Help Joe Find a Home

Sugar123 — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 02:49:50 GMT

My name is Joe and I'm not quite a year old. My leg got hurt awfully bad and some nice people found me and brought me to the doctor. She couldn't save my leg...said it was shattered just below my shoulder...but that I'd be just fine without it. I'm learning to walk again and I already know how to sit for treats and food and climb into my kennel. I'm really a good dog and I don't know why someone did this to me.

Joe's a lab mix who's had his front right leg amputated at the shoulder. He's been treated for intestinal parasites and is heartworm negative and will be neutered as soon as he recovers from this surgery. Joe is a very sweet and gentle dog, has shown now signs of dog aggression and doesn't appear to be terribly interested in cats. At the hospital, he leans up against the cage with a cat in it and doesn't even react when the cat hisses at him. He loves to be petted and when he looks at you with those big brown eyes it just melts your heart. Joe will need a home with people who know how to take care of special needs animals. Please help Joe find his forever home.

If you're interested in adopting Joe, please contact:

If you'd like to help with the cost of Joe's surgery and recovery, we'd be very grateful. We're a small group and, as always, money scarce. You can donate to Joe's fund by mailing a donation to the Natchitoches Humane Society at the above address or directly to his veterinarian, Dr. Becky Kieffer at the Natchitoches Animal Hospital, 1787 Highway 6, Natchitoches, LA 71457.

The Ofus Legacy Fund is a beautiful tribute to little Ofus. He will be remembered always and will be the guardian angel for all the animals that are helped by the Ofus Legacy Fund. And to all the volunteers that showered all their love on Ofus, thank you and bless your hearts.

Wiggles, Small Doxie with a BIG Heart, Needs Some Friends

cajunbiker — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:33:29 GMT

"Meet Wiggles! Wiggles is approx. 5-6 mo. old. He was shoved in a tiny cat crate WAY too small for him and dumped off overnight at a vet clinic’s front door. When they opened the kennel they found a shivering, scared, purebred, long haired dauchsand baby boy in pain! Wiggles' skin was infected; you could smell him all over the vet clinic. Now his skin wounds/lesions are healed and his hair is beginning to grow back.

Wiggles is in need of a foster home and a FOREVER home! The pictures below were taken, November 16, 2009; imagine what he looked like when he came to us a month ago! But Ofus' Legacy will live on in Wiggles and others like him that need the same long term loving care! .........we have established the “Ofus Legacy Fund” Any donation that is left, or that we continue to receive, for Ofus will go into the “Ofus Legacy Fund” to help other babies that are in dire need of emergency care! So every penny donated will go to the cause of helping an animal in need!"

This is an email I received from Bree, who is with the rescue who was caring for Ofus. Touching. Also, Ofus' legacy, Wiggles, information follows. I will start a new forum topic for Wiggles.

We want to thank all of you for making donations on behalf of Ofus! Ofus has had more people love him in the past week than he ever has in his entire 8 months of life!

Ofus came to us extremely emaciated to the point of blindness. Some of the blindness could have also been due to the horrific case of demodectic mange he was suffering from. The open lesions, wounds and infection covered his frail body and were so extensive and painful for this little guy. We all know that Ofus' condition was not overnight and we hope that whoever let him get in this shape gets the same sort of "care" that they gave to Ofus!

Ofus also had been hit by a car and had a fractured pelvis and shattered knee, we all knew the odds when taking in Ofus but we all wanted to try to show this deprived baby boy what true love and compassion felt like! Thanks to our volunteers and WONDERFUL and GENEROUS supporters like you, we believe he got just that and much more! Ofus was showing improvement toward the end of last week, but we all know in most cases there is a perk up just before the decline, and after this weekend he just was ready to go.

Ofus passed away in a comfortable position, in no distress, no worries on a comfy velvet cushion doggie bed. Ofus is no longer feeling pain. He is now running, pain free, happily wagging his tail on the Rainbow Bridge. Though Ofus has passed away, it was not in vain... the word got out to animal lovers like you! Because of the amazing support from you, we have established the “Ofus Legacy Fund” Any donation that is left, or that we continue to receive, for Ofus will go into the “Ofus Legacy Fund” to help other babies that are in dire need of emergency care! So every penny donated will go to the cause of helping an animal in need!

And his Legacy lives on in Wiggles….

Now his skin wounds/lesions are healed and his hair is beginning to grow back. Wiggles was not emaciated like Ofus and Wiggles IS going to make it! But of course treatment goes on and on! Any donations made on Ofus behalf will carry on to care for Wiggles and others that come to us in need of emergency and long-term care!

