Thursday mornings at
8:20, the WQMX Wynn and Wilson morning show
welcomes GeorjetteThomas from One Of A Kind
Pet Rescue.
She tells us about some special
animals that need a home. It's our goal to not
only find a home for our featured homeless pet,
but to educate and encourage animal adoption
in our area..
Although we feature mostly
dogs on this site, there are many wonderful
cats available at One Of A Kind Pets too.
True to its name, One Of A Kind is truly
a one of a kind place with a special mission.
They not only rescue animals off the street,
but they also go to "the pound" and rescue animals
who are about to be euthanized. They literally
save these animals from certain death.
You
can visit their adoption center located at 1929
West Market Street, Akron,Ohio 44313 or online
at

LIZZIE!
|
My name is Lizzie and this is my story ... I am an owner surrender. I endured trauma to my rear leg which required an expensive surgery. My owners could not afford the vetting that was imminently needed so they asked the staff at OOAKPR to consider taking me in and providing me with what I needed. A surgery was performed on my leg and the recuperation began; however, sadly, the surgery failed and they had to, eventually, remove the leg entirely. It has been a long process. I am doing well and adjusting just fine. After all, dogs aren't vain ... they are just eager to live life and know love. I will do well in any home; however, if you adopt me during my recuperation, you will want to be sensitive to my temporary limitations - which are decreasing in number daily! I am a happy girl and I am eager to begin my life once again.
Thank you, Olivia Mandala, you are the best photographer ever! You captured my cuteness!

APPLE!
|
I am Apple and I am a senior, big girl. My body shows evidence of extreme neglect ... my ears are scared because they have been eaten by flies (I call them ruffles), my elbows lack hair because I was made to endure hard surfaces to lay on, my belly shows evidence of multiple births ... I've just been through a lot but they assure me that my best days are yet to come. I really do want to know what it will be like to be valued, to be touched, and to be loved. To rest comfortably and to know that I no longer have to live a lonely existence. I am agreeable and I love people. I am not demanding nor am I loud or demonstrative. I am just one good girl looking for a good home ... might it be with you? Please make an appointment to see me ... I am worth the trip - I promise. Thank you Olivia Mandala, photographer, you are so patient and kind :).

EVA!

Meet Eva ... and this one girl you'll want to meet ... Hi, I'm Eva and I was once a VERY loved girl. My previous owners had to surrender me to an animal control facility for "hardship" reasons. They were such loving and good pet parents and I am so sad with this change in circumstances. They taught me to sit, lay, give left and right paw, roll over, etc. Their dedication is "proof positive" I was loved and I am worthy of love! I am so anxious to start my life over in the kind arms of a family that resembles my past. Might you be that pet parent/family? I will anxiously await your visit ... I'm worth the trip :)! Olivia Mandala, photographer, made me look as cute as I am!Thank you, Olivia Mandala, you were so kind to me during my photo shoot!

BENNY!
|
Hi, my name is Benny and I am one sweet boy! After 2 years, and having been adopted as a pup, I was returned to the shelter because I was nipping at the small children when they wee taking my food and toys away. This behavior is called "resource guarding" and is a very workable/curable behavior. Though, I have not shown any signs of this behavior since I have been back at the shelter. They feed me by hand and take "my stuff" from me at will and there hasn't been any incidence - honest! I am beyond unique looking ... and you'd have to see me to believe it ... I appear to have a Beagle head and face and a Border Collie's fur on my body. Yep ... I look like 2 different dogs! I enjoy walks and I am a cuddle bug! I mean a cuddlier! In fact, during my photo shoot I was more interested in the people than the treats they were trying to give me. Oh ... and be prepared ... I am a bit on the robust side but they're working with me to take a few pounds off! Don't delay ... come to see me today!
Thank you, Olivia Mandala, you were so kind to me during my photo shoot!

