Luckless Lucky Needs a Change of Fate

ktaylor2010 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:05:25 GMT

Lucky is a 6 year old Jack Russell and is in dire need of a home environment. Lucky has had the worst luck, but an angel is working hard to make sure Lucky's life begins to reflect his name.

Lucky is presently at a no-kill facility, the Ocean City Humane Society in New Jersey and his link on petfinder.com is http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=14516835&mtf=1

Alexandra first met Lucky a couple of months ago when she began volunteering at the shelter. It took a while to warm up to Lucky and to understand him. He was a pathetic little thing, very misunderstood, becoming increasingly neurotic in the confines of a concrete cell. In his cell he barked his head off, ran around in circles and was bouncing off the walls. When Alexandra would take him for walks Lucky was so nervous and he did not want to leave the shelter grounds. Instead of walks, Lucky and Alexandra would sit "quietly" outside in the sun. Lucky sniffed, he surveyed his surroundings, he enjoyed treats, and he really seemed to relish the few moments of "peace".

A couple of weeks ago, Lucky was adopted! Apparently by a couple who had had "experience" with Jack Russells. Unfortunately, he was returned in less than a week. The tragic thing is that when brought back to the shelter, Lucky was blind. The adopters "claim" his eyes were watering when they took him but once he went home with them he was blind.

Alexandra went to see Lucky a few days ago and he was a mess. Clearly in pain both physically and emotionally. The results of a brief check by a visiting wellness vet is Lucky needs to have one eye removed. It is thought that Lucky can see "shadows" with the other. He is currently on pain meds to reduce the pain he is in.

Alexandra deeply feels that the kennel environment is going to destroy this poor boy and he needs out fast! Uunfortunately he apparently does not get along with other animals and his social skills are quickly deteriorating.

Alexandra knows he needs medical attention, training, and a LOT of LOVE. He's a misunderstood little boy who deserves a chance. If she could, Alexandra would welcome him into her home and get him the best medical care available. She has five seniors (three are Best Friends kids) and has her hands full. Alexandra has made it a priority and a mission of mercy to find Lucky a home.

Can you reach out and welcome Lucky into your home?.

Please contact Alexandra for more information via email (zjdf44@aol.com); you can also go to the Petfinder site, link is above, or contact the Ocean City Humane Society at (609) 399-2018.

Thank you in advance for your care and concern!

Dog In Need of Adoption: Pacino, Black&White Beagle X/CCAS

lharkinish — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:19:13 GMT

Pacino has been sitting in his kennel for the last week trembling with fright. He would rarely come inside, even when it was cold out. Today, was the day. We had to show him that we would never hurt him and were really nice people, if you gave us a chance. He was scared to come out, but finally did. Once outside in the play area,he looked around, checking it all out, and got comfortable. He is fine now, and enjoying not shaking anymore. He even felt up to getting his shots today and was a good boy. Likes to run and play and then comes and lays next to you for some belly rubs and attention.

Pacino is 7+ years old and weighs 27 lbs. You can tell he was loved by his family and wants to go home. He is already neutered, so he is already to go. He would make someone a very nice companion. If anyone has room, for this sweet boy, please contact me.

Cats In Need of Adoption: 2 FELV Kitties Searching for Loving Home/

lharkinish — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 19:15:44 GMT

We are sending out a plea for a home or homes for two precious FELV kitties. Jack is a DSH gray male, age 6 months, very social and active kitten. Tina is 2 years old, can be a little shy at first with strangers, but very sweet. They have no signs of illness. Both have tested positive for FELV and need homes as the only cat, together with no other cats or either with other non-aggressive FELV kitties. Their lives may be shortened but can have years left if kept healthy. It is not healthy for them to be caged with limited free time, they want to enjoy life. Can everyone please crosspost in the event there may be someone who can give a loving home to one or both of these beautiful kitties.

Window Of Opportunity for Homeless Pets

Window of opportunity opens for homeless pets

BY DONNA ROLANDO

Suburban Trends

STAFF WRITER

Puppies once at the end of their leash of life are now finding themselves in the "window of opportunity" at Scuffy’s Pet Store in Wayne in a partnership designed to showcase rescued animals in need of a good home to families who might adopt.

