Seeking home for deaf Dalmation

My name is Sue Stewart from Irving Tx. I have made a family promise to find
a home for an 8 year old deaf Dalmation. (I consider her "Special Needs")
and must go to the right home. She is one of the sweetest dogs you will ever
meet. I know all about her for I have taken care of her off and on when her
mommy was on vacations, illnesses and hospitalizations. She was cleared for
adoption from my vet on Fri. May 5th. She is currently taking medications
for hot spots, but is responding very well and should be finished with her
meds in about 9 days. She has been spayed and is current on Rabies until
Aug. 07 but will need Distempter and Parvo combos. She sleeps alot due to
her deafness but loves to be woken for attention and of course her treats.
She gets along exceptionally well with children of all ages, dogs and cats.
Completely housebroken and leash trained. Please feel free to contact me
through e-mail or you may call me at 972-721-0902. (will send pics on
requests)

L.A., CA. - U- Maltepoo Sadie is blind and terrified

I am an unaltered female, gray Maltese/Poodle

The shelter thinks I am about 8 years old.

I have been at the shelter since May 09, 2007.

 

.

*DONATION AVAIL TO QUALIFIED RESCUE. TO QUALIFY PLS CONTACT pd53@sbcglobal. net PRIOR TO PULL.

 

Sadie is an 8 yr old MaltePoo who is blind. This little girl (9 pounds) is terrified. She is in ISO in a small cage and just shakes...you have to open the door of her cage with speaking to her or she starts to shiver.

A cage is no place for this very sweet and lovable little dog. She needs a couch to sleep on and a lap to cuddle on.

 

Pls get her out. Sadie HAS NO CHANCE OF GETTING OUT W/OUT A RESCUE...since she is in ISO she cannot be seen by public.

 

Sadie is precious in real life...the shelter pix is awful and hopefully will be re taken tomorrow

She looks like she could quite possibly be a purebred Yellow Lab.
She has tumors on her chest and her belly, but we have no way of knowing if they are cancerous or just the harmless fatty variety.  She is very thin and appears to be deaf.  Her walking is unsteady, but she can walk.  Please help her.  Maybe with some good food, the proper meds, and love, she could be beautiful again for her golden years!

 

This pound is rescue friendly, but they cannot hold dogs for you.

New York: No eyes, dental problems needs donations

GUS FROM NEW YORK!

 

 

Gus has a long sad story.  One of the many e-mails I received asking for a rescue to help a dog in need touched me.  Below is the request as it was sent.

BLIND !

 

 

THIS IS GUS.....

 

HE IS A LABRADOR MIX....HAS LONG CHOW LIKE HAIR AND A BLUE TONGUE.

 

HE IS MAYBE 6 YRS OLD AT MOST AND WEIGHS 55 LBS.

  

GUS  IS BELIEVED TO BE COMPLETELY  BLIND AND WE HAVE NO IDEA IF HE IS IN PAIN DUE TO HIS ENLARGED ONE EYE. :-(

 

 YET WITH NO VISION,

HE SPENDS HIS DAY LOOKING OUT OF HIS CAGE WITH BLANK,

YET PLEADING EYES.

 

YES, GUS  BEGS WITH HIS EYES.

 

" PLEASE PET ME? PLEASE TALK TO ME?"

 

HE GETS VERY HAPPY WHEN HE REALIZES SOMEONE HAS INDEED, NOTICED HIM.

 

BUT THE SAD PART IS....HE GETS OVERLOOKED ONCE PEOPLE LOOK AT HIM- AND THEN  SEE HIS EYES.

 

GUS LISTENS INTENTLY FOR FAMILIAR VOICES( VOICES THAT ARE NOT GOING TO RETURN. YOU SEE, NO ONE CAME TO RECLAIM GUS)

 

GUS USES HIS EARS AND NOSE A LOT.....

 

IT'S THE TWO SENSES THAT HELP HIM TRY TO UNDERSTAND THINGS.

 

 HE  LISTENS TO VOICES, TRYING TO GAUGE WHO SOUNDS FRIENDLY AND MIGHT WANT TO BEFRIEND HIM.

 

HE  SNIFFS THE AIR FOR SMELLS HE HAS COME TO KNOW, SUCH AS THOSE PEOPLE THAT DO STOP TO TALK TO HIM OR PET HIM.

 

PLEASE HELP US GET GUS OUT OF HERE.

 

HE IS IN A STRANGE PLACE.

 

    HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT IS HAPPENING TO HIM- WHY HE IS THERE- WHERE THE PEOPLE HE USE TO KNOW ARE.

 

HE HAS NO IDEA THAT HE IS IN SERIOUS DANGER....

 

 WE ARE SICKENED BY  THE THOUGHT THAT THIS SWEET, INNOCENT BLIND SOUL WILL BE LED TO THE EUTHANASIA ROOM,

VERY TRUSTINGLY, HAPPY FOR THE ATTENTION HE IS GETTING, PEOPLE TALKING TO HIM, PETTING HIM- ONLY TO PUT A NEEDLE IN HIS VEIN.

