PLEASE can anyone help? Paralyzed 2 year old dachshund to be put to sleep monday

 

Hello,

I have a 2 & 1/2 year old dachshund named Elf. This past Saturday he
collapsed and he could not use his back legs and has no control of his
urinary or bowel functions. I took him to the Columbus, Ga animal
emergency clinic and they took x-rays, then told me I would need at
least $3000.00 for surgery. I am on a fixed income and could not
afford this. So they put him on Prednisone. I have been trying to
take care of him but I am not able to give him the proper care he
will need. I am giving him baths every few hours but he has now
developed rashes from the urine. I am using training pads and
baby diapers to try to keep him dry, it is not working. He is also
constipated and in discomfort. I called the vets office and was told
there is nothing they can do for him, they receptionist told me to
give him some pumpkin and it would help, however it has not worked so
far. At this point I am afraid if I cannot find someone who can take
care of him I will have to have him put to sleep. Is there anyway
your Resue group can help Elf? He is extremely loveable and gets
along well with children and other dogs.

New York City- Blind Chow Mix needs loving home!!

 

Goldie is a gentle, loving and magnificant 4-year-old Chow/Collie mix who was rescued from the city pound. Goldie came in as a stray and was going to be euthanized because he is blind. But, his lack of sight does not deter Goldie's love of life, enthusiasm and affection. (He reminds one of an unseeing Lassie) Goldie loves people and other animals. He is housebroken and otherwise healthy. It is hard to put into words, Goldie's courageous and optimistic spirit. He does not let his disability interfere with his zest for life. If bumping into things, Goldie simply moves on. Sightless dogs usually attach very closely to their caregivers and give great joy. Some of our most successful adoptions have been blind dogs. Can you open your heart to this wonderful dog who is ALL heart? If so, please call us at (212) 427-8273, rather than email. Goldie is a true "find" and will make some lucky and compassionate person very happy!

Donations needed! Please help Kane, loving 10 MONTHS pit bull, nds surgery or will be euth'd.

Email yep6cats@aol.com with any questions.

Some of you may remember Kane,  the white pit bull I met at the shelter, being dumped by his person, Maria. Maria told me that Kane was suffering because he was having a hard time walking. She cried as she told me she wanted his suffering to end and that's why she was bringing him to the shelter. Sadly, a lot of people in the South Los Angeles area are naive about what goes on at the shelter. She thought they would vet her dog and then  find him a new home. I told her that the shelter does not have the resources to vet her dog. I told her that the dog must be held by law at the shelter for 5 days and that he would be terrified and sad, knowing he had been abandoned. She did not leave Kane at the shelter.

 

 Maria is one of the few owners turning in a dog who actually cares, who actually wants help so she can keep her beloved dog.  She has had Kane since he was a puppy. Maria's friends are telling her "he is just a dog" but to Maria, he is her child.

 

A very kind person donated so that Kane could go to Dr. Olds, the BEST ortho vet, and get a proper diagnosis.  Kane has grade three luxating pattela--his knees pop in and out when he walks. The cost to correct both knees is $3200!  Maria has agreed to raise $500 to help her dog and I told her I would do my very best to raise the $2700 balance so that Kane can once again run and play like a normal young pup.

 

This seems like a huge amount to raise and I am praying for a miracle for him. If he does not have the surgery, Maria feels that Kane is suffering and she would rather euthanize him than let him continue to suffer and be sad.

If enough funds can be raised, the surgery will be done by Dr. Olds at Brentwood Pet Clinic. They no longer accept phone donations because they have been bought by a large corporation and are now not allowed to accept donations over the phone.

Donations of any amount to help Kane are greatly appreciated. To make a donation,  please visit his fund raising page at:

I had thought that Ari was going to a rescue, but I never got any further contact about it, Now the army is moving us, and I have got to place her ASAP, and I lost all the addresses of others who were interested in her. PLEASE! If anyone is interested in helping her, or having a special needs themselves, PLEASE contact me ASAP. Again, she is perfectly healthy kitty, and a sweetheart, she had to have a tumor removed, and is spastic ( I was told by the lady who I took her in from that she has cerebral palsy ) she walks like a drunken sailor, but uses a cat box and everything fine. I rescued her myself from a army couple here, that were being moved, and were going to have her put to sleep that day because they had no luck in adopting her out because of her issues( which I have ran into here as well ). Please feel free to contact me if you can help. And to crosspost as well! Thank You!

