Raleigh NC CAROLINA PLEASE PLEASE ADIAN COULD REALLY USE SOME HELP HERE PLEASE!!!!!

Desperate situation - Adian needs a few months in a foster home, please!

Dear Whom This May Concern,
This is a extreme long shot but i am in need of some assistance or if you could connect me with someone that can help... On January 10th, 2013, my dog Adian and i were going out like we do every night. My neighbor just happened to be taking his dog off leash and i had said to him that there is a Raleigh leash law, and we all have to abide by it because we live 5 mins. from downtown Raleigh, we are the heart of Raleigh. He began to get "Ugly" (raising his hands and shouting etc) when he raised his hand it looked as if he was going to strike myself or my dog. My dog reacted and went towards him, my neighbor claims "he bit him" but when i looked at his hand there was no mark... i went up to my apartment crated Adian and got my roommate to approach my neighbor to speak on this event. There was again no mark, twenty to thirty minutes later he apparently called Animal Control (understandable, in a way). When Animal Control got there, the officer claimed there is a mark, and that because my rabies paperwork for Adian is no where to be found (due to my ex being the one that was caring for Adian originally). So i was told by the Animal Control Officer that i could get Adian in ten days,etc. I waited out the days, and spoke with Karen Rogers, and she allowed to me pick him up on the 19th due to my boyfriend (TDY'ing - military training- The only reason my bf cant take him is he is getting basically deployed on state side terms) on the 20th. We took Adian to Asheville to stay with my cousin... I was under the impression that Adian would be staying in doors, and taken out, etc. normal dog care in my opinion. But i was wrong, he has him staying outside, and is attached to like a clothes line with a wire coming down that allows him to run back and forth. Not what i was expecting. My cousin said this is the best option for a lab mix, and thats what big dogs need and all this other nonsense.( Now, my cousin told me i have a week to find him a new place of residence...01/25/13)
Needless to say i am not happy.. So now i am back to square one. My rental company will not allow Adian back on property (nor will they refund me the 250 i paid for him to reside here), and will not allow me to end my lease early. I have till April left on my lease, and am i looking to see if anyone can help by fostering him- preferrably a home where he would be the only animal. he has grown up with a chihuahua that i currently have but that seems to be the only dog that he feels comfortable with in our home. If anyone was able to help i would provide, His XXL crate,food,treats,toys,bedding etc. for him and i am also willing to pay a little something for his keep, i cant pay to much but i am willing to try to do what i can. I know it is a long shot because in the rescue world finding a single dog available foster is scarse but i am asking for any help. Please, i can provide refrences regarding his temperment, and anything else that is needed, and if anyone can help it would be as temporary as possible..
Please, if you know of anyone who can help it would be greatly appreciated..
Thank you,
Chantel

Ashland City,TN: Roscoe is out in the cold, just another $175 to save him

Halfway there to be able to bring Roscoe to a warm home.

"Hi Friends,

We are almost halfway to Roscoe’s goal with $150 of the required $325 to get him to a warm home…. We need $175 more by 2/2 to get his vetting and transport paid for his ride on 2/9. We’ve had some questions about the cost of the vetting; the breakdown of his vetting is: $20 for HW test, $30 for the health certificate and $60 for the vet visit as he is in a rural area. Total/$110. If he were in a local area we could indeed get this at a lower price, but that is not an option due to timing and the

HELP SWEET COCO FIND A GOOD HOME. 

*From Karen:  Hello everyone,
Unfortunately the person I thought could give Coco a permanent home can't - so I am asking for help again with posting her, cross posting her info and in general, finding her a home.  The last 6 months she has been cared for at the riding stables of a fellow fosterer where a 17 yr old teenager who worked there wanted to keep her. Unfortunately the girl's mother won't allow her to have her at home. That was OK as it was ok for Coco to stay at the stables - but now the owner is about to sell the property and move to Connecticut. So other arrangements need to be found for the dog. Thank you, Karen 

Coco, a 1& 3/4 yr old Catahoula mix needs to find a permanent or foster home asap. She is spayed and utd on vaccines. She is smart, affectionate, loyal, playful and full of energy. She probably will do best as an only dog. She has been around cats but she chases them and they don't like that much. 

Contact Karen for more info or to make arrangements to meet.

Long Island, NY: A SERIOUS PLEA FOR HELP FOR A FELLOW RESCUER

One of our fellow rescuers needs help! Please read her plea below. We at Hearts to the Rescue received this note from Trudy regarding a desperate plea for help for a fellow rescuer, Amy Meachum. Please crosspost, share and donate if you can. Every dollar can make a huge difference. 

