Hope gets a Forever home!

Joan came to say congratulations to Stacy for offering a Forever Home to Hope. You may remember it was Joan and Dr Mueller who worked so hard to get Oreo healthy enough to give life to her legacy foal Hope.

Pumpkin brigade


Tagawa's Garden Center was soooo good to us again this year. They gave us pumpkins.
How did we get them loaded into the truck?????
We set up a ramp and played bowling with pumpkins!!!!!
The animals were sooo happy to get delicious pumpkins to supplement their diets., Thank you Tagawa's

Sam the cat has forever home!!!

Sammie, the black and white tuxedo cat was adopted to a very wonderful
home on Saturday, November 19th 2011. He now lives with Jill and her two kids. Thank you Jill for giving Sammie a home. Her previous owner has Alzheimer's and had to move into assisted living and could no longer care for him. I know she deeply appreciates that he now has a nice safe
home. Sammie is so gentle and loving, in January 2012 he will be 5 years old. He loves other cats and dogs and loves to be brushed and is very talkative. He is a gentle old soul. We love him. Thanks again.
