Hoppy is at Dr. Derricksons under Jan Dacci's account. If you can help Hoppy, please call Dr. D's office, info in listing, or use Hoppy's special paypal buttons in his listing. Contact Jan, in the cc, if you can take Hoppy after he is better.

Jan says: "The state police called about a large beagle that had been hit by a car on I-64. A couple said he was lying in the middle of the road and unable to get up. They stopped and picked him up and took him to the state police, who then called me. Both his left legs are broken and I'll know Monday if his rear leg can be repaired with pins, or needs to be amputated. Hopefully the front leg can be repaired with a splint."

**I am so grateful these kind people stopped in their travels to pick Hoppy up, and got him to the state police! No telling how many people drove right by and never gave a second glance at this poor suffering creature.**

Critter Crossings Needs Emergency Funds for Surgery, Diva, 3 month old Pit Mix

Darling pit puppy with fracture of distal left humerus involving elbow joint. Will need surgery. It looks like it just happened within the last two days. Owner surrendered because they could not afford repair. Puppy can be picked up Now and we have x-rays available.

She was dropped off at the shelter by her owners who could not afford her care, we were contacted on Friday afternoon. One of our volunteers left our Dog Walk Fundraiser early on Saturday to drive to Orange County before the shelter closed.

She arrived here on Saturday night, apparently in pain from a leg that was broken on either Wednesday or Thursday prior to being dumped at the shelter.

Off to our vet she went on Monday morning but our vet could only administer medication to ease her pain with a recommendation to see a specialist, which she did this afternoon thanks to another volunteer who just dropped her off in West Los Angeles.

Here's where you come in...
Diva is having emergency orthopedic surgery TOMORROW MORNING.

Estimate on surgery is no higher than $2500
Supplements are $80 per month

She has a chance to be a normal, playful puppy again and not suffer any longer.

Please consider donating anything you can, pass this along to your friends, coworkers, neighbors and see if we can raise enough money to help Diva, who is super sweet, affectionate and so deserving of our help. We've got the passion, we've got the love and will give her the best care we can, where we are short is the funds.

A lady I know picked up a dog on the side of the road she thought was
dead, only to her suprise he was still alive. She took him to the vet and
found out he had a broken back. She can't afford a specialist but has been
doing some homeopathic stuff and the dog is starting to use one of his back
legs now. The women is now mentally unstable and is threatening to euthanize
him because she can't deal with him anymore.

This is a little pomeranian mix, ver loving and sweet, and believe it
or not a happy little boy. Her worker made him a cart out of pieces of a
broken stroller, and he gets around, but it is breaking and could really
benifit from a real cart for dogs. The vet has seen and believes he will in
time regain the use of his legs and walk again. He is only 1-2 years old and
they named him scooter. If anyone knows any dog rescue people I can plead
with please let me know asap! She is very unstable so time is of the
essence!!!!

Older Blind Labbie Abandoned and Now Needs Rescue -- Cartersville, GA

This girl is so sweet and gentle I cannot believe she
ended up here. She is blind and is lost with all the
scary sounds and smells of the large shelter. She
finally found her way to my voice and gently nuzzled
her face into my hands. She looks as if she gave
someone a lot of love and loyalty and now she has been
abandoned. I hope there is someone with a heart large
enough to see the goodness still left in her.

Society only if a serious application is received.
She will then begin medical attention (shots,

PLEASE KEEP CROSS POSTING--NO HELP SO FAR---TIME IS RUNNING UP FAST!

NEED YOUR TAX-DEDUCTIBLE DONATIONS TO HELP SAVE TIGER'S LIFE!


Little Terrier mix "TIGER" has not left Jim's side for 4 years. Now they might face separation forever, and Tiger might have to be euthanized.

Jim and Tiger need your help!

Jim O'Conner is a gentle man with white beard, making him look almost like Santa Claus. And that is his favorite thing to do: To make children happy during Christmas by giving out gifts as Santa Claus. Jim can only drag himself around the tiny trailer he and Tiger live in. Jim has Cerebral Palsy, a neurological disorder that appears in infancy or early childhood and permanently affect body movement and muscle coordination. Jim can't walk and has nobody to help him, to take care of himself. Only Tiger is there for him!

