Please help change this sad story to a happy one for little Chip, a paralyzed, almost forgotten doxie.

WHO IS HE? Chip is a 6 y/o dachshund, UTD on all vaccines, neutered and special needs (paralyzed- needs expressing) that was neglected for most of his life.
WHERE IS HE? Connecticut
HOW CAN YOU HELP? Contact Toni Diamond if you are interested in adopting.  Tkdiamond@aol.com or call her at 856-498-8166.

Chip has the saddest face and eyes I've ever seen. They speak volumes and tell the story of a life that has been very heartbreaking. He is not demanding, he is grateful, he wants nothing more than LOVE.

CHIP'S STORY: Chip is six years old but I don't believe there was any time that life was easy for him, even before he became paralyzed. His life in a home with a family did not last long because when he fell off the couch and became paralyzed, his family did not want to keep him.  He was posted on Craig's list and quickly found another home - but that home also was short lived.  In only a few weeks he was posted on Craigs List again because his care was more than this person had bargained for.  And, so Chip was picked up by a rescue from North Carolina and placed in what they believed to be a great foster home in Queens, NY.  The person who fostered
Chip collected money monthly from the rescue for his care....he was a paycheck.  Little love or caring was provided.  Details about his existence would only break your heart- so, we will only post the obvious;
1.  Chip was never vaccinated in the two years he spent with ...

Yonkers, NY: Prince needs rescue by Sunday 9/11, surrendered because owner is terminally ill.

PLEASE HELP THIS FRIGHTENED BOY FIND A NEW HOME.*From Leslie: Would you consider helping a cocker from NY? he is 2 years old and was surrendered because of a terminally ill owner...he will be pts on Sunday unless I find a rescue...the shelter is very crowded and the dog is terrified...he is definitely getting better than he was 3 weeks ago and He has  always been dog friendly. He is cage aggressive, probably because he is afraid. He is walked by a staff member who has no problem at all, he is ok with dogs. He never bit anyone. He is definitely getting better, but the shelter is so crowded, they can't keep dogs who have any issues. Thanks Leslie McCauley. Yonkers shelter

L.A., CA shelter-LAST CALL FOR JOYOUS HATTIE! video below of the happiest dog ever

WHO IS SHE? HAPPY HATTIE Hattie  (A1239684, just a year old, 52 pounds) is as happy as they come.  The only problem is -- she's in ISO with URI!  Hattie is actually 90% lab  --  though her photos here just don't show it  (black dogs are so difficult to capture).  She's the physical fitness queen at the shelter, begging for someone to run with her, to take her to the beach so she can chase the waves.  She hasn't hit the gym yet but, with her HIGH energy level, she'd be up for trying.  Originally kenneled with another dog, Hattie is now alone.  She wants to PLAY, is a bit dominant, but can take other dogs jumping on her as well without flinching.  Hattie would do well with some etiquette training, no doubt.  Don't let this dynamic girl die.  Visit her at the shelter and see if you aren't bowled over by Hattie.  Here's her video :

UPDATE: BUDDY MUST FIND A NEW HOME RIGHT AWAY, PLEASE HELP

UPDATE: SITUATION IS BECOMING MORE URGENT TO FIND BUDDY A NEW HOME.  
*From Mary: Buddy loves to be scratched behind the ears. When he is inside he lays right next to the air vent in the kitchen. He takes his medicine extremely well (it's always wrapped in a piece of cheese). He loves raw hide chews and being around people. I really think he would do best in a home where he is the only male dog. This may be because he is still in tact or just because he is used to that situation. He is very good about going outside. He knows that when we leave he has to go out and that he also sleeps outside. We can't leave him inside as much as we want to because he and our male dog do not get along. He is improving so very much. He is taking his HeartGuard monthly slow kill pill as well as 20 mg of prednisone once a day. The situation with our male dog, Charlie, and Buddy seems to be heightening. I have to find Buddy a home as soon as possible before a fight happens with not so good results.
WHO AM I? My name is Buddy. I found these really nice people who tried to find where I came from, but noone seems to be looking for me. I was kind...

LA,CA: Rudy 6 yr old Belgian malanois/Sheepdog- gentle giant - Owner wept as he left him there.

*From Linda:"He needs love!  He's large but gentle and he needs love!"  Those were the words that Rudy's owner wrote when he relinquished Rudy to the West Los Angeles Animal Shelter on July 19, 2011.  He was ill and could no longer care for his 6 yr. old Belgian Sheepdog.  How heartbreaking that must have been for him and for Rudy who now hopes that someone will see what a magnificent dog he is and want him for their own. VIDEO: http://doggiematchmaker.blogspot.com/2011/08/rudy-a1233080-large-but-more-to-love.html WHO IS HE?

