TEXAS: Emergency Help Needed for Texas Pitties and Potbelly Piggies and their caregiver

THE PROPERTY IS BEING SOLD, LEAVING THIS RESCUER AND HIS ANIMALS HOMELESS.
Another dedicated and selfless rescuer asking for nothing more than to protect the animals and continue to save more. Out of the blue, the property he has been leasing is being sold and he has less than two months to find a replacement so that the animals he has healed and nurtured will remain in a secure and safe environment until they go to their forever homes. Read on for the full story and contact information. Ideas, leads and if you can, donations can keep this "family" together and safe so Tyler can continue his mission of rescue those others ignore. FACEBOOK PAGE LINK
***If anyone has property or knows of anyone around San Antonio I am desperately trying to find a safe place for us to go. I have 53 days to find something!! Many of the animals in my care are special needs and/or having been horribly abused** I need a property with no zoning or regulations***
  IN HIS OWN WORDS: Almost 2 years ago I relocated to Texas from San Diego, CA. My company relocated so rather than taking a voluntary lay off and being unemployed I chose to relocate with the company and take a substantial pay cut. I have been gainfully employed with the company for 6 years and prior to accepting the position I was employed for several years with another company.

I moved here with my 5 dogs to a great home in Devine, TX where I have leased the property for nearly 2 years and was agreed verbally that it would not be sold for some time. I invested over $4,000
(all of my savngs ) in fencing and other necessities to make it a safe place for my animals and the animals that I have rescued since being in Texas. I was left some money when my mom passed away, I donated a large portion to other rescues and animals in need as well as using it for my own animals.
I was told last month by the landlord that she wants to sell the property and my lease expires on July 1st, 2013, not leaving much time to find something for my animals and myself. I have always paid my rent on time and have never been late. The sudden urgency to sell the house is beyond my control.

I am not eligible for a USDA loan or any grants. I make too much as the government sees it and my...

Fulton County, GA: Sweet and so scared little girl too long at the shelter



Chaos #A452718 at Fulton County Animal Shelter
First "Chaos" is a terrible name for this little girl.  She is absolutely terrified.  She will not walk on a leash.  I had to pick her up and carry her outside.  When I set her down, she was so terrified, she would not put her front two paws down and sat, shaking, on her haunches.  She was happy to accept love and attention though and cautiously leaned towards me to get more.
 
Here is my weekly plea.  Sweet scared Chaos is in need of an angel.  She has been at FCAS since March 29!!  That is a VERY long time for a FCAS dog.  I'm hoping luck is still on her side and this will find this sweetie a second chance...
 
She a really adorable pup.  Based on her appearance, I thought she was around 6 months old but her teeth indicate that she's more than likely around 2 years old.  So she's full grown at 30 lbs.  She very much has a baby face and super soft puppy-like fur.    I couldn't even begin to guess what she is- besides precious.
Chaos #A452718 at Fulton County Animal Shelter

She's seen her share of dogs come and go in the month plus that she's been at the shelter and hasn't had a problem with any of them.  She would definitely do best in a foster home, where she can learn to be a companion and overcome her fears.

Please let me know if you can help her.  She's running out of time. 
Thank you so much!

Charlotte. NC: Two bonded housebroken doxie girls looking for new home together

Michelle Williams has two female dachshunds that clearly love each other alot.  Just look at the photos.  She has to give them up because she is working two jobs and as painful as it is, she knows they will need more time than
she can give them right now.  She takes great care of them!


Spayed: YES

Housebroken: YES



Ages: Peanut is 8 years, very active and will bark when excited - she will usually calm down after a bit.Pumpkin is 4 years, a doll, very laid back and full of love and affection.  They are both lap dogs. Have not been around kids so probably not a good idea and they do not like cats. 

Peanut is a hunter and will go after rabbits and snakes.  Their Mom would prefer they go together and wants it understood that if someone takes them and cannot keep them, please let her know as she does not want them shuffled around

The dachshund rescue groups so far cannot promise they will be placed together.  If you know of a loving home for them both or if you can forward this with her contact information, I am trying to help her so that they can stay as family.

