Lead Me Home Rescue

Talon doesn't understand why all of his littermates have been adopted except for him. He is a beautiful tuxedo little boy that was born on 10/4/24. He gets along great with other cats and kids. He hasn't been around any dogs. Talon loves people, climbing his cat condo, chasing laser lights, belly rubs, and treats. He's super smart and very curious. Please share this post so he can find his forever home. If you would like to apply for him, please visit our website @ https://www.leadmehomerescue.com/

Every dog that you rescue is special, but there's just something extra special about those first few. Ruby was the SECOND dog that I ever fostered. I saved her back in 2016 and named her after my birth stone. She couldn't have gone to a more amazing and loving family. Sherry J Campanelli and I became good friends over the years. In 2019, on one of my transport trips, I even got to spend the night at Rubies house in Rhode Island. That's us together sitting under her favorite tree in the yard.

Sweet Ruby has been fighting cancer for a while now and crossed the rainbow bridge on Sunday. This one really hurt my heart. But I'm so thankful that she got to spend her life being loved by two of the kindest human beings you could ever meet. I don't think she ever once even knew that she was a dog. Thank you both so much for adopting her and giving her all these wonderful years of happiness. Sending love and prayers to you both. I know she will be greatly missed.

Thought this was a neat article🩵🐾

Knowing your dog's human age can help you understand what they're experiencing physically and emotionally so you can support them at each stage of their lives

Thank you to WTVA for drawing attention to the importance of adopting rescue dogs. Waylon is making such a BIG DIFFERENCE in ways he doesn't even know.

Pet food manufacturer IAMS’ latest “spokesdog” Waylon has a history in north Mississippi.

Waylon has officially made his debut on IAMS TikTok page just now, as well as the streets of Chicago❤️. This is the balloon they had designed to look just like him.

We have some pretty exciting news, that up until today, we have had to keep quiet about. I rescued a cute little puppy two years ago that I named Waylon. He was adopted by Amy Webster Lacroix and now lives in Rhode Island. Amy saw a contest on FB several months ago where IAMS dogfood was looking for a dog to represent their weight loss food line. Since Waylon had put on a little "extra weight" ,she thought he would be perfect for this. We were all shocked when we got the news that IAMS PICKED HIM!!!!!

Amy and Waylon are in Chicago this week doing promotions and will be heading to New York City to be on the CBS MORNING SHOW. Part 1 of the series about him was just released on IAMS website today. I will be sharing all of them over the next few days. They even created a balloon to look just like him that will be displayed between two buildings in Chicago.

To say that I'm excited about this is an understatement. To see one of my little "throw away" Mississippi pups sign with literally one of the biggest dogfood brands in the country is surreal. From living on the streets to being featured on the CBS MORNING SHOW , Waylon's life sure has changed. Tears of joy rolled down my face watching Part 1 this morning on IAMS website. If you would like to watch him this week, his story should air between 8:15-8:45 Tuesday morning on the CBS MORNING SHOW. But if you miss it, don't worry because I will be sharing it everywhere 🤣The picture on the left is when he was first rescued.
