URGENT! Roxboro, NC 3 blind Aussie mixes + 3 nursing pups need rescue

CONTACT INFO:  photobycd@yahoo.com

***PLEASE CROSSPOST ***

Owner evicted - 2 blind adult males and 1 blind adult female (nursing 3 puppies that were born on August 8th) - Australian Shepherd mixes need rescue BEFORE SEPT. 14th or they will be taken to our local shelter and euthanized.  The animal shelter in this county does not make any "special needs" animals available for adoption or even rescue.  If they are taken there they will be immediately euthanized.  PLEASE HELP!   Here are some details:

Some time ago you received a plea from me for 4 blind and deaf little aussie mix puppies, and many of you sent offers to help (all 4 are now living happily ever after in their forever homes, thanks to your many crossposts and emails).  The female (now with new litter) and one of the males are the parents of those puppies.  Mom has since been living tied to a tree, and the two males are in a pen and getting no attention at all...just the basics - food, water, and a small dog house for shelter. 

Owner has now been evicted and the animals must go.  He does not want them euthanized and has asked me to try and get them to a rescue.  His property must be cleaned out and all dogs must be gone by Friday, September 14th. 

The dogs:  Mom (named "Girlie")  is blind and around 4 years old (they think).  According to the owner, her 4-week old puppies are not blind (they were fathered by a lab/hound mix...they think).  She is very shy, but seems very gentle. 
The two males are also blind and approx. 3 years old (Girlie is their mother).  The two males have been living together in a pen and are very shy but not aggressive.

The males are not neutered (and obviously Girlie is not spayed).  They have had no vet care to date, but I am willing to pay for vaccinations for all 6 if necessary, if there is a rescue out there who can take them, or even if there is a foster home out there so that it buys us more time to look for a rescue. 

Photos of the adults are attached - I hope to go out and get photos of the puppies this weekend and can forward them if anyone needs them.  If you are unable to see the photos, please email me and I will gladly send them to you individually.

Please - if you can help or know any rescue or any person who might, please forward this email or contact me at  photobycd@yahoo.com.

Thank you.

Fw: Australian Cattle Dog puppy - injured - needs home and surgery

CONTACT PERSONrosiemauzy@yahoo.com
 
Maybe you can help some how. I rescued a Red ACD puppy she is about
4 or 5 months old. The owner was going to put the pup to sleep,
stating that his children were afraid of the puppy. To make a long
story short I received the puppy on Saturday August 25,2007 notice
the puppy had a limp in her right rear leg. Took the puppy to the
vet on Monday August 27,2007 only to find out that the puppy has a
bone chip in the knee area that was displaced and it will required
surgery. 1. I took on the puppy with the intentions of finding her a
new home ( I have a 10 month old lab of my own). 2. I can't afford
the cost of the surgery ( was told it could cost from anywhere from
$2500.00 to $5000.00 for the surgery). The puppy is very friendly
and loveable. The owner told me the puppy was house trained - I
don't think so. I don't think much time was spent with the puppy.
Again she is a sweet heart. She is good with my children and my
dog. I was just wondering if you know of anyone wanting this puppy
and willing to take this added expense. I have tried my hardest to
find her a new home but have been unsuccessful - I will have to
turn her over to the local humane society in the near future.
Please let me know as soon as possible if you know of any one
wanting her. I have pictures and I have contacted shelters but had
no luck. We live Maryland. Thanks in advance for any assistances you
may have.

Smokey FIV+ cat for adoption in Connecticut

Please contact Castaway Cats in CT, 203-924-4781 or jodi@castawaycats.com
Smokey is a sleek, beautiful pewter gray kitty who looks similar to a Turkish Van or Angora with the color of a Russian Blue.  He has silky soft short-medium length fur with a fluffy tail.  He's a 2 year old neutered male who is so very sweet and loving.  He is very healthy, but has tested postive for FIV -- so he needs a home either as an only cat or with another FIV positive cat.  Cats who test positive for FIV can easily live out a cat's normal lifespan with little or no complications.   .

FIV+ cat for adoption in Connecticut

CONTACT INFO: Castaway Cats in CT, 203-924-4781 or jodi@castawaycats.com.
 
