Memphis, TN: Please don't let this sweet and hopeful pup fall between the cracks

This poor boy is being bounced around, please help us find him a good home.

Duke was adopted from MAS about a month ago and since then he's been bounced all around and has had no stability. The family that adopted him from MAS decided they didn't want him after all so I found a foster for him but then foster then backed out. Then I found another adopter for Duke, but now their circumstances have changed and they can't keep him either.

Duke is an awesome young dog, about 45 pounds, healthy, neutered and UTD on shots. Housebroken, crate-trained, good with kids.

He's still very much a puppy and needs training and so far nobody has been willing to give him the time to do that. He has a lot of energy and wants a lot of attention and so far no one has been willing to love him and be patient with him through his puppy phase. Can you please share this boy before he winds up back at the shelter? Please contact me if you can help.

*** HARVEY ***Funds Needed for SURGERY*** 

This poor boy has been through some rough times, and now he needs a little more help from you. Please help by donating towards his dental surgery so that he can go on to find a forever home.

From <https://www.facebook.com/linda.galicki> Linda Galicki a WARRIOR in RESCUE...

LOOK at this magnificent BOY...
Here is Harvey. He is five years old. He is a RARE MALE diluted pastel calico. He was dumped in a large feral community by his "family." He was not accepted by the cats and beat on, and was slowly starving to death. He was terribly emaciated and very, very sick. He had the worst upper respiratory infection which affected his eye. When Harvey was trapped and brought to the vet, the eye could not be saved and was removed. It took him a while to recover from his illness. He is gaining weight slowly. We now noticed that there were issues with his mouth. One side was crooked, and he was having a little trouble eating. Turns out he has several rotting teeth, and a few broken ones. He also has sever stomatitis. He needs to have all his teeth removed. The surgery will cost approximately $800. We need to raise funds for this surgery before he goes up for adoption. 

If anyone can please find it in their heart to donate to help Harvey get this necessary surgery, please call Catnip and Carrots Veterinary at (516) 877-7080. Say you are donating to Harvey Galicki's teeth surgery. I've attached a photo and a video of Harvey. Sweet baby that he is. He does not deserve such treatment.

Harvey is the sweetest kitty. Not a mean bone in his body. He is a quiet boy who loves to head butt you. He loves being held and pet and kissed.

Thank you so much for any assistance you can provide. If anyone wants to find out more information about Harvey, they can contact LINDA at linda11004@yahoo.com

Miami, FL: Dedicated Rescuer needs help for Shadow and herself

Aimee Lonczak was my right-hand in rescue for a good long time until her health issues and those of her Dad intervened... Now she needs some help saving Shadow - a dog she pulled under my contract six years ago from Miami-Dade (2008)... Shadow has had a history of illnesses from day one and has overcome them all in great part thanks to Aimee and her daughters' care and strength.

He is a member of their family. Aimee has a heart of gold. She had to fly out at 5am on an emergency flight TO NJ as her Dad has to be hospitalized again. Not a good sign. And this with her health poor and two elementary school girls. This is her story - in her words - and I KNOW every word to be true.

I have attached a photo of this sweet boy who continues to fight the good fight and deserves to be well. We are a village in rescue - and right now Aimee needs our village to help out - wherever you are. Thank you so much.

Shadow is now back on IV and injectable antibiotics.
Kathy Papresq, Miami, FL

From Aimee...
Shadow was rescued in November, 2008 from MDAS. He was a matted mess and no one wanted him covered in fleas and ticks which is the normal for there. I was away and I remember having him brought to my house and my maintenance man let the puller put him in my house until my foster could come and pick him up. Lo and behold, my husband came home first and was shocked none the less to find him there and me in N.J. He was a surprise for my Ava who use to walk around with a Schnauzer statue bigger then her.

Shadow has had his fair share of medical issues since being broken out of jail in MDAS. He has a heart murmur and cataracts. Then, one horrible night Shadow got so sick in the middle of the night, he was vomiting, had diarrhea, and was foaming from the mouth during the night so he was rushed to the vet where it was touch and go, only to be hospitalized for over a week and diagnosed with HGE. Shadow came home on special food and medication which was quite costly. We were on a good road and then another set back right before Christmas. It broke my heart to watch my Ava cry in her cereal hoping he would make it. 10 days later, my little fighter made it and came home to us! We have had very many smaller setbacks, but he kept fighting.

