Two of [the puppies] died; [there were originally] eight, but everybody is so overloaded.” Hanson said monetary donations are the biggest help because then they are able to apply those funds where they are most needed whether it is medical supplies, pet food, etc. However, fosters, volunteers and donations of supplies are also welcome. Donations can be made at carerescueok.org. “Because we are foster-based, that’s literally the only way we can do what we do,” Hanson said. “Without fosters, we can’t save dogs.” Eleanor has been with CARE for about a year and is still looking for her forever family as of press time. Found starving on the streets just over a year ago, her puppies have all since found homes. During our meal she was a perfect lady, snoozing in the sun near Hanson’s feet. She adored the attention from the kids and made all 65 pounds of herself comfy in my 50-pound son’s lap. She is clearly food-motivated and was responsive to Hanson’s commands and hand signals. An active family with kids, and possibly another active dog, would be ideal for Eleanor. “We find that we have the best dogs in the world, and we are like, ‘What is the deal? Why hasn’t this dog been adopted?’ And you know what? It’s because the right family hasn’t come along,” Hanson said. “So we are willing to keep them until we find that right family.” ANDOLINI’S PIZZERIA JENKS andopizza.com 500 Riverwalk Terrace Suite 100 (918) 701-3701 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Sunday - Thursday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday – Saturday Other Andolini’s pet-friendly locations: 1552 E. 15th (918) 728-6111 222 S.