Fluffy is a gorgeous 3 year old gray tabby who looks similar to a Maine Coon Cat.  He's a neutered male with thick, medium-length fur and a fluffy tail.  He is very healthy, but has tested positive for FIV -- so he needs a home either as an only cat or with another FIV positive cat.  Cats who test positive for FIV can easily live out a cat's normal lifespan with little or no complications. 
Fluffy hates dogs, so would do best in a dog-free household.  He is extremely friendly and affectionate, but can also be sassy and fresh, so we recommend him for an adult-only household.

DC Area, FELV+ cat needs home

CROSSPOSTING, Contact info below:

 Wendy Sue lazyneko@cox.net


I'm still desperately trying to find a place for a FELV+ stray. He's been
vetted, neutered and is so sweet that I'd hate for him to go to a refuge. He's
definitely a house cat and purrs nonstop when being petted.

He's being kept in a 2.5'x2.5'x2. Enough room for food and litter, but not
much else. He's getting
increasingly unhappy and it's not right for him to have to stay there. Can't
keep him at my place as there is just no spare room to house him away from my
own cats in my townhouse.

Please, can't someone help make this kitty happy?

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. Davis

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.

DONATION NEEDED! Ca- GSD Pup named Fresno shot and left in ditch beaten in immediate danger

Fresno is a German Sheperd Dog.  He is a puppy. He was found in a ditch in CA.

Two rescues are in collaboration to get Fresno the help he needs.  Oregon German Sheperd Rescue and Indigo Rescue.
 
Fresno has been flown to Oregon and is now in the hospital awaiting surgery.
 
Surgery has to happen today.  The estimate for surgery is $3612.  IMOM has pledged $500 from emergency funds.  Please help us to quickly raise $3112.

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.

Family moving FRIDAY! BLIND 9 YR old SPAYED poodle/tzu needs home; photos attached,

PLEASE CROSS POST - This little BLIND girl _MUST _be gone by Saturday
morning!!! They are moving to Florida and can't take her!


Blind dogs see with their heart....



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
with questions and problems. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/blinddogs

I need to place my Maggie by Friday August 31st. We thought had found a
home, but it fell through.
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

Bill Athan

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:
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!

I need to place my Maggie by Friday August 31st.  We thought had found a home, but it fell through.
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.   http://www.animaleyecare.net/diseases/pra.htm

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 hope you can help me with her placement.

Sincerely

Bill Athan

VT - Special Needs Cat - needs inexpensive medication for life - needs home ASAP

CONTACT: Emily Pike at 802-793-5044

I was contacted today by a lady that is moving to an apartment that does not allow cats. She had 3 cats, and has found two of them homes already, but is having trouble placing this last cat because he requires a once a day dose of Lactulose for the rest of his life due to bowel issues, to keep him from impacting (becoming constipated). He's UTD on all vet work, very healthy, sweet, GREAT with kids. His ONLY special requirement is a daily dose of this very inexpensive medication, which he takes easily (it's a liquid). 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. Cat may be euthanised if not placed by this weekend, as owner must be out of old location by Sunday, September 2nd. Owner very distraught, loves this cat, sincerely wants to find him a home! 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!

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.

