The Rescue Round-Up
By Diana Tuorto
Horse Rescue United
Amos is a 3-year-old, 15.2 hand bay standardbred gelding who is very sweet and friendly. Always first to welcome visitors and easy to work with, Amos is well-suited for an intermediate trail/pleasure rider. He was in harness training, but never raced. Due to inoperable OCD (Osteochondrosis), he shouldn’t jump other than an occasional small fence. Amos currently lives outside 24/7 with a shed and gets along well with other horses.
Baby Cookie is a 9-year-old 15.3 hand bay standardbred mare who is very athletic, super sweet and well-mannered on the ground.
She can be nervous and silly under saddle, but once she settles, Baby is truly a dream horse for an experienced/advanced rider. She would work well for just about any discipline. A 100 percent sound retired trotter, Baby gets along very well with other horses and ponies. She lives outside 24/7 with a shed currently.

Eleventh Hour Rescue
Gloria Judd is a sweet and friendly 2-year-old pit bull mix who is looking for someone to share her life with. She is very affectionate and wags her tail and whole body when she sees you. Gloria is housebroken and wonderful in the house. She loves to play yet she can also be a couch potato as well. Gloria loves everyone she meets and deserves a home where someone will love her back. Her foster home says she prefers to sleep on the bed with you at night, so you may want a king sized bed if you adopt this beautiful girl.
When an Eleventh Hour volunteer visited a high-kill shelter to see what dogs could be pulled and saved from being euthanized, Norman stood out. The volunteer added, “He was in death’s waiting room. Half hairless, emaciated, deaf, with an anal tumor, he could barely walk, and was tested as heartworm positive which if left untreated, is deadly. There is a still lot of vetting to follow up with but he needs to gain strength and body mass first before expensive surgeries and heartworm treatment can be performed. I found him lying in his own urine, barely moving when I took him home to be his foster mom. Just a few short weeks later, he is my constant sidekick here at home.”
Norman continues to show great progress and he is gaining strength every day. He has a kind and gentle soul and that loving look in his eyes says everything you need to know about him. The next phase of his medical treatments will begin soon.
