Worth every penny!

Sebastian was dumped in the woods in Washington in 2006. He had severe demodectic mange, torn crucite ligaments, and was severely underweight. The woman that found him put an ad on craigslist trying to find him a home. I saw the ad, and I figured someone would be moved by his plight. But one week later, the ad was reposted. I was so sad that no one had taken him that I called and offered to take him.

Despite his hideous appearance, he was so sweet, goofy, and loving -- I just knew I had to do everything I could to save him. When the enormous vet estimates came in, everyone told me I was crazy and that I should put him to sleep. But I just couldn't. A few thousand dollars later, and Sebastian is handsome and healthy. He's so loving and loyal - he never leaves my side. Our connection and bond is unbreakable now.

Signs of old age are slowly starting to emerge in him, but I know that I gave him a loving life and I have never once regretted the cost it took to save him.

Curious George Heads to Forever Home

The now famous pooch has found his forever home

At 3:30 PM on December 13, 2011, Curious George met with his new owners for the first time and made his way to his new forever home.

For the previous 10 days, Curious George spent time at Perfect Pooch in King of Prussia learning training and behavior skills to prepare for life with his new family.

George and his family took part in their first “family” training session prior to bringing George home. On behalf of the Delaware County SPCA, George and his family will receive unlimited training sessions at Perfect Pooch until he reaches an adequate level of training.

George will also depart the training center with a goodbye toy one of his “fans” made for him and a $100 gift card. On Oct. 31 the pit bull mix was found on the side of a road in Delaware County malnourished and weighing just 35 pounds (see Curious George).

A Good Samaritan discovered George and brought him to the Delaware County SPCA. George’s adoption was made final on Dec. 3 after 5 weeks of rehabilitation.
