Helping Sweet Bane

Earlier this year, The Tortorella Family Foundation received a heartbreaking request to rehome a sweet, special needs pittie who lives in Ohio.  We attempted to contact some rescues we knew and to make a public appeal, but unfortunately, no one was able at that time to take Bane.

If anyone can help, we’d be very grateful as would his family.  Bane is two-year-old paraplegic dog who is terrific with dogs and cats and adores his two little human sisters who call him “Bean”. Due to financial reasons, his family cannot keep him. It is obvious that they provide him with lots of love and excellent care. They would like Bane to go to a good home or rescue that can provide him with the therapy he needs to strengthen his muscles. He is UTD on all vaccines and has been neutered. Please share Bane’s story far and wide… so everyone can see what a special pup he is! Anyone interested can contact us on the website or write to robin.meng11@gmail.com. Thank you so much!

Lucy Spotlighted on Hockey & Hounds Broadcast

I LOVE LUCY!

How could you not adore this sweet-faced, boxer-pit mix? Lucy was found living in deplorable conditions with a fever and multiple wounds from being chained. Thankfully, she was rescued by Scioto Area Humane Society of Ohio and taken to a veterinarian. Lucy has given birth to a few litters and needs to be spayed. She is about 3 years-old and is staying with a foster. Lucy is great with kids of all ages but doesn’t understand how to behave with other dogs, so it would be best if she was the only dog in the house. If you are interested in meeting this love-bug and giving her story a happy ending, please call Linda Kennedy Patrick with the Scioto Humane Society at 740-352-3339.

Adopt Me? A little shy, Gorgeous Marshmallow is Sweet, too!

Marshmallow is available for adoption through Animal Life Rescue. Contact Bryan Rouse at animallifeinc@gmail.com for more information.

Marshmallow is one of 25 cats that was rescued from a hoarding/divorce situation in North Carolina in April. Animal Life  Rescue took in 16 of those cats, and Marshmallow is one of them. While a little timid, Marshmallow is vetted and adjusting to her new surroundings and is looking for a forever home.

Animal Life also took in one of 10 dogs rescued in this situation. To learn more about the rescue of Marshmallow and her “siblings,” click here.

ADOPT ME? Dannon Wants a Family with Dogs!

Whatta smile! Eight-month-old Dannon is looking for a forever home where he’ll live with another dog — he’s crazy about other pups! He’s a little on the timid side as he figures out the big wide world, and other dogs really help him feel comfortable and confident.

His happy place is playing in the yard with his human and dog buddies. If you have a dog or dogs at home looking for a new friend, consider Dannon! Go meet him or e-mail trainer@914.org or call (914) 941-2896 x 24 with any questions!

Dannon is a part of the Tortorella Foundation sponsored “The Way Home” program. Dannon and all of the SPCA of Westchester’s animals can be seen at www.spca914.org and the SPCA of Westchester is located in Briarcliff Manor, NY.
