This is Amy shortly after she escaped
life in the puppy mill and came into
rescue. Her skin was a mess, she was
very timid and wary, and she had no
idea how to play. She crawled around
the house and hid behind the furniture.

And this is Amy now-running,
playing, confident and full of joy.
You would never know that she

Maggie and Molly spent their entire lives in a windowless shed in
someone's back yard. When the owners found out they were being
investigated for animal cruelty, they dumped all of their animals,
including these beautiful girls. Fortunately, someone cared enough
to take them from the owner and contact Rescue. Maggie and Molly
were adopted by one of our members and have been living the high
life ever since. They are pampered and adored, as all animals
should be. Look at Maggie and Molly (below) now!

This is Tillie, a Chinese Crested/Yorkie cross.
She was picked up as a stray, pregnant,
malnourished and heartworm-positive. After
treatment, she was adopted by one of our
members and is now a healthy, happy queen
of her universe. She shares her home with
her two Crested brothers, Q and Roo. Roo
was a prior show dog whose career was
ended due to chronic skin problems, at which
time he was put up for adoption. There are
many reasons that dogs come into rescue,
but the outcome is always the same-a new
beginning and a new chance at happiness.

Q
My last person didn't have much time for me. She knew that I
really wanted to be with people more often than she could be with
me, so she made the hard decision to turn me over to rescue.
She contacted Bare Paws Rescue and I went to a foster home
where I got veterinary care, good food, a big bed to sleep in, and
people who were around for me. I gained weight and started
playing-life was good.
One day, a wonderful forever home was found for me. I am
happier than I ever dreamed possible. I have people who love
me very much and there is always someone to cuddle with. I
sleep in the big warm bed under the covers at night and spend
my days lounging in the sunshine-I feel like the luckiest little guy
on earth. Life is very good indeed.

A couple of months ago, I was chatting with Sue and questioned how one can have more than one dog,
wondering if they are actually willing to share a mommy. I have my hairless angel who is not 15 months
old and was and remains as human as possible. Someone else had asked me if I was interested in
adopting a gorgeous pair of hairy hairless brothers. They were beyond gorgeous and their furnishings
were the best I have ever seen. But, I wrote to Sue and said, after getting the boys all together, it just
feels like it would always be “them” and River, my boy. She responded, “I have a feeling that the right,
needy little one will soon come into your life.” Lo and behold, just a couple months later, she asked me
if I would consider fostering a Powder Puff, believing that I was only interested in another hairless. But,
forever home, I knew, even before seeing his pic, that this was going to be my new baby and River’s
brother. And, sure enough, River welcomed him immediately into the family. They are best of friends
and River has done what I was unable to do, train Jasper. The first couple of nights, Jasper wanted to
get up, in the middle of the night and play with River. This worked for two nights, but River is a super-
sleeper so the third night, he gave Jasper “what for,” and Jasper immediately went back to sleep and
never gets up before us now☺ Also, I couldn’t get him to use a pee pad and when I totally gave up, I
literally asked River to help and help, he did. I put pads all over the staircase landing and River
crumbled all but one up…..yep, that is the one that Jasper uses. They are so smart that it is almost
frightening.
But, most importantly, I love this little guy and he has continuously broken down his fears and loves me
back. He and River are inseparable and, together, we are a very, very happy family. There is no greater
joy than opening up your heart to a “child” in need and the gratitude that “child” gives back is priceless.
Thank you so very much, Sue, for bringing this wonderful little boy to us☺

Macy
Hi, my name is Macy. My former owner took me to a dog shelter and left me. They said I
understand what I had done that was so wrong. Soon this really great lady named Maria
rescued me from there. I was still scared but it was better than that shelter. She took me
This new lady called herself Mommy, she held me and petted me and talked to me all the
that I was at my new home and that she was my new forever Mommy! (unofficially of
course). I met my two new sisters, Casey and Ellie Mae-they are Standard Poodles.
(Ellie is from a rescue, too.) We got along right away. Mommy said it was like we had
been together forever. I was still pretty nervous about everything, but my new sisters were
pretty cool and I was given food and water and a great fenced-in yard. I had my own crate
with a nice blanket to sleep in the first night. Within a couple days I settled in and my new

said she was scared Ellie would get too rough with me, but we love to play. I get on the
couch or chair or wherever and Ellie stands on the floor. A couple days after being here
we went camping! I love camping! That’s when Mom started letting me sleep in the
bed…now I lounge in bed on the mornings Mom doesn’t have to work. I get to go with
Mommy all the time and she holds me 'til I want to get down. She says her house is
suffering 'cause she can’t clean with me on her hip.
My new Dad makes fun of Mom and me, he says I am stuck on her and he will have to
pluck me out if she stops too fast. I am not sure what that means….All I know is I love to
ride on the riding mower with Mom, get in the pool, or go for walks-as long as I am with
Mom, I am good. Mom wishes I could tell her why I am so scared of strange people and
parking lots, but she says I don’t ever have to worry about being mistreated again. Mom
takes me a lot of places and says I will get better with time. Mom has made me a
shopping bag of new clothes including a Halloween costume. Life is good…Thanks Bare
Paws Rescue…Sue and Maria…

Sassy and Allie
Greetings from Miami! Our names are Sassy and Allie. We are sisters
couple in Miami. They picked us up just before a major snow storm hit the
east coast. We all drove from Pennsylvania to Miami, FL. It was quite the
met here. People seem to really like us – but why not, we are quite
likeable, very friendly, and cute too! Being hairless, we enjoy the weather
in Miami.
parents how lovable and wonderful we are. We know our new parents
would highly recommend adopting any of our Chinese Crested friends!

pretty weird stuff for a dog. She joins us in our pool but I think she

My mom breeds bearded dragons (a type of lizard) and one day one
from where my mom was to where the lizard was, all the time looking
at my mom. My mom followed her right to the lizard. My mom said it
was just like Lassie telling Timmy's parents that Timmy fell in the well.
I will send you some pictures soon but I just wanted to let you know
that we just love her and are so happy we got her.
Thank you,

worked with me, and brought me out of my shell.
I love going for rides, and my Mommys make sure that each day, we go
somewhere in the Car. I have my own Car Seat, so I can be high enough
in the car to look out the window, and see what's going on. I also love to
go for walks in the Park, and each day, weather permitting, I get to go for
get so excited when I know I'm going somewhere, and show my
excitement by spinning around in circles, and jumping. This past month, I
got to go on my first Plane ride to Alaska with my Mommys....I was a very
good Girl, and got to ride in the Cabin, and got my very own Plane
Ticket! It was quite the trip for me, and I got to smell and see things that
was completely new to me. I was a little cold there, so I got me some
more new clothes, that was a little warmer. My Mommy told me that I now
have to have 2 clothing drawers at home, because I have so many
clothes! I love my new home, and enjoy being the only Diva at my house!
My Mommys call me their "Little Ray Of Sunshine", and I am a very
spoiled little Crested Girl...I have my Mommys wrapped around my little
Paw, and I work it! My Mommys love me very much, and I love them
back, too! I am so happy I found them, and I am loving life with them!
