Dear People who we don't know but implore for help:

We are the Colon family in Long Branch NJ.  Our beloved PitBull
love machine, Boo Boo, who loves bunnies and birds and kitties and us
(and goodies) somehow hurt her cervical disc(s) in her spine, thus pinching
a vital nerve of her left leg.  We aren't 100% sure because she suddenly 
appeared injured and $1000.00 we didn't have but have spent later, we're told 
she needs an MRI and possibly surgery.  It has been weeks and we have tried 
medicines and crate rest but her left leg goes limp.  at times, she 
can "semi walk" but walks on the knuckle/joint above her paw.  Her 
paw and or toes get curled in and sometimes, she falls!

We have to carry her outside to pee and poo and she's not allowed
to walk on her own.  She's 50ish pounds and I anm 5 feet tall but I struggle
and carry her because I love her like a child.  My husband has a bad knee
and a hernia (we have no health insurance) and he carries her, too!
That's how much we love her!  We have cried and cried and neeeeed
your help!

My husband had surgery in Feb and just went back to work in
March.  He works at the Olive garden (for 15 years) and only makes
$14.90/hr. and never gets 40 hours but rather 35-36, somewhere in there.

I just started to work for a new job in Jan. 2008 and was let go
on April 20 because the company I worked for lost the contract with 
the hospital I was employed by.  I have no job but have been online
day and night.  I have an Associates Degree as a Human Service Professional
and in NJ without your Bachelors or Masters, you cannot get licensed
in socialwork, hence; most hobs only want to pay me $12/13/hr.
With $1300 rent, $125 budget electric, $110 gas budget, $311 car 
insurance, $10 AOL, $200 cell phones a month (have adhd teen)
and an old, 8 cylinder car, we really struggle and juggle.

We keep a very simple eye, don't have cable, never go out and have
a teenager and a menagerie of pets who we care for.  We are not 
eccentric collectors and out of responsibility in our natures as well as 
finances, we don't and won't have anymore pets. (2 dogs, 4 cats, 3 birds
a rabbit and a guinea pig)  (Boo Boo is one of our 2 dogs.)

We have never asked for your help but we're beside ourselves.

We found Boo Boo our beloved babydog (She's 7 in July.)
when we lost our baby daughter (I was 5.5 months pregnant.)
and we cannot even imagine her having to be euthanized.

PLEASE! PLEASE HELP HER!  BEING BEYOND WORDS GRATEFUL
AND BEING IN OUR PRAYERS FOREVER IF YOU DO, WE 
PROMISE FOR ETERNITY!

In God's love and through prayer we
sincerely ask,

Special Needs Kittens in New Jersey need Loving Home

Toby and Lucy are approximately 8 weeks old. They were both born

missing a portion of one of their hind legs. They get around well by

hopping. Toby is missing only his toes, but it seems to be painful

for him to put any weight on the rest of his limb. He may require

another amputation in the future. For the meantime, he just hops

around like Lucy. Lucy is missing her leg right below the knee. She

is slower to get around than Toby, but gets along just fine.



Toby is the adventurous brother. He is very curious and was always

the first kitten to figure things out. He learned how to eat dry

food when he was 3 weeks old! He also loves attention and has a

mighty purr!! He is also extremely patient and has a wonderful

temperament.



Lucy is the cuddler. She developed a tad slower than her siblings

because of her more significant disability. Because of this, she was

always sitting in my lap. Whenever I walk into their room, she looks

up at me with the cutest face that is begging me to sit down so she

can crawl into my lap. She is the sweetest girl with a calm and

loving personality.



Toby and Lucy need a family who will love them for who they are.

They need someone to constantly inspect their limbs to make sure they

don't develop sores that could lead to an additional amputation.

They also need a family that is financial able and willing to pay for

any additional surgeries if it becomes necessary. These two kittens

are precious and full of energy. They will make a wonderful addition

to any family!



Please email me if you are interested in meeting these sweet babies.

3-legged cat in search of loving home!

I am a very special kitty who is looking for someone very special to take care of me. I only have three legs and have had a bit of a rough life. My family had gotten some kittens and we didn't get along very well so they gave me up. I am extremely talkative and would love to have someone to chat with. Someone who could pet me and love me and brush me. I don't care much for other kitties or dogs because I think they will make fun of me and my three legs. I may need a little bit of an extra hand now and again and someone who can be a little sympathetic to me and my needs but I promise that the love I would give back to you makes it all worth it.

