Bucyrus, Ohio - Small blind Senior needs a rescue by 9/4 at 5:00 p.m.

 Permission to Cross-post!

 Annie was left here with no information. She is a senior girl with cataracts on  both eyes. She is very gentle, and likes to be held.  Have no idea of the breed, as she seems to be a real combination.  Probably about 10 lbs.

 I need to find a rescue by 9/4/07, 5:00 p.m.

 I will be checking email all weekend, so please let me know if you can help.

PLEASE CROSSPOST

Hello All,

The other paralyzed dachie, Mattie, found a rescue, now we have Parker
that needs a place to go. Carolyn called me this morning, and Parker is
still in need. I'm sending this to a number of groups and people in
case someone knows someone that can assist.

He is estimated to be 4 years old/ 12 pounds/ red/ smooth/ unaltered.

This is a small rural clinic without the resources for a mylogram or
neurosurgical evaluation. They did an x-ray which showed trauma in L5-6
and L6-7. He showed no deep pain sensation and is incontinent. He has
had Dexamethasone injections, August 10th-16th, and has showed no signs
of pain at all. They are sling-walking him, and he is happy and
friendly.

The contact is Carolyn, Saxony Animal Clinic, Sarver PA 16055,
Doctor356@aol.com
Phone is 724-352-4250. This is about an hour north of me and I'd help
with transport, even for this Holiday weekend, if necessary.

Gaston County NC, Brain damaged dog Daphne needs a special home

CONTACT PERSON:  JPDavis@jmdlaw.com

 

 

"SPECIAL NEEDS" LAB "DAPHNE" INFORMATION:
 
Please read the message below and forward to any contacts you have that might be appropriate placements for what has turned out to be a "special needs" pet.  "Daphne" was hit by a bus and left for dead in the middle of the road in Gaston County in October, 2006.   A kind woman stopped and rescued Daphne, whose leg was broken so bad it almost had to be amputated.  A wonderful adoptive family took her in and spent much time and money helping to rehabilitate Daphne physically, but there has been some brain damage from the accident, and they feel Daphne needs a different environment to truly be able to live out her life happily.  Please read the message below, and if you can help, contact JPDavis@jmdlaw.com

 

 



I adopted a little black lab with a broken leg, who we named Daphne (see above), back in November of 2006. As much as it pains me to do so, I'm writing now to ask for your help in finding a new home for Daphne.
 
What no one knew when we adopted Daphne, or could have known, is that she suffered significant brain damage when she was struck by a car last October. We have since realized that much of her gentle behavior during the time she was with the person who rescued her was probably due to the intense pain she was under from her broken leg. We saw indications of her problems while she was healing, but ascribed it all to her being caged constantly. Unfortunately, we have come to realize that this wasn't entirely the case. We tried to train her with some of the best trainers in Charlotte, but with poor results. Ultimately, we took her to a neurologist who confirmed that her problems are physiological in nature and unlikely to be cured. Because of her special problems, Daphne needs a very special home that can take good care of her.
 
The perfect home for Daphne would be someone who lives in a rural area, who is athletic and capable of wearing her out, and who can put in some serious training time on a daily basis. She is very affectionate and craves human contact, but has difficulty figuring out what "appropriate" is. She is spayed and in great health, weighs about 45 lbs and is two years old (we think). Anyone who takes her needs to be aware that she is "special needs" and be prepared to deal with it, which is one reason we are asking for your help in looking for a new home.
 
Daphne's brain damage has two major effects (and many bizarre and interesting minor ones): First, she gets agitated very easily by any kind of stimulus (from loud noises to human presence), and when she does, she obsessively spins in circles. These spins can vary from large loops around the yard to incredibly tight circles and wild barking when she gets extremely excited. Second, and far more problematic, she is essentially untrainable. She knows how to sit, but we believe she may have learned this before the accident. Beyond that, she can only learn any kind of behavior with an extraordinary amount of effort, and anything learned is quickly forgotten, whether in hours, or days, regardless of how well she is reinforced. She simply can't retain anything. This is especially problematic because Daphne has a very strong impulse to play-bite. While we've managed to lower the frequency of these bites, we have been unable to get rid of them entirely, and you can never be sure when she'll do it. For that reason, she would not be good with children.
 
