Get a kick out of Lee??? We are beyond thrilled to the point of ecstatic…to have a throw-away dog who languished tied to a igloo behind the pound for 8 months in the snow, heat, rain, etc. with only minimal human contact…a dog unloved and unwanted and pretty much doomed.  He was only kept alive because Tyfanny in New Hampshire was sending money every month for his board or he would have been euthanized.  To have this dog not just adopted, but now serving is a miracle! We are filled with joy at his accomplishments! We are all crying happy tears at his new wonderful life. It is more than we dared to dream for him and helps all of us keep up our spirits in this sad job, as most endings are not happy ones. God bless you, and he most surely will.

Lee was tracked by DFD on Easter and was hiding out for there weeks in a patch of bamboo. It took a lot of love and patience—going out to feed him twice a day and letting him play with Heidi to win him over so he could be caught. He now lives with Anne and Heidi and he is a Search and Rescue dog. What a wonderful life! Lee is pictured with Janel, his current handler.
