It’s all about the mops!
I emailed Echo’s foster mom last night and found out Echo is having a bad month. She is currently at the vet due to a buildup of toxins in her blood. She is receiving IV fluids to help hydrate her and clean out these bad toxins. Little Echo needs your help and prayers.

Hi, a quick update on Audi and hopes for good news. Last night Audi tossed his cookies so to speak and now has no interest in eating. The vet is concerned this tummy issue could tun bad very quickly with his problems so we will go in for a check up to see what is going on. Please wish him good luck. He asks us for so little and is such a good natured gentleman. Loves belly runs and sleeps on his back most of the time with all four legs totally relaxed. Looks like he is on vacation chilling on the beach! He is great!!

Merlin and Mims have been with us since January when we got them from the wonderful couple that cared for them after their dad died suddenly. The family knew he would have made plans for them if he thought they would outlive him. Have you made plans? These two tibetan Terriers are absolutely wonderful dogs with NO, yes NO health issues that we have found. No medications for either of them. Merlin is a little hard of hearing but he is getting up there in age. Mims lacks some in the sight area so they make a great pair. They are true siblings and bonded as well. Mims love to clean Merlin’s face and ears. Merlin seems to enjoy it too. Merlin likes to be loved but is a little more to himself whereas Mims loves to play and instigates play with the other dogs. Please give them another look and open your heart to a loving bonded BEAUTIFUL pair of dogs.
Hi my name is Bok Choy. My foster mom tells me that I am just the sweetest little shy girl! I guess that’s because I haven’t had much human socialization. At first, I cowered when anyone tried to pet me, but now that I see there isn’t anything to hurt me, I follow my foster mom all around just so she’ll bend down and pet me. I used to not have very much hair on my back but it’s growing in very nicely now - a few more weeks on good food and supplements, and I’ll look like a normal doggie. I’m heading into my senior years, and would like to find a place that will let me live INDOORS from now on. My foster mom says that my skin was yucky because I lived outdoors.
We expect that this girl will not get any adoption offers due to her age - she’s about 10. We’ll keep her safe - not as good as being the spoiled princess in a house with only one or two dogs, as she really deserves to be, but she will be safe and loved. Right now, we’re looking at $100 a month, for her vet visits and meds while she is in our program. She is looking for five people to subscribe to donate only $20 a month for her. If you are interested in being one of her sponsors while she remains in our program, you can subscribe via paypal HERE or if you would rather send a check, you can do it HERE.
Today, Bok Choy has 1 sponsor. THANKS CAT!!

Bernie is a 11 year old sweetie, turned over to animal control by his family when the kids went to college after he had been their guard dog and companion all his life. He was not too well cared for ate only scraps, was overweight has a cataract on one eye along with a bad heart murmur. Bernie is a joy to have around, just wants to be near you, LOVES to go for walks and does not ask for much. He has been with us for close to two years and is not adopted yet. I guess his heart murmur is too much for someone to deal with. Yes it is hard to loose a dog you adopt, but please think of the dogs and how thrilled they are to have someone love them. Please don’t over look Bernie or any of the other forever fosters, they still have love to give.
Here’s Bernie’s intro:
Hi my new name is Bernie, I like that I got a brand new name for a brand new life! My last place I lived I stayed outside all the time and they called me their “watchdog”, what is that? Now I am living inside with some nice people and a few other dogs. I can even go anywhere I want in the house and when I got scared of the loud noises outside I was picked up and cuddled. Not sure what cuddling is, but I do like it. I guess my left eye has a cataract in it and I probably don’t see much from it, but my other one is fine. I only ate people scraps in my last home so I hear I am a little “chubby” that sounds good to me, but my foster mom says she is working on my figure, UPDATE I lost the weight and look great now!!!! I am a very sweet, easy going guy that has lived with kids and I like all the other dogs in my new house. The cats upstairs I like too, but they don’t like my curiosity as much, UPDATE the cats and I have an agreement now and get along fine, until they run and sure I will chase if they want me to. Playing tag is FUN! My potty training is going very well, I weigh about 17 pounds which is great. I am supposed to be 9, but I act much younger. Do you need a new playmate?? Can I come live with you? I won’t be any trouble, I promise. Please, please???
We don’t know why people cannot open their hearts to these elderly abandoned dogs, but Bernie has had no inquiries at all to be adopted. So, he can hang around here with us for the rest of his life, if no one else wants him.
Bernie only needs around $100 a month, for his vet visits and meds while he is in our program. He is looking for five people to subscribe to donate only $20 a month for him. If you are interested in being one of him sponsors while he remains in our program, you can subscribe via paypal HERE or if you would rather send a check, you can do it HERE.
At this time, Bernie has 1 sponsor. THANKS CAT.

Heaven is a miracle dog. Read her history below and you’ll see that we’ve been battling ’something’ for over a year. We still don’t know that it is but believe we are very, very close. The interesting thing is that Heaven doesn’t act sick - but her bloodwork tells us that there is something infecting her somewhere!!
Heaven continues to need tests to determine what is causing her elevated white blood cell count. This sweet little baby girl deserves a good life. That’s why we named her Heaven; we just knew that after the awful conditions that she came from, her new life would be “heaven”.
Although it’s true she’s had a good foster home and good care, we need to find out what is causing her medical problems so that promise we made her to get her a loving “forever” home can be realized. Can you help us help Heaven by donating for her ongoing medical expenses?
To date, we’ve spent over $2,800 on this little sweetie(see the summary below), just trying to figure out what is wrong with her. These cases are difficult - at first, the cost was just $300 for removing her very infected uterus. Then, more meds, more tests, it always seems that one more little vet bill will get her healthy. Now, she really needs your help. Here is the summary of Heaven’s charges through the first week of October.
As of the afternoon of October 19, 2006, Heaven’s fund is still in desperate need of donations. We have received donations and pledges totalling $1,070.00. You can see the list of donors by clicking the link entitled “Heaven’s Angels” to the right. Plesase, if you can, help this little sweetie.
To donate via paypal, please click HERE. If you would rather send a check, please click HERE link.
A new plea was sent out to our wonderful supporters on October 20. Heaven’s bills have topped $2800 and so far, she only has $1070 in her medical fund so needs another $1800. We need to do some serious fundraising for Heaven to get this thing balanced so we can underwrite her future bills.
Update: November 1, 7:30 am CST
Total collected as of Heaven’s wonderful angels include:
Liberty Lawn & Pest, Ugolik Chiropractic Clinic, Camie Barclay, Darlene Hargrove, Jeannette Avent, Jennifer Rue, Nicole Sellitti, Martin Howard, Wendy Piatek, Susan Gregory, Maureen S and Lori Ugolik, Pam Glass, Juanita Smith,
Heaven only has $1540 to go. You know, most of the contributions that fund the emergency and other medical needs come in in $10, $20, $50 donations. No donation is too small - it all adds up!!
