SUNDAY MAY 20th LINDSEY CHIROPRACTOR AND MASSAGE 28070 RTE 176 ISLAND LAKE 10-2 _____________
MAY is BACK IN BLACK MONTH. This is where most Shelters team up to promote BLACK DOG and BLACK CAT adoptions as for for some reason they are least likely to get ADOPTED. FPALR doesn' t promote this just for one MONTH , we do this EVERY MONTH.
Top 10 Reasons to Adopt a Black Dog
10. BLACK DOGS ARE EASY TO FIND IN THE SNOW
9. BLACK DOGS ABSORB HEAT... PERFECT FOR COZYING UP TO ON A COLD WINTER NIGHT.
8. A BLACK DOG CAN MAKE YOU APPEAR THINNER
7. BLACK DOGS EXCEL AT NIGHT TIME GAMES OF HIDE AND SEEK
6. BLACK DOGS NEVER LOOK DIRTY
5. BLACK GOES WITH EVERYTHING SO YOUR BLACK DOG WILL ALWAYS BE COORDINATED WITH ALL OF YOUR OUTFITS AND YOUR FURNITURE.
4. A BLACK DOG ALWAYS LOOKS PRESENTABLE ON ANY FORMAL OCCASION.
3. BLACK IS A COMBINATION OF EVERY COLOR IN THE SPECTRUM, SO YOU WILL ACTUALLY HAVE A DOG WHO IS BLUE, GREEN, RED, ETC.,
2. BLACK DOG HAIR BECOMES INVISIBLE WHEN STUCK TO YOUR GOOD BLACK WOOL COAT.
AND THE #1 REASON TO ADOPT A BLACK DOG ... A BLACK DOG IS JUST AS LOVING, LOYAL AND TRUST WORTHY AS A WHITE, BROWN OR RED DOG, BUT THESE GUYS ARE THE MOST OFTEN OVERLOOKED. BLACK DOGS NEED HOMES TOO.

DUMPED AND PREGNANT
Well its bad enough to be DUMPED at a HIGH KILL SHELTER., where the floors are cold, the rooms are dark, and you have lost the comfort of your loving home. What makes it worse is when you are "thrown away" when pregnant. Begonia came to us two weeks ago looking a little "CHUNKY" but we thought it was just middle age bulge. Well suspicions grew and so did she. Estimate for delivery is about 2 weeks. Stay tuned for "nursery room" photos
Yes you see many dogs adopted out BUT for everyone that is adopted out there are at least 10 more that need rescue. Please take a minute and look thru our great dogs to find that new best friend today.
Your DONATION will make a difference We are devastated everytime we get a list of dogs needing rescue that day or they will be put to sleep. Imagine seeing pictures of the dogs and having to choose which ones we save, while the others we know will be put to sleep and we feel guilty. But without foster homes, adopters, or donations we can't do anymore then what we are doing already. Everyone calls and wants pups, well you know the ADULTS we have now, were once those cute cuddly pups that they call for. They have grown up andmany are cast aside for new "cute pup". With every dog adopted out, we will be able to rescue another. Please help us to help more, and give one of these once "cute pups' a home to call their own. We have several older dogs which are losing their safe homes because NO TIME FOR THEM AND TRAVELING!
WE ARE IN NEED OF FOSTERS FOR ADULTS and PUPPIES. HANDS ON VOLUNTEERS AS WELL AS DONATIONS IN ORDER TO CONTINUE SAVING THE MANY DOGS THAT ARE IN NEED. ALSO IF YOU ARE A PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER WILLING TO DONATE YOUR TIME TO TAKE PICTURES PLEASE SEND US AN EMAIL. DONATE MONTHLY , Go to the Donate Button or the Paypal Donate Button Below
Checks may be sent to the FPALR, P.O. Box 1296 Palatine Il. 60078
CHINO.... We waited for this day for a long time. You touched many hearts of volunteers as well as having your own FAN CLUB of FOLLOWERS. But we know this is all what we have hoped for ADOPTED
WE SAY GOOD BYE AND WE WILL MISS YOU BUT YOU HAVE A HOME KANDI, JACK, CLOVER, JUNIPER, BLUE, MILLIE 2, SASSY, MOLLIE, CAPONE,BUBBA, DIESEL AND GRANT OUR FELINE
AMAZING ALUMNI
David chilling out
David was taken in by FPALR from a City Operated Animal Shelter as a dog with issues needing rescue only help. In other words he would not be placed on their open adoption floor , only to rescues or he might face the end like his brother did, Euthanized. He was from a hoarding situation where socialization was nil, and he just followed the pack, seemingly the last in line for anything, and just extremely introverted. One Volunteer,Linda took the time to get to know David on a one on one basis with weekly walks and a never ending quest to find him a foster home who would be willing to work with this insecure fella. One foster family attempted to work with him to a point but after a few rough spots realized they were not up to the challenge and David was returned. Another foster was found and he was flourishing with them, when a potential adoptive home was found. However the home was not to last as David needed the companionship of another dog in the household and there wasn't any, Returned again and not able to be placed back at the foster home where he had flourished, David went to foster with a Volunteer Foster Family, Pat and Margo. With the help of their dog Wizard,, the rest is now a FOSTER FAILURE SUCCESS STORY
A note from Davids Family
David came to us after 3 failed foster attempts. Even the people at the kennel where he was staying didn't have much hope
But Linda, who is one of our volunteers, never gave up on him. Much because of her we decided to give a shot at fostering.
Realizing his past, how many places he had been in his short lifetime, we knew he couldn't be passed around any more. We adopted
him and have never looked back. All he needed was a chance, and once given one he is flourishing. He loves to play and really
loves going for walks. If there ever was a success story, this is it.

* URGENT*
we are DESPERATE for foster homes for right now, even if it can only be for a week or two, it would be a HUGE help. Young Puppies need temporary homes and some of the adults we have, would definitely benefit from some one on one attention.

A Rescued Dogs Prayer
Thank you for rescuing me … I know you’ve thought long and hard about a new friend Something about my soulful eyes and soft fur touched a very special part of you. I wanted to share with you a bit of me, and what might help me to be the best pup for you. Up until a few weeks ago I had the perfect dog life, and then one day, a day like every other, Ended with me being abandoned. I’ve been at the shelter, on the end of a chain, In a field, or sitting on the side of the road Waiting, scared, moved from place to place With no idea of who to trust or what is going to happen. Thankful for the fresh water, food, a warm place to sleep and sometimes kind people. And then you chose me … Please give me time to adjust to you and to learn your expectations of me. All I want is to please you, I just do not know how to yet. I ask you to please give me patience and understanding. I don’t yet know what you want of me. Teach me softly, consistently, Outside, down, fetch, sit, good dog! If you don’t understand my behavior, It may be because I have been abused, abandoned, neglected. Sometimes I may be afraid of you, of other people, of loud noises or sudden movements. Time and patience will help me learn to trust again. Please forgive me if I am protective of my food. I was so very hungry for a very long time. Someday I’ll understand that my food bowl will never again be empty. Adopt me because you want me, Because under my faults and flaws you see who I really am, You understand that each of us is not perfect, That our imperfections actually show our individual beauty. And last but not least, please give me the precious time I need to adjust to your house, to your home, to you. I will bond to you … be it today, or tomorrow … or next week And I promise with all that I am that I will be Your most loyal, loving, forever friend. ...by Luvin Labs