HOUND PUPPY!
|
Meet our Hound puppy ... Yep, I'm a puppy and I have the typical appeal that all puppies have ... soft fur, sweet eyes, irresistible ears and some very, very needy behaviors :). Hey, you may as well know it up front ... I'm a a baby and I am a lot of work but boy am I worth it!!! All my siblings were here together and I am the last one waiting for a home. I'm a singleton but hoping my status changes real soon! Don't think you are going to put me in a cage for 10 hours a day because that just won't work - not for you or for me. And, don't think you are going to chain me up to live outside for my lifetime because that kind of life is not in my plans. Keep in mind, I am a social animal - all dogs are - and that would lead to a lonely existence! So let's find some balls, figure out a walking route, check out a few dog parks, and begin our life together. A life of love and friendship!
My "thanks" to Olivia Mandala ... she's one terrific photographer!

ZANDER!

"Gotta love a hound dog and I'm one good looking boy!" Equal to my looks is my manner. I can sit on command and give "paw" too. Someone worked with me at one point in my life and I was well on my way to becoming "impressive" but the training stopped and my home went away. Now i have found myself in a shelter and this is the absolute last place I want to be! I look forward to leashed walks(I'm a hound), lounging in the sun, and just being with you ... my best friend. I'm just a few years old and have a whole life ahead of me if someone will just come to get me. I get along fine with everyone so I remain confused as to why anyone would have given me up to an animal control facility. Well, that chapter of my life is over now and I am safe as I await my "forever home." Might your home be mine too?
Kudos to volunteer Olivia Mandala … thank you for making me look so handsome in my pictures!

PUPPIES!!
|
Meet our Shepherd mix puppies! These sweet puppies are about 2 months old and are ready for their forever home. We not only have had the privilege of knowing them but we had their Mom and Dad too. Mom is already in her forever home and Dad is still waiting with his pups. Their temperament is unusually calm for such tiny pups and they show signs of being the amazing dogs that their parents are. These babies have all of the same puppy needs we’d expect and with their intelligence, they will learn quickly and bond to their forever family. With your patience these sweet pups will learn and become your next best friend - and the pet companion you've always wanted. Containment is "key" - either on the end of a safely installed lead / leash or in a fenced yard - when rescuing a dog until trust and boundary training is established. Furthermore, dogs do not fare well when encountering a moving car - especially immature pups!!! Do you have up to 15 years to share with a selfless dog? Do you understand the commitment? Can you provide a "forever home?" Do you have what it takes to be the best pet parent ever? If you can answer "yes" to these questions we can talk about a future for the puppies!

Agnes & Alfrieda!
|
This sweet duo is a bonded pair & is looking for a loving home together! They both play well with other dogs and they do accept cats. These great girls were pulled from a breeder this past winter and were in extremely poor condition. It has taken their foster mom this much time to get them socialized & healthy but they are now ready for their forever home and human companion. Alfrieda is more outspoken, active, and ready to be your new best friend! Agnes is more complacent and prefers to be in your arms rather than on the floor. They will bond to a new family very quickly. If you are interested in meeting this sweet pair, please call for an appointment because we have them in foster

Meet Baby!

Meet Baby! Sweet Baby is
about 4 years old, and is as
big as she is lovable! Her
name is perfect for her,
because she is a BIG Baby!
She loves everyone she
meets, is an incredible
walker, & will do amazing
with any family. She loves
to run and play, but give
her a lap and she will try
to make herself fit on it!
Baby is SO smart, she can
sit, shake, lay down & even
roll over! Her favorite
trick is kisses. When you
make the "kissy" noise to
her, she immediately starts
to lick you! Sweet Baby,
recently had an X-Ray, and
the doctor concluded she had
an ACL injury. We are
saved our pennies for her
very expensive surgery and
she is now in recovery.
She is an INCREDIBLE girl &
deserves only the best!
Do you have a place in your
home and heart for such a
great dog?? She will always
need lots of love, affection
& toys! With your patience
Baby will learn and become
your next best friend - and
the pet companion you've
always wanted. Containment
is "key" - either on the end
of a safely installed lead /
leash or in a fenced yard -
when rescuing a dog until
trust and boundary training
is established. Furthermore,
dogs do not fare well when
encountering a moving car -
especially small dogs!!!
Keep in mind ... many dogs
cannot ever be trusted
off-lead. Do you have up to
15 years to share with a
selfless dog? Do you
understand the commitment?
Can you provide a "forever
home?" Do you have what it
takes to be the best pet
parent ever? If you can
answer "yes" to these
questions we can talk about
a future for sweet Baby!
