Rescue Dogs Are The Best
Back in 1992, I rescued a 20-lb. puppy with a broken leg off the streets of New York City and named him Moses. He quickly grew into my 120-lb. fur baby, and we shared a 400 square foot apartment on E. 25th Street for 10 years. Moses was the reason I started rescuing other dogs, eventually became a dog trainer, and managed a doggie daycare and boarding facility in Manhattan. And that was all before my career in real estate!
If you’ve seen my social posts on Facebook and Instagram promoting Zeus’ Rescues, you know that rescuing dogs is one of my passions. I’ve taken in and loved many of my own rescues over the years, from Moses the Rhodesian Ridgeback to Doody, Lupe, Jesse, and Winnie (all Chihuahuas), and Star the Beagle.
Scrim stole my heart – just like he probably stole yours. And like many Scrim-obsessed rescue lovers, I spent a good bit of time driving around and trying to track him down the last few months. I would even check the Scrim tracker legend and take that route home each day, in the hopes of spotting him. I’m thrilled that he’s finally back with Michelle Cheramie, getting the care and patience he needs to thrive. And I’m so excited to be riding on the Muses’ Scrim-themed float this Mardi Gras!
Dog Training is the Key to Successful Adoption
What I’ve learned is that the key to a successful rescue adoption is to do everything we can to help our furry friends get comfortable and socialized in their new home. That’s why dog training is so important — because we all want our new best friends to be well-mannered and happy. I’m here to help everyone – including so many deserving dogs — find their forever homes.
Why I Love Zeus’ Rescues
Michelle Cheramie, owner of Zeus’ Place and founder of Zeus’ Rescues, says, “There is no better feeling than taking a dog from a bad situation and giving it a great home with a loving family.” And I think Michelle and her crew are doing an amazing job. With a privately funded, no-kill shelter on Napoleon Avenue, their mission is to eradicate pet homelessness and euthanasia in the New Orleans metro area. An all-volunteer group, they find forever homes for animals that are pulled from high kill metro shelters.
