This is Zé. He came from a wonderful home where he had lived since he has a puppy. Unfortunately, his previous owners' living arrangements changed and they unselfishly felt it was in Zé's best interest to be re-homed. Zé was brought into the PPCA's rescue program in July 2006.
This is Samora, named after the small town in Portugal where she was found running loose by Jack and Temple DaSilva on a recent trip there. As you can see, she is extremely malnourished, with many calluses from sleeping on hard surfaces. She was covered in ticks and was suffering from a urinary tract infection. Through the extreme generosity of Tiago Fortuna and Nanci Perreira of Quinta do Pasto Kennels in Portugal, she is now on the road to recovery. If a suitable home is not found for Samora in Portugal, she will come to the home of theDaSilva's. Stay tuned for updates on this sweet girl's condition.
