Wilson healing in foster home

Wilson is now in his foster home and in the final stages of healing from his injuries. As you can see, he is getting ready for Halloween now. He is recovering well and will be on the available page when that is complete.

Thanks for all your kind thoughts and for caring.

Wilson moves to foster home

Well it's been a long recovery time but our Wilson has now gone to his foster home. We finally were able to take out the last stitches that had been placed where his leg bends at the elbow. They kept opening up and required so much longer to heal. He has finally been given a bath and today he rode off to spend time in his foster home and start looking for his forever home. Thanks for everyone's support and for caring.

Mikey update

Mikey is doing a little better now and some of the test results are coming back. We will be changing his antibiotics. I'm still waiting for the skin cultures to be returned. He is a much happier boy now that he is starting to feel somewhat better. His eyes and ears have been medicated and that is helping. His tail is now wagging and we are all seeing some improvement. He is not ready for a foster home yet, but, hopefully, in a week or two, he will be able to be moved in to one.

Meet Kassandra

Kassandra is a 6-year old female found as a stray and rescued from an area shelter. It was obvious that Kassy has allergies or skin problems. She has some missing and thinning hair. Very noticeably on one side of her snout and face. We have put her on a good diet for common food allergies and started her on some medication that have calmed her skin. We are also thinking that some of her skin problems are related to the anxiety of being lost and in a strange and noisy place as the shelter. So now that she is in a foster home, she is relaxing. Her skin issues were very obvious to us when we first saw Kassy, but we discovered something later, a cruciate tear , after x-rays and specialist consultation. Her limp was not very pronounce so we started her on pain medication in hope that it was a temporary condition. She responded well to the medication but the position of her rear leg while walking showed us enough to investigate further. Kassy is now scheduled for surgery that will require 5-6 weeks recovery.

Meet Mikey!

Mikey arrived in rescue today and in much need of our special care. He came to us from a local shelter and the initial reaction when someone sees him, is "oh dear, how did this boy get in such horrible condition". Upon arrival he had a whole battery of tests to determine what we were treating. He has multiple skin infections, infected ears, and a low thyroid. We immediately started him on antibiotics for the skin, and started treating his low thyroid, plus gave him a medicate bath. He was given a special food that hopefully will help with his allergies, if any, and now we just sit back and wait for tests to be returned and medication to start working.

I know he will start looking and smelling better in time and become that handsome boy that he was as a pup.
