Meet Tabitha

This sweet girl is from an area shelter. The neglect is evident in the condition of her skin and coat. Her teeth are worn down from chewing on herself, both her ears are infected and one of her eyes has an infection. Even with all this going on, she still greets everyone with a wiggly back end and wagging tail.

Meet Sargent Major

Sarge was caught by Animal Control and brought into the shelter as a stray. He has some lumps and bumps, hair loss (probably from fleas), and could use to gain a little weight as we can easily see his ribs. Sarge is in a foster home and getting some TLC including good food and antibiotics for his skin. We are waiting to neuter him until his skin clears up. He is really a great dog with an amazing temperament. Very much the Golden Retriever temperament we all love.

 

Laura Ann recently had a re-check after completing her first round of antibiotics. She has gotten stronger and more steady on her feet. The doctor has prescribed another round of antibiotics and then a re-check with chest x-ray in two weeks. Her eyes seem to still be irritated so we will try a different medication. She has gained weight and strength and is well enough to start some basic training. She is proving to be sweet, loyal and very smart, as you can see for yourself.

Adam's fight is over, the pain is gone

Friday night: Our heart is breaking as our little warrior is still fighting and has suffered a couple of seizures. More tests. 

Saturday: Little Atom’s levels are dropping and not stablizing. He could have possible distemper. The decision was made to give this boy peace and be free of pain. Good night sweet pup. Rest In Peace.

This is so very hard on all of us but especially to those that held this pup close to them. Thank you to the staff and doctors at VCA Advanced Veterinary Care Center and the volunteers who prayed for Atom along the way. Gives lots of hugs to your pups today.

Atom - Good but Guarded

Eating and Drinking - Wednesday, August 1
His positive steps are small and timely, licking up a little food, drinking on his own...but everyone is determined and dedicated to get this puppy out of the hospital and have him learning what a puppy should be experiencing at this age. Although our volunteer could not hold him since he was sleeping soundly, she was able to pet him as he opened his eyes slowly to take a peek and then back to sleep.

Liking Chicken - Thursday, August 2
Atom is eating some chicken and puppy food, but still has low levels of sodium and protein.

Getting closer to independence but still guarded - Friday, August 3
Atom has been removed from IV medications and can now take them orally. Atom is still just eating a bit, doing his P and P , and sleeping most of the time.

Atom's surgery successful

Saturday, July28:  Emergency surgery was performed and now Atom is facing a difficult recovery. Your donation will help cover the costs of his emergency as well as provide life supporting after care in the hospital.

Sunday, July 29: Now for the hard part!  Surgery went well and now he is being monitored and provided with plasma, fluids and nutrients while testing his levels throughout the day.