BENDY NEEDS YOUR HELP


Young Bendy w/leg braces
Bendy's Home for Handicapped Cats has cared for handicapped/special needs cats of many kinds over the past 13 years, starting withBendy Kitty who was born with bent front legs. 

R.I.P Bendy Cute Kitty 4/23/2012
Currently we have 9 FeLv positive cats in their own area, two "hind end twisties" who are incontinent and require special diets, diapers, monitoring for urinary tract infections and medications when they get one, several blind or mostly blind cats, 2 seniors with hyperthyroid and three seniors with CRF, another senior has triaditis (CRF, pancreatitis and IBD) and three other cats with IBD and differing sensitivities.

Life is always busy at Bendy's Home! www.alittletlc.com

Over the years our vet has let us run a tab and been very helpful in teaching Bendy Mom how to do things at home (running fluids for example) to keep the bills down. This year, however, bills have gotten out of hand. We had multiple emergencies and are having a lot of tooth issues which have put the current tab to $3000 (despite donations) and made the head of the clinic, understandably, unhappy.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HELP US WITH OUR VET BILL, YOU CAN DONATE THROUGH OUR FUNDIT WIDGET (to the upper left of this blog post), OR YOU CAN CONTACT THE VET BELOW:

*Greenwood, IN: URGENT - Echo, 6-year old puggle on wheels needs a new family to roll with


Fingers crossed, but I think we have it all figured out!!!!
We are going to drive Echo to Georgia on June 16th to stay with a lady named Cindy. She sounds like a great lady, has experience with disabled pets (has a ferret that is paralyzed and owned a cat with kidney failure) and has the time to take care of him. Again, I can't thank you all enough for the help, support, and prayers!!!
I am sooooooo excited and upset at the same time. On one hand, I found someone that can care for Echo, and provide him the time and care he needs and deserves. On the other, I have to say goodbye to one of the greatest animals I have ever met. June 16th is gonna be one emotional day.  Again thanks everyone for all of your help!!!!!!!
- Carl & Echo
Echo
Echo is a special needs dog who just doesn't understand why his life has changed.  He's ready to pick up where he left off and now it's with his wheels.  Echo needs that new home as soon as possible.  Could that be you or someone you know??  Please share his story, or better yet..call his heartbroken owner and let him know Echo is going to be just fine. He is neutered (but don't tell him that! )  His annual vaccinations are due in June.  His owner is willing to have those done for his new owner and also willing to help with transport if you are not close by.


"While shopping at Petsmart for our other dog, we happened upon an adoption day and found an adorable puggle, Echo. He came home with us that evening for a “trial run” (we all knew he wasn’t going back) and has been with us ever since. He led a normal dog life up until 4 years ago. I came home from work to a dog in obvious pain and within hours he lost the ability to use his back legs. We rushed him to an emergency vet, and despite quick diagnosis of a ruptured disc and surgery, Echo was never able to fully recover. While his back legs haven’t worked since, his spirit has never been broken. Two days after surgery, Echo drug himself out of his kennel and over to me on the floor just to lick my hand (I swear it was his way of telling me everything was going to be ok).


Echo does require expressing due to his paralysis.  A daily schedule of expressing and he is good to go. The past 4 years have been a challenge, but Echo’s spirit and energy have never faltered. This is the reason that posting this is incredibly hard for me. Since Echo’s injury, my wife and I have brought 2 children into the world, and Echo has gone from being the baby to spending far too much time in this kennel due to me picking up a new job and the kids.
C.mon guys...I really want to play! 
Promise I will slow down
 and wait for you!


 
Understandably, he has become increasingly cranky and uncomfortable around the kids. He misses the old days when he was the center of attention and being his corny loveable self.  I love this dog more than I care to admit most days, but I just don’t have enough time to give him anymore and he spends a lot of time in his kennel because of the hours I work. Echo does not deserve the hand he has been dealt, and it is totally unfair to euthanize him because of what has happened, especially when he is a loving, caring, wonderful dog. However, if I cannot find him a home or a rescue, that is what we are left with.