*From Trudy: Amy Meachum is a stand out long time, seasoned rescuer. She is now needing our collective help for her rescues. She now as 40 cats...mostly Seniors, semi ferals and the ones who No One wanted. She and her husband have come upon Very, Very hard financial times. 
Let's rally a Huge Cat Food Collection on behalf of her beloved kitties. 
If you can purchase food or pet store gift cards she will be able to feed them one day at a time. This kind, compassionate woman needs help with cat food now. 
Contact Amy if you can HELP. amy.meachum@gmail.com
Please & Thank You, Trudy

*From Amy:  Dear All:

Today I lost the ONLY source of financial assistance that was allowing us to have the funding to feed our cats.  Literally, we have no way to continue to purchase food.  We are financially stretched to the max just affording to remain in our home, which we came very close to losing earlier this year.  We have NO CREDIT or credit cards.  After over 25 years of rescue and helping, I am now the one who needs help now - which I have always hated to ask for.  I work two jobs, literally 7 days a week - making substantially less money than I did several years ago at one job.  Richie's job has reduced his income by taking away commissions, approximately 15% (minimum) of his salary.  We need people with rescues and no kills to start taking cats from us.  Alternatively, we need regular food donations for 40 cats which is how many are now here (we do have a source of regular food donations for the dogs here, but that resource has no cat food).  I have tried adopting, no one wants cats - particularly adults or semi ferals.  One cat a friend managed to find a home for on our behalf is on the way back because she didn't get along with the other cats in the household that adopted her.  Plus, as you know I have a lot of seniors here and no one wants them at all.  Adopting out one cat here or there barely scratches the surface.  I am at my wits end and I really don't know what to do.  The idea of putting cats into kill shelters - many of whom also won't even take them anyway (other than to immediately euthanize) because they are full - is beyond heartbreaking.  Please, if there is anything you can do, contact me as soon as possible.  I am in a position to keep some cats, probably about 10.  But feeding (and vetting when they need something I can't do here myself) 40 cats is impossible without the financial assistance I was informed today is no longer available to us.  Please help!

Memphis, TN: Thrown out of a car - This Little Beauty Will Steal Your Heart

Little Ella was thrown out of a car in a rural area of Shelby county...

 2-3-13:  An update from Lynda.  Here are the pictures we promised!  "She is doing very well. She is starting to get some of her hair back she still has a rough place on the end of her muzzle and top of her nose that still has some little crusted stuff on it and some small bare spots on her hip area but she is doing very good. I went to see her the other night and she is the most loving dog. She is still a little skittish when you first pet her and she has a little accident where she sits but other than that she is learning the come command and the sit.  She is doing much better about getting her twice weekly bath.  She seems to actually like it.The man tells me he doesn't always give her two baths a week but she was getting two medicated baths a week.   Now she gets one most every week.   He said he some times skips it if it is real cold out.  We will be talking to the vet real soon about getting her spayed and finish all her other vetting.  She is HW NEG and no other worms.   Dr Snow said he didn't want to spay her with the mange and she had a secondary infection but she was clear of that now . There is a rescue interested in posting her for me to get her a forever home as soon as she is clear of the mange.

*From Elizabeth:  She had a bad case of mange all over her face and bite marks all over her body. Some were still wet with blood. She spent Christmas freezing, starving, and in great pain and loneliness. Despite this she managed to make it to one of the houses in the area and the man went and found Lynda Kent Together they took her to a local vet and were turned away because they wanted full payment up front. The next vet agreed to help and I made a down payment.

She is Golden / Sheltie mix as close as the vet could tell she is approx. 12 to 18 months old. She is HW neg! She has a great deal of healing to do. Thankfully, she is safe with an elderly couple fostering her temporarily and giving her her meds and medicated baths.  PLEASE - We need a rescue to step up and help this girl find a permanent home, or a longer term foster! We need donations to help this beautiful baby as she has more treatment needed .

  

 

To donate: contact the vet, Berclair on Summer and refer to - account Lynda Kent for Ella ( 901) 685-8204  Thank you Lynda for saving her!

Cuthbert, GA - $$ 100 $$ for Sweet dog in pound by herself for a month, then forgotten. Now her time is up

Her time is up, but this sweet dog just wants to be loved. Please hurry!

