A New Boy Joins the Col. Potter Family!

Written by CP's VP of Intakes

Several weeks ago we were contacted by a small shelter in Missouri who had taken in three Cairns - 2 females and 1 male - released from a puppy mill. As is our procedure, we asked them if they thought they would be able to adopt them out and if they got into danger, to contact us. We also maintained contact with the shelter. The two females were adopted and the male had an adoption pending on him. Case closed ... or so we thought. When we checked back with the shelter this week, the adoption of the male had fallen through. The family never showed up for him and his time had now run out. Once again Col. Potter was able to arrive in the nick of time to get this boy out of the shelter and to safety in the loving arms of CP!

This has been a week of emotional roller coaster with the low point being Winnie, the Westie, getting lost, racing around the curve of the coaster with the amazing efforts of her foster mom and our own Dennis T. spreading the word about Winnie and then the coaster high of finding Winnie. I thought about what amazing people we have as a part of Col. Potter and what makes Col. Potter so amazing in turn. There aren't a lot of people who would have taken it upon themselves to do what Dennis did and was prepared to continue doing until Winnie was found.

This little Cairn has also been on a roller coaster ride, starting at the bottom with life in a mill, coming around that curve to find himself in a shelter with a chance, but was headed back down when his adoption fell through. He has now reached the top of the coaster and will find his happily ever after. In comparing the two journeys, I couldn't think of a better name or better man for this little boy to be named after than Dennis.

Please help me welcome Dennis to Col. Potter!!!

Lost Westie in LaSalle / Peru, Illinois - Now FOUND!

Written by CP's VP of Intakes

One of the little Westie girls Col. Potter helped to rescue last week is lost. She is in LaSalle/Peru, IL. Winnie bolted from her Foster Home and was last seen running down Route 6 toward the cemetery. She is chipped and wearing a black harness. If you or anyone you know is in that area and can help search for Winnie, please email Col. Potter and we will put you in touch with Westie Rescue Missouri. Please cross-post to anyone else who might be able to help!

Please send your positive thoughts and energy to those who are searching for this scared, little mill mama!
