PB & J Family Services, a 501c3 non-profit entity, has also provided a program, Heeling Hearts, at the New Mexico women's prison in Grants NM where dogs are rescued from the Cibola County shelter and placed into the loving care of participating women in the prison. Here the dogs receive the love and attention they have lacked, as well as helping the women, many of which have lived a life of abuse and addiction, how to love once again - and sometimes for the first time in their life.
Heeling Hearts participated in the annual NM Humane Society's Doggie Dash & Dawdle 2010 whose goal is to gain support for the dogs at the shelters within the state.
Here is a slideshow showing the booth provided by Heeling Hearts.
Luv Lethal Whites - A site dedicated to my "lethal white", all dogs - and the dog-lover in all of us
I rescued two Australian Shepherds from a shelter, who are mother/son duo. The son is a “lethal white.” He was born completely deaf, and is blind in his left eye (but don't tell him - he doesn't know this). The term "lethal white" came about because when breeders would discover one or more of the litter mates was deaf and/or blind, they would cull them.