In June my dad almost died and I had to be in N.J. to take care of him for 7 weeks. While at my dog sitters, Shadow got sick from another dog. After many antibiotics, blood tests and a culture, we got the worst news ever - Shadow had Ecoli. I opted to treat him instead of put him down. The I.V. and the antibiotic injections where killing his liver and kidneys, he cried for my daughters. He had to be locked away from them because he was communicable to them and the other dogs, yet he fought it and won… only to have continued onset and explosions as we kept fighting another culture. He is Ecoli free now, but now he has Phsdomonis a bacterial infection. More antibiotics.

Today yet another explosion. Shadow needs more treatment. I have spent upwards of over $1000.00 and still have have a balance of almost $1000.00 and that is with my Rescue Discount. He still needs more treatment. Shadow has not given up his fight and I have not given up on him. He is eating very well. He’s active, alert and playful. He still has a lot of life left in him, so if you are able to please help him that would be very appreciated.

I know times are hard, if anyone can give up that one cup of Starbucks it will make all the difference to him and my daughter Ava. Over the years, I have tried my best to help so many animals all over the U.S.  I have fostered for many of you, pulled and transported for many, and let so many others use my contract to pull under. I have even had to be the bad person and come and pick up some animals for some of you who weren't able to send angels over the Rainbow Bridge with my two little girls.

My reputation does stand for itself. My daughters have spent many hours sitting in MDAS with me to rescue and save so many innocents, like the Distemper outbreaks in the 100 degree weather; they sat in my truck for hours. If anyone can help, I would appreciate it from the bottom of my heart. Donations can be made directly to the vet:

PLEASE HELP THIS LITTLE BOY.... he lost his dad and now his new family is giving him up.

SPOTTY
Spotty is a 3-4 year old male, Rat Terrier, neutered, UTD on vaccines. VERY smart, obedience trained, housebroken and loves to cuddle. He is afraid of strangers but with the right family, one who is willing to take the advice & instruction of Spotty’s trainer things will be fine. There was a problem in his current home with one of the family dogs, but gets along fine with the other one. So testing would have to be done if there is already a resident dog.

Our suggestion would be either a couple or a family with kids 13 years old and up. We don’t know how he is with cats, but given his breed we would feel more comfortable with a home that does not have cats. Although we prefer an adopter immediately, his currently family is not giving us much time so we need to move him ASAP, so we are desperately

seeking fosters as well.

Please help him-he is so confused as his senior Dad moved into a facility‎
and he had to be re-homed and this family adopted him but is now giving up
on him.

UPDATE Long Island, NY*** Brindle Mastiff/Terrier Butterscotch -Family Must Surrender...AGAIN!!! Please Read Update!

August 1, 2014  ***LONG, ISLAND, NY ***

Update on Butterscotch AKA NALA

She was seen yesterday, July 31, by  Dr. Seltzer an outstanding Dermatology/Allergy Specialist at VMCI ( Veterinary Medical Center of Long Island)

Due to the lack of follow through in the past year by the adopter, the dog MUST be attended to PROPERLY going forward in order to get her on track and feeling better! Despite everything this dog is an angel with wonderful personality. Loves dogs and kids!! The vet hospital fell in love with this Happy, Sweet Girl!!!

We MUST find a foster or HOME for Butters ASAP....someone who will be willing to do what it takes to save her...there is NO going back to a shelter for she WILL DIE there...

A very kind and generous woman paid the vet bill yesterday in full...we are waiting for the cultures to comes back...it will then be known what type of anti-biotic to give...then the allergens will be determined...at that point shots must be given daily ( at home) for one month. Her ears need to be medicated, she needs to be bathed with special soap and she will be on special food for life. She is TWO.

Sound overwhelming??????????? I know that there ARE people who have dogs/cats with allergies...I know that there ARE people who do what it takes.

If we don't get this dog into the right care and quickly the vetting yesterday will be for naught.

*****Additionally costs going forward to get this dog on track WILL BE PAID to a foster or home....Sponsorships are being offered already.

NOW* NOW* NOW*     Contact Trudy  tssh1@optonline.net

July 18 -- Long Island, NY Rescue organization being shut down by the Town of Oyster Bay -- they need your help

7-20-14 Update from the organization:

I am going to address some of the many repeat questions I have seen but have not had time to individually answer.

1. We have a lawyer and we are working on getting back into this building. Unfortunately, there are no guarantees and there is a possibility we may never be able to go back with animals.

2. Please help by continuing and endlessly making phone calls to the town.

3. Adoptions adoptio...ns adoptions are needed at this time. Adoption fees are $100 or $125 depending.

4. If we knew why this building was an issue for the town we would have had this resolved already. Unfortunately, we don't know. With that in mind, we can't answer those questions for our supporters.