cat attacked by coyote in Encinitas CA needs donations for surgery

PLEASE CROSSPOST

Hi, I have a friend who's neighbors cat was attacked by a coyote on August
15th. She went with the cats so called owner to the vet only to find out
she didn't want to pay for an x-ray or treatment because the cat was already
10 years old. Only because Christine was there is why Bob is still
alive.her neighbor was going to euthanize him but instead out of guilt and
at Christine's urging he was given antibiotics for the puncture wounds and
pain meds for his fractured jaw and then sent home to see if his jaw would
"fix itselt". Yesterday my friend was able to get her neighbor to
relinquish Bob with a formal letter so she could take him to a vet for an
x-ray. Unfortunately Christine already cares for several cats of her own
and can't afford the surgery to wire his jaw. It was determined at the vet
yesterday that he needs a very simple surgery . The vet (Dr. Chow VCA North
Coast Animal Hospital) said she could both feel and see the fracture, it is
called a "mandibullar symphyseal fracture". She did not need to take an
x-ray because luckily she said it was a simple fracture, one you can see
visually. He was 3% dehydrated and has lost several pounds over the last
week since this happened and when she had previously examined him. Since he
has lost so much weight she determined he needed surgery as soon as possible
to wire his jaw so he is scheduled to have surgery today. Christine is
getting an account set up at the vet so funds can go directly to his care
and his surgery is scheduled for around noon. I will have all the details
on Bob's account very soon. Additionally, Stray Cat Alliance has very
generously pledged $200 towards his care so we are only trying to fund raise
for the additional $288 - if anyone can help with even $5 that will help so
much. Stray Cat Alliance has also offered to give anyone who would like a
tax deductable receipt one as well as we can provide pictures,
relinquishment letter, vet bills/estimate etc. Please help Bob get a second
chance! After his recovery we will be searching for his new forever home,
one where he will be loved and cared for.

Please email me off-list if you can donate and I will provide vet info so
the donation can go directly to the vet I will also have pictures this
afternoon and can provide them as well as vet estimate/bill paperwork
etc.

Thank you sooo much for caring about Bob!

Shelbyville, KY. - Kasa, the sweet dog with only one eye needs home

Due to my pregnancy, today was my first time to visit the shelter in almost
five weeks. While walking the dog kennels, I was immediately drawn to this
sweet girl. The shelter has named her Kasa. There are mixed opinions of
what she might be, but I think the last poll stated that she is either a
Husky
or Malamute mix. Either way, I was struck how petite she is. She is about
the size of a Sheltie.

Sadly, Kasa's right eye is missing. For lack of a better word, it appears to
have "goo" seeping from out of the eye socket. Poor girl. Can you imagine
the headache and pain you would be in if your eye was poked out???? We don't
know exactly what happened to her eye, but there appears to be no eye ball.

When we got her out of the dog kennel area, we took her to the office area
to take pictures. We discovered to wonderful things about her. First, she
loves cats. She wanted to roll and play with the shelter cat, Mouse.
Secondly, she was very good with my 3 year old daughter. Between the cat and
my
daughter, she didn't know who to play with first!!!!!!

Kasa is very friendly with everyone and is VERY eager to please. She needs
a good bath and veterinary attention for the eye. But other than that, she
appears in good health.

She's impound #9.

Her adoption fee is only $65 and includes a $30 voucher to be applied to her
spay surgery at a vet of your choice.

This shelter is VERY rescue friendly and does not charge a pull fee to
reputable rescue organizations. THE RECEIVING RESCUE MUST MAKE ALL TRANSPORT
ARRANGEMENTS.

This is a county government operated facility and though they try VERY hard
to find all dogs a home or rescue, sometimes they DO have to euthanize, so
let's all work on forwarding this email to get Kasa out!!!!!!

If you can help Kasa, please contact the shelter at: 502-633-0009
IMMEDIATELY if you can help!

He needs immediate medical care for his leg and will not be held past Aug 25th. All animals adopted from Clayton Co Animal Control must be spayed or neutered within 30 days of adoption.

Grapevine, TX - sweet, DEAF dog w/cord wrapped around it's neck needs rescue/home

EXTREMELY URGENT - Sweet deaf dog, found in Grapevine, TX (suburb in Dallas area) with blind cord wrapped around his neck.
CALL 817-723-8374 or email Michelle at jonettemichelle@yahoo.com (@yahoo.com)



This darling dog was found about a week ago by a neighbor of a very nice lady named Michelle in Grapevine.  The poor sweet dog had a blind cord wrapped around his neck, that the neighbor cut off, and had fly bites all over his ears (which have now healed). He is as sweet as can be but is deaf which Michelle realized upon trying to call him to give him water.  Appears to possibly be an Aussie, Brittany or Border Collie mix.  Michelle thought perhaps he may be a Husky mix. Her apartments do not allow pets, but the apt manager being an animal lover has made an exception temporarily to allow Michelle time to find him a home. This is of the utmost urgency.

