Joe Brown, Lockheed Martin engineer, and his wife Laura were biking on the Silver Comet Trail one Saturday and found a little puppy sleeping in the middle of the road all by herself. The animal lovers could not pass by & leave her there so they picked her up & took her home. She had no collar nor ID. They considered long & hard about keeping her, but with their busy schedules and frequent travel, decided it was best to find her another home. Joe contacted his Lockheed Martin co-worker, Teri Mobley (Homeless Pet volunteer) and begged for her help. Teri convinced HPF to take the puppy (Ginger) into the program. 3 days later, the puppy went to her first adoption event at Harry’s Farmer’s Market where she was spotted by a great family that just knew she’d be right for them. They adopted her on the spot! The dad convinced the rest of the family that this puppy was for them. As fate would have it, the dad, Patrick Swagerty, is also an engineer at Lockheed Martin! Now, Patrick keeps in touch with Joe & Teri; giving them updates on how Ginger (now Renny) is getting along. She fit right in with the Swagerty’s and their Australian Shepherd. This is a story with a very happy ending for 3 Lockheed Martin employees.

I adopted Felix, who is now named Tigger, from you. He was heartworm positive also. You provided all of his medicines and vet care and he is healthy and very well loved! Thank you for all you do for animals. -Carolyn Sussman
My baby Marlowe(one of Molly’s puppies) just turned one on 7/2/14! She’s grown quite a bit since the tiny puppy we adopted last year! She has been an amazing addition to our family and we love her so much! -Jen McKinney
The Shankwiler family stopped by Petsmart when we were there with adoptable dogs and noticed Buford (tan shepherd). They were impressed with his calm demeanor and even though they weren’t in the market for a new dog, thought he might make a good friend for their dog Bella who has some anxiety issues. Bella met…