Cherokee and Cobb county were working together to help
this guy before his time was up. He was turned in as a stray and, given
his age and blindness, no one - rescue group or public - was looking to
save him. Yet, something was special about this sweet soul and said he
wasn't ready to die. So, Susan, Director of Training, and Bill, one of
our many awesome volunteers, pulled him from the county just hours
before he was to be euthanized. Mo was transported immediately to our
vet, North Roswell, for a thorough check-up. Mo is in excellent health!
We immediately put Mo into a foster home where he is receiving the
special care and attention he needs and deserves. His foster mom
writes: "Mo is a confident, sprightly little guy who does not let his
blindness stop him from exploring and getting around. He listens
carefully for sounds and is very responsive when called. He loves to be
carried and seems to be happiest being in his human's lap. He is
energetic and likes to play. He weighs about 5 pounds and is estimated
to be 12 years old. The vet said that little dogs live long lives so he
will probably give someone companionship for quite a few years."
Though Mo is being cared for in a great foster home, he needs a
permanent home where he can settle and live forever.

The intake team at OPP monitors the county shelters and
euthanasia lists with the goal of rescuing animals before their
“death date”. Intake team member, Sandy Adcock visits and
monitors Douglas County. This is where she met “Emmitt” who
had been caught in a trap and turned in as a stray. Sandy was concerned
about Emmitt surviving another week in the county shelter because he
was starting to sniffle. If the county believes a dog to be sick, they
are more likely to euthanize. Sandy kept that from happening! Upon
Emmitt arriving to OPP and receiving a bully rub from one of our
awesome volunteers, we discovered that “Emmitt” is actually
an “Emmie”! This girl just wants to please! Even though
some cruel person totally cut off her ears and half her tail, she is
sweet and loving to every human friend she meets!

An important part of Our Pal's Place mission is to provide educational services to the community with the goal of ending the killing of animals in county shelters due to pet overpopulation. Part of our education includes the importance of spay-neuter. A fact that our Community Outreach Lead, Dee McGowan, provides is 10,000 babies are born on average every day and 70,000 puppies and kittens are born every day. This means that each baby born must have 7 puppies/kittens in order to provide homes for the animals vs euthanize due to overpopulation. A female Collie mix was not spayed and had a litter of 5 pups who now need homes. The father is a Husky mix. These pups are super,super cute!! They have been in a foster home since birth, are well socialized with cats, dogs and kids, and are almost house trained. Cowboy is the biggest of the litter and more dominant than the other siblings. He is quite a cute character! Because he was always in the middle (literally) of his litter mates, we never noticed that he was blind. After the majority of his litter mates were adopted and he was moved into a new room in our facility, we noticed he ran (literally) into walls and other objects. His blindness explains why he barks more when he is alone...he is calling for companionship and help. Cowboy is amazingly smart and very resilient. He does not allow his blindness to hinder his puppiness! Please come meet this cute guy!

Here is what Douglas County Volunteer Sherri sent Intake Team members about Sniffles: A really special guy that they are trying to get into rescue if possible...he is basically missing his nose and some of his upper jaw/front teeth. He seems to do okay in spite of it. The staff doesn't want to give up on him and are willing to hold off on putting him down if they can find a group that takes in special needs guys...they are calling him "Sniffles" as he does snort a bit. Does OPP work with special needs/have any connections or do you know of a group that DC can contact for him? I'm attaching photos...it's a bit shocking at first but he's such a sweet guy...a young adult Shar Pei mix that came in as a stray. He's been with someone for a while obviously as his weight was okay and he's not a puppy (he can eat wet food). He's afraid of being on leash at the moment but I'm going to see if I can get him to walk with me tomorrow or over the weekend. Sniffles is now in a great OPP foster home! We are appreciative of all of the public and fellow-rescue group support we have received. Sniffles has a great life ahead of him!

Dad Caring For Deployed Son's 2 Pets Has Too Many Dogs

This is not a request for help...it's a request for awareness. These limits on how many animals you can have is yet another reason so many animals are sitting on death row, scared and lonely in shelters instead of their own homes. When you own or rent and have the permission of the landlord you should have the right to have as many animals as you can properly care for. There are no restrictions on how many children you can have...why are furry members of a family limited?

This man took in his son's dogs while is son went overseas on deployment and now he risks losing those dogs to the shelter because of these limits.

STORY UPDATE: 4/17/08 County Officials Delay Action In Dog Dispute

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. -- Henry Carroll got into trouble with the county when he agreed to look after his son's two dogs.

And it's turning into a dog war.

Carroll got into trouble with the county when he agreed to look after his son Adam's two dogs. Carroll's son is overseas fighting in Iraq.

The soldier is scheduled to return home in December, and his father says he is determined to make sure that when his son returns from his tour of duty, the dogs are waiting for him.

Carroll already had three dogs of his own. With five dogs, the county said he had two dogs too many.

“If my son's in Iraq, I can't watch his dogs according to the county,” Carroll said.