SWEET LITTLE KATTY HAS A FUREVER HOME BUT NEEDS HELP WITH MEDICAL BILLS

WHO IS SHE?  This is KATTY (*From Karen: I just had this kitten rescued from Death Row in NYC.  The rescue organization that pulled her for me set up a Chip in to raise funds for her immediate, necessary vet care.)  

KATTY is as all kittens should be, active and curious, but sadly, her curiosity ended up with her becoming injured--possibly an electrical cord burn. (The shelter will kill for less so KATTY really needed her friends. Fortunately she was pulled by our HEARTS rescue member Karen.)

KATTY WAS RESCUED - AUGUST 2011 (at this link, mouse over her photo for more information about her)

NOW KATTY HAS A FUREVER HOME, but help is needed with her medical bills, etc. that were incurred during her isolation and treatment.

Please click the title to be directed to a ChipIn link that exists to help raise funds to help pay for medical bills for Katty and two others.

Back in April, I got into a scuffle with a raccoon and found myself at the King George Animal Control place. There was some talk that I might have to die because I might have been exposed to rabies, and no one knew if I was current on rabies vaccines or not. I was scared!  It turns out Virginia is one of the states with the highest number of reported rabies cases, and raccoon’s account for ... Read more about Quentin ....

EMERGENCY! Rescue Dogs In Georgia DESPERATE FOR FOOD! Purina/Petsmart Donations Stopped! National Interest!

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


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 and Nestle-Purina 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 ~

Transport available.  *From Pam: We had to put my mom in a nursing home due to the progression of her Alzheimer's. As a result we are now trying to find a home for her cat. She is a sweet, healthy cat, approx 7 yrs Old and spayed. She is about 20 pounds. She is an indoor cat, and would do best in a quiet home.  She is shy at first, but LOVES to be combed and pet. At night she loves to be by her owner watching TV curled up next to you. During the day she has her own bed which seems to be her preference. She is a great companion. She seems to be heart broken, we swear she knows what's going on! (Of Course she DOES!!!)

 UPDATE: FOSTERED!  *From Christine: Kola, whose mom lost her job and her home, needs a foster home until his mom gets settled and then she will take him back.  This arrangement could end up being permanent, although her original intention is to take him back when she can.  Kola recently had a red growth on one of his eye removed which left him 75% blind in that eye.  His other eye is approximately 45% blind.  He gets along ok, but if it is dark, he does not see very well and looks for his owner and sister for comfort.

The original owner of the three dogs moved years ago and left the dogs with the tenants who were supposed to care for the dogs. They DIDN’T. They left them in the garage or outside, threw bags of food on the ground for them to eat, and the garage was covered with waste. They all were flea and tick infested and horribly matted-- but miraculously HW negative.  Finally a friend of the original owner became aware of the horrible...

UPDATE: IN FOSTER CARE BUT STILL NEED A PERMANENT HOME.

WONDERFUL UPDATE *From Monica: I have some fabulous news....after 6 long months (with an AMAZING foster mom) Roxy and Gizmo have a new forever home. Which I could not be more excited about! We had so many applicants and so many emails & calls. But, my foster group was really tough and they cut out all of the fruitcakes until the right family came along! So, thanks again for your help in trying to find my pups a home, I am extremely grateful. Bless you and your group for all that you do to help the animal community! UPDATE: ROXIE AND GIZMO ARE IN FOSTER CARE WITH A VOLUNTEER FROM ANGEL DOGS. THEY STILL NEED A PERMANENT HOME THOUGH. PLEASE RETURN FOR UPDATED CONTACT INFO.  *From Monica: I am in desperate need of help in finding a new home for my 2 dogs. Roxie - Female, black and tan min pin, 7.5 years old, approx 19 - 20 lbs, spayed  Gizmo - Male, chocolate and cream chihuahua, 7.5 yeards old, also 19-20 lbs, neutered --- I have had them since since I was able to take them about 8 weeks of  age. I am afraid that I may have to separate them, but am so hoping I do not have to. The reason I must find a new home is *my son is extremely allergic to them.* He has puffy, red eyes, sneezes, and has raised red rashes on his body daily, which he scratches intensely. I give him children's Claritin and he has gone through a number of prescription creams, which one is applied almost daily. I have waited as long as I can, waiting... MORE INFO AND PHOTOS
