Hattie's story is bittersweet.....she is a darling
small aussie/collie mix who came into the Merced Shelter with two dogs who
were thought to be her mom and dad.
All three dogs were very scared and thought to be
aggressive. Hattie appeared to be around 7 mos old - but it was hard to
tell...as she spent most of her time huddled in the corner - even growling
on occasion! I let the shelter know I would take her and assess her out
of that environment...she spent her first days in a pen here at my
house and got used to my other dogs checking her out....she then moved in
to the house....and within a day or so was having a blast with the other
dogs, running and playing - jumping in the doggie pool! She came out of
her shell and was the sweetest thing! Super gentle and loving, and she
loves to give the sweetest little kisses!
We took her in to be spayed and learned that she has
a grade 6 heart murmur...this is the highest grade possible. We just were
able to get her ultrasound done this week and the news is good and
bad.....
She requires surgery to save her life, but the
surgery will be nearly $2500. It's been a horrible few months for our
small non profit group. Over $8000 has been spent on just a handful of
dogs since June who needed hospitalization or major medical care. I try
not to beg - and made it the whole summer through all these medical
emergencies (with the help of some wonderful friends and, of course, my
parents!) - but at this point we have nothing for Hattie....so we are
looking for your help!
We hope to raise at least half of the money needed -
if we can do that we can get the ball rolling on scheduling her
surgery.....we are very desperate. Hattie is such a wonderful girl who is
finally having a good life - and she has so much ahead of her!
If you can help, you can donate through our Paypal
link on the website under my name below - or feel free to email me for our
mailing address.
If you would like more info on her diagnosis and
condition, you can email me as well!
Remember all donations are tax deductible!

Boy it's been a busy month - and
the last couple weeks have been crazy.....thankfully it's mostly
been busy in a GOOD way :o) We had several great adoptions that I
will start the report off with!
Callie - collie mix - what a sweet
girl, but she did come with baggage and we were so happy to here her
new family in Santa Rosa was committed to work through them!
Missy - chow/golden - a sweet and happy
owner surrendered pooch, who seems to have finally found her new -
and hopefully LAST - home!
Taffy - senior small terrier - found a
great home that looked past her age and are thrilled to have her as
a new addition!
Jessica - a beautiful blk shep mix -
found a great home in West Sac - with a loving active household!
John - Jessica's son - went up to
property in NV in a very dog friendly town - he will be spoiled and
have plenty of chances to play in the water!
Jessie - stray lab/pitty mix - found a
great home with 3 college students - they ADORE her and couldn't be
happier!
Whiskers - terrier mix - despite an old
leg injury, she found a loving family that already consider her
their newest addition!
Hans and Greta - two adorable shep
siblings - both found wonderful homes with loving people and other
dogs to play with!
Kahlua - owner placed bordercollie -
found a great home with a young couple that is sure to spoil her!
Cody - shep/chow - is now a proud
resident of Elk Grove and a 12 yr old boys new best friend!
Zina and Blondie - owner surrendered
shep/terriers - both were adopted this week - YAY!!
Chico - tiny chi! - he found a great
home in east sac with another little chi companion!
Red - beautiful red collie mix - was
adopted by a couple who recently lost the dog they rescued years ago
- they love him!
Gosh I know there were more...Scooter,
Pete, Groucho......(can you believe them all!), but I think I'll
stop there!
We actually haven't been
rescuing a ton lately so don't have much to report - but here are
the ones we have (or are getting) that need help!
Gracie - sweet older cattle dog/spitz
mix - very easy and mellow, but does get fiesty and want to play on
occasion..FOSTERHOME NEEDED!
Katie - beautiful, dopey lab/shep mix -
she is Jessica's daughter - she is fun and playful, but shy and
needs a home that will be patient (and has another fun pooch!)
Big Charlie - a sweet adult lab mix -
seems to be great and easy going - would be good in almost any
home....
Frankie - spaniel mix with the heart
murmur - we really need to find him a home - poor boy!
Peanut - she is an owner surrendered
pitty mix - super sweet and cute - would do best as the only pooch
in a home - so keep an eye out for someone who wants only one dog!
Janet and Crissy - adorable chi's!! So
sweet and cute - very loving and playful! Can't believe they are
not adopted yet - FOSTERHOMES ARE NEEDED!
Mississippi Doxie - Our wonderful
fostermom Kara rescued a doxie when she down in the southern states
- he has heartworm which will will take care of - I have yet to meet
him, but can't wait!
And the dogs that should be
coming this week:
Hattie - sweet shy small shep mix - poor
girl! She will be so happy to be out of the shelter!
Marilyn and George - I will attach pix
of them - the picture says 1000 words.....poor babies!
Also potentially two pooches from down
south, but we will wait to see if they make it up before we list
them!
And sadly we lost sweet
Courtney - she was a tiny little terrier pup - she seemed fine upon
rescue but 2-3 days later acted sick - she spent 5 days at the vet
on IV's then passed away....the dogs rescued and adopted this month
are in honor of her.......
Just thought I'd give you all an
update on the "Lab Mixes" that came from Merced who were in such
horrible condition....
The pups are doing WONDERFULLY -
thanks in full to the absolute greatness of their fostermom, Beth,
these dogs are actually having fun being normal dogs and feeling
good for the first time in their short lives!
Beth brought them out to our vet
yesterday - they both looked BEAUTIFUL! George tested negative
for demodex...and although Marilyn still tested positive, she has
fur all over and is turning out to be a beautiful girl!
She saw the eye doctor and she is most
likely going to have her one eye removed, but we think she will
feel so much better without that irritation....
They both seem to be super happy and
super healthy! I will be posting them on the site tonight and we
will be looking for a home that has room for them both - as they
are very bonded :o)
Here are some pix - a couple from
before and a couple of them now :o)