The county says with five dogs Henry's running a kennel, which he is not licensed to do. When he asked the county to clarify the definition of a kennel, he says he got several different answers.

“I said, 'I want to see the law I’m breaking; show it to me.'”

He said a county official gave him an ordinance, which defines a kennel as any place with eight or more where dogs or cats are fed, sheltered and watered.”

But he says another county document sent to him defines a kennel as any premises where four or more dogs are kept commercially or as pets.

Carroll got the Army to write a letter saying two of the dogs belonged to his son, but county officials didn't buy it.

They said, “Since Adam didn't sign it, it really might not be valid because it was signed by his platoon leader.”

Carroll now takes his fight to keep all five dogs to the Cumberland County Board of Adjustment. They meet Thursday night.

Meanwhile, he said if he's forced to give up any dogs it will be two of his animals. He said he's rather do that than break a promise to his son.

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C.--- A Fayetteville man who wanted his day in court so that he could keep five dogs in his house, including two that belong to his son who is fighting in Iraq, didn't get a chance to plead his case. But he didn’t lose his dogs either.

Henry Carroll went face-to-face with Cumberland County and the county blinked.

Before he ever got a chance to utter a word at a public hearing Thursday night, county officials said they'd need more time to research the situation.

As a result, the county said no dogs will be removed from his premises for the time being.

County officials decided to defer action after the county attorney said he'd need more time to clarify issues between several county agencies.

“I didn't expect that,” said a stunned Carroll.

The ordinance limiting dog ownership to three animals has been on Cumberland County's books since 1972, but a shelter operator who was one of a number of people who came to support Carroll said that law's no good.

“It's a badly written law and similar laws have been held unconstitutional in many other states,” said Linden Spear, director of "The Haven" animal shelter. “We hope the county realizes it's a badly written nuisance law and repeals it immediately.”

The controversy started when Carroll's son, Adam asked his dad to watch his two dogs while he was deployed overseas in Iraq with the 101^st Airborne. Henry Carroll’s landlord said that he had no problem with that.

“He asked me if he could do it when he found out his son was going overseas,” said Mike Urian. “At the time I didn't see any violation. I didn't think the county ordinance would count possession as a violation. I thought ownership would be a violation.”

So for now, Carroll goes about caring for the dogs and waits for his next public hearing.

“I’m relieved.,’’ he admitted. “The burden ain't lifted yet, but I got more time to prepare for it now.”

Peggy Sue the Bulldog only has 3 legs and needs a special cart

CLICK HERE to donate towards Peggy's cart

Peggy Sue was returned to Lone Star Bulldog Rescue because her family just could not give enough time to her. She only has 3 legs, but that doesn't stop her from trying to keep up with her bully foster family. She tries to hop and play in the yard, but since she has to put all of her weight on her only good shoulder, it is at risk of going out under her weight. She is such a sweet girl and very loving that we would hate to have to put her down sometime in the future, just because we could not afford to buy her a cart.We have found a cart that we can strap her in so she can have some relief from the constant pressure of trying to get around. With the constant influx of rescue dogs we are not even able to keep our heads above water with all of our vet bills so this is not even feasible right now. Please help Peggy Sue, she deserves to run and play!!
As always, we are a non profit organization 501c and all donations are tax deductable.

Farrah needs surgery can you help?

Farrah was dumped at the shelter -the reason they gave for dropping her at the high kill shelter? "She cowers around company" The worst part is that after we rescued her it was discovered that she had been hit by a car and these people never bothered to take her to the vet afterwards. It makes me sick to think of her suffering with her injuries - with no one there that gave a damn about her. Farrah has seen an orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Olds and her surgery will cost about $2841. We have already raised the money for her xrays, which have been done and the Rimadyl. Please help this wonderful dog finally have a normal, happy life.

Lexie has a shattered hip and needs your help

Shannon Sweeney submitted the following Information:

Location Austin, Arkansas
Comments

Hello to all my family and friends.  I am sending you this email in hopes of tugging at your heart little bit.
 
This is Lexie, she is a border collie, pit mix.  She is in need of your help.  I guess I should say WE are in need of your help.  Financially.
 
