Chloey's Freedom Fund
Most of you have read Chloey's story on our website. If you have not, please take the time to read her story:
Chloey's Story .
Chloey's Life Before Rescue Chloey now...in rescue
We sent out a plea to help repay Chloey's angel and ultimate rescuer. Herman and Bandit, two New York resident kitties, read her story one day while their Mom had the computer on (and wasn't watching!). They knew their Mom's friend, Yvonne of Danville OH, (and Takota's mother) had told her about Chloey. They urged their mom to please help and their kind and very generous mom, Margaret S., called LRRoC and wanted to donate the funds to repay Chloey's angel. LRRoC wants to thank Herman and Bandit, and their parents, for the very kind and generous donation to give back to Chloey's angel, Marcy. When LRRoC heard the news, we immediately called Marcy to let her know and she was extremely grateful and cried at the great news. You see, Marcy had just about wiped out her entire savings for her own 2 dogs that both needed orthopedic surgeries, yet she still managed to come up with the funds to bail out Chloey from her previous life! Here is what Marcy had to say to LRRoC, in a recent e-mail after she heard the news:
"It was so nice to talk to you and hear how well Chloey is doing. You can’t imagine how happy it makes me to know that you are fostering her. I can’t thank you enough for your kind words in her bio and receiving this money, but as you know it was never about the money."
Here are Bandit and Herman, lounging at their home in New York!

American Pet Idol Winner.....
College Hill Pet Clinic
2008 American Pet Idol Photo Sweeps....
and the Winner of the Top Spot- 2nd year in a row.....
King Guinness Braley
King Guinness is one of LRRoC's top Labassadors. Since his adoption by Mike & Susan Braley, he has served his homeless siblings well. He is a beautiful Labradorable who had an extremely rough life before being picked up as a stray and finding his way to LRRoC by way of friends of rescue. His subsequent adoption by the Braley family has kept him an active member of the Labrador Society and now has been tapped King of LRRoC. He was awarded a $100 cash prize as the First Place Winner of the American Pet Idol Contest by his medical staff at College Hill Pet Clinic. He then graciously donated the winnings to keeping his homeless brothers and sisters of LRRoC fed, clothed and with medical care. Guinness is a regular on the LRRoC site as he loves to be photographed and keep humans informed of how much fun it is to have a Labrador life! LRRoC thanks Guinness for his generosity!

$300 REWARD TO BRING TAKOTA HOME!
Hi folks!
Takota is a 3-4 yr old purebred Black Labrador adopted by the wonderful folks, Yvonne & Ian Martin, who own the White Oak Inn, Danville OH.
He may still be wearing a choker chain collar with a leash hanging from it..... or, it may have come off. He is not wearing any identification. However, he does
have a 24 PetWatch microchip implanted. Takota is orginally from the Union County Humane Society in Marysville, OH. He was brought to our rescue. Labrador Retriever Rescue of Cincinnati, Inc. and then has since been adopted by the Martins. There is a $300 reward for finding Takota. He is very much loved and his parents are absolutely sick about him being missing.
Here is what happened in a note from his owners:
On Monday night I was walking him and a deer leapt in front of us. He surged forward after it and I couldn't hold him. He pulled the leash out of my hand and was off into the woods after that deer in a flash. And obviously we haven't seen him since.
We are just devastated. We are doing everything we can to find him, but it's a heavily wooded and hilly area and he could be just about anywhere. Given his past I'm hoping he's just roaming around exploring and enjoying his freedom. The alternatives are too horrible to contemplate. I've roamed the hills and woods for hours calling him and I've driven miles on the backroads. We've put an ad in the paper, distributed flyers and phoned and alerted everyone we can think of.
At least this time he's microchipped so if he does get picked up by a shelter they'll be able to contact us. So now all we can do is wait and pray. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news.
