REST IN PEACE BUTCH

Posted on by

Last Monday 4 paws 1 heart was contacted about an injured stray. We were able to arrange an exam and then he returned Monday for sedation. The doctor quickly discovered the major injury was his jaw wasn’t attached. The humane thing to do was euthanize while he was under anesthesia. This is never an easy decision but none of us wanted him to suffer. Thank you to Kevin Anthony Krok for giving Butch love and kindness during his final days.

This is why your support is critical. Otherwise, this dog would have suffered a very long time. Gina

HOPE IS READY

Posted on by

Sweet little Hope had her final vaccines and spay surgery yesterday. Hope was rescued by a neighbor after her owner put her outside to fend for herself when they moved. That’s when Hope was attacked by another animal and had bite wounds on her neck. She was also very underweight with an eye injury. Now she’s ready for adoption!!!! Please contact her foster momma Dee Brown Gudenau for details! Gina

THIS GUY WAS FOUND MONDAY NIGHT

Posted on by

His rescuer reached out to me to see if we cold help because he appeared injured. Fortunately, we were able to get him examined today. His neck area is very swollen, he has dried bloody drool on his forelegs, there os a bad odor from his mouth, and we were unable to look inside his mouth due to pain. Full sedation will be needed to do a full exam. He is on his stray hold and in the meantime we started him on antibiotics and pain meds. Monday we will plan to do an exam to determine if there is a tumor, jaw damage, or something else causing the pain. The finder had to give 3 baths because the dog was so filthy. So far no one has claimed him. He was possibly clipped by a car. If you have any info leading to his owner please let the finder in this post know. I’ll update again on Monday. Gina

THUMPER – AND DIANNE

Posted on by

4/11/24 – He was found on the street – literally – after almost getting run over by a car. His rescuer named him Thumper and contacted us for help with getting him examined and vetted. When I asked Dianne if she would be keeping Thumper, she gave me a definitive YES. Dianne went on to tell me that she and her son had a cat; her son passed away in 2006 and their cat passed away 6 months later. When she rescued Thumper it was only days before her son’s heavenly birthday. Dianne said that Thumper had already given her much happiness. We both agreed that Thumper was lovingly sent to her by her son. – diana

May God Be With The Rescuer!

“Two weeks post OP. And He was a champ getting his sutures out! Thank you so much for saving his life. First time I’ve ever dealt with an eye removal. He is a very sweet boy and will never ever be outside again. – Julie”

Another life given a second chance because of the generosity and kindness of our supporters and veterinarians. – diana

BABY NEEDS YOUR HELP!

Posted on by

4/11/24 – UPDATE: New Beginnings Rescue will take Baby into their rescue in 3 weeks. But, Stephanie is still looking for a temporary foster so surgery could be done sooner. Authorization has been given for the amputation.

4/10/24 – We were contacted by a former volunteer at the 4p1h Kitty Room at the Pet Supplies Store on 13 Mile and Harper. She has been helping out a lady in Detroit by TNR’g strays fed by the lady. She has also helped with food and shelters. Stephanie advised that Baby is friendly and was brought inside to the lady’s home. The caretaker noticed in March that he was attacking his own tail and is yelling in pain. It looked like he had some puncture wounds in the tail.

Baby was first taken to one of our partner vets where he could quickly be seen. Unfortunately, the doctor believed he was feral and gave him an antibiotic injection through the carrier but did not give any pain meds. While Stephanie worked with the caregiver, an appointment was made with Patterson Veterinary Hospital where it was determined that his tail would have to be amputated. He was given pain med.

The problem is that Baby is not in a safe environment and we are reluctant to have him go through this surgery with a difficult recovery ahead unless he can be placed in better living conditions. Please let me know if you can help and I will put you in touch with Stephanie. The caretaker will surrender Baby so that he can be helped, and Stephanie will take care of getting a signed surrender. Thanks! – diana
