Ted, Nora Jane, the Dog of the Day
Name: Ted, Nora Jane
Age: Six, Five years old
Gender: Female, Male Breed: Dog
Home: Fayetteville, Arkansas, USA
 
   Ted is probably a Great Pyrenees Mix and Nora Jane is probably a Shih-Tzu Poodle mix, but we'll never know for sure. Both pets are animals rescued after they were dumped. Ted was brought in malnourished and with large, infected skin lesions making him hard to place. Who knew he would be so beautiful once his skin was cleared up and his hair began to grow out? Nora Jane was dumped in a very rural area in the middle of the winter. She was pregnant, had parasites and since she was dumped outside the city limits, the Fayetteville Animal Shelter did not have room for her. She was placed for euthanasia, but a Humane Society of the Ozarks volunteer fostered her until we heard about her and adopted her. She is the smartest dog we have ever seen. Her repertoire of tricks is endless. Both dogs are great examples of what you get when you rescue a dumped animal. These dogs are inseparable. They love to run and play. Nora often curls up in Ted's fur and they sleep together. They are our treasure.
