Arrival Story:
I adopted Smiley on March 21, 2000. As hard as it could be to imagine, I guess I would have to say that Smiley was "lucky" to have ended up at the Oakland Animal Shelter. His owners had moved and abandoned him and another dog in their backyard, tied to a tree. The other dog soon died of exposure, but somehow Smiley (who has proven to be incredibly strong willed) survived for almost 2 weeks without food, water or shelter. He was reportedly seen feeding on the dead dog that lay tied down next to him in order to survive. Smiley was lucky to be alive.
Bio:
When he first entered the shelter, Smiley was covered with bruises, probably from being beaten. He was starving and emaciated and extremely scared and mistrusting of everyone. We named him "Smiley" because of the way he used to bare his teeth when he became excited.
Smiley Dog Rescue (http://www.smileydogrescue.org) was founded in April of 2000, and named in honor of my dog Smiley. It is a rescue group founded to help dogs (like and unlike Smiley) find their way into loving and committed homes. Animal shelters in this country are filled with dogs, perfect and not so perfect. These dogs have often been betrayed by their owners and never given a second chance at life. Never given the chance to love and be loved. Most shelters have a high rate of euthanasia because of overcrowding and the constant demand for space (too many people treat their animals like expendable commodities; when they aren’t wanted anymore they are cast away). There are so many deserving dogs like Smiley who sit in shelters day after day and wait for someone to take them home forever. All too many of them never find their way home.
