Harry Shivers

Hi there! This is Harry. He already has a home. Harry is here to help his four-legged friends at Pound Dog Rescue find new homes today.

This is his story...

Last year, Matt was shooting pictures of the new middle/high school in Beardstown, his wife Sarah's hometown. His sister in-law, astudent there, found him in the hallway and asked if he could bring her(forgotten) gym clothes to her at lunch. Matt agreed, finished taking pictures, and went back to his in-law's house. He grabbed the gym clothes, walked to his car, and pulled away. Not ten feet from the house, Matt felt a "thump". He looked in the rear view mirror and saw this little puppy stand up in the middle of the street...and fall down. He wrapped him up and brought him inside. When Cass County Animal Control showed up, Matt thought that was the end of the story...but he was curious. The next day, he called Animal Control to ask about the puppy. Miraculously, not only was he alive...but doing well. At least as well as one can be after being hit BY A CAR. They put Matt in touch with Lin, from Pound Dog Rescue. She told him that all the little guy had was a briused lung and some mild shock. Thankfully, Pound Dog Rescue was there to take care of him until Matt brought him home. Neddless to say, he and his wife Sarah fell in love with Harry.

Thanks to Lin, Paul, and Pound Dog Rescue, Harry's story is one of the many happy "tails"

Matt and Sarah had, for sometime, been looking to adopt a dog. Countless hours were spent on Petfinder to find the perfect puppy. But there were none quite like Harry. They have been the only prospective adopters to have run over the dog. We hope it will be the last.
