Olive and Marvella were invited to the same Christmas Ball. Now they are arguing who should wear this very expensive, beautiful wig. Please help them decide who wore it better.

Sludge: Olive, what are you doing?
Olive: I'm staring into this crystal ball. It tells the future.
Sludge: What does this tell you about my future?
Olive: it is full of burning flames and the sounds of monsters.
Sludge: Oh no! That sounds hot, really hot. Do the monsters have wings?
Olive: And fangs.
Sludge: Not the evil butterflies!!!!!! Look again. This is horrible.
Marvalla: Hold up Sludge! Our moronic medium is not gazing into a crystal ball.
Sludge: She's not?
Oliva: I'm not?
Marvalla: It is a space heater.
Sludge: A space heater?
Olivia: A space heater? So I was talking to aliens?
Marvalla: you were communicating with a machine that blows out hot air.
Sludge: So I'm not going to spend my future in he........
Marvalla: Hello mindless marvel. Nope.
Sludge: What about the monsters?
Marvella: That was just the machine oscillating.
Sludge: Well, Oscillating sounds like he doesn't feel good.
Olive: Maybe Oscillating needs some medicine.
Marvella: I AM THE ONLY ONE HERE THAT NEEDS MEDICATING. YOU TWO HAVE DRIVEN ME CRAZY!

Walking Home Together has kinda been keeping a secret. Well here she is, Olive.....ya know........the other reindeer. Although her before picture looks pretty rough, we think Olive cleans up nicely. She does need to gain a few pounds and be spayed. She is heartworm negative. Follow Olive's journey to a better life with Walking Home Together.

Pray for Sludge. I played passing gas noises for him and, as usual, he thinks he was the cause of some noxious melody. He then googled his symptoms and believes he is suffering from "something chronic and possibly fatal." Poor Sludge.

Good morning from Walking Home Together.

Stop with the negatively. These are not Sludge's pups and they are old enough to be neutered. I promote positive dialog and simply block those who don't.
The pups are getting neutered today.

FAQs About US
Hi everyone! Welcome to our Rescue Page. There are many questions that we get asked a lot, so I am adding this page to answer our most popular and most frequently asked questions. Thank you, Geri Addison, Assistant Director, Walking Home Together
What is our adoption fee and what does it cover? Our adoption fee is $200. It covers the pet’s spay/neuter surgery, micro-chip, vaccinations up to date for age including rabies, de-worming, flea prevention, and heart worm prevention if they are old enough. It also covers any medical treatment that the dog may have incurred prior to being put up for adoption. Some of our animals come to us with devastating injuries that may have cost us thousands of dollars to have treatment. Even if this is the case, the adoption fee NEVER goes up.
Do we have to fill out an application before visiting the dogs? YES. We do this so we can make sure that you are a good adopter. We check vet references, number of pets owned, etc... Our application is only one page, is very simple to fill out, and gives us invaluable information about you, your family, your pets, etc... The ONLY exception to this is if we are having an open “Meet and Greet” or are having an adoption event. Even then, you will be asked to fill out an application on site.
My child called to ask about dogs, and you would not talk to them. Yes, this is more of a statement than a question, but NO, we will not discuss an animal with a minor. Even if you are looking for a dog for your child, you need to realize that YOU are the one that is ultimately responsible for the animal. We do not adopt to minors, and if you are considering adopting from us, please have the courtesy to call us yourself.
Can we return our dog if things are not working out? The answer to this is yes, but you have 3 days to do it. It is unreal the calls we get from people who have had a dog a year or more that want to return a dog because of behavior issues. When you adopt from us, you are given a puppy packet that goes over training issues and other puppy care items. If you have had a dog from a puppy for over a year and they have behavioral issues, guess who’s fault it is? We will offer you solutions, suggest training, etc..., but we will not just say, “Ok, you failed to do what you said you were going to do, so we will take your problematic dog back after you have owned him for 3 years.” Not going to happen. We have other animals in our care that we have a responsibility to, and taking in your food aggressive, fence jumping or digging, ill behaved dog would not be fair to them.
If we see a dog that we want will you hold it for us? This is not a cut and dried situation. If you want a dog, and you arrange to come see it on Friday, but another person comes to see the dog on Tuesday and decides that they want the dog it is adopted to them. If we had a dollar for every person that said they were going to come and get a dog on Friday, but then never showed up to get said dog, we would not need to have fund raisers. Being in rescue it is our job to find our pups homes in a timely manner. The only exception to this is if you want to put down a deposit on a certain dog, because you know you want them, but you physically cannot pick them up until later. In these cases, if you are sure you want the dog, you can put down a $100 NON-REFUNDABLE deposit. Yes, I said Non-refundable. If you do not pick the dog up on the agreed day, and someone else comes and sees the dog and cannot live without it, they will get the opportunity to adopt the dog, and you will forfeit your deposit and claim on the dog. Bottom line is, if you tell us you will be there Saturday morning at 10am to pick up your pet, then be there at 10am to pick up your pet. Our first and primary responsibility is finding the animal a safe home, and that is what we stick to.
Can you let us know if you get a “insert dog breed here” in? The answer to that question is no. We simply do not have the time or resources to keep up with who is wanting a certain breed of dog when we get one. You have to watch our page and see if we have whatever you are looking for.
What is Fido mixed with and how big will they get? The majority of the animals we get in come from animal control. Most of the time we do not know the environment from which they came, and there is no way for us to know what the parents were. We can make an educated guess as to what the dog is, but that is all it is. As far as size goes, Please don’t adopt a chihuahua from us, over feed it to the point of obesity, then accuse us of being dishonest in how big it will get or how much it will weigh when full grown. Also, we list EVERYTHING we know about the dog when we post it. Please don’t email us and ask about the background, parents, etc...If we don’t put it in the listing then it is an unknown. Plain and simple.
Also, please be advised that there is literally only 2 people who do the bulk of the work in this rescue. We WILL get to you email, question, etc...Please don’t email, private message, and blow the phone up. This only serves to slow the entire process down, and we have actual lives in the meantime. Please do not call, message, or email us at 9pm at night and expect us to answer right away. This IS our job. We do not get paid, and we deserve to have some down time just like you do from your regular job. The ONLY exception to this is if you have a true animal emergency and need help ASAP. For example, if you have a nursing mother and puppies, and the mother gets out and gets killed by a vehicle, if you are not versed in bottle feeding THAT constitutes a rescue emergency. Your personal dog barking at 2am because you leave it in the yard 24/7, and you cannot stand the barking any longer is NOT an emergency.
The bottom line is we are here for the animals in our care, and we are going to do what is best for them regardless.
