Atlanta, GA. - EXTREMELY URGENT!!!! - Need rescue for a young Deaf Dalmation

This is for a deaf Dalmation, so Dalmation rescues might work as well. This
poor dog was brought to the shelter by his owner, a young man, and signed
over.

Apparently he and his father live together, and they are fighting. The
father told his son to bring the dog to the shelter, and have him put down.
When he found out that his son just signed him over, he called the shelter
demanding that the dog be PTS. The staff said they were going to try to
find someone to take him, and the man flew into a rage saying that he wanted
that damn dog dead! It apparently scratched him, poor thing's nails are
unbelievably long. This man is coming to the shelter in the morning to sign
euthanasia papers, and stay there while the dog is put to sleep.

Needless to say, this poor baby is currently in the back of Lucy's van! We
need to get him out of here ASAP, so that if and when the shelter director
caves in to the former owner's demands (and he will) and requests this poor,
confused dog be returned for euthanasia, we will no longer have him.

Lucy is heading to Atlanta tonight, and she can take him with her if there
is anyone along the way. I know it's a long shot but hey, this board has
worked miracles before. It's worth a shot! I met this boy a little while
ago. He's SO sweet and affectionate. He's not much more than a year or so
old.

My phone # is: 504-319-2655, and Lucy's is: 504-202-3716. Try Lucy first,
and call me if you can't reach her.

Thanks,
Karen

three-legged border collie/aussie female

There is a beautiful, three-legged border collie/aussie female at the
Georgetown (Texas, just north of Austin) animal shelter. She has been there
for about 2 months after being hit by a car. The hit caused one hip to break
off (basically the equivalent of a femoral head ostectony on her right rear
leg) and the loss of her left rear leg. With all of that, she has a
beautiful, sweet disposition. And she is a lovely dog. We just need to find
her a rescue situation for foster or a permanent home that will understand
the issues she has and realize that, obviously, her rear-end will always
need special attention.

NEED HELP FOR TORTURED HUSKY!! Frankfort,KY.. Advice for Injured Husky in KY +Help Needed ASAP!!!!

Ceci Mitchell of Frankfort, KY, has helped dogs and cats out for years, and
has fostered for some of you.....and probably ended up keeping the dogs (she
has quite a few)! ...(she is one of the most compassionate people I know).
Ceci needs help and advice. A lame husky found it's way to her daughter's
home (middle of the road), and of course, daughter brought it to Ceci. (At
the same time a starving, injured cat showed up too.) This Husky is a
mess....one of her legs is just mutilated. Here is the latest report:
"Back from taking the husky to Lex to Landsdowne Vet's. Took x-rays and
are referring her to N Broadway Animal's Dr. Hume (I think is name) for
consideration. May remove pieces/parts of foot/leg - does look like old
break because of bone re-growth - many crushed bones in wrist and maybe at
elbow and top of long forearm bones (again, based on new bone
indications...). And they put her in a cast, so if I can keep it on
her - and dry - for a week, maybe her toes will have healed up by then....."
All the dog's front claws are missing; Ceci speculates she tried to claw her
way out of some place.
Ceci recently retired, is taking care of sick family members, has animal's
battling cancers with expensive treatments, and just can't do any more. Her
many kennels are full, and although her heart has lots of room left, she
needs help.
Is there a rescue who helps with this type of problem; a place where I can
work to raise funds for whatever treatment this dog might need as the dog is
cared for? She does not believe she can handle this dog's wounds,
especially if there is amputation. She is begging for help with this
girl......any ideas? Thank you.

The animals, based on what they know of this person, decides which humans may cross the bridge...and which are turned away."

IOWA - RILEY (Horse with injured pelvis) Needs a Sanctuary!

From: FarisWheelO2@aol.com (@aol.com)
To: Joycegonzalez@rainbowtel.net
Sent: Friday, April 06, 2007 10:27 PM
Subject: RILEY (Horse with injured pelvis)

Hello,
This is Christina Faris, and I was hoping you could find a rescue facility
that could take in my injured horse Riley.

I Got Riley January 2006 from a man named Bruce Dirksen. You see I have
always wanted a horse, and I was looking in the paper for a horse that was
in my price range. When I came upon his ad. I went to his ranch in Elkhorn,
NE. At the time Riley had just turned 3. He said she was Greenbroke. He
rode her around the arena saying "she may lay down on you, but you just
gotta kick her and she'll get back up." Bruce weighed at least 250 lbs. He
let me ride her, and she was really calm and gentle, but she just didn't
have that urge to go like a lot of horses, but I loved her, she seemed
perfect. He told me that her back end was flat like that because she was
young and hadn't filled out yet, he said I would just have to work with her
a lot. So I told him I could make payments and he agreed.

