The Pekingese Pack

The July 4th holiday always sends a rush of animals to area shelters. But, for the Austin Humane Society (AHS), last summer, it was July 3rd that brought more than a dozen senior Pekingese mixes through their doors.

We all know the popular adage, “Who Rescued Who?” referring to the rewards that rescued animals provide their adopters.  

Apollo

Austin Pets Alive! (APA!) rescued 8-year-old Apollo from the city shelter, where it was discovered he had a large mass. He also seemed to be overly tired, even for a lower energy dog. 

Shirley Jones

Shirley Jones made the trek to Brooklyn, New York, all the way from Selma, Alabama. At 14 years of age, this sweet terrier mix found herself in a shelter when her owner passed away.
