​From his foster:  I picked up Charlie on Sunday and I can say it did not take any time at all for him to fit right in. It is like he has been a part of our family all along! He became besties with our beagle right away and he is truly a sweetheart and not a mean bone in his body. Total drooler and follows me everywhere. I think I am falling in love.
 . I do not think Charlie has a mean bone in his body. Lol. He was shaking at the vet. He did not want to get out of the car when we got there. It was the first car ride he has had since I picked him up and think that he thought he was getting booted again. I will say he was so happy when he got back to the house, doing spins, so were the other dogs. 🤣. He is not nervous at home at all. Even when we leave for the day because he is with the other dogs. The first couple days he was here he flinched a couple times around my husband, like he was going to get hit. He doesn’t do it anymore around him as he trusts him now.I couldn’t even get mad when he chewed the window sill. Lol. I think if I start taking him for more pleasure rides he may calm down some. Will let you know. 

​Through the 4th of July holiday our volunteers in the panhandle Becky, Fran and Diane gave their ALL to save a mastiff's life.  
A good Samaritan contacted Diane stating, "3 days ago he had dog food. I don’t believe they have fed him since then, I’ve been giving water and will go refill his food. Here are a couple pics of the dog. " Becky called the good Samaritan that was feeding the dog and found out that he is very sweet, loves children, and when the family was together, he loved swimming with the children in the pond. The family has split and a divorce underway, so they put the dog outside to live alone in an outdoor pen. 
            Fran took the dog, Troy, to Tractor Supply to get a much-needed bath. Just looking at those eyes tell you he appreciated it! Fran also took Troy to the veterinarian. He is thankfully heartworm negative, 176lbs (underweight for his build), and has a yeast issue that we are treating and given a rabies vaccine.            
Currently, Troy is doing great! His foster states, “He is adjusting beautifully. He is loving the ac, being fed regularly, and the attention. I think he loves the attention most! We are on the slow path to getting back to his prime. He is the epitome of gentle giant and hasn’t react negatively to anything so far. His eyes, ears, and skin are a mess from yeast, but until I get some meat on his bones I'm using apple cider vinegar, medicated shampoo and drops for his ears and eyes. Next step is blood work and neuter. He would like me to thank everyone for their prayers  
and well wishes”.
