Brookline would like to
thank Pedigree® food for
dogs, a brand of Mars for a
donation of $1740.80
through the Pedigree
Adoption Drive foundation.
The Pedigree Adoption
Drive Foundation is used
to help shine the spotlight
on the plight of homeless
dogs. Through no fault of
their own, more than four
million dogs end up in
shelters and breed
rescues every year. Sadly,
nearly half of those
canines never find a place
to call home, a trend that
the Pedigree Adoption
Drive Foundation hopes to
help reverse. The
volunteers of Brookline
share the foundation’s
concern for homeless
dogs and look forward to
making use of this grant in
the continuing challenges
and rewards of this
endeavor to rescue one
until there is none. Special
thanks to volunteer Gwen
for her successful grant
writing efforts.

Hi Sparky,
I have a 5 year old lab. She
is very hyper but the main
problem is constant
barking. She barks for
absolutely everything
although she is very loved.
Is there any advice you can
shed on how to deal with
this? No matter how much
exercise or treats or
anything we do, she still
barks constantly.
Please help,
April

REILLY
How about a life with
Reilly? This 6 year old will
make you a great friend.
He has a mix of boxer but
don't expect to spar with
this guy; he's Mr. Mellow.
Gets along with dogs,
cats, kids as well as
adults. He's house trained
and knows what he can
play with and what to leave
alone. Want to go for a
ride? He's there! Reilly
does have diabetes and
with your help handles it
with medication. He knows
the routine and is quite
comfortable with getting
shots. Recently he has
developed cataracts in
both eyes. As a result he
sees very little. With
surgery it's estimated he
could get 85% of his vision
back. Maybe you could see
a way of sharing your
home with this sure-to-be
companion. Click here for

Rain was rescued from a shelter where she
came in as a stray. A nice family adopted her
but a few days later she broke her leg. They
could not afford the surgery she desperately
needed, so she was put in a splint and returned
to the shelter. Since Brookline has rescued her
she has been to the hospital every week for
checkups and bandage changes, sometimes
came in as a stray. A nice family adopted her

she has been to the hospital every week for

had her splint for two months and is on many restrictions. Currently she is
dealing with a sore pad and still has her leg wrapped. She is a wonderful
girl who just needed some TLC and great Veterinarian care. She will be up
for adoption in about one month.
