Rio Grande New Mexico Blind Dogs in NM

Hi,
I am with the Rio Grande Animal Humane Association in NM and I wrote a
few weeks age about two of our blind dogs that need a home. They are
still looking for a home. I will be retiring and moving out of state in
September so the rescue will be closing.
Shasta and Sammy's photos can be seen on www.rgaha.petfinder.org.
Thanks.Maureen

Injured Shepherd mix needs help!

GSD needs Medical Help ASAP! March 28 2007 at 10:56 PM
Available for a limited time at the Paulding County Shelter. One male mix breed, medium size brown, was left with a rope tied to his neck at the front door out of the pound. He is a sweet dog and has some major wound on his neck area and beside the snout. It appears he was attacked by another animal. These wounds are old and there is massive infection. The pound is keeping him as comfortable as they can. We have him on pain meds and antibiotics. I dont think the antibiotics is going to help much - I think the wounds may need opened and drained. This is just a guess. The DW knows I am working on rescue for him. He will not get adopted locally. Can anyone help him? Pull fee is $25 and no vetting is done. I can get him to a vet and can transport one hour in any direction. Pull fee has been offe red to rescue that takes him Any takers? Lynne Call: 419- 258-1442 Permission to cross post please!!  This guy is hurting and needs help!!

Chemical From Plastic Found In Pet Food
PETA Calls For Expanded Recall

UPDATED: 2:03 pm EDT March 30, 2007

RICHMOND, Va. - Government testing of recalled pet food linked to
dog and cat deaths has found a chemical used to make plastics.

The Food and Drug Administration said it found melamine in samples
of the Menu Foods pet food, as well as in wheat gluten used as an
ingredient.

Cornell University scientists also have found the chemical, also
used as a fertilizer, in the urine and kidney of a sick cat.

Earlier results from a lab in New York had blamed a rodent poison
and cancer drug called aminopterin for the deaths.

PETA Wants Bigger Recall

Meanwhile, some animal rights advocates say a pet-food recall does
not go far enough.

The group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals called on the
government and pet food makers to expand the recall to include dry
varieties, too.

Nearly 100 brands of pet food were recalled after animals suffered
kidney failure. The recall involved "cuts and gravy" style dog and
cat food. Some major brands, including Iams, Nutro and Eukanuba,
were involved.

The Food and Drug Administration said it has no plans to suggest a
wider recall and veterinarians said they've seen no trend of dogs
and cats getting sick from eating dry food.

This little boy is so lucky to be alive!  He has suffered tremendously after being attacked by a Chow.   His name is "Trouper" and he's only a year old.

 

His entire hind area was ripped wide open, and he has many, many sutures around and under the base of his tail.  Can you IMAGINE THE PAIN and the terror he has suffered?

 

He is slowly recovering, and is being cared for at the St Martin Parish Animal Control facility in Martinville, Louisiana. 

 

The problem?  This is an Animal Control facility- they have NO FUNDS to cover Trouper's  $300 vet bill!!  To make matters worse, this little boy is heart worm positive!!  So, even more funds are needed to save his life!

 

PLEASE, won't you send a donation to help this boy?  He is homeless!!  He has nobody!  He's been through so much already- if we can all send in whatever we can to help- it will add up!

 

NO AMOUNT IS TOO SMALL - everything will help!!

 

Thank you all so much for caring!  Together- we can make his life worth living!

 

Animal Control does not have a pay pal account, so donations should be sent to the St. Martin Humane Society.

 

Please go to: http://www.stmartinhumane.org/ , and click on the DONATE button.  Ear mark donations for "Troupers Vet Bills" please. 

They will make sure it goes right to Animal Control!

COLS, OH: 10 year old, blind American Brittany Spaniel Mix DESPERATELY needing a Home!

Dear Companion Pet Lovers ~

 

Mary Herbeck has an immediate need to place this handsome guy ASAP (please read her heartfelt story below).   If you or someone you know would prove to be a good fit for Tuffie, please contact Mary at 614-564-3378 or mherbeck@checkfree.com.

Thanks for your kind consideration.

Blind dog in desparate need:

Tuffie, a 10 year old blind american  brittany spaniel mix, is in desparate need of help.  I have taken him in as a foster after the nursing home he was living in threatened to put him to sleep.  Unfortunately, he is not doing well here and we need to find him a home with no other dogs.  Here is his history - can you please help him?

Abandoned by his owner at a shelter when he was 7 years old and just going blind, he was not doing well with the other dogs at the shelter.  He is an aggressive alpha dog around other animals and after a few months at the shelter was sent to a foster home.  I don't know what happened in that home, but he was there for 10 months before being adopted to a nursing home as a companion for the residents.  He was at the nursing home for 3 months when they threatened to put him to sleep because he was bumping into residents due to his blindness and tripping them.  His original rescue refused to take him back.  At that point I was told that he was a loving calm dog who was 7 years old and had been living in a permanent home.  

 

Given that info, I thought he would fit in well here and agreed to take him in as a foster.  From that point, he was in 4 different temporary homes in one week before coming to me.   Arriving here he was completely terrified and very aggressive with  my dogs.  I kept him separated from my dogs while trying to get him calm and situated.  He was more like a shelter dog when I got him.  I took him to my vet and found that he was 10 and not 7, that he was allergic to the eye drops he had been getting for months, he had infections in both eyes, is at least 20 pounds overweight, arthritic, and in need of constant drops.  

