The 'Throw-Away' Dog

Picture a vivacious, roly-poly puppy, with liquid-brown eyes that would melt almost anyone's heart. Small, energetic, and full of youthful misbehavior, Nia, a reddish-brown Shepherd mix, almost became a "throw-away dog." At 3 months old she was severely beaten and nearly discarded into city streets. Instead she was rescued, and became a poster-child for animal rescue.

Adopting From Animal Shelters

Pets make wonderful additions to a family. A pet can provide a source of unconditional love, companionship, entertainment and sometimes even provide important services for people with special needs. Adopting a pet from an animal shelter is rewarding in many ways. "Shelter animals make some of the most loyal and loving companions, because they just seem to know they have been saved," says Melissa Sartin, founder and director of Cast Away Animal Rescue Effort.

Charlie has had a rough start in life. Charlie and 

his siblings were thrown in a paper sack and

 dumped out of a moving vehicle shortly after birth.

AWS rescued the puppies and started the process

 of rehabilitating the babies. Charlie is a great

 boy that is looking for his very own home. He 

is very social and loves people. Charlie is around

 2 years and would make a good addition to any

 family. He is neutered, has been tested for 

Heartworms (negative), micro chipped, and is 

current on all of his shots. Please

What a lovely
place to Adopt!
