YOUR DONATION DOLLARS AT WORK WITH A FEW OF OUR RESCUES (WISH WE HAD THE TIME TO LOAD THEM ALL)! Grab a napkin before you read!
Stella-French Bulldog; a puppy mill survivor who spent 6 years of life in a small cement cage.She chewed her poor little feet so bad they had to be soaked, medicated and bandaged everyday for a month when she was rescued. She had trouble breathing and even regurgitated food and water due to an elongated soft palate, she was still bred! Over $600.00 later her palate was shortened--- her fur regrew--- starting catching on about not potting in her kennel--- she became a shiney Stella and found her furever home in Texas! Cherry -Itialian Greyhound mix; was in an accident and her tear ducts had been ruptered! Bruised and in pain--- she needed surgery! Over $400.00 later and doing great with kennel training -she found her new furever family in St. Louis! Hellen-Chihuahua/Shih Tzu; Sometimes mother nature just makes no sense. I mean, literally makes no sense. This precious little girl, was born with no eye balls!! She is such a bundle of joy and a heartbreaker. She acts so much like a normal puppy, is very playful, and seems perfectly happy! Most amazingly is how well she is doing on potty training!! She had no place to go, and we could not help but to step up and make sure she did not get euthanized. Her adoptive family loves her so deeply in St. Louis!! As the story should always go... HAPPILY EVER AFTER!!! Miss Kitty- Brown tabby cat; "We do not know why the kittens are dying"? If only they had cared enough to turn her over or forbid...pet her... they would have noticed a badly infected case of mastitis, a little obvious to us anyway. Dona-Lab; Cutest- Chihuahua; Selena- Dachshund; Chances-Dachshund/Chihuahua; (Rose- Selena's surviving baby not shown) 5 of 11 found alive after being abandoned and locked in their "people's" trailer all summer. Although Selena had a young puppy with her... she was quite pregnant and burst with adorable babies several weeks after rescue!!! She is happy to be spayed! Dona-- the last of the crew to find her furever home now lives in ST. Louis and gets lot's of attention! It took 3 days to trap these babies... and many many months of recouping!! Poor Dog- Beagle/Pitbull mix; He was barely moving when the rescue found him a few blocks away! he most likely would not have made it through the night if not rescued that fatefull day in June 08'! He had a broken upper jaw and almost his entire body was hairless and covereed in infection. The pictures make him look great... you can not tell how bad he really was! Still awaiting his furever home... MY FOUR BABIES- Mastiff; Oh how I miss you!! Late one evening in Novemeber 09' we found 4 newborn (no longer than 3 days old) cold, starved, puppies with a severe case of aspiration pnumonia in a box at the bottom of the driveway. They were a MIRICLE to keep a live! They wanted to pass away so bad that first week. It took 1 hour and 45 minutes to feed them all... and I had to feed them every two hours!!! Sleep deprived and over $1400 later... they are all living so far away in the best homes... Oklahoma.. 2 are in Ohio.. Washington DC!