He has been neutered and is housetrained and is a medium size of about 45 pounds. Michelle said he is a really great dog - truly wonderful. He is extremely good with children and Michelle has a 2 1/2 year old that he's gentle and sweet with.  He appears to be a little scared of men in general but warmed up to the apartment manager's husband, also an animal lover.

Please, is there anyone out there that can help this sweet dog? 
If so, call 817-723-8374 or email Michelle at jonettemichelle@yahoo.com (@yahoo.com)

6lb apricot poodle with BROKEN JAW and NO TEETH!

CROSSPOST FAR AND WIDE!!!~

Please help us help Maxine: We need to raise money to fix her broken Jaw.

Little Maxine, a purebred apricot poodle who weighs just 6 pounds, needs your help.
 


Maxine has spent her whole life (6 years) living in misery at a puppy mill in Kansas where she was bred over and over and over.  She knew no love, no happiness, and every time she had puppies to love they were whisked away to be sold at pet stores.  After 6 years of Breeding, her puppies were no longer small enough for him and choose to euthanize her, but a pet shop owner in LA decided to take her in. When she arrived, she had an infection in her mouth and for some reason the vet stuck the plastic end of a syringe into her neck to drain the infection.  We were in shock when we saw the cut-off syringe sticking out of her neck.  We rushed her to our own vet who gave us sad news -- Maxine's jaw is broken, she's been living in horrible pain, and she needs surgery.  The vet removed the syringe, cut away the dead tissue, stitched up the hole and treated Maxine's infection and pain.
 


We all hear sad stories every day, it's the unfortunate price of working so hard to rescue dogs who need us.  But sometimes we hear a story so tragic that it's staggering.  That's how we feel about Maxine.

It will cost us almost $1500 to completely treat her and get her better. They have removed all her teeth because it was in such bad shape due to the years of neglect.

Every little bit counts... If you can make a contribution towards Maxine's care please go to :

www.thumpingtails.org and click on DONATIONS and pay via Paypal or you can send a check to :

Thumping Tails Animal Rescue
P.O. Box 291658

Neutered Deaf Dog in Dallas-Ft. Worth, TX needs a home.

I am trying to find someone to take a dog that I found about a week ago.  My neighbor first found the dog with a blind cord wrapped around his neck. He cut the cord and started feeding the dog outside. He said he was reluctant to call animal control for fear they would put him to sleep. He is a very good dog. But he is deaf. I noticed him outside my apartment, panting so I went outside to take him some water and his back was towards me. I whistled and called to him but he never turned around. He walked in the middle of the street and just stood there. I had to get in front of him where he could see me, then he followed me to my apt. I've had him here for about 5 days and he is certainly deaf. He is a mixed breed, medium size, red & white. He has been neutered and despite being deaf is a very good dog. I have a 2 1/2 year old son who he is very gentle with. If I'm asleep and he needs to go out h nudges my bed until I wake up. So he is house trained.
I worked for a Veterinarian for 8 years and my mother runs the humane society in Little Rock , Ar. So being an animal lover I hate to see this dog put down. He is very sweet. My apartment complex does not allow pets but after meeting him the manager has agreed to let him stay until I can find someone to take him. She walks him during the day when I am at work.
I know nothing about his medical history only his personality. My guess is that a man abused him because he is a little more cautious of men. Women he goes up to with no hesitation, tail wagging.

Sean Casey Animal Rescue would like to introduce two very special pets who are in need of loving homes....

Sweet Maggie is a 4 month old Beagle who came to us with a severe leg injury caused by rubber bands being twisted around her leg. Unfortunately the blood supply was cut off and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her leg. She gets around just fine but she wants and needs a home and family of her own.

Tristan is a one year old Domestic Shorthair who was left outside the Brooklyn CACC on a towel. Sean was going to pick up some animals and he saw the towel on the ground, but it was just a towel...no one was near it. Sohe started looking around and found Tristan hiding in the shadows, his leg broken! Sean brought him home that night and took him to the vet the next morning where they determined that his injury could not be repaired and Tristan had to lose his leg. Like Maggie, Tristan gets around really well and loves to play. Tristan is an unusually affectionate cat, even with pain from a broken leg, he was looking for attention and affection. His sweet disposition is sure to make someone very happy!

