Miss Janet - SARC's Pretty Greeter...When She Wants to...

Introducing Miss Janet!

I named this pig after an Olympic gold medalist and you will see why. When I first saw her, back in May of this year, 2011, in the Philippines, she was swimming in the sea. I have never seen a pig swam before and it really amused me. I watched and watched until she turns behind a seawall and out of sight. She would appear again shortly when it was time for her to go home and I would watch her again. My enthusiasm about this pig swimming was felt by the people around me, so every day we anticipated her appearance in the water for her daily swim. I came back to the US and wondered about how the pig, who loves to swim, was doing.

I went back to the Philippines again in August, when my mother was sick. There was that pig again, with her daily swim. I wondered about her future…..

Who would think twice about betraying a pig? Producing only 3 litters last time after 7 (no time off) times of breeding offspring, it was time to sell this pig….. to be slaughtered.

I purchased Miss Janet from the owner so she could continue her daily swim, and so she does.

Maggie - SARC's Comedian

When Maggie is in her kennel and she thinks she should have been out already to frolic, she lets you know not just by barking but also by howling.  She howls like a wolf. At night, her howls encourage the other doggie residents to do the same, so you could just imagine the howl chorus that is going on.  It scares the caretakers and, as a matter of fact, the whole neighborhood.  Maggie loves to play with every and all of the doggies in the Center.  She is friends with all of them.  I designated Maggie the comedian or class clown because of her facial expressions.

We are looking for a kind home for Maggie.  She should be in a house with loving people, not in a kennel.  Maggie's shots are up to date.  If you are interested, send an e-mail to salamat4animals@gmail.com.

Beauty - The Nanny

Beauty is one of SALAMAT Center dogs that also loves to stay in the office like Shep.  Beauty took it upon herself to take care of the younger ones. Santina, was very young when she came to the shelter and Beauty looked after her. When the younger ones are being mischievous, she would stay next to them or follow them around and barks and barks at them until she gets them to behave. 
Beauty hates water, so giving her a bath is a big struggle.  Thank God, she does not have skin problems but maybe scabs or calluses.
She has come a long way from staying away, to staying closer to people.  She will play chase, with you chasing her.  She would stay next to me (Beth) when I am sitting on the floor but she won't let me touch her for more than 2 or 3 strokes.  Beauty gets along well with other dogs.

Shep - SARC's Canine Office Director

Shep does not care about anything but his food and where he sleeps.  If he likes you, he will approach you for a few seconds, otherwise, he just wants to be left alone, although, he is far from being anti-social either.  He is the office director only because he stays in the office all the time.  Everytime you see him, he is always on top of something, sitting or lying down.  The only time you will see him outside the office is when he has to do his business :).

Shep does not give any canine, feline, chickens and humans any problems. He is a happy camper, just by himself.

Hen & Henley

Hen and Henley have been together for a long time, approximately 3 years now at Salamat.  I read that chickens can live for 8 to 10 years and there are chickens living for as many as 20 years.