I have known Jim for 2 years now, he has helped out a lot in the community of Hawthorne, (Los Angeles) CA. He used to volunteer his time as a commentator at the local High School Football games. He now receives free tickets to sports games and Circus' performances, that he gives out to the children in the neighborhood.

Due to his disability and the fact that the trailer park he lives in, will be closed down shortly, Jim has been accepted into an assisted living program. They will allow him to take his little dog Tiger under certain conditions.

THIS IS WHERE WE NEED YOUR HELP: Tiger has never been walked on a leash, he pees and poops inside the trailer, he is not very socialized with people (he only loves Jim), he is not neutered and never had a bath!

WE NEED YOUR TAX-DEDUCTIBLE DONATION TO SEND TIGER TO BLUE DOG RANCH IN BURBANK, CA. Trainer David Rowe is willing to train Tiger so that he can continue to live with Jim and I will arrange for Tiger to be neutered, vaccinated, micro-chipped and bathed.

The training at Blue Dog Ranch will cost $50 per day and Tiger needs to stay there for at least 2 weeks. That is $ 700! It will save Tiger's life!

Adorable 1 year old Dachshund X with healed broken foot South Los Angeles Shelter

Impound:A858955 S.L.A. shelter phone:(213)485-0119 or 0117

This sweet, young Dachshund X has a front foot that was severely broken and went untreated until it healed. It is now longer than the other foot. Some might turn away from this because she is not "perfect" but some might be drawn to the fact that this dog, just one year old, has suffered so much in her short life and might want to see that she never suffers again.
It is to those people that I write this; she is such an adorable young dog. She has these gentle brown eyes that want to please so much; she loved the little treats I gave her and she took them so daintily from my hand. She had the most beautiful, perfect little face and we all laughed when she poked her head out of her cage and turned to look at the dog in the cage next to her.
She is just a baby still and so helpless. Please rescue her and make sure she gets the forever home she so deserves.

CT: Blind, abandoned young kitty needs a person to love and be loved

Hi Everyone,
Amazing Grace is on our website www.listnow.com/helpingpaws as well as Petfinder. Please feel free to print out and post at your work, vets' offices, anywhere that you think could get Grace a great home.
Thanks very much.

Hercy hlord@snet.net

Amazing Grace is such a sweet, pretty young cat. She does everything cats do. She loves her dry and canned food, chases and catches the feather wand toy, uses the turbo scratcher, and her litter box. She likes to hear you talk to her, be petted, and she shows her affection by gently touching your hand with her mouth.
What is totally amazing about her is that she is completely BLIND! GRACE SEES WITH HER HEART! Someone abandoned her which was a mean thing to do, and the large shelter that took her in thought she might be overlooked due to her blindness. Helping Paws was glad to assist, and her foster mother says she is a wonderful cat. Within a few minutes in her large 6 ft by 6 ft enclosure, she knew where the food and water bowls were, her toys, scratcher, bed and litter box. She climbs up on the 3 wooden perches all the way to the highest one and takes a nap. Grace knows when the other cats come up to visit her and her hearing is very acute. She does not hiss or growl at any of them. Grace is Leuk/FIV negative, vaccinated, wormed and spayed.
We want a loving, permanent home with someone who will be with Grace a lot, because she does like human company. Grace is fine with one or two mellow cats. Vet references required please. Call 860-434-4328.

Norcross, GA. - 3 legged abandoned cat!

I as looking at a house in Norcross for sale, and was greeted by a cat on the back porch. He has 3 legs, and has been living at this vacant house for a while now.
Apparently the people that moved used to feed him. and was just a "neighborhood" cat.

Well now they have moved to Texas, and poor Buster (apparently that is his name) is out in the cold, and has no one to care for him. Between myself and the realtors going in and out of the house, he has been getting some food and water, but not a regularly as he should. He also has NO shelter! I think he is a little bit older cat, and he only has 3 legs. He has grey and white short hair. He seems very healthy and is SUPER FRIENDLY!
If someone out there can foster him, I will get him completely vetted! I'm begging PLEASE help get this guy out of the cold!! I can take some pictures and send soon if anyone is interested.

Please email me at: SarahAnn728@comcast.net (at comcast.net).
I would be willing to make a donation as well is someone can help!

