THE LIFE OF A RACING
GREYHOUND |
 |
After 6 years of racing
on the tracks, this beautiful
Greyhound was
rescued, but that isn't the end of the story ... |
|
Years of racing had led to
pieces of sand or other
debris
getting
lodged in his paws, causing
horrible, painful corns
that
need to be hulled
every few months.
This is a
common side effect in racing
dogs. :-/
It took a trip to a special
vet and an hour to get these
corns removed. |
 |
 |
Other racing injuries are also
common and when a dog can't race anymore, they are set to be euthanized,
unless they can be rescued or placed.
This dog was very fortunate to have found a wonderful home,
and his feet are healing nicely! The vet bandaged this and it should be fully healed in a few
weeks. |

Our latest three orphans fell out of a tree after the homeowners accidently
killed the mother while cutting down a tree.
These three baby squirrels are about 3 weeks old.
Their eyes are not even open yet.

They are being fed by syringe,
every 3 hours! |

There are 2 males and one female,
who we named Alvin, Simone and
Theodore! |

LITTLE LOST BEAN
These auctions originally started to pay for Bean's
$7000 vet bill.
This is her story.
|
 |
The Little Lost Bean was born
on
October 29,
2005,
along with seven
other puppies. |
|
When she was about three months old, The Little Lost
Bean came down with
Parvo. We took her to
the animal hospital
where she stayed for one
night. The next morning,
the hospital called to
say that Bean was going
downhill fast. Nothing
they had tried was
working (Tamiflu, anti-biotics,
anti-nausea drugs, etc)
and Bean was vomiting
repeatedly.
I went to visit Bean and
see how she was doing
and found her laying in
her own vomit.
It was then that I
decided to take Bean
home and do whatever I
had to do to try to save
her life.
|
 |
|
I paid the $500 bill and headed back to get Bean. The vet actually
left Bean's IV in because she was sure I would bring her back later to put her
to sleep and the vet didn't want to be bothered to put in another IV!
At that
time I asked about food for her and for two syringes. The vet looked at me in
disbelief and said, "You can't feed her, she will just throw everything up!" And
then she charged me an extra $4.00 for the two syringes!
When we got home and I started giving Bean food and liquid via
syringe. I held her and stayed with her the entire time and she never vomited
once as long as I was with her. I spent the next four days giving Bean food,
liquid,
and Parvaid every single hour, day and night.
Four days later, she was well, but the story does not end there . . .
.
|
 |
On the fifth day home, I noticed something funny
hanging from Bean's
rear. About six
inches of her intestine
was hanging out!!!
I grabbed Bean and
headed for the 24-hour
emergency hospital in
NJ. Bean spent 7
days at this hospital.
She was diagnosed with a
rectal prolapse, but
they also found a bigger
problem. Bean had an
intussesception. This is
when the small intestine
telescopes in on itself.
It requires an expensive
surgery called "enteroplication"
to fix it, but when all
is said and done, the
dog can live a normal,
healthy, happy life.
The doctors talked to my
husband and I. The vet
bill was already up
to $3500, and nobody
would blame us if we
elected to have Bean put
to sleep, but we just
could not do it.
|
|
|
|
|
Bean had the surgery and
is now at home
recovering. She is skin
and bones at the moment,
but eating well, and
throughout the entire
ordeal, she has never,
ever stopped wagging
that little tail of
hers! |
 |
|
I now owe Oradell Animal
Hospital close to
$7,000, and that is what
these auctions are for -
to help pay for The Little
Lost Bean's life saving
treatments.

JETT LI
Rescued from a dumpster
in Harlem |
|
 |
 |
I climbed into a dumpster to get this little pup that a
woman had spotted while throwing out her garbage.
He ended up having
pneumonia and
a broken right,
front leg.
|
I went to see him 12 months later at his new
home, and as you can
see he has turned
into a handsome
fellow! |

FEEDING TIME AT AN AMERICAN ESKIMO DOG RESCUE |
|
 |
|
This picture is from a rescue on
the West Coast. The head of that rescue was my
mentor and
we send extra funds to them for food and medical
whenever we can.
They currently have 24 American
Eskimos and must turn many more away every single day. |

Well, I went to court for a speeding ticket...and guess
what I came back with?
A car happened to be blocking me in and before I could
complain, I spotted something
small, round, furry and
crying by the wheel of
my car. |
 |
A quick search revealed
a dead mom and four dead siblings.
This one was barely alive.
This one became Clyde.
|
 |
In between bottles,
Clyde liked to suck
people's
fingers and purr.
His eyes did not
open for another few
weeks.
|
 |
 |
Here is Clyde again, bigger,
still loving to chew
on
fingers,
but still a baby,
and not ready
to be released yet.
|
|
Yet
another reason why
raccoons make
terrible
house pets!
He got through 2 childproof locks
on a cabinet,
simply because he was
hungry.
Please remember to not
keep wild animals
as a pet. They
should be taken to a
facility
trained in wild animal
handling. You
can ask your vet to
recommend a place.

Paypaya was a little Papillon that
was used as pit bull bait to train fighting dogs.
We brought her into the
emergency animal hospital
dripping blood and
all
she did was lick the
vet's hands... |

|
After an intensive hospital stay,
Papaya recovered and was adopted by a loving family. |

amputated, but
Mercy seems to get
around just fine on
three legs! |

Snowball was given up by his owner
after 14 years, because he did not
get along with the new dog in the house.
|
|
 |
|
However, when the owner dropped off Snowball,
she "forgot" to mention
that the new dog had ripped a hole in Snowball's back.
I found it while
grooming this
much-neglected dog. |
|
 |
|
|
Of Course, it was Sunday, and no
vet was open,
so I cleaned the wound myself, as best I could.
Look at the toenail
below - can you just
imagine how painful
it would be
to walk on something
like that? |
|
 |
|
 |
|
What a patient dog! |
