Tiffany is the sweetest little senior girl that you can imagine. Although she looks like a teddy bear, she also has a lot more spunk than you might guess. She's simply adorable. Unfortunately Tiffany also has a hernia and some small mammary tumors. Initially we decided not to operate till we could see how strong her health was otherwise, but now that she's been with us for a little while, we feel she could withstand the surgery, and that it would be better for her to get it done. Cost for both the hernia repair and tumor removal would be around $400. If you would like to help her, please use the donate link above and indicate that your donation is for Tiffany. Tweeter is a chihuahua with severe degenerate joint disease. X-rays revealed that her front legs have not much more than fragments of the joints that should exist. The specialist called her the worst case she'd ever seen. But Tweeter has a life here, and she is cherished. she's a happy little girl, and with medication, her condition has not gotten significantly worse in the last two years. We certainly love her! Tweeter is seeing a specialist, to slow the progression of the disease, and we would like to get her a wheelchair, but it will have to be a custom design and will cost around $450. If you would like to donate towards her wheelchair, please click the donate link above, and indicate that your donation is for Tweeter.

Max is a chihuahua/rat terrier cross who was hit by a car and could not walk. X-rays revealed a broken pelvis, and worse he'd been labeled a biter for nipping a shelter worker. Alone and afraid, it didn't seem he had much of a future -- but with a little love and healing, that was all about to change! I HAVE BEEN ADOPTED!!!!! Xena was attacked by a hawk, who lifted her up into the air, but dropped her -- only to have a coyote make a grab for her too. She was saved by a Good Samaritan, but has serious wounds that will take time and attention to heal. I HAVE BEEN ADOPTED!!!!!
Diamond came to us with large advanced tumors of the mammary glands that spread up and around the majority of her tail. A large golf ball size hard lump hung between her legs, and there were several other small growths on her body. Because of these issues, no one wanted this beautiful, intelligent little girl. We did. I HAVE BEEN ADOPTED!!!!!
Heidi was pulled from Greenville, SC after having been hit by a car. It was feared she had sustained brain damage and was unadoptable, and as a result she was scheduled for euthanization. Heidi spent the rest of her life with us. She spent several happy years in our loving care
Widget, formerly named Lucky, was pulled 4/11/11 from Fulton County, GA with a broken Pelvis and unable to walk. Widget is a special boy who went from being unable to walk to a guy who runs like the wind. He is an amazing fellow! Click on his picture to follow his progress. I HAVE BEEN ADOPTED!!!!!
Rigel was brought into a small shelter in Alabama as a stray, and nearly starved to death. We believe he was turned loose as bait, but had been smart enough to survive. Still his condition was critical. Click on his picture to see how this gorgeous boy is doing now. I HAVE BEEN ADOPTED!!!!! |
