Ending July With a Bang! -- Wednesday July 21st, 2010

2 new litters, lots of new small dogs, AND both Shelby and Baker are in their new forever homes. Of course, others have been adopted as well this month, but Shelby and Baker were our "broken" dogs early on. We did get some donations to help with their bills, and most happily, they are now in loving homes with one on one attention. Thanks to all of you that sent in money to help with Shelby and Baker. Check out the animal list to see all the new guys. The labby litter is beautiful, and each dog is identical to it's siblings. Therefore, they are all spectacular.


Broken Dogs -- Saturday June 26th, 2010

THIS MONTHS BROKEN DOGS,

We are currently fostering 2 dogs who came to us with painful, debilitating problems that their owners were either unable or unwilling to have treated.

1st: Shelby, an 8 year old Sheltie, was found wandering the streets with a painful limp. After no one claimed her from the shelter, she came to us. We had her spayed, gave her a general health check with negative blood work. That left her with one painful and expensive problem, a torn Cruciate Ligament. We have had her knee repaired and she is now recovering slowly. As you can imagine, her medical bills continue to mount beyond our current means.

2nd: Baker, a 10 year old Labrador Retriever, who, after achieving "Senior Citizen" status, was surrendered by his owners. He came to us, limping with painful, open, draining cysts that impeded his every movement. The "lumps" that are scattered over much of his body, have been biopsied, and fortunately found to be benign. He is taking medications for the pain. His xrays show no other disease, he's just old like us. Despite the care and love he was denied throughout his life, Baker is a very happy and loving dog. He has also has accumulated medical bills that stress our abilities as a nonprofit rescue organization.

Please consider supporting these "Broken Dogs" with a monetary donation toward their ongoing, loving care...we will tell them you care.

Watch for updates on Shelby and Baker!
