| Newsletter and URGENT NEED Alert - April 26, 2004 (If this page does not display well, CLICK HERE) Hello and welcome to our new newsletter. We have received NUMEROUS requests for more frequent updates on our little sick and adoptable babies and we certainly want to keep you all happy. So our newsletter will now focus primarily on updating you on those that YOU have allowed us to save. Have you ever wondered what a puppymill auction was like? And why we are bound and determined to remove as many little mop dogs from that type of horror? CLICK HERE for a first hand look at an Amish Puppymill auction in Ohio. UPDATE: Teena - a sweet, four month old lhasa mix puppy. After being attacked by a large, well-known aggressive dog and having the right side of her face ripped apart, Teena was left in her back yard TO ROT!! And, in fact, by the time they took her to a vet (5-7 days later) she WAS ROTTING - her wound was full of maggots eating away at her flesh. Teena is still in the intensive care hospital, but she will live and she should make a full recovery. We're anticipating needing at least $500 to help this little sweetie. We WANT to be able to help her. Please READ HER STORY HERE. PUPPYMILL RESCUES - CLICK HERE to see the update on Maddie, Gidget and Patsy Cline. URGENT NEED!!!!! Gabby - Gabby is a very sweet, very young lhasa mix who had a tumor eating away the bone on her lower jaw. She was turned over to us by another rescue unable to afford the very expensive surgery to remove the affected bone. This one was easy, but very expensive. Although we have received over $300 for her, we need another $800 to pay off that vet bill. We think she deserved to live. CLICK HERE to read about her. Mickey - Another sad story. We picked him up at a shelter in south Houston and immediately noticed that he had a horrible odor in his mouth. When our veterinarian started to perform a dental, he had to stop - Mickey's teeth were so neglected, and the jaw bone so infected, it had the consistency of "foam rubber." We had to put him on antibiotics for weeks before Dr. Robert Boyd, a canine dental specialist, dared to perform the required surgery. He did perform the surgery and we must say, it was VERY successful. But. we still need to pay off the very expensive surgery - we still need $1100. Please help. CLICK HERE. I know we are asking a lot of you wonderful people that always open your hearts to our little pups, but we have no choice if we are to continue to save their lives. THANK YOU! |