 

Now that he has stabilized, he looks a lot better and is feeling healthier. Once he was comfortable with me and my husband, re-introduced him to our larger dog outside in a neutral environment. He snapped at him but seemed to settle down.  Later, he got too close again and went after our larger dog.  My husband tried to separate them and Tuffie bit my husband really badly.  He is not a dog that can be around other dogs, and cannot be around our small Pomeranian as he could kill her accidntally.   He is very loving and sweet with people though and wants to be with you constantly.  He LOVES to walk and with the combination of diet food and no more people food, he should be much healthier quickly.  Due to his blindness, he has separation anxiety when you leave him - this is making his current environment detrimental to him as we have to keep him separate from our living environment with our dogs.

Can someone please foster this dog?  He deserves better than the life he has been given.  Based on his aggressiveness in our house, he will need to be moved to another home ASAP.   If we are unable to relocate him to a safer place by April 30, we will have to place him with our local shelter. 

 

Please, can you assist us in this effort?  Tuffie deserves much better than what we are able to offer as foster parents...

Shreveport LA: 2 mini schnauzer seniors.. one deaf and blind dumped by their family need out of shelter

Please cross post

It says these to are heartworm positive but they think it should read
heartworm negative. The shelter manager is not there for them to verify.

My name is Jeri Holloway, Shreveport, La., 318-869-2157. I work with local
rescue groups and the pound, a kill shelter, to find places of safe haven
for purebreds at risk of having to be destroyed.

These two miniature schnauzers have been at the pound since Feb. Several
places I wrote then replied back, oh these aren't minis; write the standard
folks; the standards did the same, these aren't standards. (after photos
were sent) I knew they were minis and I finally have measurements and
weights. I pray you will be able to help them.

Tish is a white mini schnauzer, heartworm positive, housebroken, blind,
deaf, and sweet as all get out, around 13 years old. Their coats are clipped
and clean. She is 12 1/2 inches tall and weighs 13 lbs.

Precious is black, heartworm positive, housebroken, 10 years old. She stands
14 inches tall and weighs a chunky 17 lbs. She is so friendly and loving.

Both were brought in by owners; one because they got a new dog, so out with
the old. The other because the dog was just too old to keep any longer.

They are now caged together and get along just great. But they are still
wonderful little dogs that deserve to live out their lives with schnauzer
folks who will love and adore them. When I took the new photos yesterday,
they trotted down the hallways just big as you please. Tish is very mellow,
she doesn't jump with fear due to her blindness and deafness. They are
absolutely adorable.

There is a person in Shreveport who is willing to pay their travel expenses
to send them to wherever we can find for them to settle in.

The kennel manager at Caddo Animal Services, Shreveport, where they are, is
Annette Lewis, 318-226-6624. If you need additional information call her and
if she is not there, ask for Avery. (Annette's son was in a tragic auto
crash and she has been spending most of her time at the hospital since last
week, he is in critical condition.) That is why you may not be able to reach
her, thus Avery should be able to help you. If you call, please tell them
that Jeri sent you the photos of the dogs and contacted you.

If you are unable to help these two babies, could you refer me to anyone
else who might?

I pray you can help them, especially since they have been at the pound so
long now. When I first met them in Feb. and took photos, Precious was quiet
then after I began petting her, she began wagging her little tail and
rubbing her head in my chest. This is so hard for little dogs that have been
in homes all their lives to suddenly be in a pound in a cage with so many
strange smells and noises.

Will send photos too. Copy to Houston also.

Amsterdam NY-DLH Black Cat had to have leg amputated

Please Crosspost!! Poor Cat needs a second chance!!
My name is PHILLY. I am a very special kitten. I am a female, just about one
year old. I'm long haired, all black and very loving. When I was brought to
the shelter I had something tied so tight around my front leg that it had to
be amputated. The vet did an excellent job with the surgery and once the
hair
grows back you will never be able to tell that I wasn't born this way. I am
getting around very well and other wise I am in perfect health. I have
already been spayed and vaccinated. Won't you be that special person to give
me a
wonderful life? I need a second chance.. please show me NOT all humans are
rotten!!

Offer:2 pit puppies, 1 deaf,

Hello everyone. I have been doing pit bull rescue for a little over a
year now, and due to some major issues with my personal situation, I
can't continue to foster or do rescue right now.

I have 2 pit bull puppies looking for GOOD homes. Vet check and home
visit will be required! Both dogs are fully vetted and ready to go.

Red is about 6 months old, maybe a little younger, and is a petite
little guy. He loves people and kids, and thus far dogs. He has a
high prey drive, though, so I would be wary with cats. He will stay
in his crate, but he hates it. He is mostly housebroken, and knows
some manners. He needs to be kept occupied, but will make a great dog
for an active family.

Beethoven is 6 months old and is deaf, but that doesn't slow him down
any. He has THE BEST temperament ever, and loves everyone and
everything. He adores kids, but since he's so big, they don't like it
when they get knocked over by him. He is learning hand signals, is
crate trained, and walks well on a leash. He does pretty good on
pottying outside, but he is not left loose in the house for long
periods of time.

I am asking $75 adoption fees to try to recoup some of the money I
have into their vet care. I can be reached at
nicolejmilligan@yahoo.com You can also e-mail me for pics.