Culver City, CA - "MORO" - Boxer with tumor on his rib needs HELP

Subject: Fwd: Deborah's Boxer Needs HELP, PLEASE!!!


Deborah is a student I met just recently.  She needs help for her Boxer who has a tumor on his rib and some others that needs to be removed.  She doesn't have all the funds and needs help.  She's a great girl and loves her dog.  She needs the help of the rescue community, if possible.  I know everyone is tapped out but any amount will help this student and the love of her life, Moro.  She is desperate and she would be so grateful.
Please read the attached.  Any amount will help - $5, $10 anything.
 
Please read her story and see Moro's picture which is attached.
 
My name is Deborah Herrera and I have a male Boxer by the name Moro.  I love my dog so much that it hurts me seeing him with a tumor on the side of his ribs. 
 
Moro is seven years old and he is a healthy happy energetic dog that I know of, but my problem is that I do not have the finance to cover the expenses due to the fact that I am a full time student at Santa Monica College.  
 
Fox Hills Animal Hospital would be the place my dog would get the surgery.  His tumor has grown rapidly and it hurts me because I wish I had the money to do it.  The Vet. estimated that the cost would come up to $500 and up.  I have saved some but not that much and I don't see how I would do it. 
 
Moro is my best friend I have had him since he was a puppy.  He means so much to me because I saved my own money as a child to buy him.  Moro had a surgery in the past with the same condition, and I paid it at first, but now it seems too hard because I don't have a job and I have a single parent.  
 
I don't want to put him to sleep now because he is still the happiest dog and he makes me happy every time I come home from school.  Please I am going through hardships at this moment and I wouldn't want to lose my best friend.
 
If you need to contact me at my e-mail at preciousgal58@aol.com (@aol.com) or my private number is (310) 415-8866.

Calhoun, KY. - Vetting Donations Needed for Coonhound mix - Large tumor on neck!


Daniel is at the McClean County Animal Shelter in Calhoun, KY.

http://search.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=7899196


A sad case at the shelter...Daniel. Daniel's story with animal control starts approximately a year ago. Last summer I received a call about a pack of dogs at a house in a small community in the county. In the pack of dogs was a beautiful blue eyed coonhound mix. This boy who I have named "Daniel" was among the smartest and quick witted boys in the pack. As the other members of the pack were trapped or captured one by one, Daniel always figured a way to outsmart me.

Over the last year I have been told many stories about Daniel. Residents in the small community report Daniel has been around for many years...up to 4-5 years. Not one person ever told me where they thought he belonged or knew anything about his history.


Stories were told of how Daniel sits on the street corners and wanders from yard to yard searching for scraps or kibble belonging to owned dogs. Stories were told of how people would chase him off time after time often sending their kids on bikes to chase him away. Daniel always came back. Stories were told of how Daniel would come back and sit across the street or at the edge of the yards and watch people play with their own dogs. Stories were told about citizens that have tried to catch him and some that stated they have tried to kill him using poison...some said they have shot at him. Stories were also told by kind citizens that tried to win his trust to make friends with him to take him in and give him a home or help. Stories were told about how Daniel has been seen wandering all over the town even into parts of the county far away.

Our county ordinance clears states that any dog that is at large that cannot be trapped or captured humanely, has to be destroyed by gunshot. I was determined not to have this dog destroyed. Finally on Saturday we along with several local citizens were able to dart Daniel and trail him. Of course Daniel didn't give up. Running to some familiar place that he might have called "home" Daniel was spotted and picked up. On Sunday morning after the drugs have worn off Daniel was not a happy camper. Daniel growled harshly to let us know he was not happy with his predicament. We were at first very concerned about his future since he has been basically a feral dog for many years. We wondered if he could ever learn to trust the very thing he feared most..people. We had a small very small break through on Sunday afternoon. We realized that Daniel was bluffing. Calling him on his bluff I entered his kennel to take pictures, change his water, give him more food and take pictures. As I was milling about and speaking to him softly he gently wagged his tail ever so slightly several times. When I "got" him doing this he stopped and looked at me as to say... "I wasn't wagging my tail..me...not me". I think that with time he might learn to trust people that treat him kindly and with respect.

