CHECKERS

Checkers
We thought Checkers was dead for certain. Checkers was
left at animal control in a Dallas suburb and put up for
adoption. Unfortunately, Checkers became ill at the
shelter and we raced over to get him. Because of the
pound he came from and his symptoms, we immediately
suspected Canine Distemper. Unfortunately, we had
already lost two dogs to distemper just the week before.
This is a horrible, fatal disease that can result in a
painful death if not caught early.

We immediately took him to a Dallas-area specialist that
specializes in treating this disease. Checkers was in
intensive care for two weeks. When he went to his
foster home, he took ten different medicines with him.
But, he survived!! We think he is about 5 years old.

We are desperately looking for someone to sponsor at
least part of Checker's extremely high vet bill.

Above, Checkers is at the
pound, awaiting anyone to
adopt him. After some time
passed, Checkers began to
get sick with a severe upper
respiratory infection. We
immediately picked him up
and took him to the vet
specializing in Distemper.

Forever Fosters are dogs that no one wants to adopt. They
might be seniors and considered too old by most adoptive
families. Some have terminal medical conditions and
consequently, no one wants to adopt them for that reason.

But we feel that they deserve a loving home despite their
problems. So these special ones become "Forever Fosters."
This means that they live the remainder of their lives with
their foster family but in the Lone Star Shih Tzu and Lhasa
Apso Rescue "Forever Foster" program. The foster family
provides a loving home for the little dogs to live out the
remainder of their lives.

But the little dogs need YOUR help with their medical bills.
Each of the "Forever Fosters" needs a sponsor for their
veterinary bills.
