With Garza's loving care, Sky reached the point where the pastor and his wife could take Sky out on walks. They adopted her. I never imagined that she would walk out on a leash," Garza said. "It's like she's never been homeless at all. It was a complete miracle. "(Rosie) takes on the hardest cases. It doesn't matter if the dog has crushed legs, whatever. She puts the animals first in all situations. She gets along with pets better than people," he said, laughing. "It drives her nuts when she sees somebody do something stupid...
RIVERHEAD, N.Y. - A judge who lamented he could not legally impose a stiffer sentence gave the maximum two-year jail term Wednesday to a woman who abused her seven children and tortured and killed dozens of family pets, sometimes in the presence of the children, burying animal carcasses in her suburban Long Island backyard.

That was the day Jill Deegan, Botetourt's assistant commonwealth's attorney, decided something had to be done to protect and help those animals who have been victims of abuse. Deegan poured her heart into making sure the puppies, affectionately named Frost and Scout, got the medical attention they needed, as well as the love and attention they had not received from their previous owners.

Marilyn Goodreau carried a cardboard box into the dining room and began piling photographs of animals on the table. There were hundreds of them - before-and-after shots of horses, dogs, ponies, foxes. These are the rescued, the saved. In her 30 years as the director of the Maine State Society for the Protection of Animals in Windham, Goodreau personally has overseen - and sometimes been the cause of - the rescue of thousands of abused and neglected animals, mostly horses.