5. Our cats and kittens are safe! They are in foster in different locations. For the safety of the animals we will not be disclosing there whereabouts unless someone is interested in adopting a specific kitten.

6. At this time, until we are made aware what needs to be done to the building to bring it up to code there is nothing our supporters can do.

Long Island, TEDDY CAT...Declawed is Losing His Safe Haven...

July 9, 2014
Dottie HELPS EVERYONE!!! NOW she needs OUR HELP to HELP TEDDY! 

*From Trudi:  Just received this urgent plea from the ultimate rescue friend -- Dottie Zammetti
https://www.facebook.com/TheCatnipCrew
Declawed TEDDY is LOSING his ONLY SAFE HAVEN...OUTDOORS!
Contact Dottie at ahomeatlast@optonline.net


***Teddy is a semi-friendly DECLAWED cat that showed up in a friend's colony last fall. He has never left the sanctuary of an enclosed courtyard of an abandoned house in all this time and has used a greenhouse as his shelter. He is afraid of the other 3 cats in the colony, likely due to not having his claws for defense. When he first arrived, he would hiss, spit and swat at the feeder. But over time, he has come to trust her and allows pets and even scruffing. When she recently mentioned that he never extends his claws when he swats, I had her scruff him while I checked his paws and discovered his declawed status. He hissed at me, but did not go to swat or bite. With time he will adapt, hopefully in a good home. But right now his safety is in jeopardy because new owners bought the house & property where he has been living and will be tearing everything down to rebuild and have forbid my friend from her or anyone else feeding the cats on their property. The other neighbors also won't allow the cats to be on their properties either. Our main concern at the moment is this boy because of his fear of the other cats and being declawed so we are looking for a home or safe haven for him. His eyes do drip from time to time but he allows us to wipe them now.

Ted was a super good boy at the vet the other day and he got a great checkup. He is felv/fiv negative, up to date on rabies and FVRCP and was treated for fleas and ticks. No ear mites or any other health issues. Unless he has had a dental in the last year, the vet estimates him to be about 2-3 years old because he has no tarter on his teeth. The vet attributes his drippy eyes to a possible blocked tear duct that may have developed after an eye infection as a kitten. He runs up and rubs against the feeder and loves being pet but he will nip at times if overstimulated, although never hard. So we need a cat savvy person for him, no other cats and probably no small children. Not sure about dogs. At the moment we need immediate foster to get to him to safety so that we can better assess him in a home situation and try and find him a proper home.

Demolition of the buildings is scheduled to begin the end of next week so this is a truly urgent situation. Please share far and wide so we can get this guy to safety! Contact Dottie at ahomeatlast@optonline.net

Memphis, TN : Sweet and Beautiful Little Bear Left Alone in a Field for Months

From: Angela  

"I hope by some miracle someone can help this poor dog. Please share far and wide so that maybe there will be a miracle for this dog. I work at 201 Poplar and get off work at 6 am. Each morning I pass a field near my home and would see a white dog lying in the middle of the field, all alone. 

I purchased a bag of dog food and would feed him each morning. It has taken months to win his trust, and finally I was able to slip a leash on him. He was so happy he rubbed his head against my leg as I led him to my vehicle. 

I took him to my vet and he has heartworms – but they will be treated!!   And, of course he is not neutered. I am glad at least that he is no longer in that field with no shelter.

The problem is that I have no place for him. I am absolutely willing to pay for his shots, neutering, and heartworm treatment if someone could possibly take him in.

He is a young dog, maybe 2 or 3 years old and weighs about 50 lbs. (although he is underweight  right now). He seems to be okay with other dogs and ignored the clinic cat.  Thank you."

Memphis, TN: Max, unloved, living in a dark garage most of his life...

Now ignored by the system that should protect him. Help us find him the loving home he deserves.

Neutered, Vetted, No Heartworm

6-26-14:  A Letter from Max himself:
 

My name is Max.  People tell me I'm a very handsome fawn/white Pittie boy with golden eyes.  I don't look in the mirror much, so I'll go with that!  

 

I haven't had a very good life.  My original owner really wanted me, but his wife hated me.  So, from the time I was a puppy she put me in the dark garage 24/7.  I was so lonely!!  I never had any toys or walks.  Then one day the woman said she was “pregnant” (whatever that is) and used that as an excuse to make her husband get rid of me. 

 

He was very sad but she won.  (She always won.) She wanted to take me to the kill shelter - said she didn't care that they would kill me in 48 hours.   The husband and concerned neighbors took me to a foster.  I LOVE my foster (and she loves me!)  but she is too old to take care of me, and she has no yard for me to run.

