Check out this short video about Teagan:

And I wrote this blog post the day before Teagan came to live with me; it has some of her story: www.aldf.org/teagan
Teagan is a special little German Shepherd who was horribly abused and neglected -- starved, shot, and left for dead in Mississippi. She overcame tremendous odds and survived, thanks to the unwave
ring devotion and care of Janice Wolf at Rocky Ridge Refuge in Ark. Despite the suffering she endured at the hands of a despicable human (her abuser was never found), Teagan has an amazing spirit; she is gentle, loving and trusting. If not, check out the album "Teagan (my new dog!)" http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10150254652199617.338804.680009616&l=daab474204, which has a few photos of Teagan when she was rescued; the captions tell some of her story. Also, here is an article about Teagan (unfortunately she became gravely ill after this was written; a mysterious infection perhaps caused by the bullet fragments still inside her almost took her life a second time - but she made it!):
"Teagan, German shepherd with amazing spirit to survive, meets rescuer with amazing spirit to save" http://www.examiner.com/dogs-in-national/teagan-german-shepherd-with-amazing-spirit-to-survive-meets-rescuer-with-amazing-spirit-to-save. It was a long road to recovery for Teagan, but after being lovingly fostered by Janice for well over a year, she embarked on a cross country road trip and on June 30, 2011, she arrived in her forever home - with me!! Teagan's saga has touched many people, some of whom have contacted me to ask how she is doing. So I created this page as a place to post photos and updates as she embarks on her new life in Portland, Ore., with me...her incredibly happy adoptive mom who is looking forward to giving her the best life she could ever imagine. If you are not already a fan, please "like" Rocky Ridge Refuge (http://www.facebook.com/pages/Rocky-Ridge-Refuge/117805311594760) and check out her website: http://rockyridgerefuge.com/. Janice does amazing work and did not give up on Teagan even when most would have. Also, become a fan of Animal Legal Defense Fund (the great organization I have the privilege to work for) at http://www.facebook.com/AnimalLegalDefenseFund and visit our website at www.aldf.org. Teagan and I would not be together if Alec, another very special German shepherd and the love of my life, had not died last year.