Maggie and Tristan are spayed/neutered, dewormed, treated with Revolution to prevent fleas, ticks, ear mites and heartworm and are up to date with their shots. Maggie's adoption fee is $200.00 and Tristan's adoption fee is $75.00. Both will receive one free vet exam, one free month of pet health insurance and a microchip.

If you'd like to meet either of them please email us at nyanimalrescue@yahoo.com for an adoption application.

Here are photos of Sweet Maggie and Tristan:
 

Blanchland, WV Blind Cocker boy in WV needs rescue ASAP

 
I desperately need to find a rescue group.  Someone has "dropped" a cocker spaniel at my home and I need help.  He is an older adult male.  He appears to be going blind if not completely blind already.  He seems to be a good natured dog so I think the vision issue is the reason why he was abandoned.  I frequently care for homeless dogs but I do not have the funds to help care for this little guy as I just spent $1,000.00 on surgery to remove a cancerous insulinoma from my Italian greyhound.  I have four dogs and I also have five young children so I honestly don't think my home is the best environment for a blinding dog.  /SPAN>We are located in Branchland, WV (about 1 hour outside of Charleston, WV).  If you can help us or know of any one who can please let me know.

Extremely Urgent !!!! Injured BABY Pit Bull Mix Poss. Broken Leg

 
 
 I believe he is a pit bull mix about 5 years of age or maybe younger, brown in color and a
male.  His teeth and hair are in good condition.  No distinguishing marks.
 
He seems to be aggressive around my dogs, but friendly with people.  His
back leg is injured, possible broken.
 
I am deseparately looking for a no kill shelter or home for him.
Also, I can bring him to a foster home
If they can't come here and I can help a little financially.  Not much,
But anything helps.
 
Thanks so much.  I work in Dallas during the day, but will keep my cell
Phone handy.

Blind Shepherd Mix Needs A Home - Jersey City, NJ

CONTACT INFO:  lhs@libertyhumane.org (libertyhumane.org)
 
 
 
An active 5 years old, Boogie is in the prime of his life. In addition, despite being a shepherd mix, he is just 38 lbs.

He may seem a little shy and hesitant in new situations. However, that is only because Boogie is blind. (Since he was picked up as a stray, it goes without saying that this dog is pretty resourceful).

Don't feel sorry for him or write him off as too much labor...Since dogs rely more on scent and sound, blindness isn't as big deal to him as it might be to a human and many blind humans manage just fine.

Like Tina Turner sings in "Proud Mary", he just needs to take things nice, slow and easy when you start walks. Let him get his bearings by touching you ever so slightly. Once he gets a feel for where he is, you can take things up a few notches:-)! Boogie is also very affectionate and outgoing. His dark eyes sparkle and smile. He is into heavy petting and will bestow tons of kisses in return. Some people even call him goofy.

Goofiness aside, he possesses impeccable manners and puts the GENTLE in gentleman. Boogie seek a quiet home with someone who would be willing to be his seeing eye person.

Boogie is waiting for that special someone at the Liberty Animal Shelter in Jersey City, NJ.  If you can give him the second chance he deserves, please contact lhs@libertyhumane.org, or better still, stop by the shelter to meet him.  The Liberty Animal Shelter is located at 235 Jersey City Boulevard, (Exit 14C off the NJ Turnpike, across from Liberty Science Center parking lot entrance) Jersey City, NJ

