Nola, greyhound/beagle mix, is her rescue's PET OF THE MONTH this month! She is available for adoption to a very special home. Despite her missing leg, she has no special needs -- she is very capable -- and would do best with older children. She is spayed, housebroken, UTD on her shots, and good w/other dogs but does not do well with cats. (http://www.petf.....70?recno=3)
Her story: Nola was running loose because her previous owner thought leashes were cruel. She was hit by a car, dragged several feet, and had so much damage to her left front leg that it had to be amputated and her right front leg was broken and was in a cast for months.

Nola is a beautiful dog! Check out her pictures, east coasters.
I'm surprised she doesn't do well with cats. Does she just pester them too much (she looks like a certain tripawd I know who was cat-obsessed and it took me a few months to figure out it was true love and not a killer instinct) or is she more serious in her dislike of them?
Very pretty.
Comet - 1999 to 2011
She departed us unexpectedly January 23, 2011 at the age of 12 1/2.
She was born with a deformed front leg and a tripawd all of her life.
Will the adopter need to have a bean bag chair for her, or will it come with her? 
Heh heh… that reminds me of a dog I once babysat who used to mount the bean bag chair in their living room. He'd hump it all across the floor for like 5-10 minutes if I just left him to it.
Nola though is clearly a lady, who knows they are for napping on… not for… you know.
Gerry has been a tripawd since 12/16/2009.
He was a shelter dog with a mysterious past and an irrepairable knee injury.

Is that your response to us making you work so hard for your living? And where the heck did you get that disgusting pic?
