We will be holding off taking any more dogs in until the first of the year.
We can offer Courtesy Postings for Owners if their pet meets the requirements for a Courtesy Posting (Current Vaccines and Neutered).
We are more than willing to respond to any email that comes through if somebody needs help or guidance with needing to rehome a dog.

Meet Luna

|
She is a 4-year-old spayed girl.
Luna came into rescue when she had a flare-up of IVDD or Intervertebral disk disease. The definition Intervertebral disc disease (IVDD), sometimes referred to as a slipped or herniated disc, refers to a syndrome of pain and neurological problems that accompany degeneration of one or more intervertebral discs. These discs are pillow-like pads that act as shock-absorbers between adjoining vertebrae - the bones that make up the backbone or spine. Intervertebral discs can become displaced, deteriorate, collapse, bulge out (protrude), rupture or herniate in dogs as a result of gradual degeneration due to conformational abnormalities, obesity, genetics, repetitive trauma or other factors. This compresses the spinal cord and nerves at the damage site. Dogs with IVDD have symptoms ranging from mild pain (lowered head, reluctance to move, stiffness, sensitivity to touch), to severe pain (arched back, lameness, dragging legs, inability to stand, crying when touched or moving, trembling, staggering, collapse), to partial or complete paralysis.
Luna was put on strict crate rest and medication. She is now recovered from that episode and doing well. She avoided surgery, but we cannot guarantee that it will not be needed in the future. Her new home will need to be mindful of her past issue and play rough with her, no tug of war, etc. No climbing of stairs for her. She will need to be walked on a harness as to not pull on her neck. She can have a collar on but it must never to used to lead her or be pulled on. Luna cannot jump up and down off of the bed or furniture. Pet-friendly steps or stairs must be in place for her.
Luna will be placed as an only pet and in a quiet household. No small children, please. Luna is not a dog that can go to the dog park.

Meet Diesel
|
He is 6 years old - neutered Fawn Boy
He is house trained and is very well behaved. He obviously has one upright ear and one floppy ear. He has had chronic ear infections in the past that caused his one ear to never return to the upright position. Diesel gets along with cats, but not other dogs. Diesel has a lot of love to give, but needs a lot of work. Diesel requires a fenced backyard, so he can get some of his energy out and play. He has anxiety issues where it can take him awhile to calm down. We have started him on anxiety medication and it helps him take the edge off and he calms down better. He is NOT an Apartment dog, he needs space to burn his energy off. He is a great walker, well potty trained and wants to bond with somebody. He likes to play with his toys and is crate trained. We are looking for somebody that is willing to work with Diesel and be consistent with a schedule, training and working him into a good routine that will help with his anxiety. |
This Boy has a lot of love to give and a lot of potential in the right environment. He originally was bought for a companion for another dog and he really needs to have that relationship with an Owner/Individual who has some dog savvy and is willing to work with him. We do have access to a Great Trainer that works with a lot of French bulldogs. Diesel will be placed with somebody with a House with a secure yard, No kids and no other dogs. No Apartment-No Daycare - He is looking for his forever Human Companion that wants a Best Buddy.

Meet "Mac" - ADOPTION PENDING
Thank you, Vince, for adopting Mac!
|
|
Mac is estimated to be between 7-8 years old, neutered and weighing in at about 26.5 pounds
He came into Rescue through a local shelter. He has dry eye, so he requires eye drops daily for the rest of his life to keep his eyes clear and moist. He has pelvic end ataxia (weak in the hindquarters) - which is not painful. He moves around fine but does have a shuffle to his gait. We call it the "Sexy Walk". He has an Elvis Hip Shake to his Walk.
We did spinal radiographs and nothing alarming was found and we don't expect him to get worse. He is totally house trained and used to sleeping in his crate. When Mac was at the shelter he was dog aggressive towards dogs walking by his kennel. Mac will be placed as the only dog in the household. This boy is a GEM - A Diamond in the Rough. He is such a sweet dog and definitely searching for that special owner who enjoys a snuggle bunny and loves Tickles. Do you have room in your household for this Special Boy?

Meet "Ms. Panda"
Panda came into Rescue through our Local Animal Shelter.
We estimate her age to be between 5-6 years of age. She weighs in at 26.0 pounds and has had chronic ear infections. One of her ears is scrunched down and one is up.
This little hotty is one cute package!!
She has been tested with other dogs and is fine. She is super short backed and has pronounced weakness in her hind legs. We radiographed her spine and she has multiple hemivertebrae. Most of the time hemivertebrae are of no significance and are just interesting findings on a radiograph, but she has weakness in the hind quarters, so they still can be incidental findings and at her age our vets recommend rest and occasional oral steroids during flare-ups may be adequate to treat a mild case. Each case is individual and if somebody wanted to pursue it further to see if even the hemivertebra is the cause, the next step would be (myelography, MRI, or CT imaging). At this time because of her age and how well she does we are planning to place her either as the only dog or with another quieter dog that will not jump all over her or run her around playing non-stop.
So, a mellow companion dog. Panda loves to play and run around, but needs to be in a controlled environment. We will not place in a house with multiple stairs to maneuver. Panda will make someone or some family a great little companion. She is a sweetheart that deserves to be pampered the rest of her life. She is House Trained.