I thought he was just a really nice guy, because a lot of horse owners want
their money right then and there, but I realize now he accepted the payments
cause I was the only one dumb enough to be suckered into believing that
their was nothing wrong with that horse. I paid $900 for Riley it took me 3
months to work up that money because I was only 16. I started paying in
November and took her home in January. I rode that horse for about the next
6 months, but she was different from all the other horses I had ridden she
didn't want to go fast. Everybody told me it was because I wasn't pushing
her hard enough, they told me to "get mean" so I pushed her. I worked with
that horse everyday, and she showed no improvement. I hired a horse trainer,
mark lyons, because Riley had a real hard time backing up ( which Bruce
explained as she pulled a cart so she has a "fear" of backing up and running
into a cart, real smooth) Mark lyons also told me I wasn't pushing her hard
enough. he took her reins and told her to back up and gave her a push on the
chest she slowly started moving backward and he pushed her to go faster by
whipping her with the leather reins really hard on both sides of her neck.
Riley tried to move faster to get away from the pain of the reins but he
said she was "dragging her feet" so he continued to hit her until she got so
scared, and in pain that she fell over backwards, where he continued to hit
her until she got up. That was the last time that trainer ever saw Riley. If
I had any common sense I would have stopped him mid hit, but at the time I
didn't know that anything was wrong with her. I regret that so much. Over
the next few months I realized something was just not right with Riley when
I was riding her and she showed pain when she would go up hills. I took her
to a vet in Glenwood and she pushed on her back where the spine meets the
pelvis and said she had a problem and she would need X-rays, but the only
clinics that had a machine that big would be Ames, IA. I couldn't trailer
her that far at the time so I just stopped riding her. we put her on acres
of land with my uncle Pete's other horses. Where over the winter months her
condition would worsen. When the snow started to melt Riley actually got
Stuck in the mud and had to be pulled out. We brought her over to the other
side of the farm in a smaller area. I went out the next morning because I
had decided that the hay just wasn't keeping the necessary weight on her, so
I went out to give her grain. I discovered that she had either fallen or
laid down on the mud and was unable to get up. This time was worse, we tried
pulling her with the halter and pushing her but none of our attempts were
working. so we ended up pulling her out of the mud by tying her lead rope
onto the ball of a truck and Dragging her out of the mud. on the dry surface
we were able to pull her up but she was really shaky and weak. Her condition
was so bad I thought it would be best to put her down. but through the next
day her condition seemed to improve and I changed my mind about putting her
down. Over the next few days I discovered she also had blood in her urine so
I knew she needed to see a vet right away. The next day a vet named Kelly
Turner from Oakland came out and looked her over. He said that the blood in
her urine was just a bladder infection, and her hips were probably a birth
defect or an injury that she would probably live with for the rest of her
life. I asked him if she should be put down and he said no it was not that
bad. Well he gave me medicine for her bladder infection, and I am still
treating her for that infection, but I am pretty sure it is gone, she just
has a few more days of treatment left. I had scheduled a different vet to
come out before I had scheduled Turner, but they weren't able to get their
till April 4th, so I used Turner and meant to cancel them. I forgot to
cancel them, they were from Gretna. He had already drove out to Crescent to
see Riley so I figured I would get his opinion on her hips because she was
still going down with out the ability to get up. He looked at her and said
she probably broke her hip when she was real young and it healed wrong and
now she has arthritis in the joints. He told me I should send her to a kill
lot so "she can have a meaning for her life" and that she would live for
another 15 years, but it would be cruel if I kept her alive. So here I am
unable to give up on that horse, because she still seems to have a will to
live, and if she hasn't given up on herself why should I. But I can't keep
her because my Uncle Pete doesn't agree with my thinking, and wants me to
put her down, or she has to leave his land.

So I have no where to put her, and she needs medical attention. I love that
horse more than anything in this world, that is why I can't put her down
without knowing for sure there is nothing that can be done to help her. And
why I am willing to let her go to someone else to provide her with what she
really needs.

Thank you very much for your time and concern

Christina

The yellow spots are just an ointment, she got a few scraps from a fence a
few days ago when she went down.