Please help find this poor frightened cat a place to go. He was
trapped at night, and the underpaid overworked short staffed ACO for
Heard county got him before noon the very next day, but he was obviously
frantic at being trapped, and did this damage to himself. He allows
himself to be touched, so he is not feral. Just in need NOW.

L.A. CA. - Precious little disabled Terrier (missing 1 foot + 1 is deformed) came into South L.A. Shelter emaciated, flea-infested, matted!

At the South L.A. shelter on Friday, one of the RVTs asked me if I would groom a little dog which had just come in.  This little girl had just been caught on the street by an officer, and was in the medical room.

The dog is the most adorable terrier--a norwich terrier/poodle lookalike--who is not only missing her right rear foot, her left back leg is deformed--possibly from an untreated break.   She was also very emaciated, matted all over her body, and had one of the worst flea infestations I've seen at the shelter...and I've seen some awful ones.

I can hardly bear to think what a terrible life this darling girl had been subjected to that she ended up in this condition.

 

The first thing I did was shave off her mats.  I was able to remove her coat almost in one piece quite quickly (thanx to Espree De-Tangler spray.)  It came off like I was shaving a sheep.

Her flea infestation was so bad, I had to use undiluted organic flea shampoo, and shampooed her twice.  You can see the blood oozing from the flea dirt in the attached photos.  Even when I rinsed her, dead fleas were still stuck all over her body.  All those black dots you can see on her body, head, face, etc., are all fleas.

All through this process, this baby was as good as gold.  She was really cooperative all the way: cleaning her filthy ears, cutting her horribly overgrown nails were no problem.   Despite all she's been through, she is really sweet and not scared of people.

She is just skin-and-bone.  And with her disability affecting both back legs, she is going to need to find a really special home.

 

Her impound number is A869998.  She is 4 years old and not yet spayed.  She is available on Wednesday, May 10th at 8am.

*BUT PLEASE ONLY RESCUE HER IF YOU CAN PUT HER DIRECTLY INTO A FOSTER HOME AFTER HER INITIAL VET EXAM.

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE HER IF YOU PLAN TO PUT HER IN BOARDING, WITH ONLY A WEEKLY TRIP TO ADOPTIONS.  THAT WOULD BE CRUEL.

THIS LITTLE GIRL DESERVES TONS OF TLC, AND SHE NEEDS IT AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE!

*South L.A. shelter Direct lines:  213-485-0117, 0119, 0227, or: 213-485-0303.

Subject: Rudy the tiny fawn chihuahua left to die with mutiple factures in the front legs

Can you please croospost this poor Baby shouldn't have to die because his owners were cruel to him.
 
Three weeks ago a 7 month old-5 LB Chihuahua was left and thrown into the Clay County ACC holding area. His two front legs have multiple fractures and breaks. He is alive but not for long. His legs were wrapped, but the damages is so bad, that for him to survive and walk, he will need multiple titanium plates and the surgery will cost at least $7,000. Clay ACC asked the media to cover the story to find out if anyone knew anything so we could go after the criminal who did this. Donations were asked too. Lots of money was sent for the same type of crime for a dog at the JAX Humane Society, but not one dollar was received at Clay. JAX received lots of donations.
A group of surgeons are willing to sponsor him, but we need to raise at least $3,500 to cover just the cost of the materials. The rest will come.. Thank goodness for the humanitarian efforts of these Vets. Please Post nationwide and get the word out. All donations can be sent to the Town and Country Vet clinic in Oviedo.   Their phone # is 407-365-3565 for credit card donations and mailing address is 1725 w. Broadway, Oviedo, Florida 32765. Further information can be emailed to us the sponsoring 501C rescue. Adopt a Rescued Kitty Inc's.  small breed rescue dog division-   animalsinneedusa@earthlink.net (earthlink.net)
1-888-873-1897 for messages. Please help. I have asked Debra Sue at C ACC to attach a picture to be posted.
