4/10/24 – Today we received the following e mail from a rescuer we helped in 2017. Thankfully, Robin, rescued handsome Mason.

“Hello. This is Robin (Robin Marie on Facebook) You helped me with my Hope in 2017 and she was Ms October 2018. February 2nd 2023 Our brave fighter lost her battle. A fight everyone said wasn’t even worth it. But you guys helped us and prayed along with us! That’s what gave her 6 more years of breathing life and loving it! I’m forever grateful for that!!

Today I’m reaching out for some assistance with a stray dog I have. He was found in Detroit 12/28/23, dragging a 10-foot chain. He was so hungry. I actually first spotted him eating out of a large garbage pile on the side of the road. I was on the phone with a friend who does outreach in Detroit. They came out and helped me secure the dog. Once in our custody, it was obvious his life wasn’t the greatest. However, we try not to judge. He was posted on local sites and reported to DACC. No one ever claimed him.

The person with the outreach group called another animal rescuer and was able to get the dog seen by a vet. He was throwing up garbage and corn on the cob chunks. X-rays were inconclusive. He was given meds and supportive care. He received a rabies shot and tested negative for heartworm in January. He has had no additional vetting. They did sign over his medical paperwork to me. I’ve named this sweet boy Mason. He’s roughly 1-2 years old. Around 50 lbs. Unaltered. Im looking to get help with getting him neutered, the rest of his vaccines, and heartgard/nextgard. I’m actively looking for a rescue to take him or a forever home. In the 3.5 months now, I’ve reached out to over 20 rescues with no luck. I’d prefer if he went to a forever home. But I’m financially unable to provide the care he needs. Any help will be very appreciated!”

Mason will be seen and treated at Patterson Veterinary Hospital. Please contact Robin through facebook message. You can find her under Robin Marie or contact me at: [email protected] I can then put you in touch with Robin. – diana