Greenville, SC: Important Update on Macie, now in Atlanta

UPDATE from Doggie Harmony 4/29/13:      Hi Dog Lovers, we are offering $200 a month immediately for a Fosterer for Macie, plus food, htworm/flea prev, a bed, collar, leash the works. Macie is spayed, all shots, and ID Chipped! AND.. in Boarding as of last week! She also is very adoptable!     
     Macie is a 3 yr old 50 lb boxer mix, obed trained via Jabula Dog Academy, Decatur, housetrained,
cratetrained, and lately lived in a home for 8 months until her foster dad went to grad school. 
     Macie loves exercise, adores people, love and attention, and to be the Ultimate Companion Dog for a person/couple who are experienced dog owners.  Macie likes many dogs but not all so we want to place her as an only pet for now. 
     Please contact us if interested in fostering (or adopting) Macie. Otherwise, please forward this e-mail, and make copies of Macie's 
 flyer and hang all around Atlanta.  All Starbucks, Caribou Coffee and Einsteins NOW HAVE BULLETIN BOARDS!    This is how Macie may get discovered and fostered or adopted! Macie is Judy Townsend's dog and we are helping her to get Macie a great home now!    Thanks a lot, Maryann and Liz

MACIE's Petfinder Link is below:
http://www.petfinder.com/petdetail/25254328?mtf=1
                                                  
NEW CONTACT INFORMATION
 Liz at fidofriend@spamarrest.com,
or Maryann at 404-401-2327 to meet, Foster  Macie.



 If you know someone that lives close to Greeneville, SC or maybe between there and Atlanta who might be in a postition to help with this please forward.  If they cannot help, ask them to forward . If you can spare ever $5.00 it would be appreciated as well. 
"Hi everyone.
Last time I wrote to you about Macie it was an email of happiness because Macie had gone to a new foster home, that ultimately wanted to adopt her.  Unfortunately, it did not work out and Macie is now in need once again. 
    - IMMEDIATE need is for transport help getting her from Greenville, S.C. back to the Atlanta area.  If anyone has any ideas or can help drive even part of the way, please let me know ASAP.  I can meet someone, but I simply can't go all the way to S.C. and back in the next few days, and I need to get her back here.

   
- URGENT need for help with boarding, as she will need to be boarded until another foster/adopter is found.  I know we're all inundated with donation requests, and if I didn't need the help, I wouldn't ask.  I volunteer and help with rescues, and do transports when I can.  But I'm not a rescue, and I'm not funded, and I'm trying to do the best I can.  Of course, the ultimate objective is to find Macie a homeShe did great with her previous foster family, canine and otherwise, but this time she and her fellow foster dogs simply did not get along. Because of that, I feel it will be best for Macie to be the only dog, so she doesn't have to be moved yet again.

It has been, and continues to be, a long journey for Macie, but there IS the perfect home out there for her.  And I'm committed to finding it.  This sweet face deserves it.   Judy"


For those who don't know Macie's story: she was rescued from a terrible life with a hoarder con-artist. After vetting and surgery and training, she was living in a wonderful foster home. But the foster returned to grad school and Macie had nowhere to go. She has been through a lot in her young life, and wants nothing more than a home and a person she can love.