$100.00 donation to approved rescue that saves this sweet girl!
*from Laurie:  Around Thanksgiving, this extremely sweet girl appeared in a neighborhood in Cuthbert. Acting like a puppy, she would jump in cars wanting to go for a ride, scare a neighbor's cat because she wanted to play with her, and aggravate people because she wanted to play with their dogs when they took them out to walk.
One lady had to feed her cat on top of the car to keep her from eating the food. They said she showed no aggression or animosity toward anyone or anything. It was just her puppy-like behavior that disrupted the neighborhood.
The lady that called the city to pick her up cried because she hated doing that to her because she is so sweet.

Her luck hasn't improved. The couple that take pictures of the pound dogs and place them in the paper and post them on the internet have been extremely ill. They are the pound dogs only link to the outside.  They were unable to do this, and now her time is up. The city has agreed to give her one more week.  Her rabies tag, shown in the picture that was taken before she went to the pound, was traced to a Boykin spaniel. His owner said that his dog had lost his rabies tag.

She is in good condition except for a small sore under her neck that was caused by her collar. She's probably 1 1/2 to 2 years. I'm judging her age by her looks and behavior. The kennel was locked and I was unable to look in her mouth. She's obviously had a litter of puppies. Please contact Laurie at (lfmontfort3@gmail.com) or 229-732-6958 or 229-310-5064.

Bodie and His Dad Would be So Grateful for Donations towards Surgery Costs

Bodie's Story - Intervertebral Disk Disease (IVDD) in Dogs 

Bodie's First Day Home

Bodie's First Day Home 

Nearly three years ago, I adopted Bodie. I was hoping to give him the best life possible after I found out what the first part of his life had been like. 

He was born into a hoarding situation, in which he lived for two years. His life was one of filth and squalor, and he lived off of Oreo cookies that had been thrown into the yard for all of the dogs to fight over. When the property was investigated, they found he trusted only the dogs in his pack. From there, he was taken to a non-profit rescue organization, deemed healthy and adoptable, and subsequently placed in a foster home for a year. However, no one wanted him because he was fearful, anxious, and timid, and to make the matter worse, the children in that family didn't like Bodie. They teased him mercilessly, and wanted him gone. When I overheard that on my visit, I decided right then that I was taking him, regardless of his issues. 

Machine doing nerve stimulation

Bodie has made great strides since the day he became part of the family. He was a constant gentle companion to his brother, Bishop, in the final months before Bishop's death. And although he is still a bit anxious around others who visit the house, with lots of love and some training he has learned to trust that no one will hurt him, and therefore will allow people to be close to him.

Before injury... "I love camping!"

Over time, Bodie quickly became adjusted to his new lifestyle with me. Some of his favorite activities are camping, fishing, going to the dog park, and hanging out at Dog Beach! He's so wanting to return to the activities that make him most happy! 

Please scroll below to read about Bodie's injury, and the costs associated with it. If you would like to help Bodie, please feel free to make a donation. Each dollar you donate will be spent solely on Bodie's ongoing medical care! Any amount is so very greatly appreciated! Bodie and I promise that your kindness will be paid forward!!

A ChipIn or Paypal is available for your convenience at the following link:  http://mysite.verizon.net/res1640b3/

Bodie's Injury:  On November 10, 2012, we went out for the evening, and when we left, Bodie was, for all intents and purposes, fine. We got home about six hours later and found Bodie unable to walk correctly. He hobbled around in a squatting position and wagged his tail. As I attempted to help him, he did not yelp, cry or howl upon my touch. We immediately rushed him to the Doggie ER. 

At first sight, the veterinarian on duty said he was sure it was a ruptured, bulging or degenerating disc in his back, which needed to be confirmed by a MRI. The news was not good. It was a rupture into the spinal canal with compression of the spinal cord, and there were two options: surgery or Euthanasia. I told

Biscuit Needs home or rescue now - 15 yr old JRT Greenville SC

Update - Biscuit is losing her temp foster, and is now BEYOND URGENT. She was staying in a cold outside kennel, but now she has nowhere!!! Please someone step up for her!! If you can help, please email 

 This is Biscuit. She is 15 years old, spayed and heartworm negative. She has her tail docked and is only 15 lbs. She is very sweet and a total lover. I also believe she is housetrained.

She is also great with other dogs. If you can help, please email LAURENBETHEA82@GMAIL.COM.

Charlotte, NC: Rookie on the way to the shelter for being too loving

This sweet 2-year old Rottie girl wants nothing more than to share all the good things that come with being part of a family, but the family she is with wants her gone immediately so she is headed for a kill shelter.  Decide for yourself and please help us save her.  She sounds wonderful and just wants to be included. Taffy has taken up her cause and will be the contact - there is no time so act quickly, please!

