Res-Q M X

 

country pet rescue

Thursday mornings at 8:40, the WQMX Wynn and Wilson morning show welcomes GeorjetteThomas from One Of A Kind Pet Rescue.

She tells us about some special animals that need a home. It's our goal to not only find a home for our featured homeless pet, but to educate and encourage animal adoption in our area.

Although we feature mostly dogs on this site, there are many wonderful cats available at One Of A Kind Pets too. 

True to its name, One Of A Kind is truly a one of a kind place with a special mission. They not only rescue animals off the street, but they also go to "the pound" and rescue animals who are about to be euthanized. They literally save these animals from certain death.
You can visit their adoption center located at 1929 West Market Street, Akron,Ohio 44313 or online at oneofakindpets.com

Sherry

Meet our golden/Shepherd/Labrador mix breed girl ... in fact we don't know what the mix is at all! We overwhelming believe she looks like a white collie. She's just a mix of a lot of things... and a ton of cute! Something important to note is that Sherry can only be fed hypoallergenic food or she will get sick :(



Yep, I'm a good girl, but boy am I nervous. Everyone wants to comfort me but I'm just so shy. Out of the shelter environment I'd be more comfortable, but you may as well know it up front ... I'm a neglected dog that hasn't had any training and I lack a lot of confidence. I need someone who is patient and knows that good things come to those who wait. Let me come to you, it's nothing personal, I just need to build up trust with people. Please don't think of putting me in a cage for 10 hours a day because that just won't work - not for you or for me. And, please don't think of chaining me up to live outside for my lifetime because that kind of life is not in my plans. Keep in mind, I want to be a social animal like all the other dogs- and that would lead to a very lonely existence! So let's find some balls, figure out a walking route, check out a few dog parks, and begin our journey together. A life of love, friendship, and trust! My "thanks" to Olivia Mandala ... she's one terrific photographer! She made me look just as cute as I am in person :)!

Sage

Meet Sage. She is one beautiful boxer! Maybe that's why she seems to have had so many litters of puppies in her past, but that's all over for her now! Did you know that approximately 25% of all dogs and puppies in a shelter will be purebred or of a designer breed? Yep ... crazy isn't it! This is because people purchase pets and then, often, lose their commitment to be a "pet parent." This is not uncommon in higher socioeconomic situations where the larger sum of money to purchase the pet wasn't a factor and pets are viewed as disposable. Let's change this for these deserving pets. Sage is sweet and lovable; she will do great in any home. She has an energy for life and is very happy. She hasn't had any "accidents" in her cage, and goes pottie right away when taken outside. That's not to say she wouldn't have any accidents in a new environment, but she would be easily trained when dealt with patience and kindness. She has the common "wiggle butt" of boxers and loves squeaky toys!! Don't delay ... come to meet Sage today! Because she is so exceptional, she won't be here long!
