URGENT: Hartford, CT ASAP: Pittie girl Jersey in need of a RESCUE/SANCTUARY to take her in!!!!

Chicos_Momma — Sun, 28 Feb 2010 02:15:56 GMT

The following is a desperate plea from a friend of mine who is looking to place this sweet girl.....if anyone can help please contact my friend Donna, her contact info is in the posting below!!!! Kelly (Chico's Momma)

Yet again pittie Jersey is homeless and we have a serious emergency!! Just last Sunday I brought her to a family who adopted her.Friday Jersey attacked another dog in the neighborhood while out on a walk because the teenage daughter walking her was careless. Thankfully the other dog is okay and it apparently was not a seious incident at all, but the daughter said she was "traumatized" and would never look at her the same.I had to go get her and we are currently camped out on the floor where I work with nowhere to go. This poor dog has been through so much and all she wants is a family of her own to love her and keep her,she just can't be with other animals unless her guardian is responsible and experienced. After losing her original home,the only one she ever knew, she spent almost a month trapped in boarding,scared and confused. I couldn't even pay my rent from paying the boarding bill and being there was killing her spirit.I thought she was finally in a forever home until today's disaster happened.Jersey is smart,energetic and extremely affectionate!She is about 1 1/2 yrs old,spayed and UTD on shots. If you can foster this baby girl,please call me at 860-869-7235.I AM DESPERATE AND BEGGING!!!-Thank you,Donna Truhn

Thank you for this post it is very helpful

Female Black Lab Needs Home

Rebecca28 — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 19:46:09 GMT

I rescued a female black lab on June 8th in Jackson, TN. Her owner had passed away several months ago and she was left to wander the streets. She has been vetted, has been spayed, is about 8 years old (her eyes are starting to get that blue tint) and she is heartworm positive. She cannot be treated for the heartworms because she is so thin. I currently have her boarded at Country View Kennels where she is now being fed puppy food and on a daily vitamin. She is feeling so much better and has a TON of energy. She is a bit of a leash puller though.

I am trying to find someone with a fenced in yard that needs that the love of an energetic black lab as she loves to go outside! I am not asking for any money for her...just someone to love her. I will provide her monthly heartguard and will pay for heartworm treatment when she is healthy enough to receive treatment. She is not the youngest pup and she is not the healthiest...but she is absolutely precious and deserves a home. Please, if anyone is interested you may contact me at 731-423-8316 and ask for Becky.

TN Lost/Rescue Needs/Transport Needs : Need Transport from Loudon, TN to Colorado

catgrrl — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 21:39:27 GMT

Transport needed for mom dog and her 5 newborn (approx.1 week old pups). To keep her calm and ensure that she continues nursing her pups, she must travel without any other animals except for the pups. It would also be good if transporters have experience bottle-feeding newborn pups in the event the mom stops nursing them. Need a size 4 or 5 crate. Would like to do this trip in no more than 2 legs if possible, to minimize stress on dogs.

PLEASE CONTACT ME DIRECTLY AT:
domarino@earthlink.net

Thank you!

MUST HAVE RESCUE BY ASAP!!!!!!!!
MOE --- HW+ LOW ANTIGEN, MALE, EXCELLENT TEMPERAMENT LAB MIX, LOVES TENNIS BALLS
What a sweet guy! This boy is awesome! He loves tennis balls. I tried to get a picture with one in his mouth, but the second I handed it to him, he spit it right back at me and waited for me to toss it again. He obviously won that game. He’s a great dog and weighs around 54 lbs. This is a fun lovin’ boy!

MUST HAVE RESCUE BY ASAP!!!!!!!!
DAZZ (HOBO) --- HW+ LOW ANTIGEN, MALE, VERY UNIQUE LOOKING BOY!
Dazz was picked up by a local person as he was wandering the streets. They only had him for 3 days, but said that he is good with other dogs and ignored the cat. They also stated he is housetrained for at least 6 hours. He was crated when left alone. I can tell you he seems like he has a very happy-go-lucky attitude where just about everything is OK. He’s a cute boy and weighs 44 lbs. He is approximately 2 yrs old.
http://www.flickr.com/photos/mckameyanimalcenter/3660346779/

MUST HAVE RESCUE BY ASAP!!!!!!!!
EPSY --- HW+ HIGH ANTIGEN, FEMALE,GOLDEN MIX!
When Epsy came in she was very quiet and shy...almost unresponsive. I visited with her today. She has made a 180 degree turnaround. She’s a great dog! She wags her tail, runs to the front of the kennel and yelps for attention. She will give you kisses and plead with you with her big brown eyes. She is 2 yrs old and weighs 59 lbs.