We will all remember Ofus and will always be enraged for the life that Ofus was suffered to endure. Sadly, we will never cease to encounter more just like Ofus' and Wiggles! Please continue to support Humane Society of CENLA or your local Humane Society so that unloved, neglected and abandoned babies like Ofus and Wiggles can feel the warmth and love that was so generously and unconditionally shown to Ofus! And for the first time in their little lives, find a Forever Home with a loving family! God Bless and thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

So many requests for donations for injured, rescued animals come in from out of state and we all gladly give. We have one here in our State – right in Pineville. No message from me is needed. Please see email below from Anne Baron who says it better than I could have. If you are inclined to send a donation for his care, paypal makes it so easy. Also, please forward so that more potential donations might be sent to them.

God bless the angel who rescued this poor baby. Thanks. Cathy

From: Anne Baron [mailto:annekbaron@cox.net]

Dear Friends,

This is the most pitiful dog I've ever seen. I called the lady who wrote this, to make sure he was even alive. She said that he is and he's improving. If you want to make a donation for his vet bill you can make it via PayPal as noted in this letter. Some of you may not want to look at these pictures. The poor little fellow looks horrible. Please pray for him and the kind people who are caring for him.

Anne

This is Ofus, a dog that was found at the State Building on Murray Street . He is suffering from a broken leg, mange, demo and infections all over his body. On top of that he is emaciated, blind in one eye and partially blind in the other eye.

Ofus is is DESPERATE need of care, which we have been giving him since 11/3/09. However the cost of his care has and will continue to be GREAT! If you would like to sponsor "Ofus" please make donations via Paypal to hscenla@aol.com<mailto:hscenla@aol.com.

Thank you for caring!

As bad as this looks in a pictures- it is WAY WORSE IN PERSON!!!

Ninja needs a home

barbara_LA — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 05:35:14 GMT

Ninja is a very cool cat. He was found almost 4 years ago and had nowhere to go other then the pound. Ninja is not your easy going, belly rubbing loving guy. He is very independent and loves to be petted - but only on his terms. Most people that have cats have one like him and we all hate it when they're doing what they want. But that is a cats nature. Ninja is a good cat as long as you do what he wants. And he has some problems with other cats - not all of them - but some. He doesn't want to be an outside cat but that's what will happen soon. He doesn't go along with my Cookie and that means - he has to go. Cookie lives with us for a long time and is family. Ninja is a foster kids that needs his own home. He is gorgeous, he could have some Bombay in him. If somebody like an independent cat that loves to sleep on the bed, drools when petted, is very funny please contact me soon. Here is my cell phone (337) 781-2362 and my e-mail bb70555@yahoo.com. I believe that there is a home for every cat - we just have to find Ninja's and hopefully soon. Please forward to everybody you can think off that could help him and me and my family of 4 legged kids.

Two Louisiana Kitties Going to Best Friends! You Can Help Them Get There!

Hi all

Kristy's last 2 feline leukemia positive cats are accepted at Best Friends in Kanab, UT.

Our fund for transport of special needs cats is empty. We could need some help - again.

We need flights for 2 people, a rental car, 2 tickets for the cats and accommodation in Kanab. We have to be there within the next 6 weeks or the space is gone.

I know everybody is looking for donations right now. Times are really hard on rescue. Adoptions are slow and donations too. Please let me know if you can help. Attached is a picture of each of the lucky cats. Harlo is the pretty marbled tabby and Stripes - as he name lets presume - is a plain vanilla Tabby.

Thanks in advance for all your help

Barbara

2 Scottish Fold need a home - together

Zadie & Isabelle’s previous owner was unable to care for them any more so they and 4 others were surrendered to different rescue organizations. They are pure bred Scottish Folds, as indicated by the "folded" ears, and this is a rare breed in the SW Louisiana area. We don’t exactly know how old they’re but they’re definitely seniors. They are related but we have no idea how. Both cats are living in foster care since end of 2006. They once were adopted out together but returned since they’re a bit shy. We would love to find a place for them together where they can spend the rest of their lives in a quiet environment either in a new home or a sanctuary place. Zadie and Isabelle are tested for FIV/FeLV, vaccinated and spayed. Please contact the foster mom Lynne @ 337-856-6628 or e-mail paawpets@gmail.com if you know how to help Zadie and Isabelle to find their final home.
