LA/San Bernadino, CA: Bonded pair..dad and his baby need help



These two boys came in together...they are definitely bonded, could be a dad and his baby!  If only they could talk, but look in their eyes.  They are so sad, confused and clinging to each other.  Please help get them out of the shelter for the new year.  Don't let them die there.

WHO AM I?  I am a neutered male, yellow Chinese Sharpei mix.  The shelter thinks I am about 1 year old. We have been at the shelter since December 21, 2011. The ID number below is for me - to ask about my puppy, just tell them he came in with me.

WHERE ARE THEY?  San Bernadino City Animal Control in L.A.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?  Contact the San Bernadino Animal Control at  909-384-1304
Ask for information about animal I.D. number A418516

UPDATE: EXTREMELY URGENT: Two lab mix boys only have hours!


1/1/12 UPDATE: Some wonderful people have stepped up to provide another 14 days boarding for these sweetie pies.  Now lets find them a foster or home! 

Urgent request from Catie Sellars:

"These 2 dogs were found in a parking lot by a woman who worked nearby. She started feeding them and taking care of them.


One day the owners of the building said that the dogs had to go or they were going to call the Memphis Animal Shelter. She got my number from a friend and called me. She offered to pay for their vetting, so we set them up at my vet. They have been fully vetted. Treated for mange, neutered, vaccinated, dewormed...the whole nine yards. They have been found to be HW+, and have had their first month of treatment. All the while this is going on I was searching for a rescue for these boys.


A woman named, Gina Austin, contacted me and offered to take the boys, saying she would be back in town on the 26th and would get them then. Wonderfully generous people donated their boarding fees until then. Well, Gina never showed for them and stopped answering everyone's phone calls. So, now these boys cannot stay at the vet unless someone can donate to their boarding fees.


These dogs will end up at Memphis Animal Shelter to be euthanized if we can't get them into a rescue SOON! I have only got until Dec 31 to figure something out. Please help! We need donations for their boarding and heartworm treatments and they need rescue or adoption! Please, I am desperate!!"

If you can help, please contact Stage Road Animal Hospital @ 901-382-1950 or me-Catie Sellers @ http://us.mc394.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=thatrescuechick@gmail.com

Winder, GA: Precious Pumpkin too scared to even stand up


1/4/12:  Tuesday afternoon update: Little Momma Courtney is safe and going to rescue today! Pumpkin had an outpouring of offers of help - thanks to all who networked & have offered help for her.

Very, very scared Pumpkin is still needing the help of rescue....so fearful, she couldn't even stand up when she first came.  She is doing much better now and truly needs her own home and safe place.  Look how beautiful she is!

WHO AM I?   My name is Pumpkin.  I have been in the shelter since October.  At first, I was so, so scared that I was afraid to stand up.  I wanted to be petted and give kisses, but I was just too scared to do anything other than wag my tail.
Here is what Officer Burrel has to say about Pumpkin:  "She has been here at the shelter since Oct. and really needs to find a good home. She came in so very scared we have not had her available to the public. She was so scared she wouldn't stand up she would crawl to you with her little nub tail wagging as fast as it could. She has made great progress since she has been here but will still need lots of work. Precious girl that we would love to find a local rescue who could help her out. Please if you can help with her please let us know."

Long Island - ROMEO & JULIET Found Tied to a Tree Together, Abandoned.AGAIN!!!

UPDATE: 1/1/12 We have sponsorship to valid rescue or adopter.  Contact enlightened34@ aol.com

Reposting: They Remain in Kill Shelter on Borrowed Time...Dec 28.  Please help keep these two together.

WHO ARE THEY? *From Peg: These two beauties were brought in together as strays by an Animal Control Officer… They were found tied to the same tree. Apparently they had been in our care before and were always redeemed by their owners. Not this time. This time nobody came for them. Romeo is an absolute love whose tail NEVER stops wagging and Juliet is a bundle of nerves until she sees Romeo. Then she is confident going into to play bow and chasing Romeo all over the director’s office. These are going to be dogs who do NOT do well without one another. They have obviously been with each other their whole lives, although Juliet is much younger than Romeo, she has not known life without him. Please consider giving these 2 their forever home TOGETHER. Apart, Juliet will surely crumble and I do believe Romeo will be heartbroken. Can a group take these 2 together and ensure they are adopted together? Or can someone open their homes for these 2? They are more bonded than any two dogs I have ever seen and it is heartbreaking to think they may not be able to get out of here together. Please consider pulling these 2 dogs and helping them stay together. As a municipal shelter, that is something we aren't able to do. Please help them. Please cross post and email blast these guys. We really want these two to go together!!!

KY - Kasey needs your help to get much needed vet procedures


RESCUED BUT KASEY NEEDS YOUR HELP - EVERY DOLLAR HELPS.

