2/23/16 – An Update on Finn and Ruby: We were contacted by Heather with the following story:
“On Christmas Eve my friend and I were on our way to deliver Xmas cookies to the homeless. We noticed while exiting the freeway two dogs running past us towards the freeway. We immediately got out and were running after these dogs on the shoulder of the freeway to save them from getting hit. We put them in our car once caught and now they are at my residence in Clinton Twp. They are isolated as there is no way they are up to date on anything and looks like they were just used in someone’s backyard for breeding. The female is plump but had fleas and burrs matted in her hair. The male is in bad shape as you can feel every one in his hips and he walks with a hitch as I think he may have bad hips? He’s skinny and has burrs matted in his hair. They appear to be older like between 7-10? They are currently still in my basement in a kennel and we take them out every few hours but they need vet care. My guess is they most likely have worms and heart worms.
My friend and I are willing to foster them until a rescue can take them on. It’s not ideal as we both have our own animals but we can’t see them get euthanized. Every place I’ve Called is full. It’s been almost a week now so I need a plan as to how to get these animals healthy. ~ Heather”
4 Paws 1 Heart worked with Precious Pets to take care of medical treatment for Ruby and Finn which included treatment for heart worm. Finn is now ready to be adopted but Ruby is pregnant. Anyone interested in Finn should contact Heather at [email protected]
