A Story about Two Inseparable Best Friends Sophie, the Australian Shepard was surrendered to us from a man who had her chained in his back yard. She was chained because she snapped at his children at feeding time. Feeding time was the only time she was allowed off the chain and was harassed by a large Male GSD and the kids. She was skin and bones when we got her. After 8 years she has been one of the most dedicated and loving dogs we have had the good fortune to share our lives with. Her companion is Oliver. Oliver is one of 3 kittens we took in from Huntsville, Alabama animal services along with mother Sabrina. Oliver is dedicated to Sophie, and they are inseparable. Oliver was sick as a kitten and not adoptable until he was about 9 months old, past the preferred adoptable stage. So he's been with us for a long time. Sophie and Oliver are two of the oldest rescues we have had in our Haven. Out of 32 cats and 9 dogs currently living here, 3/4 are at least 2 years old. Once the cats pass the kitten stage and the dogs pass the puppy stage (at about 1-2 years) no one seems to take an interest in them, so we will have them until they pass. We still take young ones in, sick, abused, neglected and abandoned dogs and cats. Its been tough this year given the financial climate and we have to limit our intake depending on our adoptions. Its been difficult to choose the case best suited to tell the story of the dogs and cats here - some are pretty tough.