 PLEASE DON'T LET GUS DIE.

 

 

 

 

Gus came home from the vet today May 7, 2007

He is doing very well and seems to act like it's no big deal!

 

UPDATE :  MAY 7, 2007  Gus is home from the vet. He had both eyes removed due to severe - untreated glaucoma.  He had several teeth removed and he was neutered.  He is really doing well we feel because he was already blind and it seems like it's not a big deal to him.   Now at least he is not in any discomfort.

 

This is Gus - he is 100% blind

His teeth are in need of extensive dental work

Gus is from New York

He is now going to make Ohio his home!

This poor dog was in a dog pound in New York when he was pulled and taken to a vet for medical evaluation.  A person in New York paid his entire bill for tests, medical evaluation and board.  Gus had no place to go!  His urgent story went out on the rescue groups e-mails.  He had a rescue say they would take him and then backed out leaving poor Gus stuck in a vet office.  We are taking Gus into our rescue!  Gus will receive the medical care he needs.  Many people asked about sending  donations when he was in New York.  The person who paid his entire bill has requested that donations now go along with Gus!  We are a 501(c)3 non profit group and donations are tax deductible.  We are agian asking for help.  Gus needs to have his eyes evaluated as you can see in the photos taken in New York - his right eye is very large and seems to be bulging out.  His left eye is not as bad although they are both blind.  He has a severe infection in his mouth and will most likely need antibiotics , dental work and extractions.  We will know more soon.  Gus is in the process of trying to catch a ride with a truck driver to make the 530 mile ride.  If this fall through he has a rescue transport set for this Saturday.  Please consider giving a donation to help us get Gus the medical care he needs.

We are not sure we know all of his medical problems at this point but his tests and boarding so far has reached between $600.00 and $1500.00.   Now he needs the rest of the treatment.   

UPDATE :  APR. 24TH. 2007   Gus is on a transport with a truck driver heading to Ohio.  He will be here around midnight.

PHONE CONVERSATION WITH THE VET: GUS IS ON PAIN MEDICATION BECAUSE THE PAIN IN HIS EYES DUE TO GLOCOMA.  THE INTER-OCCULAR  EYE PRESSURE BUILDS AND CAUSES PAIN, GUS IS ALREADY BLIND.  THE VET WILL REVIEW ALL THE TESTS THAT WERE DONE IN NY AND MOST LIKELY HAVE HIS EYES REMOVED. 

 

UPDATE:  MAY 4, 2007   GUS is at the vet clinic now and just finished up with his surgery.  He had both eyes removed, several teeth removed due to infection and abscess and he was neutered.  The vet said he came through just fine and will remain at the clinic for a few days now to monitor his condition. 

 

Gus needs extensive dental work and more then that we have to take care of his eye problems that seem to be most urgent!

 

OHIO :PLEASE HELP MOLLY INJURIES SEVERE Lt R leg amputated, Rt R Leg/pelvis broken, she walks on front legs

                                MOLLY

LEFT REAR LEG AMPUTATED AND RIGHT REAR LEG AND   PELVIS FRACTURED.  SHE WALKS ON HER 2 FRONT LEGS!

Molly came into rescue at Saint Francis Animal Sanctuary May 12, 2007.  She came from Blacksburg Virginia on a rescue transport and spent the entire day traveling by car.  We knew that she had 3 legs but here is what we did not know!  Judging from her hair growth on her left hip area we can guess her left rear leg was amputated a few months ago.  The hair is not completely grown back.  Molly first showed up in VA at the shelter on 1/25/07.  She already had a left rear leg amputation.  The shelter contacted ALL the vet clinics around Blacksburg VA and no one remembered the dog. No owner could be found.  This poor dog was adopted in early February and showed back up as a stray at the same shelter in mid May.  When she showed up she could not use her existing rear right leg.  Her bones were sticking out of her rear area causing deformity.  She could not walk on her rear leg.  This poor girl is walking on her 2 front legs only. She holds her right rear leg tucked up under her abdominal area as if in pain to put weight on it.  She was adopted out again in this condition with out any ortho consult or evaluation.  Poor Molly!  She was only kept for 2 weeks and taken back to the same shelter as an owner surrender.  The shelter took her to a vet where she did not have any x-rays done.  The vet watched her walk on her 2 front legs and tuck her rear leg under her.  They said she had a fracture of the right rear leg above the knee.  She most likely had a shattered pelvis also.  No x-rays were taken because the doctors told the shelter the injuries had probably healed by that time.  Sorry folks... that's just not good enough for us.

THE RIGHT REAR LEG IS NOT USED TO AMBULATE.

THE VET SHE WENT TO IN VA SAID SHE HAS A FRACTURED RIGHT LEG AND SHATTERED PELVIS.

MOLLY TUCKS HER FRACTURED LEG UNDER HER.

SHE CAN ONLY WALK ON HER 2 FRONT LEGS FOR A SHORT DISTANCE UNTIL SHE GETS EXHAUSTED.

