Introducing Carmichael

Written by a CP Intakes volunteer



Little Carmichael was found sitting near a busy intersection in a large southern city by a guardian angel. His angel had no problems getting him to come to her. Fortunately, this angel works at an animal hospital and took him there for a microchip scan, exam and boarding. Because of the microchip, they were able to locate the owner only to find out he had been missing for over a month and the owner couldn't take him back. The owner asked the vet to find Carmichael a new home. So they contacted Col Potter for help.

Carmichael is estimated to be 7-8 years old, described as friendly and very mild-mannered. He’ll be heading to his foster home tomorrow and I’m betting it won’t be long until he has a forever home.

Welcome little guy!

Welcome Kiana!

Written by a CP Volunteer

We were contacted this week by a Westie rescue friend about a Cairn at a high kill animal control in Arkansas. Contact was made and we were told they do not take owner surrenders, but had found the Cairn tied to the front door. The woman working at animal control was hoping rescue could take the girl since she was so young and deserved a second chance.

This animal control is in a small town, they have no computer and no camera, so couldn't send pictures to verify this girl was truly a Cairn. I knew I would have to go ID her in person and really hate this part … if she isn't Cairn, I will have to leave her behind. I drive to the shelter, which is out in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by cattle farms. The worker brings the dog into the office AND there is the cutest, friendliest little brindle girl you have ever seen! How could someone dump her at a place like this? This girl must have had a guardian angel watching over her to make sure Col. Potter found her in this tiny town in an animal control in the middle of nowhere.

Please welcome Kiana to the Col. Potter family!