MUST HAVE RESCUE BY ASAP!!!!!!!!
MOJO --- HW+ LOW ANTIGEN, MALE, SWEET AS CAN BE!
I don’t know a lot about this 2 yr old boy other than the fact that he deserves a chance at the good life. He is very sweet and seems fairly calm. He practically smooshes himself into the kennel door to receive a pat on the head. He will also give you kisses. He weighs 43 lbs.

TN Adoption/Rehabilitation/Rehoming Requests : 2 LABS NEED RESCUED

pattyricia — Wed, 24 Jun 2009 19:28:18 GMT

In LaVergne TN, 2 labs were abandoned in a field to fend for themselves through the winter. They survived. We need help to capture them, and a place for them to be rehabilitated. They are not aggressive, just very afraid of people. We have contacted various rescues in the area, but no one will or can help. We need 2 humane traps, and someone to help with the vetting, and a place for them to live and learn that people are good. Please if there is anyone or a rescue that can help, we would be forever in your debt.

TN Adoption/Rehabilitation/Rehoming Requests : Fonda and Jill need homes

meriatl — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 12:59:46 GMT

Fonda has been here since mid April. She is a fun loving, tenderhearted gal who just needs a break. She is a large girl around 65 lbs and super sweet. She may be a little picky about her dog friends, but not too picky. She is around 3 yrs old. She is a little timid, but loves to be petted. She has been fully vaccinated and is heartworm negative.

Jill is a great kitty. She is around 3.5 yrs old and has been here since July 2008. She would like someone to cater to her every need, but she truly is deserving. Please help us get this kitty her throne! She would prefer to be an only kitty, but may accept another kitty as long as there is ample space to run about without running into the other kitty all the time. The spaces at the Center are too small to give us this option.

You can see pics of Jill and Fonda (as well as many other deserving cats, dogs, puppies and kittens) at the link below. Don’t forget to look at our HW+ dogs as well. We have a beautiful Blue Pit Bull girl available. She’s a doll. Kenna is also a doll and deserves a chance at the good life.

RE: Cell dogs

beverleysage — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 16:34:30 GMT

I wasn't thinking of starting one myself I have to many non profits that I help with myself. Including fostering for local rescues and shelters that need a temporary place. I was just wondering if we had one around here or if anyone knew of any that worked. I have a friend who is in Kansas who said there is a program like that there that works wonderfully.

RE: Cell dogs

vettech28 — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 05:39:37 GMT

I think you should check with a local program like that and see if there's any way you can volunteer or help out with the program, even if it's taking care of the animals at a shelter.

bouillon powder
salt

Scrub the pig ears well, cleaning them under running tap water. (I've even scrubbed them with a bit of soap.) Using a pair of sharp, sturdy kitchen scissors, cut the ears into about three pieces each.

Dip or brush each piece of ear with oil, then place them on a baking sheet. When all ear pieces are dipped or brushed, sprinkle bouillon powder and a little bit of salt over the sheet's contents. Be careful not to over-salt them! (Most of the commercial ones I've bought for my dog send her running to her water dish for a huge drinking orgy after she's finished eating an ear. I think they contain too much salt.)

Bake the ear pieces in the oven at a low 250 degrees for five or six hours.

Drain on paper towels. Feed to your doggie one piece at a time - this is important for small dogs. My dog would happily eat a whole ear all at once, but I doubt it's good for her. These smaller chews are better for smaller dogs.

I was watching a program on animal planet tonight called cell dogs. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about any of these programs. From what I saw it was a good program for all involved, expessially the dogs who were adopted. In the south we have a population problem and have a large amount of high kill shleters in the state, I am wondering if this is a project I should look into undertaking. Any ideas, suggestions, have personal experience with one of these programs?