HOW I GOT HER:
I was driving to my mom and dad's over a month ago and there is a slew about halfway there.  When I noticed this black dog would run to the road everytime I would go by.(Probably looking for her owners that dumped her).  It broke my heart but I drove past her several times for about 2 weeks.  One day, it was freezing out, I had Scott with me and I had asked him to stop because she was so pitiful by the road.  Well, of course he said "No... we have our own zoo at home."  So I shut-up.  So on  the way home from my mom and dad's we noticed her again and she had popped out of an old broken washing machine thrown out in this slew of a field.  I didn't say anything but that night Scott went back there and stopped to see if she was ok.  Well she was the sweetest thing and her teeth were knocked out and she was limping on her back leg.  He brought her home.  FOR THOSE OF YOU THAT KNOW MY HUSBAND...HE NEVER DOES THIS!!!
She was so skinny and pitiful but so happy and nice.  She is far sweeter than my own dogs.  So what do you do.......  Yes.... I am a bleeding heart for animals.  Come to my house if you don't believe me!
After tugging back in forth between, putting her down with a shot, or putting her down with a bullet, she grew on us.  You guys have no idea how loving this dog is.  So here is my dilemma.
VET BILLS!!
Here is what the Vet Said:
She is about a year old.  She has a shattered hip!  (Could be from a car or maybe from a cow that kicked her in the field she was living in )The ball and socket that is at the hip, the socket part is broken and because it was trying to heal on it's own it is causing "spurs" to form which are jagged and causing her lots of pain (she moans all the time).  She is in heat, oh yea we are having fun at my house, and she is heartworm positive.  She needs her shots and spaying.  He has been great in helping me care for her.
WHAT I HAVE DONE SO FAR:
I have contacted via internet many organizations for homeless animals and I have had luck in getting assistance.  The PBRC is going to donate $75 towards the spaying.  FRIENDS OF HOMELESS ANIMALS is paying for her heartworm treatment and helping with the hip surgery.  I have agreed to pay for the shots and the remainder of her spaying, and pain meds that she needs for a month before surgery.  I have started the Heartworm treatment today and have to take her back tomorrow for her second shot.  I have to keep her locked up and calm for a month in my garage to cure the heartworms.  Plus keep all the boy dogs in the neighborhood away!!!  In 30 days she has her spay and hip surgery.  I then have to continue to keep her calm and locked up so she can heal properly.  I have also agreed to be her FOSTER MOM until I find her a home.  She cannot be put on any websites for adoption until she is fully vetted, shots, spayed, and heartworm free.   
 
EXPECTED COST:
SPAYING $90
SHOTS:$70
HEARTWORM TREATMENT $150.00
HIP SURGERY including x-rays $350.-$400
 
WHAT I NEED FROM YOU!!!
DONATIONS, yes I am asking you all for some help.  Not a lot just whatever you can send. Believe me I really don't like to ask any of you for this but I can't do it all myself.   If you cannot send anything, I am asking for your thoughts and prayers to help me get through this.  Although I am receiving some assistance, for every dollar I can help out with  is another dollar that can go towards another dog or cat in crisis.  I promise I won't pick up another stray!  This baby is just the sweetest most loving thing.  She gets along great with kids and other animals, except my bulldog, he's just a jerk to EVERYTHING!!

My Pet needs your Help for surgery

CLICK HERE to pledge your donation to help Marley

A
week ago, my 6 year old American Bulldog, Marley, was diagnosed with an
ACL injury to his right leg that requires surgery. This same dog
underwent cancer surgery in the Fall of 2007 and did quite well. His
litter-mate/sister, Roxy, had 2 ACL surgeries that cost me a lot, but
they are part of my family and we didn't hesitate to spend the money.


Depending on what the orthopedic surgeon decides, the surgery could
cost anywhere from $1500-$2500 for the standard ACL; $3,000-$3,400 for
the TPLO single plate; and approximately $3,400-$4,500 double plate
TPLO would cost. Due to his size and muscle mass, it is most likely he
will need the TPLO surgery.


Unfortunately, due to the previous surgeries for the illnesses and
injuries to Marley and Roxy, coupled with a recent divorce, finances
are tight. These dogs are our family and we will do anything for them.
We are hoping that pet lovers will understand our circumstance and help
us get the cash we need to repair his torn ACL, as his surgery is
tentatively scheduled for the end of March.


I set my goal at $500 because it would be a big help I would like
to raise more then that to cover the entire cost but any amount will be
a big help for Marley.



If you would like more information or are interested in helping,
feel free to contact me via email at HelpMarley@sc.rr.com. If the
donations received exceed the cost of the surgery, it will be donated
anonymously to the local animal shelter.

Soaker-T needs your help!

CLICK HERE to pledge your donation to help Soaker-T

Soaker-T
is an Olde English Bulldogge who was originally purchased for breeding
to "pay the mortgage" and is an OTI because he is cryptorchid and
requires surgery to correct this. In addition, we recently found out
that Soaker-T has hip dysplasia. He is not even 3 years old yet and is
uncomfortable when he sits. He is well-mannered and gentle, but has
snapped when his rearend was swatted by his former person. Soaker-T
will need therapy and medication for quite some time until it is
decided whether or not his hips will require surgery to correct this
condition. Soaker-T appreciates any donation, no matter how small to
help him get the surgery and therapy he needs.