We can not let this poor dog go with out a complete evaluation of her rear leg and pelvis.  She is a young dog perhaps one or two years old.  What if  a surgery would give her the use of her only rear leg?  We are in the process of getting a wheel chair donated for Molly but that's still not good enough.  We really need donations now so Molly can get the medical care and evaluation  she needs.  Molly has suffered almost her entire life with failed adoptions, living in the dog pound and awful injuries that have changed her life forever.  Please send a donation to help us figure out what we can do to help Molly have  a  wonderful life without pain. She is a survivor!  The shelter where she came from had no funds set up for x-rays or surgeries  Molly may need and we  understand.  Lets hope it is not too  late and Molly will have a chance at a more normal life.

I OPENED MY EYES FROM A NAP! THIS IS WHAT I FOUND

I TOOK THE PHOTO WITH MY CELL PHONE! MOLLY SLEEPING RIGHT NEXT TO ME! SHE IS A WONDERFUL DOG!

UPDATE:  MAY 16,2007

Molly is scheduled at the vet this week where she will be spayed and get the much needed x-rays to determine if any thing can be done for her.  If her hip is "out of the socket" she may a procedure called FHO:

Femoral Head Ostectomy

The weight of the dog has some bearing on the outcome on this surgery. In the surgery, the ball portion of the hip joint (the femoral head) is removed and the bone smoothed, if necessary, so that no bone to bone contact occurs between the pelvis, which contains the now empty socket and the remaining portion of the femur. The joint is not stabilized, it is destroyed. While that sounds bad, in almost all dogs under 40 to 50 lbs in weight, this surgery will provide reasonable comfort. A "false joint" forms, consisting of fibrous scar tissue around the bone end. This forms in the muscles over the hip, which fortunately are strong enough to provide some stability. It is less painful than leaving the dislocated femoral head rubbing against the pelvic bone.

We have to see what is going on with her fractured rear leg that may have already fused.  Please donate!

We need emergency funds for Molly who will be evaluated by a vet.  We are a 501(c)3 non profit group and donations are tax deductible  Thank You.

Injured Dog Needs Donations!

Here are a couple of pictures of Ziggy's injuries. The close up you can see how big the laceration was by his leg and the drain. The huge bruise on his side and chest is where the ribs were broken. I'll try to get a picture of his neck this evening. That is on his right side.

 

If you want to contributue to Ziggy's bill please call the Vet directly to donatate 678-475-1262

 

With everything that has happened this spring, the three shelter puppies that eventually died from parvo that left me with HUGE bills and a rescue refusing to pay, the mama bulldog that had an emergency c-section totaling over $1600 and now with Ziggy in the hospital and bills over $4300. Plus, there is no telling what my emergency bill is going to be. There is no job in sight although I?ve had several interviews. I just have to come right out and say it I NEED HELP! I desperately need any help you can give. Ziggy will be in the hospital at PetFirst 678-475-1262 for a couple more days. If you can see it in your heart and can help in any way please do. Feel free to contact the clinic if youd like to get an update or want to pay the Vet directly. I want to bring my poor little guy home.

Cranston RI : Two kittens with missing feet need homes

This was written to Handipets through MySpace,  Keep an eye on Handipets MySpace as Erin has commented there and may keep updating.

 

 

Hello,  I thought this would be the best site to come to.  I have 2 handicapped kittens of my own.  They are disabled because when they were born there umbilical cord was wrapped around their back feet so now they are unable to use them.  There is one kitten with 2 feet and one kitten with 3 feet. 

 

 

 

I have taken both of them to the vet several times and they are fine.  I can't find homes for them because people don't want the responsibility.  I would take them myself but I have 4 cats and a dog of my own and this is not an easy task.  If you know of anyone or anywhere I can call please help me.  I refuse to take them to a shelter because of how much I love them.  Please if you know anyone let me know.  I have pictures of them if you would like to see.  Most adorable things I've ever seen.

 

 

Through conversation with Erin Handipets received more information:

 

 i am in cranston rhode island and id be willing to travel a couple miles depending ... there feet are stumped ... they fell off but they still have legs.. they are learning to walk on i will send u a picture... actually they are on my pics on my myspace if youd like to see. my email is emrinaldo@CCRI.EDU they are still feeding from the mother so id give it maybe 2 more weeks until they are ready. my number is 401 270-2726. when taking them to the vet she told me that they would have to be indoor cats with rugs. Becuase of the stub feet rubbing on the ground they do not have sickness at all. so hopefully you can help me and find a family.

 

thank you
erin

 

 

 

One eyed blind tabby cat (TX)

Hello, I am trying to place a blind female cat.  She was left behind by neighbors, and had a litter of kittens that are now 4 weeks old. I have found homes for the kittens but am having trouble placing the momma cat.  She had to have her eye removed last year, and only sees shadows from her other eye.. She is very fearful of dogs, which I have 8 of so my home is not the ideal place for her.  She is extremely sweet and likes people once she gets to know them.  She is mostly blind so will need to be an indoor cat. I am in east Texas..  If you would like more info on her, please contact me at
