Please take a few moments to see if you could open your heart and your home to any of these special pets.
Goldie (pictured just below) is a special gal. She's a Chow-Chow/Labrador Retriever mix and is about 2 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 but at this point we're not sure it will help. We are going to give her a chance without it first though. The problem stems from the fact that we don't know what happened to this girl to affect her neurologically. Goldie barks at her foster mom when she needs to go out to the bathroom, so she can be house trained. Goldie is ever so sweet and loving.
Austin (seen just above) is very loving and gentle. He would love to have a home of his own and be loved. Austin 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 Terrier, though. Austin 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.
Clifford is a three year old old Pit Bull mix. 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 somewhat extended 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 has grown to have a larger head than normal and will weigh around 40 pounds. He will also be short reaching around 18 inches high at his shoulder.
Winston is not over the rainbow bridge yet. His estimated age between 10 and 12 years old. When we saw him at the shelter, we just couldn't leave him there. He is almost blind and his back legs are quite stiff. Plus he has the occasional accident. But he is always ready to be loved and be petted! He loves everyone he meets and everyone loves him. Unfortunately, English Bulldogs in this size category and of this age are often at a greater risk for developing other hereditary or genetic diseases. But, that should not stop this heart-stopper from coming into your life.
This is Misty and she is quite regal. But the one thing you can't see in this picture is the large fleshy area where her fourth leg should be. Yes, she only has three legs. The next thing you are seeing are those eyes! Huge, dark green goblets staring up at you. Misty 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. She never misses a meal. And, it shows.
Sarah came to us in a very unusal way. While most of our pets come from one of the kill shelters in the area as their owners have turned them in for what they assume will be sure euthanasia. Therefore those people who gave up on these animals don't have any idea what became of their pets, Sarah came to us directly from her prior owner only because the gentleman who owned her was terminal himself and he could not reasonably be expected to find someone to continue Sarah's daily regimen of fluid hydration. Sarah is about 10 years old and has failing kidneys which require a regular administration of fluids from a drip bag. It's actually quite simple if you are willing to try it just once. And, Sarah is such a trooper. Never comlains or puts up a fuss. Actually, she looks forward to it every day as we do lavish a lot of attention on her.
Ellie is kind of unusal for a Calico mix as she has dark, black lines which makes her sort of a cabby. She is sweet and loving and acts more like a dog while she follows you around the house on your daily chores. Ellie lost the use of one of her eyes due to a viral infection while she was a kitten. Unlike many others who were afflicted by this virus when they were young, Ellie did not have to have her eye surgically removed.