Daniel appears to be about 6-7 years old...just a wild guess. His teeth are in pretty good shape. He is about 45 pound, but needs to gain weight of course. He appears that he is a Walker Coonhound mix. He has very beautiful blue eyes. Daniel also has a cyst on his neck. It is not hard or attached to the muscle. It feels like fluid filled sack. Local citizens have reported that every since he has been around he has had the cyst. Daniel needs to be seen by a vet and desperately needs a place to go.

**If anyone can help with Daniel please email: ranash9@aol.com (@aol.com), or call: 270- 273-3521 (anytime), or: 270- 316- 8127 (daytime). He just needs a chance. Daniel is a survivor, and this needs to be the last battle in his life.. a fight for a real life.

**Please contact ashley at: ranash9@aol.com (@aol.com) (at aol.com).

OHIO. needs medical help!!!, Deaf Pit with a broken leg in Madison County,

Spud needs some help with medical expenses for his broken leg from a rescue will take him but needs some help with funding (read her message below.) Donations to VCA Sawmill at 614-766-2222 and asks for Karie, she will put the pledges for Spud s Fund. If needing to ask some questions or interesting to adopt Spud, please contact with Betty at betty@madisonhumane.org Thanks for helping him.. Thanks, Cathy ----------- Hi Cathy,

Here are pictures of Spud. his femur in his back right leg is what is
broken. if it is a clean break with neuter would be around $150 to
$200. If it is a fragmented or splinted break which would need a
plate, pens, and neuter, it would be around $500.00.

I should know more on monday or tuesday. I do have a wonderful pit
rescue Measles Animal Haven who has lots of foster homes and
volunteers willing to take him. They just don't have funds to fix the
leg. I personally know Robin the director of the rescue. They are so
great with pit bulls. She has rescued several from us.

So if we can get some funds raised to help this boy, then she would
be able to take him.

I know the home he came from had kids (ages 7 and up), loves other
dogs, loves cats too much. owner said, she was not sure if he would
really hurt one but might since he is strong and a pup. he has been
mr. happy go lucky at the shelter.

As for surgery, it will be done if funds are raised at VCA Sawmill in
Columbus. I am going to ask them if they will set up an account for
us for him so folks who want to donate could by credit card to them.

thanks much,
betty

TX, Houston: Two special-needs cats needing homes right away

Can somone help this man with taking in or placing these cats right
away? They were strays that he nursed back to health.

He has a very ill brother coming to live with him and the cats would
aggravate the brother's health problems. He only has a couple of days
to find a place for them. He has tried in the past to find homes for
them, but now he is really pressed for time to do so.

---- Debra Van Matre

Marshall Banks < mabanks@houston.rr.com

Debra, thanks for your response. my brother is coming
here sometime in the next 10 days. Your list is
overwhelming. I have contacted many on the first two
pages at least once in the past year. Some I left
messages and they never called back. One had a message
not to ask about leaving a cat. Many said they had all
the cats they could care for, like your situation right
now. I have left adoption notes at about 4 vets offices.
my vet has asked several agencies for me. Part of my
problem is I work about 90 hours per week. I just got in
at 4:30 AM this morning and I'm leaving in about 30
minutes and will be gone until about 3 AM tomorrow.

My intent with these cats when my son first found them
was to get them healthy and then find a nice home for
them. I have been "fostering" them for two years. I am
not even a cat person obviously because of my life-long
allergies to them. I really like them but simply can no
longer keep them.

I am so serious about my brother's health and preventing
him from sneezing, I am having 2700 sq.ft. of wall to
wall carpet ripped out Monday and ceramic tile
installed. But, to keep the cats even after the carpet
is gone would severely defeat the purpose of removing
the carpet in the first place. Bottom line, my brother's
health means too much to me to see it jeopardized by
keeping the cats no matter how much I like them. I have
always had the option of the SPCA, and they told me
right up front they would put the cats to sleep within
24 hours of being dropped off because no one visiting
them would be willing to adopt an adult male cat with
either a hearing or vision problem.

We all have to go to that "litter box in the sky". I
have done my best to place them but just can't devote
the energy most people could because I work so much. I
will pay dearly to see them placed in a loving home, but
I can't wait too much longer. Thanks, Marshall Banks

Richmond, VA: Can anyone help FOOTS? SWEET Lab/Mastiff mix -- sad story!