 Can anyone help? My husband has a co-worker that can't take care of her dog anymore. I know, I know. Why do these people get dogs to begin with? It kills me. Anyway, here's all the info I have on her. Need to find her a home ASAP.

Owner was going to take her to shelter but she told us that the shelter said they'd put the dog down. Ugh. Please please can everyone send this out? She is located in Charlotte, NC and I'm willing to help with transport if needed. She needs the dog gone asap she said or she will have to take her to shelter where she will be put down.  Please contact me if you can take her, or know who can.  Thanks to all

Contact Taffy

mermaidsrock2004@yahoo.com

 

Here's info from owner: 

 Her name is Rookie. She turned 2 years old, October. She has been fine with the kids other than she doesn't know her own strength and will jump on them and knock them down. She barks at night until I bring her in the laundry room, then she sleeps all night. She is house broken. She is very strong. I can not take her on walks for this reason. She has developed a motherly bond with my shitzu. She is a great dog. I just can't control her and my back yard is not enclosed. She needs to run. Not spayed and the last rabies record  I have expired August. no vet visit records since then.

Lafayette, TN: Ellie was struck by a car

Ellie....... Was hit by a vehicle Friday night... She was taken to the vet, x-rays  were taken, vet advised Ellie has a broken pelvis and must be confined and was placed on Meds . Her vet bill has been paid.

 Ellie needs out of the cold shelter and off the concrete floor. I need a rescue to step up for her or a foster parent.
 Folks she can not stay in the shelter in her condition.  It is too devastating for her. She needs an angel to give her a quiet, warm and secure place to recuperate.   Please cross post and share.

*From Janice: "...We tried finding them a loving home around here, but we didn't have any luck, and we might have to move again next month, and we can't take them with us, because this time we really will have to find a place rather fast.  It is really hard to find a new place that accepted dogs and soon the twins will start crawling... We are really broke right now, and we can't take them to Portland, and we tried really hard to find a loving home for them close by.  It has been really hard. Ozzy allergies are getting worse, but we can't afford taking him to a vet.

P.S.  We really want to keep them together, as they really enjoy each other company!!
I think it would help Elvis to adapt to a new family so much better, if he could remain with Ozzy.

They have a very large crate, a small crate, two carriers, blankets, etc."

Aslan’s Cat Sanctuary is a HOME for cats who have been diagnosed with Feline Leukemia. Historically most cats diagnosed with this dreaded disease were euthanized on the spot. With education, new treatments and further understanding of this condition, some people have come to be willing to give these innocent and often healthy cats a chance for a great life.

Sanctuaries have popped up over the years but securing a coveted spot in one of the great sanctuaries, is practically like winning LOTTO!!!

One such sanctuary is ASLAN’S in upstate New York. Aslans was decimated by Hurricane Irene. Through the kindness of MANY, Aslans was rebuilt. It was a miracle via the generosity of so many who gave both monetarily and physically while working there to rebuild the flooded HOME that was the only HOME to these animals.

Along comes Hurricane Sandy and although Aslan’s was extremely fortunate to escape the wrath of Sandy many other people and places were NOT. Aslans has stepped up to HELP displaced cats with feline leukemia. Aslans is NOW HOME to 80 cats. Homing and caring for 80 cats with feline leukemia is a loving, lofty goal and it will take lots and lots of money to keep these cats healthy and vetted regularly as needed. We know it CAN BE DONE...with your HELP.

Please review Aslan’s most recent newsletter featuring their beautiful HOME and delightful residents. Pictures are worth a 1000 words! http://aslanscats.org/cms/

This sanctuary is a Work of Heart...it WILL take funding to serve the additional cats that Aslan’s WOULD NOT turn their back on. Desperate times mean desperate measures.
Thank you for your kind consideration on behalf of The Aslans Cats!!!

*Lafayette, TN: Willard doesn't understand what he did wrong..

11-30-12:  Willard was adopted by a gentleman who works for the U.S. Humane Society and they are a match made in Heaven!

Thankfully, he was removed from a home of abuse, fed and comforted so he no longer cowers in a corner and cries, but unless someone steps up to give this boy the home and family he deserves, he will be euthanized on November 23rd.  Willard, someone out there needs you as much as you them..we are trying, baby boy.

 Willard, male , 2 yrs, 74lbs, not neutered, was extremely mistreated and starved, neighbors stated he was beaten daily for no reason, removed from his former owners last week, AC is feeding him three times a day now, he only weighed 50 lbs when he came into the shelter.  He's really relaxed now, very happy, walking on a lead now, loves being around the other dogs  at the shelter , he was extremely scared when he arrived at shelter, he would try to hide in a corner and cry.

