ROO

Poor Roo!!!! Roo was found by a lovely woman when she was delivering mail. Roo was malnurished and starved and had terrible mange. But what struck everyone upon first seeing Roo was his front legs: they are folded over! Roo has a SEVERE case of a condition known as Carpal Subluxation Syndrome- his "wrist" joints have become so dislocated due to bad malnutrion that his front feet are basically flippers, and can not remain straight. He is walking entirely on his carpal bones- or wrists. Roo needs help. Roo needs sponsers! He will require a lot of vet work both for his demodex mange, and the regular appointments with the orthopedic specialist to help him "get back on his feet". We are doing everything we can for Roo, but are expecting a very large vet bill! If you would like to make a tax-deductable donation, please click below. Roo will also be going up for adoption in a few months when he has recovered. Because of his age, we are worried that Roo will not recover fully, and will always be "down in the front" and walk like he has kangaroo feet on his front legs. He will need a very special home. If you think you may be that home please also contact me. The pictures say it all!

Sunny- SAVED AND ADOPTED

Beautiful, loving, trusting Sunny- a classic in dog. She is the sweetest and kindest golden retriever who thumps her tail so willingly for any and all friends to dogs. Sunny was used and abused by her "owners", forced to pump out litter after litter every heat cycle. When Sunny was 5 years old, she suddenly was no longer producing puppies. She grew hormonal and her teets swelled, but no puppies ever were produced. So her owners decided she was no longer worth their time, and they dumped her at animal control. We did discover why Sunny was not getting pregnant- her ovaries and uterus were covered in large golf ball sizes cysts. She had surgery and was spayed and had all cysts removed. She is recovering nicely. We also discovered that apprently sunny wasn't worth $7 a month- She wasn't on HW preventative. Sure enough, Sunny came back highly positive for heartworms. Sunny needs donations to help cover her already hefty vet bills, plus her ongoing heartworm treatment.

The Cingo Memorial Fund

Chingo came into the rescue on April 20th. You see, Chingo and her brother Burley, a black lab, were dumped at animal control in gaston county, where most of our dogs are pulled from. There wouldn't be anything unsual about this sad story except for one thing- Chingo was 16 years old, and Burley was 12. Their owners had abandoned these poor dogs in their final years, alone in a cold forsaken concrete run. No warm bed, no soft words, no kind touches- after 16 years of loyalty. Chingo couldn't walk or lift her head very easily- she was very tired and sick and heartbroken. So yes, we pulled Chingo and Burley, but with the idea that with all that Chingo has given to her horrible people- with 16 years of love and dedication behind her, how could we let her go into the cold and dark gas chamber and die a slow painful death? So Chingo and Burley were picked up and taken to the vet, where Chingo was loaded with enough morphine to allow her to walk on her own power. She came back home and we set her up in a nice pen in the sun in the front yard and let her bask with her buddy and enjoy the day. We fed her lobster tail with chocolate sauce, and then we had the vet come over and kindly, lovingly with Burley by herside and my arms around her, Chingo was led across the bridge. She deserved it- no more pain and loneliness.

The Chingo Fund allows us to continue to help senior dogs abandoned by their owners who do not want to pay the money to have their dogs kindly and humanely euthenized. The Chingo Fund allows us to pull these dogs and have them humanely euthenized in the loving arms of someone who cares about them, and wants whats best. It gives them a dignified death.
