East Of Eden ....

EDEN
I received this news from Dalmatian Rescue of Tampa Bay
they have just saved this girl from certain death.
She has to be rehabbed but she is being fostered.
***
A painting just off the easel is listed on EBAY to help DRTB:
Please read her story...
Eden is about 6 years old from Collier County.
She is very thin, a high heartworm positive that needs treatment ASAP, and her nails were so long that a dewclaw had grown a 1/4" into her pad.
She also may be deaf since she sleeps like the dead... not even making coffee in the morning will stir her.
I think she may have once been a house pet since someone cared enough to get her spayed, but then was turned outside & became a stray.
She definitely prefers to be in the house.
She is a beautiful girl with intelligent eyes and interested in the world around her.
She has begun to play with stuffed toys.
She loves people and seems to behave well with other dogs (doesn't like mine & that might be that she has no status here).
She likes to see the outside kitties run, but is good on a leash.
She tries to tell you she needs to go out to potty, but I think being at the shelter taught her that might not happen.
She still hasn't fully settled into her new surroundings & is a bit nervous, but she would be great in a home of her own.
She leans against me when I'm with her to make sure she doesn't get left behind.
She loves going for a car ride & is so good in the car... I took her to McD's for a treat.
She will be a devoted dog for the right person who could love this beautiful girl.
***
Keeping the hope she gets adopted to a forever family when she is healthy and ready.
thanks for helping homeless animals with art!

Blue with a Broken Leg needs help at T-bar


Blue is a beautiful young Heeler who was abandoned and starving. Worse yet he had been hit by a car, and his leg was broken. Enter True Blue Animal Rescue. Now Blue is at T-bar (short for True Blue Animal Rescue). He's splinted and casted and healing well, but the vet bill to date is $600 to set the leg. Poor baby! Who could say no to Blue? Please help cover Blue's vet bill by mailing a donation, however large or small, to T-bar, P.O. Box 1107, Brenham, Texas 77834.

Willing Hearts Dalmatian Rescue ....

Meet....MERLIN

Meet...PENNY




Willing Hearts...where Angels do their work on the front lines of rescue.


PENNY
What the shelter staff said about Penny:
Penny is a sweet senior girl that was brought in by the dog warden. She's good with other dogs and seems to be housebroken. We took her to the vet and she's got a hematoma on one ear that was apparently ignored by the previous owner and is now in bad shape. We've got her on steroids and antibiotics at this time and we are seeking foster care or assistance in placing her because she is such a sweetheart and we don't want to put her down without giving her a chance.

MERLIN
Merlin is an already neutered 6-10 year old male Dalmatian. Poor Merlin was surrendered to the shelter by his owner because they were moving. Merlin is a well behaved boy who is a little cautious and shy in the noisy, stressful shelter, but is very friendly and handsome. He has some dermatitis on his back end that could use a bath and treatment, but otherwise is in good shape. Merlin is now in a foster home.
Here's what his foster Mommy had to say:
Hi All,Just a quick update.Merlin is very shy and scared. He is very sick with kennel cough. He has A LOT of mucus discharge green and yellow. He is very sad. I have him downstairs to give him some peace and quite. He lets me give him meds. He hasn't eaten but will drink. He has found his comfy place on the sofa and watches TV and naps. He is housebroken and WILL be wonderful when he is feeling better. Poor guy. Not a big fan of letting me wipe his nose but deals with it. I've been spraying his back end with Sterilox to help the dermatistis and he seem comfortable. I'll send another update with his progess in a few days..D...
Update 5/15/08:
Hi All,Quick update on the Merlin Man!He is feeling MUCH better. No more doggie snot and very little coughing! He came upstairs yesterday and does well with my other guys! Although he thinks my smaller guys are toys and wants to play with them! He is a sweet boy but needs to know his place. He is doing well and slept in bed last night. Once he settled down he was fine the rest of the night. He's a typical dal has to be touching you! LOL So he is well on his way to a full recovery. He's stubborn, but what dal isn't? LOLHe's a great boy!

Where's Dave? Director of HSUS NRRO

We haven't heard from Dave in a while... that's because he's been very busy travelling for the animals. Here are some photos he sent and some information about people in another corner of the world who are working to help animals.

Sandra... Sorry for a delayed report...but for the past two weeks I have been in the Republic of the Philippines teaching classes and field demonstrations. I got back last night and leave tomorrow for a week in Florida at Animal Care EXPO...so am going to give you a teaser with some photographs.

In summary, I was one-half of a two person team selected by Humane Society International to go over to help the Philippines Animal Welfare Coalition, its Department of Agriculture, and it Veterinary Medical Association to develop plans and events to combat the over 350 annual HUMAN deaths from rabies.

We also lectured on disaster preparedness, early spay neuter procedures and a variety of topics from capture to humane education and public relations. It was a long hot, humid trip...but well worth every moment. I will add some text to the story in the coming days...but for now here a six shot summary of the places, critters and issues I worked on with my team partner Dr Barry Kellogg of Florida.

Please do not let this sampling of photographs form your opinion of the Filipino people. They were excellent hosts and are making true efforts to introduce progressive and modern animal welfare concepts and protocols. One city veterinarian listened to my talk on public image and humane education and announced immediately after the presentation that she was changing her "dog catchers" job description to "dog control officer" and that she would ask the mayor to rename the City Pound to the City Animal Shelter. From decades of personal experience I know that these changes are MUCH MORE than semantics, and am gratified to play even a minute role in helping this great culture to improve both its public health and animal welfare status. Their goal is to Rabies Free by 2020 and from the determination I saw from these the NGO's (non government organizations), the veterinarians and the Agriculture Department... I have no doubt they will make that goal and improve conditions for animals all the way along.
