Adopt Dr Joyce Brothers a Dog at Stray Rescue

Is there a Doctor in the house?  As a matter of fact, there is!   

Hi everyone, my name is Dr. Joyce Brothers, also known as JOY to those who know and love me.  That’s because I am pure Joy…the happiest girl in the world.  

I am somewhat of a celebrity at Stray Rescue.  I have charmed the socks off of all their volunteers.  They spoil me rotten, but what I would really love is a chance at a forever home because I have been living at SR for quite a while.

Some things I love are car rides, playing Frisbee (see my link, I am an expert) having lunch at an outdoor café, milkshakes at Crown Candy Kitchen, kids, walks in the park, and hiking in the woods.  I am a very experienced hiker.  

Lately I have been lucky enough to spend a day or two each week with a volunteer at his office.  I am an official mascot of a company!   I attend meetings and hang out with the gang during lunch.  I am constantly honing my training skills too.  I can sit, wait, give my paw, and my leash walking skills are just about perfect.   

Don’t I sound like the perfect dog for you?  I promise to be your best and most loyal friend.  Check out my video below and then call Stray Rescue of St Louis at their 2320 Pine Street animal shelter 314-771-6121 and find out more about me.

Stray Rescue is a pawsome organization and their animal shelter is barking good, but I really need a forever home!

Stray Rescue's sole purpose is to rescue stray animals in need of medical attention, restore them to health, and place them in loving adoptive homes. Virtually all of the pets we save have been abused and neglected. They've been dumped on highways, or remote country roads. Abandoned in public parks, empty houses and dark alleys. We've even saved dogs left chained behind buildings after their owners had moved away.

Rescued animals often make the best pets. As a no-kill organization, pets from Stray Rescue seem to understand that they have a second lease on life. In return for a little affection and attention, these remarkable animals reward their new owners with a love and loyalty unmatched anywhere.

Joplin Tornado Survivor: Family Searching for White Bulldog Hanah

Photo: Bring Hanah Home

I've written about Hanah in a previous post about pets and the Joplin tornado.   Hanah is still missing and her family is desperate to get her back.  Thanks to a photo taken after the twister and another siting, they know that Hannah survived the tornado.  Unfortunately, if Hannah returns to her home, there's nothing there.

Please take a look at this slide show about Hannah and pass it along via Facebook, Twitter and any other way you can share it.  Hannah may very well have been picked up by well meaning animal rescuers and now could be just about anywhere in the United States.  Pets who have been rescued from the storm will begin to be adopted out this weekend.

Hanah is 5 years old and weighed 110 pounds before the tornado.  She's an American Bulldog and a spayed female.  Hanah is white and has one blue eye and one hazel brown eye. 


Hanah has been seen twice since the tornado his Joplin on May 22.  Once on E 26th Street in Duquene.  Hanah lived on 27th Street.  The post-tornado photo in the slide show was taken in Duquense.  The people who live at that location have livestock.  Hanah was carried to the side of the house.  When the sirens went off in JHoplin the second night after the tornado, Hanah ran into some bushes.  Neighbors at a house two doors down spotted her in the yard later.


So far, Hanah has not been spotted at the Joplin Humane Society animal shelter.  There is a reward for her return - no questions asked.  If you see Hanah - at a local shelter or on a venue like Facebook - contact her owner, Kari Wilkes at 1-417-529-8088.  If you see Hanah in the Joplin area, please do NOT approach her.  Call that phone number to report the siting and someone will come asap.

You can read more about Hanah, her family, and the massive effort that has been launched to find her at Bring Hanah Home.
