Meet Charlie!

He is our newest rescue turned family member!!

Poor Charlie belonged to people that kept him chained outside

in a dog run for his first 2 years of life!

When the call came that his owners were wanting to give him up, friends

of mine responded.  He was in such bad shape he did not look like a cocker spaniel.

After a good bath and grooming and 3 flea dips he looked much better!

I was only suppose to look at him and help place him but....wow what a charmer he is!

I left there with him that day.  Off to the vet we went, he had never even had shots,,ever!!

We got him shots and neutered and then found out he was anemic and had heartworms , not

a big surprise to us.  He had only been fed raw hot dogs from the time he was a pup till I got him

a month ago. 

Well he thanks us everyday!!   He is getting healthier every day and loves his dog food.

He is a great ball player and likes to swim too!

But most of all he is a total love bug.  He constantly wants to cuddle and will never be living

outside again.

It breaks my heart to think of him chained up all alone for so long but, as Kevin says  "He has hit the jack pot now"!

If a pet is in your future, consider one that needs a second chance at love, you be so glad you did!!

Hi folks!

In this issue of our newsletter, we want to introduce you to our newest

addition, Isabealle.

Isabealle is a 1 1/2 yr old Boykin Spaniel.  Boykins are more of a rare breed, mainly found in

the Carolinas, they are actually the state dog of South Carolina.

They have always been on my "I want one of those" bucket list of dog breeds to own one day.

(My bucket list of dog breeds are breeds that I want to own before I kick the bucket. )

So anyway, Isabealle was surrendered to animal control and put on death row.  There are just

not enough homes for all the homeless dogs out there.  A friend of mine that happened to be there saw Isabealle and

knew right away she was a Boykin.  She adopted her , brought her home and called me!!  Did I know of anyone

looking for a Boykin???  You bettcha I did !!  Me!!  After a bit of convincing Kevin that he wanted one to, Isabealle came to live

with us.

She is a doll, very playful and loving and a total ham!

Consider a dog in need if you are looking to add to your family, you won't be sorry!!

Well folks, the Hounds of Hillcrest have been yapping about making sure you all know that we are all owned by a Hillcrest Kitty Cat!!

So for this issue, the hounds want to feature our kitty CAbi!!

 We met Cabi last June on a very rainy evening.

We are what you call "dog" people however, we are animal lovers and this kitty needed our help.

She was abandoned, in really bad condition and she had 5 ,3 day old babies!!  How could we say no????

 I brought CAbi and her little family home and made them a nice bed in my office downstairs.  I wanted her to have her privacy to take care of her babies and to tell you the truth, I did not know what the "Hounds" and the husband would think of our newest boarders!!

 Well CAbi was a great mom and her babies were not only adorable but so much fun to watch.  They grew healthy and fast and before we knew it it was time to go to their new homes.  Each one was adopted to a home where they would be spoiled and loved!!

Now around this time the discussion started about finding a home for mommy!  I wanted to make sure she was spayed and recovered from her mommy days first.....

 Well to make a long story short, she found a great home right here!  The Hounds love her and she loves them.  She is a very spoiled house cat and will never again be on the streets alone.   We are still dog people but we are all owned by One Crazy Cat!!

Here at Hillcrest we love our hounds!!

Hi Everybody!

This newsletter we are featuring some of your pets that you have sent us pix's for as well as one of the Hillcrest Hounds!!  Keep those pix and stories coming, we love them!

 --In Memory of Elvis--We lost Elvis this past month.  We are so grateful for the opportunity to love him and show him what a spoiled Pooch's life is like

This is Elvis. 

We got Elvis the first day of September.  My pastor found him roaming around his neighborhood and called me to see who he should call.   I told him I would take him  and find him  a home.  I have never seen a dog in worse shape.

He was emaciated, full of tumors, nails so long he could not walk and well into his teenage years.

Driving away with him , I just asked him to live long enough that I could spoil him for a while!!  And right then and there I knew he already had a home!  Now we just had to tell Kevin the news!

We went to the vet to get the nails done and get shots and wormed.  We think he is at least 12 or 13 years old.  He has gained 15 pounds in 6 weeks and is a joy to live with!

He lets you know with a deep Woof if he is hungry or needs to go out.

I feel blessed just having the chance to get to know this wonderful creature and I cherish everyday we have him .

If you are considering a pet in your future, consider an older dog, You won't be disappointed!!