It's been a few months, so I'm really scared I'm going to the kill shelter.  Memphis has so many homeless dogs and I don't have a rescue group.

Can you adopt me or rescue me?   I'm about 60 pounds.  In good with people and small dogs.  I'm afraid of larger dogs.   I LOVE to go in the car!  I spent so many years in a dark garage so I would love to have a small yard.

I will give you years of love!!  I will lay by your chair while you watch TV.  I will give you kisses when you need them. I will protect your house.

I will be loyal to the very end.

I just need a chance.

Love, Max

From the heart of a long time, dedicated rescuer and networker: 

I have been unable to get local pit rescue to courtesy list him.  Nor have I been able to get local rescue here in Memphis to just allow him to come to adoption events, since he “wasn’t their dog”. 

I have assisted in the rescue of 100s of dogs and contributed thousands to local rescue.

I’m so distraught about my failure to help this dog that I’m going to take a break from rescue until such time that this dog is rescued.  If I can't help one that is MOST  in need, then I can't live with myself.. I can’t abandon this one because there are “easier” dogs to rescue.

When we, as rescue volunteers, allow pit bulls to become a “throwaway” breed -  and don’t even care if their lives are in in immediate danger – we have failed.

Max’s only sin was having his life controlled by people who never loved him.  He tried everything he could to gain that love, but was instead kept in a dark garage and then thrown out.   See his story below.

FROM SHARON – HIS FOSTER:

“Max has never had a loving home - something he richly deserves!! This is the dog that a pregnant woman did not want any more. She had been keeping him in the dark garage most of the time anyway.  She attributed faults to the dog to justify her decision to to him to a kill shelter.

Please see this INCREDIBLY beautiful... dog's pictures. He has been evaluated thoroughly by Bryan an expert at ProTrain. Per his foster, Bryan has said that Max as a very good dog! He has stolen our hearts!

Max is an exceptional dog, and much loved by people who care about him and who want him safe and happy. Bryan, the evaluator, says Max is a very adoptable dog! He does extremely well with small dogs, and is in a foster home with small dogs now. Children ten and older would be great.

Max is young, and he is insecure about storms because he was alone so much when he was a puppy. Max needs a loving home where he can lie by your chair and be your companion, which is what he is doing now with his foster - but his foster can't keep him much longer. She rescued him from his horrible life, but she is not at an age where she can keep him. Also, she doesn't have a yard, so Max doesn't get to run around in the yard and explore.

Max is an inside dog but he needs to get exercise. He needs a reliable rescue group or loving permanent home. Please help Max find a happy place where he will be safe and protected, so he can have the life he deserves.

Contact Sharon (below) for information as to how to rescue or adopt this precious boy. He really deserves and needs a loving, responsible, forever home where he will be there always as a great family member and companion. 

Those of us who love Max want to know that he will be in a safe, loving and happy home.”

June 9 UPDATE -- EXTREMELY URGENT

Not only were these cats burned but this past weekend they were SHOT at... FOSTERS NEEDED...These cats are ULTRA FRIENDLY and partly why they are such EASY TARGETS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paws Unite People is assisting in getting the Huntington burned cats to safety!! WE NEED YOUR HELP!! We currently have 3 friendly adults going in for spay/neuter/shots/testing and need Foster homes. We will be joining forces with a rescue in New Hampshire, so we NEED fosters for these cats until they are able to be transported up!!

THREE in for spay 12 MORE to GO!! Please help and spread the word and FOSTER!!
Fosters@pawsunitepeople.com

PLEASE help!!!!

Original story: *From J:  There are 15 cats left there now. Below are the photos of cigarette burns on the cats.

It is suspected that MS-13 gang members that frequent the property for night time partying have done this sadly and it has happened more than once. The Cat shelters were tampered with as well.

SPCA has this open case but cannot catch the abusers.  They will not relocate or home the cats since they just don't do that.  Most are TNR'ed, but a few new ones joined the colony that will be fixed.  Ages up to 3 yrs old. Some kitten age. Shelters will not take since they are full.

Twelve were already removed to safe havens, one at a time, but now the remaining 15 need a place.  I am told all are friendly, but I cannot verify to what degree.  Two feeders there now (an AM and a PM), but AM feeder is moving out of the area in July and don't know much about the other feeder yet except that it is on her way home from work to stop and feed. But they need to get out of there.

Latest burn incident was three wks ago and the traumatized cat is just starting to allow the feeder near him.