All About 05
Picked up on 7-19-07, he weighs 38 lbs,he is also blind , For questions about the dog's temperament please email starkdoginfo@yahoo.com (@yahoo.com). (We are unable to test with cats or kids). (THIS IS NOT THE HOLD EMAIL ; email eigibson@co.stark.oh.us to place a hold on the dog.). Adoption fee of $62 includes license, Duramune shot (donated shots; as supplies are available) and refundable $35 spay/neuter deposit. We take CASH ONLY, no checks, or credit cards. Because most of our dogs in the kennel are strays, we do not have any knowledge about each individual dog's background, so we cannot make any health claims or behavior assurances concerning our dogs. We have two certified SAFER testers who can grade the dogs on an A-F scale. (SAFER is a temperament test developed by Emily Weiss, PhD specifically to assess the behavior of shelter dogs; along with other methods we can get a better idea of the dog's temperaments). We offer a hold system, but please be advised that more than one person can put a "hold" on the same dog. (The person with the first hold may adopt the dog on the day it can go...72 hrs after its been at the pound; if the first hold doesn't show, the second hold gets the dog, etc) Please call the pound at 330-451-2343 to check on the dog's availability before driving a long distance. Rescue groups with 501(c)3 status can pull a dog for a reduced fee, but must show documentation of non-profit status All pets are eligible for one month Sheltercare Pet Insurance for a 1.00. starkdoginfo@yahoo.com (@yahoo.com)

JACK-#24391 4 YRS 3 LEGS
 
 
Poor Jack is enough to break your heart. He's obviously been through some severe trauma in his short life, but he's as calm and loving as he can be. He is missing his front left leg, and he has scars all over his head and body. He's also quite emaciated. Jack needs some kind soul to save him from his current situation so that he can finally live the life he deserves. Even with all of his injuries and apparent malnourishment, Jack gives and receives love with such grace that it is almost impossible to imagine him being the product of a neglectful home. Rescue groups, potential adopters, or anybody else, please help find a way to let Jack live the rest of his life experiencing the comfort and love that his first four years have been missing.
Update from another volunteer: #24391-- Jack has had a really rough life, but he is such a gem! Even though he is in such pitiful shape, you can see his beautiful soul shining through. He is also possibly housebroken-- he did all of his business once we let him out, and he will never be one to spray or mark as so many male dogs do, since he needs to use both back legs to stay upright. Jack needs an angel to help him out-- will you be the one?

Special Needs Boston Terrier - Gaithersburg, MD Seizure disorder

Is there someone on this list who might be able to take this guy?

Boston Terrier 1 Year Old Male

Found on Craigslist washington dc

Sweet and loving little dog needs a house that is one story and has a fenced back yard. He is very quiet and mostly well behaved (although an obedience class would be good for him). He is a pure bred Boston terrier and he just turned one year old. He is small and weighs only 15 lbs. We took him as a rescue but he has had a couple of seizures and has fallen down the steps in our house so we don't think it is safe for him here. We think he needs to go to a home that is only one story. If you think you are interested in him, please send an email. Thanks!

The owner's name is Diane Levene. Here is her email address:

Location: Gaithersbug

Tiny old, blind boston Needs a home


If anyone has a soft spot for senior bostons, Gwinnett AC has this little lumpy old blind girl who will be due out in a few days. I have no idea how long she will live out of the shelter - she is totally ancient, But there's a very sweet little girl behind the gunky eye, the lumps and bumps and the "old dog" body. All she needs to be happy is a soft spot to sleep (she doesn't move from her blanket too often), and someone to cuddle her - she loves to be cuddled up against someone.
 
If there are any die hard boston lovers that might like to give her a comfortable place to spend whatever time she has left, please give
Officer Hughes a call: 770-339-3200 (dial 0 at the message).

Jonesboro GA Dog dragged behind car needs donations (Graphic Pics)

REPOSTING

This sweet little dog had been dragged behind a car. Someone said the car /truck had the dog's leash hooked to the bumper and dragged him forever, his leash broke and this person called ac. This is the first time I have seen an animal that was in this condition. We rushed him to the vet. We are going tomorrow to see how he is doing. they do not know if it was done on purpose or not..

The dog that was dragged behind a car is at Jonesboro Animal Clinic in Jonesboro. The rescue that will be taking the dog though is Atlanta Pet Rescue so donations probably need to be sent to APR because the dog will be going to a different vet on Monday and APR is the group that will ultimately be picking up the bill. So instead of the Jonesboro Clinic possibly being overpaid please just ask that donations be sent to APR.

Atlanta Pet Rescue's site address is www.atlantapetrescue.org and they also have a paypal button.

They have an address that goes directly to the donations that is
donations@atlantapetrescue.org (@atlantapetrescue.org)

Thank you!!