CHIPIN: http://cockerrescue.chipin.com/kaseys-eye-surgery

HIS STORY: *From Kim - Kasey has made it to his temp foster here in KY, he goes in on the 21st to get his eye surgery, ears flushed, thyroid checked, neuter, and a dental as well. This poor boy is getting the works and he deserves it. When he arrived he was just as bad off as the pictures show, we have new pictures that will be posted asap, he is as sweet as can be and loves other dogs and people, he listens very well. So far we have started to treat his eye infection and ears, also his dry eye. We feel that his cherry eyes and eye infection are causing Kasey to have trouble seeing sometimes so we are hoping that it will be better once he has had his surgery. Also his skin looks good but he is still missing hair and was itching like crazy we have treated him with revoluntion and he seems to be doing better so we suspect that it was dog lice, that was the only thing he hadn't been treated for at the vets, he had dips and baths and ivermectin but nothing else. Since putting this on him his itching has gone down 90% along with good food, and baths.

If you can donate towards Kasey please do so, he was found as a stray and was brought to the vet clinic in Nashville SC/NC and was treated barely and left to live in this state since August. We hope that now that he is with a wonderful rescue he will get the care he needs but in order to make that happen we need your help, it's hard for any rescue to take dogs like this much less right now with the economy. Every dollar counts and Kasey needs your help. Cherished Cockers is a 501c3, as well as Heart to Heart your donations are tax deductable.

Cottageville WV: Begging for Lucy's life SPONSORED/FREE to rescue, but out of time!


SHE HAS SPONSORSHIP AND TRANSPORTATION, BUT HER TIME IS UP NOW. Please don't let LUCY die for Christmas! WHO IS SHE? She looks like an Anatolian Shepherd/Yellow Lab but is listed as a lab/mastiff; 45 lbs, so not huge, small for a lab. LUCY loves kids (lived with them) and is good with other dogs.  We've got sponsor offers, so she's free to rescue.  She's already spayed and can be held with rescue commitment until the January 7 transport to northeastern states, so you don't even need to worry about trying to squeeze her in over the holidays. Her only issue is she's not good with cats, so she needs a cat free foster/forever home. The shelter is very small with only 12 kennels. They try desperately not to kill for space, but sadly lots of people dump their animals right before the holidays so space is always at a premium this time of year.

WHERE IS SHE? Cottageville WV
HOW CAN YOU HELP HER? Please contact Dreama/Bobbie at JCASGroup-owner@yahoogroups.com TODAY if you can save Lucy.

Atlanta, GA - A little lost boy who's collar reads "My name is Prince. I don't bite, Please love me".

Little Prince needs a home-Atlanta, GA area, Let’s save this boy so he does  not end up  at a shelter and  may never find rescue. URGENT - The folks that found him say they can only keep him for a 1-1.5 weeks longer!

WHO IS HE? This is his story as told by the people that found him on their door step: This little guy showed up on our back porch a few nights ago  (12/3/11). When we found him, he looked to have been sleeping and was settled in for the night.  We thought he would be gone the next day and left him alone.  But when we got up, he was still here, just sitting quietly by our back door.  We checked to see if he had a tag with any info, so we could report him being found, but instead his collar had a message which read "My name is Prince. I don't bite, Please love me".   Looking at him you can see that is really all he wants, to be loved.  Our backyard is not fenced, but he stayed all day and is sleeping in our garage, so finding him a home is urgent.  We have no way to keep him.  Prince is  gentle, friendly and relatively calm for a high energy dog.  He approaches us in a submissive way, but seems to always be wagging his tail.  Prince understands, but is not consistent with some commands, like “sit”, “down” and “stay”, with a little training he would be on track. Prince is a 1 to 2 year old Pit Bull mix


Prince has a sponsor to have him vetted and neutered.  All he needs now is a home to hang his collar, hopefully a new one, message no longer needed.
WHERE IS HE? Atlanta, GA
HOW CAN YOU HELP? *From Jamie: Debbie has paid for Prince to be neutered, vaccinated and heartworm tested. Unfortunately, he's a mild positive -- but I believe treatment is being arranged/funded now. He just needs a nice place to recover during treatment who will foster him until his forever home can be found. If you can help, please please contact Debbie at deb923@bellsouth.net.

AZ Duck & Animal Rescue Needs Food & Supplies to Survive

 EMERGENCY! Gilbert, AZ Duck & Animal Rescue DESPERATE FOR FOOD & donations

On behalf of Tammy Vrettos of Webfoot ResQ, we are sending out a plea for help. Some of you may remember the recent passing of fellow rescuer and Tammy's partner, Dell Gillispie. His untimely death left her with the task for caring for over 300 birds, 75 cats and several dogs. Dell passed away unexpectedly from a heart attack on September 13. He was an integral part of Webfoot ResQ, caring not only for the animals, but also for Tammy in her failing health so she could continue her mission. Tammy is now facing an extreme difficulty in feeding the animals in her care and in foster care, as well as keeping utilities on and a roof over her head. Please, please, please, if you cannot help her, pass this on to others who can. Thank you, Hearts to the Rescue.


