RIGHT: Dogs Arrive at Charlotte Monroe Executive Airport in North Carolina.We recently met Shelly Nunn, Executive Director for the Ryan Newman Foundation, at the Pilots N Paws Flyway. Thanks to the Foundation, they were able to pull dogs out of animal services who were about to be euthanized. “Vance County has one of the highest kill rates in the state at 96 percent,” she told us. (More on page 32.)
They Came. They Saw. They Adopted. If Tiffany and Josh (top photo) are any indication, the first Racing 4 Rescues at Showtime Speedway was a success. The couple drove from their New Port Richey home to the Pinellas Park event, saw Skylar and fell instantly in love. They adopted the German Shepherd puppy from Heidi’s Legacy. (

That’s the Way You Do It. Everywhere we go,we hear the special stories of rescue, foster- ing and adopting dogs. Olive, the Jack Russell pictured (top cen- ter) with Jill, Jennifer and Chris of All Dog Rescue was left for dead on the side of the road. But a kind soul and Good Samaritan refused to look the other way, and pulled over. Thinking she would just pick up the dog and maybe bury her, Vivian, a volunteer with All Dog Rescue was surprised when the dog moved. All Dog Rescue nursed Olive back to health, and had her on ready for adoption during the Racing 4 Rescues event. All it takes is one person, one moment, to make a differ- ence.Want to make a difference? Email

I Won’t Back Down. Sheer determination is exactly what former Florida resident, and artist Clair Hartmann had in order to save a dog she knew

nothing about.While on Facebook, she noticed a post about a stray that had been picked up by animal control. Being in a high kill facility, Clair knew the dog’s time was limited, and she sprung to action, calling to ask if she could adopt the dog. But, she was told that since she lived outside of the county she could not adopt the dog. Her only hope was to have a rescue organi- zation submit the correct forms in order to be able to pull the dog on its release date. “After calling every shelter we could find,we finally found someone who volunteered to go pull the dog. She was pulled with only hours left before being euthanized,” said Clair who named the dog Frida, after the artist Frida
Kahlo.The little Rat Terrier (top right) is one of the sweetest dogs Clair has ever met. She recommends checking out New Rattitude, a Rat Terrier rescue and adoption organization.

A Vote for the Dogs. In October, Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi brought Baker, a shelter dog to a Cabinet meeting. In recognition of Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, all shelter dogs over the age of six months, were available for adoption at no charge in October, every Thursday through Tallahassee’s Animal Service Center.
