Gem of the Day: “When I look into the eyes of an animal I do not see an animal. I see a living being. I see a friend. I feel a soul.“

~ AD Williams~ 

               

     North Carolina “Fiona”. 18 Mos. Old.                       North Carolina “Emmitt”. 3 years old.                                                                              

                        Brother and sister. They will not be separated. They are a bonded pair.

    You are not going to believe what is underneath all of that.

Dear Small Pawsers,

Sara Rhodes, one of our wonderful team leaders, found these two, a brother and sister, in a shelter near Durham, North Carolina.

Joanne Raus, our National Team Leader jumped right on this.

One of our great N.C. volunteers, Jennifer French, picked them up this morning and got them to a wonderful new vet clinic for us, the Creedmoor Road Animal Clinic. 

And they do give us a 10% rescue discount.

We believe these babies were part of a seizure from a possible hoarding situation. That’s how we know they are brother and sister and their ages.

After arrival at the vet’s office, they were sedated and shaved this morning, but they both will need full vetting and quarantine after being in the shelter and having been exposed to shelter diseases.

Emmitt was barely able to move his back legs due to mats tying them together.

These are some pictures.

 

18 mos. old Fiona

Emmitt’s back legs were matted together.

 

I think this is Fiona being shaved. She is pretty thin.

Emmitt had to be sedated for them to get to the mats on his face.

I’ll be. Bichons were living underneath all of that.

They stopped after a while on Fiona to give her a rest and will finish her shave tomorrow. I can’t say enough good things about this clinic. They wrote:

“Emmett had to be sedated in order for the mats to be shaved off his face. Fiona is a perfect angel and cooperated with every step. She still needs to be shaved a little more but she is getting a break for the rest of the day. (Emmett was an angel too but his face was worse.) Dr. Jimenez looked at them before and after they were shaved to make sure they didn’t need immediate attention before she left for the day. Tomorrow she will be doing a more formal and through exam on them. As of right now we have given estimates for shaving, bathing, vaccines, and to be spayed and neutered. After Dr. Jimenez looks at them tomorrow we will send you an updated estimate on each including boarding for 10 days. Myself or Dr. Jimenez will be teaching out to you tomorrow to let you know the steps on where to go from here. If you have any questions please feel free email me. 
 
They are getting plenty of love and attention here. Someone went out and bought them little toys and snacks. They are being very well cared for!
 
Thank you,
Creedmoor Road Animal Hospital”
 
When dogs look like this on the outside and are victims of severe neglect, the inside problems are even worse. 
 
We have been getting several dogs with serious medical issues in and we will get them up as soon as they are vetted. We haven’t raised funds for all of them yet, but these two were emergent.
 
To be honest, I’m overwhelmed and that doesn’t happen to often. 
 
If you have been to a vet lately, you know what has happened.
 
Prices are going up far from anything we have ever seen, before.
 
We will need between $1500-2000.00 just for these two and that is a really reasonable rate.
 
But it’s summer. We are three days from dreaded August.
 
It’s the worst month for non-profits. People are on vacation. Going back to school expenses, etc.
 
If you are able to read this and if you can help them, now is the time to help. Please feel free to share.
 

I’m here and will issue all matching donation challenges.  God help them. God help us.

All My Love, Robin

Humphrey Sisco

Dec 26, 1993~ Aug 30, 2006 Pet Loss Link

When I first saw this beautiful picture of Cheri Sisco’s “Humphrey”, I thought it was truly the epitome of what we do, and why we do it. I wanted to use this black and white picture of Humphrey, taken only days before his death due to congestive heart failure, to let those who may be new to Small Paws, know what we do and why we do it. Without Small Paws, Humphrey would have never known love. He would have died in a kill shelter, sick and alone. Because of Small Paws, and Cheri Sisco, he lived, he loved, and he smiled.