Donations accepted through ChipIn: http://webfootrescue.chipin.com/needs-food-to-survive

Tammy will take any kind of cat food, dog food, chicken scratch, poultry crumbles or monetary donations. Or if you are more comfortable, you can donate directly to their vet at http://scottsdaleveterinaryclinic.com/contact/

Centre County, PA: 19 year old deaf cat with lots of love to give


Urgent request:  Sandy was saved at the last minute by this wonderful family, but now their own cat is ill and Sandy does not get along with other cats.  Please help them find the perfect home for Sandy, where she will be the only cat.


WHO AM I?   My name is Sandy and I am 19 years old!  I am deaf, but that does not stop me from enjoying my family and cuddles, even though I really don't care for other cats. I would love a dog friend, though.  Another cat who lives here is sick so my rescuer said I need to go to another home or they might have to send me to a shelter.  Darn...they just saved me from my original owner who wanted to have me PTS (whatever that means) and I was just getting used to everyone. They don't want to send me back there or to a shelter where I could be PTS (??), but they might have to make that decision.

I have been declawed on my front paws so I make very sweet and soft biscuits!  I have been combo tested negative.  All I need is a soft bed, a window sill or a little corner to nap in.  I promise I won't be any trouble .... I am a little grandma cat, you know!
WHERE AM I?  Centre County, PA

HOW CAN I HELP?  Contact m_hintosh@hotmail.com if you can give me a home.
 Crosspost and tell anyone you know who might need a grandma cat to take care of them.

Donate even a dollar (if you can) because this nice family wants to get some bloodwork done to make sure my kidneys are okaye and for food and litter.  http://newringgold.chipin.com/sandy

If you have any doubt about how a senior cat can change your life, take a moment.

Suffolk County, NY: Owner died, loyal dog locked in filthy cellar

A true Christmas miracle, thanks to Tara! 
Here is what she just sent:  "Lucky for Oliver. he was transported to south carolina cocker rescue where he was placed in a loving home with a nice couple who owns other cockers. He is gonna have all his medical problems taking care of. he is already a loved member of the family. Thanks for your help and interest God bless
Tara and Oliver"
My name is Oliver, For five years, I was my owner's best friend.  We went everywhere together. I took care of him and he took care of me.  My owner passed away and so I had to move, but they just threw me in a dark cellar by myself with noone to play with or take care of. I am blind in one eye, but I can see just fine with my good eye.  After several months of living like this, a nice lady climbed down the ladder and took me out of there...well, I'll let her explain:

  
Three days ago I helped rescue an older Cocker out of a basement cellar. It was not a finished basement and to call it a basement at all is wrong. it was more like a cellar with dirt floor, dark and damp.
This older dog was forced to live down there all day and all night. Never to be let out to use the bathroom, his sat in his own filth. He lived to eat and was only given the bare minimum to keep him alive. He was overfed and given water. No daylight or light at all. To get to the cellar there was a ladder, no stairs, so only with assistance could this dog  leave his hell hole.
    Yet, it was not always like this. For five glorious years, this dog was life and heart of an elderly autistic man. He went everywhere with this man. He was even a service dog for emotional support. Anywhere this man when the dog wasn't too far behind. He was groomed regularly, fed a normal diet and just plain good old fashioned loved. The man grew ill and sadly passed away. This is when this Cockers life took a turn for the worst....
    He was to be sent to live with the old man's wicked daughter. She, for whatever reasons, did not really want the dog and put the dog in her cellar. There, he languished for 6 solid lonely months. It was not until the smell of the dog reached the main floor of the home and in-laws noticed. One such family member who reached out to me as I groomed her cavalier regularly.

Athens, AL: Sad Update: 2 Dogs Living in House Alone. People breaking in and poisoning


Sad Update:  Pam made an arrangment with her landlord that she could bring Hunter and Blue to live with her if she found homes for some of her cats.  When she went to get Blue, she was very, very ill and had to be put to sleep.  Hunter is lost without her best friend and Pam is devastated.  In order to keep Hunter with her, she must find homes for two cats.  We will post them soon.

This is urgent...two innocent animals made the victims of not only the economy, but also of criminals taking advantage of someone's misfortune.  Please help their owner help them.

From Pam, their owner:  "I just lost my home of 13 years. Several years ago, I rescued two dogs that I intended to keep for life until I ended up getting a divorce and now losing my home. The bank is coming in any day to take my house.. and I am needing to find my dogs a home so they won't be killed. I have searched desperately for homes for
my girls, but no one wants a full grown dog or a mutt... I don't know what to do... I am desperate for any help or advice that you could give.


