BILLIE
She is safe but we need donations and a good long term foster❤️

We all have so much going on but when the message came that Billie had less than 6 hours before her “ timestamp” was up, we did our best. The shelters are FULL. Rescue only dogs go first. Billie was afraid. The noisy shelter was not good for her. They told me her timestamp was set and could not be extended.

Laura Childs with AMMAR Hounds and I were juggling every idea we had to come up with a plan.

Jason of Blue line K-9 kennels not only said “ we will make room” but said the run is ready when I told him we only had until 4:45pm ( about 4 hours) He trains working dogs and knows hounds very well.
He saved her life bc Laura & I were against the wall with 4 hours to work with.
Kevin Duell dropped what he was doing & picked her up.

Well, like a lot of shelter dogs, she got outta there, jumped in the van , and was very affectionate & appreciative to be out.

He said Billie reminded him of the rescue we recently lost from lung cancer, Daisy.

So, in honor of Daisy, meet Billie!!!

Please welcome Maple & Buford to AMMAR ❤️

These two kids may have had different stories but what they did have in common was their need for a happy future 💕 Our WV rescue kennel has been closed to intakes for a couple of years now, but Sandy has opened it up to help these two sweet bloodhounds ❤️

Maple is about 1.5 years old. She was taken in several months ago by a Good Samaritan after being hit by a car. She was emaciated, flea infested and scared to death of all people. They got her vetted for her injuries but unfortunately couldn’t find her owners and also weren’t able to keep her.

Buford is around six years old and his only person passed away 😔 He didn’t have anywhere to go, or any options other than the shelter 💔

Both need a little more time to heal physically, but when we feel they’re ready we’ll share more about them and will be looking for wonderful homes for them. But right now they are safe and loved and in the best hands ❤️ Please stay tuned for updates! 😊🐾

When you know, you know ❤️ And today, Tickle’s foster family made it official and adopted him! ☺️

Once he settled in, he settled in hard ❤️ He loves his fur siblings and they love him, one of which is AMMAR alumni Banks 😊 And he is a total snuggle buddy, especially LOVING the sofa and unlimited belly rubs 😁 Big voice and all lol, he was the perfect fit to their family and we are so happy that he found such a great forever ❤️

Tickle, we wish you nothing but the best sweet boy…WELCOME HOME!! 💕🐾💕

Suzi ❤️ This very special girl is ready to find her perfect forever someone!

Suzi came to us when her elderly mom Betty passed away. Betty loved the breed and for 65 years, her life was dedicated to them. Now her last sweet girl is ready to begin her next chapter with someone who will love her as much as Betty did ❤️

Suzi’s true age is not known…some of her paperwork says she’s 7, some say 10 so she’s somewhere in between there 😊 She’s a whole lotta hound too, weighing in at around 100lbs and her fosters have been working to get some of her weight off. But don’t let her age and size fool you! She still has a lot of pep in her step and is just as sweet as her size ❤️

It took Suzi a couple of weeks to get used to the change of not being in the home she’s always known, but she is now thriving. She loves going out in the yard, smelling all of the new smells and laying in the sunshine. She loves getting her ears scratched and her best friend is a miniature Dachshund ☺️ She loves every person she meets and enjoys car rides even though she had never been in a car before we transported her. She takes in every new day, every new adventure with joy in her heart ❤️

Suzi is spayed, UTD on vaccinations, house and crate trained, and good with other dogs and cats. She is awesome in the house, no chewing or getting into anything and even though we feel she would be fine around kids, we think she would really thrive in a quieter setting. She’s being fostered in SC but transport assistance is available to the right home. For more information or to request an application please message this page or email us at [email protected] 🐾

Everyone, please meet Mr. Tickle! 🐾

This beautiful boy had been waiting for weeks in a full GA shelter, but thanks to a wonderful foster offer we were able to help! ❤️

Tickle joined his foster family in SC on Friday, and he’s settling in very well! He rides good in the car and loves going for nature walks 😊 He sleeps all night in his crate, is getting the hang of potty training and wants to be with you ❤️

Tickle is around 5 years old and is good with other dogs and ignored cats at the shelter. He is being fostered with AMMAR alumni Banks along with some other foster fursiblings ☺️ He’ll be ready to find his forever someone once he settles in more and we learn more about him so please stay tuned! 🐾

Fostering saves lives…Welcome to AMMAR sweet boy ❤️