"We get a tremendous amount of traffic here," said Scuffy’s owner Stacey Gelkopf of how she hopes her high-volume store will help make a difference for The Last Resort Animal Rescue and Sanctuary, a West Milford nonprofit.

Owner of Scuffy’s for almost 25 years, Gelkopf explained that the store recently accomplished a major renovation and decided that a new mission should accompany its new look. That led to the creation of what employees are calling the "window of opportunity" where homeless animals would get a second chance.

On this particular day, three adorable puppies are slumbering in the window of opportunity and don’t have to do much to draw onlookers at what is indeed a high traffic area next to the movie theater in the Preakness Shopping Center on Hamburg Turnpike. One white and black pup is soaking up water from a spout but his siblings aren’t interested. When fully grown, these dogs of mixed descent will be medium to large in stature.

Scuffy’s is not charging anything for the puppies but The Last Resort will ask that families meet adoption criteria, fill out an application (available on line) and then provide an adoption donation of about $300, which covers medical needs like spaying and neutering, according to volunteers.

Lisa Rose, a volunteer with The Last Resort, said that she hopes that the window of opportunity at Scuffy’s will start a trend where pet stores will become showcases for homeless dogs.

Gelkopf, the store owner, said that she does not expect to lose financially by donating the window to homeless dogs. In fact, she reasons that those who enhance their families with an adoption from the store are likely to frequent Scuffy’s for their pet-care products.

Before deciding on The Last Resort, Gelkopf said that Scuffy’s researched different animal welfare agencies to find one that would be the best fit for the store’s special window.

She chose The Last Resort because of the unique work that it does rescuing dogs that face unnecessary euthanasia by inhumane methods at kill shelters in southern states like Tennessee and Georgia. Samantha Grieves helps transport the dogs from state to state by assigning drivers, from among her 300 volunteers, about a one and a half hour stretch in the journey. The organization exists entirely on donations and volunteer efforts and recently put out a plea for help in getting over one of its toughest funding hurdles. Several dogs came in with health problems – like heart worm – all at the same time and The Last Resort felt like would have to close its doors.

Even today, funding and volunteer foster homes remain the nonprofit’s big needs, but Grieves counted down a variety of ways to help, from baking for a sale to inspecting a foster home to driving to Newark Airport to pick up a new doggie arrival.

Since the rescue operation was launched in July of 2008, Grieves said that it has gone from saving two or three dogs a week to sometimes 10 dogs weekly. A total of 320 dogs have been rescued from kill shelters, since Grieves and Nancy Warner, president of The Last Resort, pulled their resources together to benefit the animals, she said.

The number of foster homes ranges from five to 10 and, "all of our fosters are full right now," so more are urgently needed, she said. To meet growing needs, The Last Resort also rents kennels in the Newfoundland area of West Milford along with kennel space down South where animals must pass a health watch before being transported to New Jersey.

It’s hard for these volunteers not to take on more dogs and cats because those connected with The Last Resort are well aware of the many kill shelters in the South and how the methods of destroying the animals are cruel, including electrocution and gas chambers.

Although The Last Resort is proud to have saved over 300 dogs, volunteers realize that many more lives are being lost to the kill shelters.

"The statistics are staggering," Rose said.

Grieves added, "Six to 10 million dogs a year are euthanized in the United States."

Although much of the work The Last Resort performs is with dogs, cats are also among the rescues.

Dogs In Need of Adoption: 2 Female Mini Dachshunds

lharkinish — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 16:02:02 GMT

A co-worker of mine is moving to an apartment where he and his wife cannot keep their two mini dachsunds. They are moving this weekend 11/14/09. They are spayed females, short hair, 7 y.o. and 9 y.o. I think they would like to see them stay together if possible. They are AKC registered and one is marbled.
Please let me know if you are interested or know anyone who would be in providing them a loving home. thelaclaires@verzion.net
Thanks, Cheri