Daphne is a sweet and loving dog, but her inability to learn coupled with her high excitability makes her very difficult to handle. That said, I believe she can be trained to behave herself, and possibly even beyond-- at one point she learned to heel for nearly a week-- but it will take alot of attention and patience, and acceptance of the fact that one day she may wake up and everything's she's learned will just be gone and need to be relearned from scratch. Also, we have taken her to the mountains on several occasions, and she gets along much better in that environment. One of the reasons we have decided to give her away is because we believe the city (suburbs) is just too high-anxiety for her.  In a rural, low-distraction environment with alot of attention, I believe she could be a very good dog.
 
Please let me know if you know of anywhere we can look to find a place for Daphne. What she really needs is someone who has experience in dealing with brain-damage in an animal, and we simply don't know where to begin to look. Both doctors and trainers have suggested putting her down because of the difficulty in dealing with her, but we are convinced that she could be very happy in the right environment. We will keep her and care for her until we can find another home, because we love her very much, but I think she would be much better off away from the city and with owners who can devote substantially more time to her than we can.  J.P.

Impound 896658, 3 months female pup

 

Poor little girl is shy,  sad and scared.  Who can blame her??

She was scared to look at me and turned her face towards the back of her cage and then timidly looked over her shoulder at me.  She warmed up and became sweet when I pet her.

She is a stray available on August 31.  Most certainly a dead pup without a rescue lined up for her.

VA-special needs senior cat needs new home-he has only 3 legs, name is "Curtis Brown"

CONTACT: Sandra Charles sandramcharles@yahoo.com

703-477-5662

I'm hoping to find a great home for my cat. His name is Curtis Brown, he's around 8-9 years old and has 3 legs. I've had him for 7 years, and I love him a lot, but I'm moving and I can't afford to take him with me. He's very sweet, loves to cuddle, and enjoys to be petted and brushed. His favorite is being scratched behind his ear, because he can't reach that side since he's missing his back leg. He cannot live with a dog, but should be fine with another cat.

Please email me at sandramcharles@yahoo.com or call me at 703-477-5662 if you would like to meet him.

Maggie did have a rescue but it fell through and now she has no where to go
and only a few days to find a rescue or a new home. She MUST be out by
August 31st!! Maggie has become accustomed to her blindness and gets
around well. Blindness is not the tragedy for dogs that it is for humans.
She will just need some orientation to her new home, some assistance
getting in and out to potty until she learns the route and some
understanding since she has to live in a new place and it will be strange
to her. The Blind Dogs Group at Yahoo is _very _supportive and can help

Maggie is a loving dog and she gets around even though she is blind. She
was diagnosed a few years ago, and there was nothing to do for her
blindness. She is blind from PRA Progressive Retinal Atrophy, a painless
gradual blindness that is untreatable. There will be _*no *_expensive eye
vet charges -- she isn't in pain and needs no special care.

Birthdate 1/26/98 9 years old
She is up to date on her shots and spayed
She is housebroken
She is blind
She weights about 13 lbs.
She is a black and white mixed Poodle/Chihuahua (Shih tzu more likely)
She gets along with other dogs and cats

I have attached a recent photo of Maggie.

I hope you can help me with her placement.

Sincerely

I cannot see you Mommy, when you cuddle me so near.
And yet I know you love me, it's in the words I hear.
I cannot see you Daddy, when you hold me by your side
But still I know you love me when you tell me so with pride.
I cannot see to run and play out in the sun so bright
For here inside my tiny head it's always dark as night.
I cannot see the treats you give when I am extra good
But I can wag my tail in Thanks just like a good dog should.
"She cannot see. The dogs no good" is what some folks might say
"She can't be trained, she'll never learn She must be put away."
But not you, Mom and Daddy You know that it's alright
Because I love you just as much as any dog with sight.
You took me in, you gave me love and we will never part
Because I'm blind with just my eyes, I see you in my heart.*

Fremont, OH - Partially paralyzed Pom LOOKING FOR FOREVER HOME!

Partially paralyzed Pom

LOOKING FOR FOREVER HOME!

