Please take a few moments to see if you could open your heart and your home to any of these special pets.
Dingo (pictured just below) is a special gal. She is a medium-sized Australian Cattle Dog mix and is about five years old. She is neurologically impaired and has trouble standing and walking making her unsteady and wobbly. We are considering getting her a cart to help her; we are not sure if it will help, but we are going to give it a shot. It is not clear what happened to this girl to affect her neurologically. Dingo barks at her foster mom when she needs to go out to the bathroom, so she can be house trained. Dingo is ever so sweet and loving.
Boomer (seen just above) is very loving and gentle. He would love to have a home of his own and be loved. Boomer has been diagnosed with arthritis in his knee joints. He is taking a medication called Rimadyl, which enables him to be very comfortable. He will continue to need medication for the rest of his life and it is a bit difficult to inject. He still won't be able to run and leap like a normal Lab, though. Boomer is very loving and is so deserving of a good home. We are hoping that he will be able to live in a real home and receive the care and love that he deserves to have. He is only five years old and has had such a hard life so far. Maybe you can make the rest of his life special.
Terrence is a seven month old, blue-brindle and white AKC American Staffordshire Terrier. He has a rare condition that really does not have a name. The muscles in his abdomen are weak which causes him to have a huge pot belly. He has been seen by two vets and x-rayed with no satisfactory explanations. He is normal in every other way. He runs, plays, eats well and has no problem going to the bathroom. He is in no pain and is happy as can be. He should not be with other dogs that will play rough and step on his tummy. He also does not need to be with small children who could squeeze him. He is sleeping through the night and is really no trouble. But, he needs to be fed small amounts of food throughout the day instead of large meals. He is up to date on shots and wormings. He will grow to have a huge head and will weigh around 80 pounds. He will be short reaching around 21 inches high at his shoulder. He comes from a long line of gentle giants and will have a great temperament.
Tina is not over the rainbow bridge yet. Her estimated age between 12 and 14 years old. When we saw her at the shelter, we just couldn't leave her there. She is totally blind and her back legs are quite stiff. Plus she has the occasional accident. But she is always ready to be loved and be petted! She loves everyone she meets and everyone loved her. Unfortunately, poodles in this size category and of this age are often at a greater risk for developing a hereditary or genetic disease. Progressive Retinal Atrophy or PRA causes total blindness and cannot be treated. But, that should not stop this heart-stopper from coming into your life.
This is Skippy and no, there is nothing wrong with the photo. The first thing you'll notice is that large fleshy area where his fourth leg should be. Yes, he only has three legs. The next thing you are seeing are those eyes! Huge, dark green goblets staring up at you. Skippy is only 4 years old and is as gentle as a cat can be. Loves to be handled one-on-one and is fine with other cats. One other thing. He never misses a meal. And, it shows.
"Fetch, Jack!" That's what you'll be saying as you throw the ball and he gets it and brings it back for more. Yes, Jack may only have one eye, but that doesn't stop him from enjoying life. Plus, he has the most gorgeous black, shiny fur that you've ever seen. Doesn't photograph too well, though. Little Jack here was infected at an early age with a nasty strain of virus that clouded his eye. Kittens are especially susceptible to these viruses as they haven't yet developed their immune systems.
Robin is kind of unusal as he has dark, black lines which makes him sort of a black tabby. He is sweet and loving and acts more like a dog while he follows you around the house on your daily chores. Robby lost the use of one of his eyes due to a viral infection while he was a kitten. Unlike many others who were afflicted by this virus when they were young, Robby did not have to have his eye surgically removed.
