new girl on the block


Meet Perxais, the sweetest, cutest, golden pit bull you could imagine! This photo doesn't begin to do justice, especially to her green eyes.
Perxais came to us just a week ago; a situation had arisen in her home that meant she had to leave asap - and being a pit bull, the chances of a good outcome in a pound in the Phoenix area were not high. The brother of her owner has volunteered here, and called late Friday night, asking if we could take her. We had no empty kennels - though plenty of vacant space - so he very generously offered to buy our FIRST EVER proper modular kennel system. To date, we are still using the somewhat dilapidated panels kindly donated to us when we hurriedly created a facility to house the Katrina rescues. We get by, but we need better.
So Monday morning, he drove to PHX and picked this baby girl up - she is just over a year old. She loved the ride in the car!! He met Norbu, who is helping out for a couple of weeks, in Payson - and they arrived together: dog, panels - a complete do-it-yourself set!! The modular panels are a joy - so easy to configure, the kennel was ready in no time. Perxais had her new (temporary) home!!
Settling in is never easy for a pup used to a family and home, but we hope she will find a new one soon. She went to the vet this week and was spayed, so now she is ready to move on. In the meantime, we will all love her and enjoy her beautiful face and sweet disposition.
