The shelter volunteers adored him and were worried he wouldn't make it out alive. <br /><br />I took one look at his shelter video and just fell for the little guy. He was so cute and playful! He loves his toys. We rescued him today!<br /><br />A shelter volunteer wrote me after hearing we rescued him and said that Buddy was in "the nose program" at the shelter. She said he has a great nose for finding things!<br /><br />Isn't Buddy a doll? Check him out on our website to learn more about this boy and to see his video:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9iWHEFDut8<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G9iWHEFDut8"></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiYhJl4H8pToscbEtKC7MxUylElhTVfr-PzNU_22cvOWPHH_XvdXLxdAQm2biy2Hj85SrFT8xvWToxHn7wzdm9XJwof4qCL1Cyq6123IwrEnKrGInI0Gt1PscTI-X02cZ7f6Mj9Morb9sF/s1600/Picture+156.png"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 221px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiYhJl4H8pToscbEtKC7MxUylElhTVfr-PzNU_22cvOWPHH_XvdXLxdAQm2biy2Hj85SrFT8xvWToxHn7wzdm9XJwof4qCL1Cyq6123IwrEnKrGInI0Gt1PscTI-X02cZ7f6Mj9Morb9sF/s320/Picture+156.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591210838440473106" /></a> <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHo-5CxQr2YDq1MX073Rtq0n5CBERX4eKthMxPT4tqIl8_yZYJEMQMj_aRQJFHAAkyU6NsqyGWtgMI-GPNqrcV85Sjc2izoR4-LGAP8CC_60LVX7jf2EhzZY27TV9Q9MD27tf2OVDrhVMi/s1600/Picture+158.png"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 243px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHo-5CxQr2YDq1MX073Rtq0n5CBERX4eKthMxPT4tqIl8_yZYJEMQMj_aRQJFHAAkyU6NsqyGWtgMI-GPNqrcV85Sjc2izoR4-LGAP8CC_60LVX7jf2EhzZY27TV9Q9MD27tf2OVDrhVMi/s320/Picture+158.png" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591210835336488754" /></a>Critters in Need Pet Rescuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06222010308772723413noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3355663297146719284.post-60807234792254627152011-03-24T21:42:00.000-07:002011-03-24T21:57:35.295-07:00The Tragic Shepherd<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7QUzwJQxlNPdUwn_J30Utvp0fGUoaSIVOVWhhD-2h4t8Y1-CuKpaWKVThy4eqPvU2OXl5oaXHLz2q6lQYrxvgC0ao1-FOm-BdP2u6WZ88B6LLDe3qCUz5Dk9GQPmCHBN7ycWc2dhs0w6y/s1600/Picture+153.png"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 263px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7QUzwJQxlNPdUwn_J30Utvp0fGUoaSIVOVWhhD-2h4t8Y1-CuKpaWKVThy4eqPvU2OXl5oaXHLz2q6lQYrxvgC0ao1-FOm-BdP2u6WZ88B6LLDe3qCUz5Dk9GQPmCHBN7ycWc2dhs0w6y/s320/Picture+153.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587874718607676978" border="0"></a>We rescued two shepherd mixes from a high-kill shelter that were on death row yesterday afternoon. The shelter told no one that one of the dogs was very sick. Amazing that they didn't notice his very labored breathing (watch the videos I took this morning and you too will wonder how they missed it). <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCapwOYmRLnWS18tEJ_MwA3ZhwWpAMBebMzXALrpTzq93xQmU5_Ua55R-4EuPdd0TuNAkui0tXHdgqlo4MH9cQazvj0TkCKmWiL2I3ynrqmg4tGBZw2OM4kinAEBB4Cn9UGUPna8aPPt37/s1600/Tragic-Devore-Shep_7.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 299px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCapwOYmRLnWS18tEJ_MwA3ZhwWpAMBebMzXALrpTzq93xQmU5_Ua55R-4EuPdd0TuNAkui0tXHdgqlo4MH9cQazvj0TkCKmWiL2I3ynrqmg4tGBZw2OM4kinAEBB4Cn9UGUPna8aPPt37/s320/Tragic-Devore-Shep_7.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5587874715079815954" border="0"></a>The poor boy. I rushed him to my vet this morning. He was really struggling. Breathing was difficult. He'd walk a little bit, but then he'd give up and lie back down again.<br /><br />My vet said his tongue was blue and that he would need oxygen right away. Also, the dog would need the usual blood and urine tests and x-rays. Naturally, he would have needed to be hospitalized. There were lesions (I think that's the word they used) on the tongue and eyelid. <br /><br />But the vet said that he could tell by the way he was breathing that he had partial laryngeal paralysis. (And likely pneumonia, even a possibility of cancer.) They couldn't even find out the extent of the paralysis because he'd have to be sedated, which was not possible in his current condition. Basically they said that his prognosis was so guarded, coupled with the fact that the laryngeal paralysis could only be managed for a time before he would suffocate ... the vet said that there really wasn't much of a choice but to put him down.<br /><br />I cried buckets and went through almost a whole box of Kleenex. I petted him for almost 45 minutes, telling him what a good boy he was. It was so awful. I wanted to save him so much. You could tell he had been a pretty dog when he was young. I rubbed his ears a lot and talked to him. I told him I loved him. <br /><br />I couldn't stay in the room with him when they did it ... I was already a basket case, so they took him in the back. When they opened the door to take him into the back, he got up and walked through the door.<br /><br />But at least he got another day with his sister, the dog he came in with. He wasn't at that horrible shelter in an outside run with no bedding to keep him warm. He slept on blankets last night and spent some time in the sun this morning. But I'm still devastated. I really wanted to save him. I'm crying as I write this.<br /><br />I had called the shelter on the way to the vet to find out what I could about him. Turns out that the dogs' owner had died and the next-of-kin didn't want them, so they dumped the dogs at the shelter. Nice.<br /><br />This shelter does not have a vet on staff like many shelters do. A vet does a visual exam of the dogs at intake, I was told on the phone. If all seems well, the dog does not get looked at again by a vet unless it stops eating and drinking. This poor boy did not receive any medications while he was at the shelter. He arrived on the 7th and exited on the 23rd.<br /><br />I called the shelter again to see if they could tell me the other dog's name or if there was a way to get the rabies info (both dogs had their rabies shots in Dec. 2010), but seems the family didn't bother to supply any of that.<br /><br />We'll need to vet the other dog soon. She has diarrhea, but we don't see anything that requires immediate vetting.<br /><br />Compare his intake photo taken on March 7 to the photo and videos taken today. What a change.<br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dzQz3Ta_UA5tH5j8N5x4X-M9a-qaiAuHblxfgnsQ6LDp3XMy7rqDGk4qgvsHwq3uNrcaz2bc2wPk0mQRVljdg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dw3u9Ug44I7ZRBO-eqtnwnz7vLEWhP13DySmEyrl5Un7GaWXgjige5HH4TvXxON4Fb_DwQBRxpNkEJJ1wutyg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Critters in Need Pet Rescuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06222010308772723413noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3355663297146719284.post-76381199843429314092011-03-12T22:19:00.000-08:002011-03-12T22:19:29.339-08:00Snowball and his brand new pal, Milo<iframe width="425" height="344" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/qh0j9MHE7RE?fs=1" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen=""></iframe>Critters in Need Pet Rescuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06222010308772723413noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3355663297146719284.post-1988483594495673162011-02-12T23:42:00.000-08:002011-02-12T23:43:34.833-08:00Rocky A3982427This was a video made of Rocky back in June 2009 at the Baldwin Park shelter. (Found there was a posting of it still on the internet.) I saw him there and rescued him--couldn't let this sweet old boy die in the shelter! He was quickly adopted by a lovely couple who gave him a great life. I was lucky to be Rocky's pet sitter in September 2010. Rocky died a few months later of cancer. I will miss him.