Folks, Willard deserves a chance, surely there's someone out there for him. I sure hope someone will step up for him, you won't be sorry, he's a very grateful dog and shows it.

Willard will be put down on 23 November 2012.

Located in Lafayette Tenn. Contact Parker at 423-278-4622 or rparker703@yahoo.com

10-9-12   A rescue has stepped up for Josie! Keep her in your prayers that she will keep her leg and regain her sight. 

"Her name is JOSIE and she is feeling much better now that she is on medications. We won't know about the front leg if it will improve or need to be amputated. Also her eyes are very infected and at this time cannot see.  We are treating her eyes very aggressively and will just have to wait and see how she responds.  She does have a Rescue group who has stepped up to take her so that is also good news."  Carol

10-8-12 UPDATE:  Her name is Josie; she has now had all of her vaccinations; she is heartworm NEGATIVE (yay!).  Her temporary home can only keep her until 11/19/12.  Here are more details about her medical condition and treatment.  

O.K. here is the update on Josie:  She had her HW test and is NEGATIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Her eyes are very infected, she cannot see. Dr Szabo is treating with eye drops (Dr. English ) Ciprofloxacin 3 X day, Simplicef antibotic, Pred 10mg 2 X day for 3 days then 10mg 1 X day for 10 days, also Flurbyprofen eye drops in both eyes 2 X day for 10 days and Tramadol 2 tabs 2X day.

Right now this is her schedule to hopefully clear up her eyes, and if possible help the leg. We are going to wait and see until next week then make a decision with Dr. B.

She has received her 1 month heartguard + Tab and Revolution Flea topical.

She is soooooo sweet and was a good girl.

This precious little girl was hit by a car, picked up by

animal control and allowed to languish in a cage without medical treatment and care for a week.  Thanks to someone who could no longer bear the thought of this neglect, she was pulled for help.  This is a very temporary situation and she needs a foster, rescue or a permanent home.  Please help us find that for her.

Carol at Feral Friends rescue will be temporily fostering until we get this dog’s leg patched up.

Looks good for her keeping this leg won't know until next week. Dr. Bartfield coming to look at it. We hope to have enough funds to also cover her vaccs. And spaying once she is clear on the leg.

Hi all,

I just had to share this rescue I just did on Tuesday for Elise Duran. Partially to ask for small donations but mostly to share with you this tragic story and to let you know that I'm also there on the "front lines. My heart and gratitude goes out to those who are there full time.

As you probably know,  Elise is known for helping the animals that are offered free on Craigs list and the Recycler. She keeps us all posted on these poor animals that can end up as Lab test animals, bait dogs or victims of torture. We try to get them before they do.

She asked me to help her rescue a horse and a pot belly boar in Lake Elsinore.
The owners were moving to Hawaii and had to get rid of their animals.
My trainer and I drove 120 miles to a ranch WAAAAAAAY up a mountain above the lake.

Took us 45 min to load Bodie onto the trailer. Bodie was rescued 8 years ago with another companion horse. Both were emaciated. They were once parade horses. Both were white and extremely emaciated. The woman rescued Bodie and nursed him back to health. He was in a good space lots of shade and room to roam. But he looked bloated to me. Wonderful, gentle horse. Turns out he was a Camarillo Parade horse. The ones that are in the Rose Parades year after year.

Elise was going to help sponsor his care till we found him a permanent home. On the way home I was already considering keeping him here indefinitely. It made me feel good that he could live out his last years here at the Poindexterosa. 

It took us 3 1/2 hours to get home. At 8:30 pm we pulled up to the barn to unload him. He stepped off the trailer, took a few steps, sat down and died. His stool was black. The woman must have known his body was shutting down and wanted us to take the responsibility of taking care of his poor old body. No wonder she was in such a hurry to get rid of him. Poor old guy. I was heartbroken. The next day I was faced with the task of trying to find someone with a back-hoe to bury him. I finally found someone and now Bodie is at rest.

I am disgusted at how people don't take responsibility for the care of their animals and we are always the one that have to clean up their messes. It's sad, exhausting and expensive. But extremely rewarding when things go real well like the Stallion at Devore that we rescued last year. As you all know so well, these are the chances that you take in rescue. The good, bad and the ugly.

Poppie is a boar. He needs to be neutered and his tusks needs trimming. ($300).
He also needs a permanent home.
Digging grave for poor Bodie was $250, gas and trainer was $225 and pig food runs about 40 per month.
So any amount you can donate would help allot. We can't continue to rescue these poor animals without your donations. God bless you all and beyond all~ God bless the animals.
