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.

| 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. CLICK HERE to find one YOU can help. |
