Wolfie was born on February 2, 2013! He was born with deformed front legs that inhibit him from walking normally. When brought to the vet it was recommend that he be euthanized because they believed he wouldn't be able to live a "normal life".

Wolfie was born on February 2, 2013 with deformed front legs. His condition inhib...its him from walking normally, however it does not currently deter him from his puppy ways. This page is intended to share his story and mark his progress, as he will most likely need surgeries to improve his mobility.


It's a miracle Loni is even alive. He was 7 weeks old in a scary shelter and tested positive for panleukemia. He was about to be euthanized but by some miracle there was a delay in doing so. I happened to show up at the shelter and although going to see a cat a few cages down I saw him and couldn't resist. He was said to be a hissy kitten but I picked him right up and he melted in my arms. Knowing... he tested positive for panleuk I still made the decision to take a chance to save his life. After a week of treatment Loni tested negative. A week later from that happy day, suddenly Loni was stuggling to walk with his hind legs which soon left them paralyzed with very little feeling in them. Loni had weekly vet visits testing and retesting with no solid explanation. For three weeks he just pulled himself around. Week four after hope was almost lost.. he started to crawl. Falling a lot but he was moving the legs and crawling on his knees. It slowly progressed. Week five Loni was still crawling around. Week six he would try to use his feet but he couldn't place his paws down... he would attempt to walk on the backs of his paws. Week seven was the same although this determined little soul would force himself to stand at his bowl. He still couldn't walk or end take steps without falling. Not to mention for all these weeks he's unable to use the litterbox. Week eight was a happy one.. Loni started to take steps...

Loni has progressed a lot in 2 months. From not being able to use his back legs at all to being fairly mobile and able to stand and slowly take a few steps. Loni has seen four different vets with many visit and many tests and treatments. He is still being treated and although I don't want to get my heart set on it he is expected to fully recover. It may be months down the road but all that matters is that he recovers. measure: A 6.5 B 3.5 C 2+ D 4 E 3

A Facebook page for every dog

It's been a busy time at Reunion Rescue No Kill Refuge. It took some doing, but in between feedings, walkings, freezing pumpkin bones and other chores, each doggie has his own or shared Facebook page.

Please take a minute to share with your networks and like our guys! Most of these precious dogs have never had a friend before coming to Reunion.

BeBe loves to watch old movies...and she's our star.
BeBe used to be Batgirl and was the first of our Spindletop refugees to make her way to safety. She is thriving and doing great on her raw food diet and herbal support. Looking way forward to getting some volunteer help and entering BeBe and some of the others in obedience classes.

Angel before he went Yankee on us....
Angel was the first one to go. We got him back from Spindletop and talk about bounce back! He was ready and raring to travel all the way to Minnesota to be with Barbara and Ms. Murmur who was adopted almost four years ago from Reunion Rescue.

Amber..the love of my life...
Amber is doing wonderfully. We've kept her original page in memory of Stella who was rescued with Amber and died tragically at Spindletop. Whatever joy can be brought into Amber's world helps to honor Stella and move forward to a better place.

Nolan chillin' at doggy day care...
Nolan was another abuse case who came within a hair's distance of winding up at Spindletop. Although Leah Purcell actually collected hundreds and hundreds of dollars for him, his transporter got wind of the raid and turned the car around.

Nolan is safely with Reunion Rescue and has gained almost 30 pounds...he is looking gorgeous!

Peanut on the trail!
Peanut was pulled illegally from Alvin Animal Control by Purcell under Reunion Rescue's 501(c)(3). We heard about this after the raid and seizure. Peanut used to be Feo...and who could name a cutie pie like him a word meaning 'ugly?'

After we got all the Spindletop refugees safe and on the road to recovery, it was time to bring our California dogs to Texas.
William is all smiles!

William was tortured, starved to bones, thrown on a lit grill and drug behind a truck before being dumped at one of the worst shelters in the U.S. Stockton. He is loving Texas and hits the trail on a daily basis.

Vinny and Guido..best friends for life!

Last, but certainly not least, Vicente and Guido share a page just like their close friendship. Vicente came from Marin Humane Society who wanted to euthanize him due to 'human aggression.' Boy, we'd like to meet THAT human! This boy is about as loverboy as they get. Still scratching our heads over that assessment.

Guido came from Wasco and is all about the love. You literally have to peel him off to get him to go on a walk! He will sit and love you all day long if you give him half the chance.
