Little Man is officially adopted    [ 07-15-2008 ] Liza Martz of New Tazewell has adopted Little man today and named him Coty which I love and suites him to a tee. She will make a good mother and owner to him. He has come along way from the baby he came to us as, so very sick and at deaths door.  Here are some before and after pictures of him.

Coty today! Handsome and as Beautiful as ever imagined !   2 and1/2 months after he came to us.

Our first day of trying to save him, His little Brother died !

2 weeks later

1 month later

Its hard to believe when we look at his pictures that he was determined to live and now is the most special dog out of all the dogs we have fostered. I love you Little Man Coty and you will always hold the most special place in my heart. Its this kind of work that makes San-Chris so special and makes us more determined than ever to help all puppies and dogs of this nature have a chance to make it and have a happy home.

 

Our friends at Claiborne Animal Shelter Pancake Breakfast  [ 07-12-2008 ] Claiborne Animal Shelter held a pancake breakfast at the New Tazewell Methodist Church and being proud members we are happy to see them have done very well with this as this puts us closer to our goal of getting the animal shelter our county so needs. San-Chris is not only members but friends of the Claiborne Shelter and volunteers with many activities that the shelter schedules as well as donated the web space and maintains the website for the Claiborne Animal Shelter. We also with encouragement to Gloria McPherson and approval  reopen San-Chris Adopt A Pet and renamed it San-Chris Foster and Adoption Organization to help take care of as many of the abandoned animals of Claiborne County we can  till the shelter is built and will still remain as a Future Foster and Adoption Organization who will work along side the Claiborne Animal Shelter.