Wilmington, DE: Blind Love Bug has spent 2 years in a shelter

This precious girl was abandoned to a shelter by  owners who just didn't have the time.  Dixie still has love in her heart and faith that she will again belong to a family.
My name is Dixie, and I am a very sweet girl who needs a forever home with someone as special as I am. I came here from another shelter ...in March 2011, where I ended up because my family did not have enough time for me anymore. You would never guess it from my pretty smile, but I have been through a lot in my life. Still, I smile because I have faith that there is someone out there who will fall in love with me, even though I have been waiting for an awfully long time. I know you must be staring at my photo thinking someone got a little carried away with the Remove Red-Eye button while editing it... I wish that was case! I have always had issues with my eyes, to the point where I had to have one removed about a year ago. Things were OK for little while, but then I started losing vision in my remaining eye. It started to cause me a lot of pain, so that one had to go, too. It has been taking me some time to get use to my surroundings here at the shelter without being able to rely on sight. I have to learn voices instead a faces, and it is harder for me to know when someone wants to interact with me, or when another dog is coming up to sniff and introduce itself to me. On top of that, I tend to bump into things before anyone can stop me... ouch! I would love to move to a real home where I can be more comfortable once I learn where everything is. I know basic commands and love to go for walks on a leash and car rides. I will sit the lap of anyone who will let me and snuggling on a couch next to someone is my favorite thing of all. The most important thing to know about me is that what I lack in vision, I make up for in personality. I love attention and have plenty of love to give in exchange. I hope my story will open your heart and you will want to come meet me, and that once we spend some time together, you will want to open your home to me as well!

Check out my video on YouTube at http://youtu.be/tRaO6lst9kY... it was taken when a little while ago when I had one eye, but I am still the same great dog!

Quakertown, PA *3 Strikes for Chloe!

Last Chance for Chloe, a GORGEOUS Flame Point Siamese Girl - She Needs a LOVING, Kind Home This Time!
*From Laura:  Chloe is on her last chance, as this is her third time at the shelter. She was adopted and returned twice; normally, this could put her on the dreaded E list; however, the shelter is doing their utmost to help Chloe find a home and avoid that awful list!

Chloe originally came into the Bucks County SPCA as a stray....imagine that! Almost immediately adopted, she was returned for not using her litter box. It is strongly suspected that the owner's dog and cat may have prevented her from doing so as she has excellent habits at the shelter. She was adopted again and returned -- this owner said she didn't like him and became aggressive when he kept picking her up and trying to hold her to stay. Really?!

Back at the shelter, her behavior improved and it's learned that she's a TYPICAL Siamese female....she likes petting and attention but, when she's had enough, she's had enough! It is recommended that Chloe be placed with cat-savvy people with no other pets and, if children, older children. She's about 1-1/2 years old and spayed.

Note from poster, Laura Schwartz: I've met Chloe and found her to be not only utterly beautiful but soft with bunny fur. She came right over and played and was as nice as could be....but, of course, I didn't pick her up and hang onto her against her will!

Transport can be arranged.

SAN LEON, TX (south of Houston): Please help David Grigsy & Dogs

Loving owner passed away... they only have until the end of the month to find these babies a home ... running out of time - 
*FROM DENISE: Please help us find homes for our friend Davids dogs. Time is very limited so we have to network fast. Please consider one of his babies. All are house broken. Please pass this email onto all of your friends and ask them to forward to theirs. This is very important and urgent. We have to find a home to save their lives. These animals are located in SAN LEON, TX that is south of Houston, Tx. Please help us. 
*FROM SARAH: Hello Everyone, As you all know, David Grigsby passed away this morning. He was a man who loved & helped all animals in need David volunteered many hours at GCARC & other rescues. His life was his dogs. He worried what would happen to them if he ever passed. I will go over twice a day to feed water & love on them as much as I can. One seems a little sad & confused but is doing very well. He had a total of 8 dogs. 4 of them are seniors & all are used to living indoors. All of his dogs have a great temperament & are super sweet. All are up to date on vaccines ( I will check their rabies certs & pay for any that may need it) All have been tested for HW & ALL are negative. I have attached photos of 7 of David Grigby's dogs with their name on the photo . Denise Warren picked up a small one today. If anyone can help place them or foster any it would be much appreciated. I don't know how long I will have possession of his home or caring for his dogs there, we must move quickly but they are safe for a few days. The medical examiner is trying to find his next of Kin. My number is 281-559-3570 otherwise please feel free to call Chris Krysher. She was very good friends with David & came out to check on all the dogs today. I will be calling her to give updates.  ( See Below) Thanks you, Sarah
