Rescue Me UpdatesDog Adoption Follow-Up for Our Profiled Black Dogs The "Rescue Me" section of the Black Dog Rescue Project home page highlights homeless black dogs that need loving forever homes. The dogs that are chosen for the home page are dogs that are at high risk for being euthanized or living in temporary homes for far too long. These are typically dogs in the state of Utah that are residing in a shelter or foster home. When these dogs are profiled, we have no way of knowing if the outcome will be a loving forever home or if the story will end in a heartbreaking loss. Our hope and desire is that by posting these dogs on the home page, they will have a chance at beating the odds and that someone will fall in love with them and bring them home. With so many sad stories and so many homeless dogs, it is difficult to pick and choose just one. However, by selecting and focusing on one dog at a time, we hope to increase that dogs chance for a happy ending. This is also in keeping with our motto... "If you can't save all dogs, then save just one." Here you will be able to see what happened to the "Rescue Me" dogs at Black Dog Rescue Project. This is the rest of the story...
RESCUE ME We are overjoyed to report that this sweet boy now has a home of his own to live out the rest of his days. After 17 long months in rescue and foster care, Trigger is home. His foster mom, Jill, placed another ad in the local paper and pointed folks to our site for more information and a pic. We are thrilled that we were able to help Trigger finally find his forever home. Welcome Home Trigger!
Beautiful Blue is home, but he can't stay for long. Blue only ended up at the shelter because the city that Blue lives in does not allow more than two dogs per household. There are three dogs in blue's home. When Blue's time was up at the shelter, his family couldn't stand the thought of him not making it out alive. They were able to save his life and bring him home until they can find a new family for him. If you think that Blue would be a great addition to your family, please contact the Ogden Shelter and they can give you the contact information for Blue.

Laney will soon be HOME!

RESCUE ME When Sparky's time was about to run out on January 12, 2010, the Utah Humane Society volunteered to take him in.

We are very happy to know that our fabulous Sparky is safe for a time until his forever family is found. If you are interested in adopting this wonderful dog, please contact the Utah Humane Society located in Murray, Utah at 801-261-2919. UPDATE: A young man read our KSL ad about Sparky.

On Saturday, January 23rd Sparky became available for adoption and that same day, this kind hearted young man brought home his new best friend. Welcome Home Sparky!

Buddy was the perfect match for them and will have a full life ahead of him enjoying both human and canine companionship. Welcome home Buddy! Digger - We learned that the original owner of Digger and Buddy was very torn about giving up his dogs. Because he loved them both dearly and was no longer in a position to be able to keep both dogs, he decided to give them both up instead of make a decision between the two of them. As soon as he learned that Buddy had found a new home, he returned to the shelter to officially adopt Digger and bring him home once again. Welcome Home Digger!
