Drum roll please.....We have a name! From here on out, our rescue boy formerly known as "Russ" is going to be a.....HOWIE!!! Don't worry, he didn't know "Russ" was his name, so the transition will be easy and part of his training. He's such a curious, smart, sweet boy (big props to the family that rescued and took care of him!!!). One of our Sr. Trainers, Erin Werner, suggested the name Howard, and it reminded us of one of our favs who helped us into a few doors that had been closed quite a few years ago. The opportunities the human Howie provided us as a program, helped us to blossom into one of the largest programs in the Midwest, which allows us to get service dogs to more of the people who need them. We've been lucky enough to keep in touch with that Howie over the years. He's smart, funny, curious, and gentle, too. This just fit! Wear the name well, Howie dog. It's a good name. #howiedoing #howiedog #sitservicedogs #zerotohero #rescueworks #community #sitservicedogs https://www.instagram.com/p/CC3a-mTHbIr/?igshid=4za0pypeebt8

Who remembers our sucker case, Granny? We were able to take Granny in the nick of time (in fact, the fantastic people who rescued her gave her extra time to find a foster home). This lovely old lady is at least 10 years old, came in heartworm positive, along with terrible skin issues, and all of the lumps and bumps that come with advanced age. Unfortunately, Granny Bertie has several conditions that while they do not currently cause her pain or discomfort, have made her a hospice dog. Now that our terrific vets have dealt with the health concerns that could be managed, we were content to let her spend the rest of her time napping by the fire. But I think she had other plans: Granny Bertie has taken to therapy work as if she was made for it ♥️♥️♥️. Last week, she finished up her hours for therapy dog work! One of her rescuers told us it's as if Granny is Cinderella...if Cinderella was a tough ol' ex-stray pittie who spent her sunset years bringing joy and gettin' pets instead of marrying some dude she had only met once at a dance 😂. Not only will Granny be joining our Therapy Team Program, but she will be working at the PUPCORN AND A MOVIE EVENT!!!! She will be available to cuddle during the movie as one our Santa's Little Helpers. Her ticket will be auctioned at the event, so you'll need to purchase a base ticket and then plan to bid for her at the movie. Good thing it's for a good cause, because were not really sure who will enjoy the movie and cuddle more- Granny Bertie or her movie buddy! #rescueworks #SITtherapyprogram #zerotohero #olddognewtricks #nevertoooldtomakeadifference #ageisjustanumber #goodgirl #cookieswithgrannybertie #sitservicedogs https://www.instagram.com/p/B4f9VFXH4dS/?igshid=1qwxba7x2tbbb

#Repost @littlewanderersnyc with @get_repost ・・・ Family! Meet our newest rescue, Lady Gaga (we’d like her to be as happy as Gaga once she heals). This poor cat has been walking around with a horrendous lesion on her left eye for God knows how long. She was rescued from the Bronx streets and right before heavy rains and turbulent wind. She’s at the vets office right now (this is an emergency) and underwent a surgical procedure to remove the mass on her eye. It will be sent to the laboratory for clinical testing. Lady Gaga needs two things. 1) A sponsor for today’s medical costs ($375) and 2) an immediate foster. She is not feral but she is petrified so she will need to be in a crate where she can recuperate, regain strength and then we’ll determine the next course of action for her. We will travel for her within the tri-state area. Please send us a direct message or email [email protected]. Let’s get this four-legged Lady Gaga as happy as the two-legged one (congratulations to the indomitable Gaga on your well-deserved win). Thank you Linda, @feraltnvr for trapping her.

Regrann from @littlewanderersnyc - This little dude Chaplin had a rough time at the adoption event last weekend. Not all cats like to be in a kitty jail while being poked around by strangers, Chaplin is one of them. And to top it all off, poor thing had a rough ride on his way to the adoption event and threw up in the carrier. We sent him home before the adoption event was over. Chaplin lives in Queens with @rachelmaung and will only be available to meet and greet (no more kitty jail for Chaplin 🙈) He is a free spirited kitty who LOVES affection and play time. He is 1 year old, vaccinated, FIV/FeLV- and microchipped. Visit our website www.littlewanderersnyc.org to adopt Chaplin! #adoptme #adoptacat #adoptdontshop #rescuecat #rescueworks #rescueismyfavoritebreed #catsofnyc #catsofinstagram #catsofworld #catsoftheday #bestfriendgoals #kitty #kittycat #greycat #cat - #regrann