This poor boy so needs a second chance -- can anyone help him? The Richmond City Shelter is great to work with and is rescue friendly! Please email me at tierbee@cox.net (@cox.net) or tierbee@aol.com (@aol.com) if you can help. Shelter website is http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/VA126.html . Transport help is available -- please crosspost! THANKS! Erin Silks/Transport Coordinator Fairfax, VA Hullo there.... my name is Foots and I've had a rough go of it lately. My long time owner recently passed and I was so distraught about it that I tried to jump thru a hole in a fence and got caught in it and gave myself a big gash in my abdomen. It's no wonder that I didn't fit as I'm a biggun' at around 80 pounds or so. That's the only reason they call me a Lab-Mastiff mix, because I'm jumbo-sized. I don't really have a jumbo personality though and actually seem pretty low-key and just major-league bummed out most of the time. I seem to be fine around any other critters I meet and am okay with you people types once I know that you are my official scratcher and buddy. I'm an older dude at around at least 8 or 9 years old and still healing up from my injury but I should be just fine. Come on down and meet me today if you are looking for a calm and loving older companion.

Male
Euth Feb 14th


This sweet boy was hit by a car friday night and is in urgent need of medical attention. If you can help save this boy please contact the shelter immediately.
I was not able to tell what type of injuries he has as I didn't want to hurt him anymore than he already is. He is very scared.
The shelter doesn't have funding for vet care. This is his only chance.



This is a wonderful shelter and one of the cleanest I have ever been in.
Please help them out and adopt or rescue from them today.

contact the shelter immediately or better yet just show up before it's

unbelievable.
An unfortunate cause to those who don't spay or neuter their pets.

Chatsworth, GA - dog with spatial distortion needs help/home

"Faith" shortly after her rescue – See attached photos for photos taken within the last several days. IF ATTACHMENT DOES NOT COME THRU PLEASE EMAIL lisakhester@bellsouth.net (@bellsouth.net) FOR LATEST PICS !!

The Georgia Partnership for Caring is asking for your help with a truly "special needs" dog.

As many of you will remember, an urgent email went several weeks ago about an extremely emaciated dog at the Murray County Animal Shelter in Chatsworth, GA that had been abandoned and left to starve to death when the owner was taken to a nursing home.

GPA agreed to take Faith (as she was named). They discovered she has motor skill impairment, spatial distortion (i.e., does not always realize how close or far objects are) and is blind in one eye. Occasionally, she falls or bumps into walls. YET, at the same time…and this is important!!…she does not seem to be in any distress, wags her tail quite a bit, and loves attention. Everyone who has worked with her falls in love with her and thinks she is very sweet!!!

She also has begun to gain her weight back again.

GPA's volunteer veterinarian took Faith to the Georgia Veterinary Specialists Clinic for an evaluation by a neurologist veterinarian . He concluded that she has a significant brain injury, but is uncertain of its cause. He's not sure if her condition will get better, worse or stay the same.

The GPA folks believe Faith has gotten better since she first came in. She seems to walk more easily, and even has begun to climb stairs.

Because she is such a sweet and precious girl, GPA would like to find Faith an adoptive home. Clearly, the potential adopter(s) needs to have both a huge heart as well as a realistic understanding of what it will be like to care for this sweet, disabled dog for her entire life.


She can probably be placed in a home with a passive/submissive dog, but should not go into a home with a more aggressive dog, cats or small children.

Many people responded to the original plea for help for this dog, and we are now asking for your assistance .

First, please let GPA know if you are interested in adopting Faith by contacting GPA at 770 664 9123 or GPA@gpanimals.com (@gpanimals.com)

Second, financial donations for her care would be greatly appreciated. Thus far, her vet care has exceeded $1,000, which has seriously impacted GPA's limited funds that are needed to care for their other animals. (GPA is a very new organization and has yet to build a significant financial base.)

To contribute, please send your check to Georgia Partnership for Animals, 4895 Candacraig, Alpharetta, GA 30022. Write "Faith Fund" in the check memo line or in a cover note. Or, you can contribute through Pay Pal at: GPA@gpanimals.com (@gpanimals.com)

Thanks for your consideration for helping this deserving dog.