Little Shelter trying to help by allowing feeder to display some cats at upcoming adoption events. But those are the ones already in foster care. Last Hope had provided certs for TNR in the past and LAPnow. PETA was
involved at some point. This story was given to me through a PUPS volunteer. So, many are aware of the situation, but feeder now has hit a wall and no further leads to get remaining cats out of there.

The idea is "Just Take One" campaign for the remaining 15. So we need 15 people, each one to take one cat to either foster, place in shelter or find a home. Please spread this story to your animal network and beyond.

Hardy, Arkansas: Bear, The Cuddle Bug Looking for His Best Friend

 

This is Bear, a Red Chow and Rottie mix (according to the vet) and is approx. 16 months old. Neutered, smart, gentle, friendly with other animals and children. Was abused as a puppy, so a little timid till he gets to know you, then he's your best friend.

 

Not a mean bone in his body. Has effective bark and thinks everyone comes around here to play with him or give him treats! Not leash trained yet but is easily trainable. He desperately needs a loving, forever understanding home.

 

 In North Central Arkansas area of Hardy, Arkansas. Contact Dan at danfordnson1@yahoo.com  or call (954)232-9207 if you can help!

Wilmington, NC: Ernie, slight vision impairment but all sweet beagle boy

Ernie is a 6-7 yr old beagle that is the sweetest guy. He's neutered, up to date on shots, housetrained, crate trained and heartworm negative. Ernie was picked up as a stray by the Pender County Animal Control in Burgaw NC. He was pulled by volunteers minutes away from his inevitable death.  He was placed in a temporary foster home, but this home  is coming to an end very soon.

Ernie is visually impaired due to corneal scarring in his eyes. He has no problems seeing, gets along just great. No bumping into chairs for this guy but he does have the visual impairment. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs, people, children, we are unsure about cats.

There has been some out of state interest in him but we have not yet heard back from the person, so we have to continue our campaign to find Ernie a home. He is so gentle and easy going and just a happy little guy. We need to find his forever home soon.

Thank you for any help you can offer.

Emporia VA: Landlord insists no more dogs - 3 still need to be rehomed.

Please help these little angels. They are precious dogs caught in the middle and their Mom is desperate to find them new and loving homes.

SMOKE

*From LaRita: Hello. My name is LaRita Simmons and I live in Emporia VA. I recently reached out to Ms. Nansee In North Carolina to rehome my dog Roxy and a lot of you all responded. I have 4 other dogs who are also rescue dogs and they are also inside dogs for me. My landlord has informed me that per request of his father I'm going to have to rehome them. Therefore it would mean a lot to me if someone could help me rehome them with a family that's going to love them as much as I did when I rescued them. (2 of 5 have been rehomed, 3 still needing your help)

(above) My baby Smoke: He's a Pomeranian. I fell in love when I first saw him. Smoke has had his shots as well. I have had Smoke since 2008. He's a laid back quiet dog. He don't like to play or run around a lot he just like to chill and be him. He was recently hit by a car about 7 months ago when I went away on vacation and a coworker kept him for me. She let him out to go to the bathroom with a leash on a busy street. The car didn't literally hit him but it took all the fur and scraped the skin off the top of his back. He is very fragile. I did take him to vet to find out there was no broken bones or internal bleeding.

DIESEL

(right) Diesel: He's 5 years old so the vet told me. He too has had all of his shot. He's an Australian Cattle Dog. He don't interact with kids or other dogs. He is very loyal to his owner and very protective. He is very strong and very loving. He too is a house dog.

SMOKIE

(left) Smokie: This is the baby of the bunch. I have only had him 10 months.  He's a Lab/Dominion Pincher mix. He has been tested for worms, had his rabies shot and suppose to go back to vet in 3 weeks for another shot. I really hate to see him go. He's so spoiled. He haven't learned the technique of jumping yet. He's just my big clumsy baby.

Charlotte, NC: The Perfect Gentleman to add to your Family, please help this boy find a Loving Home.

I LOOK TOUGH ON THE OUTSIDE.  BUT I'M SOFT ON THE INSIDE. 

The vets think I am boxer/lab mix.  (People mistakenly thought I was part pitbull.)  I am 2-3 years old, love other dogs and would be a great family dog or companion.  I love the car and sit quietly looking out the window.  I've been fully vetted and all I need is a human(s) to call my own.  I am housetrained and have good manners and would love to learn more! 

Adoption fee is $200.   The adoption process includes questions, homecheck and references to make sure I'm going to a dog-savvy forever home.  As you can see, I love a good party!  This was at my pretend birthday party.