 

My name is Mandie and I am a young Pomeranian. 

The breeder told my prior owners that when I was a young puppy the first human who adopted me sat on my hind legs and left them partially paralyzed.

 

My second owners took me to the Humane Society of Sandusky County because they are moving to a new home where they can no longer keep me.

 

I would probably do really well with a cart.

 

They wrote a note about me for my new family, if I am lucky enough to find one, about my medical history and my likes and dislikes. I love fabric squeak toys and sleeping in beds. I can walk pretty good and move quicker than you might think I can, but my legs tend to drag behind me. I am housetrained and will do circles at your door to let you know when it is time. I would make a great companion for someone who is willing to work with my special needs and love me. 

 

I can't catch a Frisbee but I can give kisses!

 

S.P.A. has offered to help find me the kind of home that I deserve. This time, a FOREVER home where someone won't give me up because they are moving.

 

Please fill out an S.P.A. application at:

www.spaohio.org

if you think you'd like to make me a

permanent a member of your family.

 

You'll be adopting me from the Humane Society,

but S.P.A. wants to make sure

that it is a PERFECT FAMILY who adopts me!

He's a 7 years old neutered male, and is a brown/grey tabby with a white spot on his neck, owner says he's very big. MUST BE PLACED BY THIS WEEKEND 09/02/07! Please help! Owner can transport up to an hour from northern/central Vermont, further transport can possibly be arranged.

Picture available soon. Please contact Emily Pike at 802-793-5044.

In search of DEAF DOG, Nice adopter wants deaf pitbull!!

Hi,
My name is Kim Thompson and I am the shelter manager at the Butte Humane
Society. We had a nice deaf pitbull that was adopted, but a VERY nice girl
came in after he was already placed because she was told he was still
here. She is an excellent adopter, and because she drove three hours, and
she would be a wonderful home for a dog, I told her I would try and find a
dog for her.
She really wants a deaf pitbull that's 50lbs or smaller. She loves white
dogs, and really just wants to help out a deaf dog. She is knowledgeable
and really eager to take care of a dog. She will consider ANY deaf dogs,
age is not important. If you think you know of a deaf dog let me know.
Search your shelters! Lets save someone today. If you have another type of
special needs, please email those as well. Please spread this email
around, and lets help save a deaf or special needs dog. I can help with
transport and she can adopt him through our shelter or refer her to an
organization.

Hi All-  I am passing this on for a friend who is trying very hard to 
help this little one. Please cross post and help send out to anyone 
you can think of who might want to help Peanut who really deserves a 
chance! Please do not email me back if you can help because I am away 
for the next week- and that is all that Peanut has left. Please email 
Heather below. Thanks!!


Dear Fellow Rescue Workers -

My name is Heather and I am the Rescue Coordinator for Camden 
County Animal Shelter.  I am desperately seeking help for a little 
girl named Peanut!

Peanut was found by an Animal Control Officer in Camden, back legs
paralyzed, scratching to get into the door of the crack house where she
was living.  Animal Control took her to the emergency vet where she has
been ever since.  Unfortunately, they have done all they can for Peanut.
Her paralysis is unable to be corrected and she does not have use of her
bowels - She must be expelled, like a puppy.

They are guessing Peanut is about five years old, but she could be
younger and have had such a bad diet that her teeth make her appear
five.  She is a very happy little girl and the wonderful folks at the
hospital made her a cart and she gets around great!  She is very much
full of life!

We are unable to take Peanut to our Shelter.  We simply don't have the
resources to give her the care and attention that she needs.  The
hospital can no longer keep her and we have until Labor Day to find a
place for her.  They won't be able to give us an extension on that
time frame.

We don't have very much time to try and save this girl!  When the
hospital contacted me, my heart broke, and I am trying everything
possible to save her from euthanasia.  Please, if you cannot help Peanut
yourself, cross-post this story and her pretty pictures!  All medical
records will be made available and my contact at the hospital will be
happy to answer any questions.  I can be reached at
CamCoShelter@yahoo.com (@yahoo.com)  and I check E-mail extremely frequently.

Thank you for caring about Peanut and all you do for the dogs!
