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 PERSON:  rosiemauzy@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?

An older longhair dilute calico who is almost completely blind. Husband claims that his ex "up and left them" and he is more of a dog person. The calico urgently needs to find a safe place!

The cats are scared of the guy's two dogs who he prefers and allows in the trailer. Please email me if you can help.

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,

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.

Impound 896658, 3 months female pup

 

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.

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:

www.spaohio.org

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!
