BUSY DAY!

Today was an extremely busy day!  We had a booth at the Mutt March and there were many dogs and owners.
A huge thank you to Pet Refuge for helping set up and holding the dogs.
Thank you Leslie, Jennifer, Gary, and Liam for joining the event and helping out :-)

We miss you Merlin

Today, September 17th, Merlin passed away from an intestinal tumor. Barb and Jerry went beyond ownership to find out what was causing Merlin pain. Unfortunately, during an ultrasound an unknown object was seen in the intestinal area. During surgery today, the tumor was found to be attached to his intestine and more tumors were found on other organs.

To Barb and Jerry, may you have the greatest memories of your first Doberman.

To Merlin, we will miss you  coming to our house when Barb and Jerry go to field trials.

We will never forget you!

BG the Pug Update

It is amazing how wonderful people can be!  The cost of BG's heartworm treatment is $350 (yes, this is a discount). We have $325 raised and this amount was raised in LESS than two weeks. 
Amazing and wonderful!!
When BG's treatment is complete, she will be up for adoption.

Cassandra: GR and Catahoula

If there ever was a mix that I would love to keep... Uh, okay, that would be ALL of them, hee her.

Cassandra is a Golden Retriever and Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog mix. She has the gentleness of the Golden and the inquisitiveness of the Catahoula. YEs, Catahoula's are known to climb trees, but Cassandra has not shown that interest. Nor, has she shown interest in swimming, although she does place her feet in the water!

Cassandra can be seen at Joshica's Planet Canine Wednesday evenings from 6:30 to 7:30 beginning September 4th. She will be beginning her Basic Manners Course with her handler, Mary!!

PUG: Heartworm Positive!

B.G. needs help ASAP. She is heartworm positive and the sooner we get her treated, the sooner we can get this lap-sitter spayed and adopted out!

B.G. gets along with other dogs, children, AND cats. She is also housebroken!!

The veterinarian estimates her age to be between 4 and 5 years. The picture makes her head look huge, but she is actually very petite, LOL.

Fran, Fred, and Duncan

Dachshunds, Dachshunds everywhere!  Two seniors and an adult have come into the rescue.  They are ALL lap sitters, love taking long walks, and little kissers :-)

Visit us at Rural King in Niles on the 31st to see these cute little snuggle-bugs in person.  They are a joy to have around, but would LOVE to have homes to call their own.

Duncan 4 year old smooth

Fred: 7 yr old wirehair and smooth

Fran's picture is coming soon!

Heidi

It is with a very heavy heart that we say goodbye to Heidi today. She had a wonderful last few months in her home with Carolyn and her Golden Retrievers. The horrible metastasized cancer that took our wonderful Heidi did not prevent her from showering Carolyn and her crew with love.

Rest pain free Heidi.
