Before Georgia came into rescue she was being valued as a street corner commodity and bound for the first home that could pay in cash the fastest. Thankfully one of our rescuers happened upon the scene and did a street-corner-adoption on the spot.<br />
<br />
As quick as her curb-side rescue, you cannot help but fall in love on sight with Sweet Georgia. This love-hound is a healthy kiddo who greets life with enthusiasm and gains admirers everywhere she goes. She is a beautiful girl and is a friend to all. Smitten instantly. While she has befriended all of her 'big dog' foster siblings, one in particular is her best buddy. Beefy, her foster mom's 90+lb. puppy boy is her all time favorite pal. They are truly a pair and it is too funny to watch as their friendship has developed. Love and play has no size boundaries apparently with these two! They are quite the pair :: playtime, nap time, treat time, toy time, love time...always as a duo.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">This fellow. Sweet Drew. He's kinda like social glue. First he captured his foster mom's heart, next our veterinarian, add to that every admirer of his in between. This guy's a real wonder-mix. Drew is one special boy. He recently went to the vet's (winning all his admirers of course) and was diagnosed as having cherry eye. Cherry eye is a non-threatening condition and he can be scheduled for surgery in May, which should make him good as new! He can still go home prior to his surgery. Despite his cherry eye, his vision is unaffected and he makes no issue of his eye condition, remaining not the least bit self conscious. We're hoping to find Drew a family who can really see the true Drew :: a lively and lovable spirit.<br />

(okay, and just maybe that might have included dark chocolate and flowers...) But this same notion of finding love is something Sweet Calla has always dreamed of.<br />
<br />
Calla has lived her two, young years of life as a reservation dog. Free spirited? maybe, but a life without real connections or knowing what being a cherished companion truly means. Calla is one well-mannered love and we think you'll agree if you meet her that she's a natural at it. This beautiful girl is ready to play with the best of them and act as a ready and willing adventure partner and equally excited to be welcomed into a home with a couch that has her name on it. Calla is as sweet as her name implies, she's ready to love, love, love.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">I think we can all learn a lot from Calla, a girl who knows how much it would mean to find genuine love. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><em>Her dream come true.</em> </div><br />

Everyone wishes for a home for the holidays; but especially those without a place to go from the start. It's been a record breaking holiday adoption season making it a worthy cause for celebration. (This of course, meant adding something special on Christmas day for everyone in the puppy wing: a bounty of holiday toys, extra chew toys and treats followed by rounds of tail wagging and a chorus of squeaker toys!) From waif to wonderful - on giving new leashes on life and to the families finding new love in their canine companions who fit right in; each one is a miracle!<br />
<br />
To the compassionate folks we are lucky to work with and our Lil' Waif extended family that continues to grow, many thanks for helping create such happy endings and a record one for 2009! <br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Lil' Waif's puppy nursery welcomed the Kansas 7 yesterday. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">The flight was a success after some unexpected frenzy at pick up but the real winners are the seven new faces who will begin their search for forever families. Such transports, usually go without a hitch, so we couldn't be more thankful that the "...no, we're certain. these are not our puppies!" puppy-mix-up-during transport was solved! Thanks to all involved on each end from L-worth, Kansas to Seatown!) That said, it was a big day for all. </span><br />

</div><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">These kiddos were rescued from an overcrowded shelter and immediately went into an exceptional foster care home with their Beagle mom Lucy (who has found her home for the holidays!) We couldn't be more pleased and are thankful for the wonderful people we get to meet and form relationships that extend beyond rescue work. We are lucky to have found such a wonderful and equally devoted team of pet rescuers to work with. It's obvious the quality, hands on care these guys and gals received; their happy dispositions, loving natures and ability to greet all new admirers with enthusiasm definitely shows!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Meanwhile, here at Lil' Waif, we're a busy crew. The rescue's energy dynamics have been raised to a whole new level! One that includes loads of synchronized tail wagging and puppy loves.</span><br />

</div>When we checked in last, we told all of our wonderful Lil' Waif followers to stay tuned. While that update seems like a long time ago it is finally the right time to rally up announcements and e-blasts of a special delivery. Creating this book was both a wonderful and challenging experience and we are excited to navigate the new adventures post-publishing will bring. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://lilwaif-rescue.blogspot.com/2008/12/inspiration-comes-on-many-levels.html"><em><span style="font-size: 100%;">Timmy’s Rescue: One Lil’ Waif at a Time</span></em></a><span style="font-size: 100%;"> is a true story about finding inspiration and gifts of friendship. Now, when people ask, "Just how did you get involved in rescue?" this story, can be our answer... Watching our book evolve while patiently wading through the publishing process has been a worthwhile venture and now we're ready to share it. It's done! It's finally here. Time to spread the word and begin our adventure into the book-world; we're excited! We hope you are too.<br />

While their work may not be hitting the Hollywood box office anytime soon, if only famed actors knew to watch out for such talent. Here comes the next Charlize Theron…well, okay, maybe the next Airbud.<br /><br />The votes are in and here are the movie stars in the making who made Lil’ Waif’s 2008 nomination list.

<br />
</hr>Inspiration comes on many levels, sometimes it comes through a wagging tail and four paws. Timmy’s Rescue, One Lil’ Waif at a Time is a story of devoted love, commitment and finding unexpected purpose. It is a true story highlighting shared experiences, often humorous and daring. This book celebrates the incredible bond dogs and humans share. Timmy’s story takes any animal lover on a remarkable journey of how he continues to influence the lives of so many. In spring of March 2002, the doors of one suburban family household opened its doors to create a safe haven for homeless puppies. Now, six years later, this book chronicles the story of Lil’ Waif Puppy Rescue and their journey into the mission of rescue.<br />
