Ramona the Dog writes to her RESCUERS!!

Dear Miss Cindy and Miss Maria,

Thanks fer gittin me outta that shelter this morning! I was kinda going crazy with boredom in there. I had fun riding with you and also with Miss Edie. Thanks for making my crate so comfy and soft and for giving me a chewie. Between that and the milk bones Miss Edie gave me I had a great ride to Concord! I even got a little nap and Miss Edie said as a special favor to me she was not going to sing!

I know you help lots of other doggies like me who are down on their luck and I want to thank you for them and especially for me. To show you how grateful I am, I'm going to be an extra good girl my whole life just so you'll know it was worth all the effort you put in to save me. Well, at least I'll try to be good tomorrow. ;-)

I am already at my new foster home and I'm very happy. I have toys and I love my new foster mom!

Thank you again, U guys R lifesavers!
All my love furever and ever,
Ramona xoxoxoxox

PS - A special thanks to Mr Jim for lettin me ride in his car. :-)

Ramona the Dog writes letter to God

Dear God, and Guardian Angels,

Hi! Its me Ramona. I am 8 months old and I'm begging for your help. I was picked up by the dog catcher 2 months ago and I landed in jail. The people here have been pretty nice to me, but ya see, they aren't allowed to adopt out pitbulls. :-(

Lucky for me, I have a great personality, a pretty face, and I've been told I am very Charasmatic (wink,wink) The people here have grown fond of me, which is why I've lasted this long, but I overheard someone say today "my time is almost up". (GULP!) They have tried to help me get out of here, but sadly there arent many takers for a girl like me.

I promise if someone will give me a chance, I'll be the best I can be. I'm smart, and funny, healthy and fully vetted...I have a contagious smile and I've never met a stranger. I have a docked tail that doesnt stop wiggling when I meet you., Did I mention how funny I am???? I love everyone, and I need to get outta here ASAP!!!!. I am starting to get a little stir crazy here since I'm just a pup, and I need to run and play. I pray those days arent over, God Please help Me! Please answer my prayer and send a rescuer my way! Please tell all your peeps to Call or email my friend Cindy to find out how to save me!

Sincerely Thankful,
Ramona (pawprint) xoxo

NOTE: Ramona is being rescued! I am transporting her to Concord this morning where she'll be picked up by AARF (Animal Adoption and Rescue Foundation) and taken to her new foster home in Winston-Salem! YAYYYY!! Many thanks to my friend Cindy Starkey of Camp Bark for her hard work on behalf of Ramona!
