Richmond, VA: Can anyone help FOOTS? SWEET Lab/Mastiff mix -- sad story!

This poor boy so needs a second chance -- can anyone help him? The Richmond City Shelter is great to work with and is rescue friendly! Please email me at tierbee@cox.net (@cox.net) or tierbee@aol.com (@aol.com) if you can help. Shelter website is http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/VA126.html . Transport help is available -- please crosspost! THANKS! Erin Silks/Transport Coordinator Fairfax, VA Hullo there.... my name is Foots and I've had a rough go of it lately. My long time owner recently passed and I was so distraught about it that I tried to jump thru a hole in a fence and got caught in it and gave myself a big gash in my abdomen. It's no wonder that I didn't fit as I'm a biggun' at around 80 pounds or so. That's the only reason they call me a Lab-Mastiff mix, because I'm jumbo-sized. I don't really have a jumbo personality though and actually seem pretty low-key and just major-league bummed out most of the time. I seem to be fine around any other critters I meet and am okay with you people types once I know that you are my official scratcher and buddy. I'm an older dude at around at least 8 or 9 years old and still healing up from my injury but I should be just fine. Come on down and meet me today if you are looking for a calm and loving older companion.

URGENT - Rome, GA - Collie male hit by car needs medical help !!!

Description: ID-7d-0357
Male
Euth Feb 14th


This sweet boy was hit by a car friday night and is in urgent need of medical attention. If you can help save this boy please contact the shelter immediately.
I was not able to tell what type of injuries he has as I didn't want to hurt him anymore than he already is. He is very scared.
The shelter doesn't have funding for vet care. This is his only chance.



This is a wonderful shelter and one of the cleanest I have ever been in.
Please help them out and adopt or rescue from them today.
They are very rescue friendly. Remember if you see a pet you like
contact the shelter immediately or better yet just show up before it's
too late. This shelter receives so many animals every week it is
unbelievable.
An unfortunate cause to those who don't spay or neuter their pets.

Chatsworth, GA - dog with spatial distortion needs help/home

"Faith" shortly after her rescue – See attached photos for photos taken within the last several days. IF ATTACHMENT DOES NOT COME THRU PLEASE EMAIL lisakhester@bellsouth.net (@bellsouth.net) FOR LATEST PICS !!

The Georgia Partnership for Caring is asking for your help with a truly "special needs" dog.

As many of you will remember, an urgent email went several weeks ago about an extremely emaciated dog at the Murray County Animal Shelter in Chatsworth, GA that had been abandoned and left to starve to death when the owner was taken to a nursing home.

GPA agreed to take Faith (as she was named). They discovered she has motor skill impairment, spatial distortion (i.e., does not always realize how close or far objects are) and is blind in one eye. Occasionally, she falls or bumps into walls. YET, at the same time…and this is important!!…she does not seem to be in any distress, wags her tail quite a bit, and loves attention. Everyone who has worked with her falls in love with her and thinks she is very sweet!!!

She also has begun to gain her weight back again.

GPA's volunteer veterinarian took Faith to the Georgia Veterinary Specialists Clinic for an evaluation by a neurologist veterinarian . He concluded that she has a significant brain injury, but is uncertain of its cause. He's not sure if her condition will get better, worse or stay the same.

The GPA folks believe Faith has gotten better since she first came in. She seems to walk more easily, and even has begun to climb stairs.

Because she is such a sweet and precious girl, GPA would like to find Faith an adoptive home. Clearly, the potential adopter(s) needs to have both a huge heart as well as a realistic understanding of what it will be like to care for this sweet, disabled dog for her entire life.

She can probably be placed in a home with a passive/submissive dog, but should not go into a home with a more aggressive dog, cats or small children.

Many people responded to the original plea for help for this dog, and we are now asking for your assistance .

First, please let GPA know if you are interested in adopting Faith by contacting GPA at 770 664 9123 or GPA@gpanimals.com (@gpanimals.com)

Second, financial donations for her care would be greatly appreciated. Thus far, her vet care has exceeded $1,000, which has seriously impacted GPA's limited funds that are needed to care for their other animals. (GPA is a very new organization and has yet to build a significant financial base.)

To contribute, please send your check to Georgia Partnership for Animals, 4895 Candacraig, Alpharetta, GA 30022. Write "Faith Fund" in the check memo line or in a cover note. Or, you can contribute through Pay Pal at: GPA@gpanimals.com (@gpanimals.com)

Thanks for your consideration for helping this deserving dog.