Both dogs are  females. One is named Hunter and she is a solid black lab/chow mix. When I first rescued her, she didn't trust anyone. I took her away from an abusive owner. She was being hit and not fed... She is extremely smart and knows simple commands but she doesn't like any other dogs or cats etc... I am assuming this is because she was made to hunt for her food... She is best friends with the other dog that I rescued.
Rest in Peace, Sweet Blue...
we are so sorry
The other dog that I have is a Blue Heeler and her name is Blue She knows a  few simple commands and she craves attention to where she will follow you around then when you stop and sit down then she will come over to you and lean up against you to be petted. She has just started riding in my car with me... I had to leave them both at the house I no longer live in because I am not allowed to have them where I moved. I have friends that go by and check on and feed them. The only free time I get is on the weekends and then I go and spend time with them.  Since this has happened, Hunter has developed trust issues again, and she hasn't had them in years.  What I mean by that is when I am not there, she will lay on the porch and act depressed, then when I get there she will come up and be petted and get her treat, then she runs away to the edge of my property and just lays down away from me... and she never used to act like that.... Then Blue, well, she acts just the opposite... when I show up, she is glued to my side... and when I get in my truck, well that is how she started  taking rides with me... she wouldn' get out of my truck.

Small Gerogia Rescue in Emergency Situation Needing Food

Originally posted in August, things are still dire.  Please help this wonderful group continue to save lives and rescue not only rotties, but other breeds from tiny teacup babies to mastiffs.  Don't think that any amount is too small...it all adds up and every positive intention attracts more help.  Just a click and a moment of your time can make the difference in the life of a trusting animal who would otherwise be abandoned or euthanized.

Click here to make a difference:  http://pamstacia.chipin.com/theyre-desperate-for-food

Pam is also looking for reliable transports to Brady, Texas and Bangor, Maine if you have any suggestions and leads.
And finally, if you are interested in volunteering and/or fostering, please contact her.


On behalf of Pam Bone of the Rural Ga Rottie Animal Rescue, we are sending out a plea for help. They have lost the food donations from Petsmart due to corporate restructuring. The rescue is now facing an extreme difficulty in feeding the animals in her care and is having to turn away other animals in need due to the lack in funds and food. Please read her note below and do what you can to help. Thank you, Hearts to the Rescue.

*From Pam:  Here in Georgia we are unfortunate victims of hard economic times. We generally go through 50-100# of food a day! We've run out of options and cannot afford to purchase the food on our own. The money we do get goes to vetting first and foremost. We are pleading to the community as well as pursuing other companies who may be willing to donate. While we are a smaller rescue, we have joined efforts to form a coalition with other rescues in hopes more mouths to feed would enable us to gain more donations. So here we are, begging, pleading, if anyone has any ideas, suggestions, connections, or even just a can or bag of food, please contact us: ruralgarottierescue@pstel.net. We have puppies to seniors from tiny teacup Chihuahuas to Great Danes, Mastiffs, and of course Rotties! So no food will go wasted. Please consider helping us so we can save lives!  Thank you ~

Horseshoe Bend, AR - Please help little Poohbear and Trixie find a home - they must stay together no matter what.


Please help us get the word out about these two. This is truly a heart breaking and heart wrenching story. We are asking and imploring someone to help them.
WHO ARE WE? We are Trixie and PooBear. Our loving caretakers had us for 7 years, but have both now died. Please give us a chance - we're good dogs as long as we have each other. And we'll be good companions for you and your family.
WHERE ARE WE? Horseshoe Bend , AR. About 2 1/2 hours north of Little Rock, 1 hour east of Mountain Home, and 1 1/2 hours west of Jonesboro
HOW CAN YOU HELP US? Contact SillySetters1@aol.com

THEIR SAD STORY: *From Susan: I'm asking for help for two senior dogs whose owner has died. Trixie and PoohBear had been with this couple, Dan and his wife, since they were pups, seven years ago. Last year the wife died. In the summer Dan learned he was dying, and asked for help with the dogs. Two weeks ago Dan died. Each dog has been placed in a home, but with no success. Trixie absolutely ran away from everyone, and is a very fearful girl. PoohBear was with a couple for a week, and they said she was 95% perfect, but her seperation anxiety made it impossible for them to keep her. She cut herself badly pulling down blinds after losing three teeth in a crate trying to get out. Now, they are both in Animal Control, perfectly content as long as they are together. Would you have any room for them in your rescue? They need to stay together. Both are healthy and spayed. PoohBear has been fully vetted. Trixie would need to be vet checked. We would be able to make a donation to help with that.