He spent 11 months in a kennel with his brother, Herman. Finally, Toby and Herman were recently adopted by a retired couple who heard their sad story.<br /><br />BUT THEY CAN'T AFFORD THE SURGERY!

He had been left outside in the searing heat, was covered in sores and flies, couldn't walk--he could barely lift his head. <br /><br />The vet suggested that we put him down as the dog had a heart condition on top of everything else, but we couldn't do that--not without at least trying to save his life. <br /><br />Amazingly, the dog surprised all of us, including our vet, and he responded well to treatment.

These two sweet brothers finally got adopted when someone read their sad story on Petfinder.com. The only problem was that the couple lived in Tucson and we only adopt out in California (because we always do home checks).<br /><br />Well, we talked to the couple at length, and they were so patient with the process. Finally, a rescuer who lives in AZ did the home check. All was well, so I rented a car and drove Herman and Toby to their new home.<br /><br />We took off on a Saturday and got there that night. I spent the night at their new home, helping the dogs and the new owners to get acclimated. I was sad that I could only stay overnight, but I had to get back home.<br /><br />I was sad to say good bye to Herman and Toby also, but so happy to finally have these two loves in their forever home--and together too! No small feat to keep two dogs that love each other (and are brothers to boot) together, especially two mastiff mixes. <br /><br />But we did it! And Herman and Toby can now live happily ever after.<br /><br />P.S. Herman is the brown brindle and Toby is the black dog. Aren't they adorable? I sure think so! :-DCritters in Need Pet Rescuehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06222010308772723413noreply@blogger.com0
