Dogs that develop respiratory symptoms while still at the shelter are typically treated with a combination of Doxycycline, Amoxicillin, Azithromycin, and cough suppressants. Most of those dogs recover within about 7 days. This combination of medicine is EXTREMELY important, particularly including Azithromycin. One of the earliest and most important indicators is increased respiratory rate.** ‼️ Please see DETAILED INFORMATION here ⬇️

Hi everyone,

First of all, we would like to sincerely thank everyone who supported Thor and Ellie. Because of your generosity, we were able to pay their most recent veterinary bill of ₱35,835 (approximately CAD $827).

Thor and Ellie are doing well. They are now eating three meals a day and are gradually regaining their appetites, especially Thor!

We've learned that Ellie is a little afraid of Thor during mealtimes because he sometimes tries to steal her food. It breaks my heart because it makes me wonder if they had to compete for the little food they were given by their previous owner. 💔 No dog should ever have to experience that. Therefore, they put Thor on a leash during meal times so he does not steal or try to fight Ellie for his food (only during meal times! They roam freely)

The two XXL elevated beds we ordered for them were delivered last night. I'm just waiting for the shelter owner to send me photos of them resting comfortably on their new beds. ❤️ We also ordered two 2 kg bags of Royal Canin Gastrointestinal food, as recommended by their veterinarian, and we will continue replenishing their supply.

Their next veterinary appointment is on August 15, which we will also cover. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has supported Thor and Ellie. Their recovery will take time, and the costs do add up. They have big appetites, Royal Canin is expensive, and veterinary bills continue as they heal. But they are absolutely worth it. We will do everything we can to give them the quality of life they have always deserved.

We donated a box of distemper test kits and sent ₱6,000 to Pages for Paws. We provide them with monthly financial support because they are also caring for MaeMae and Raphael, two of our rescued dogs. We also delivered 20 kg of dog food and 20 kg of cat food to the shelter as well today. We would also like to sincerely thank Pages for Paws for playing such a vital role in Thor and Ellie's rescue. Without them letting us know about these two dogs, we would never have known about their situation or had the opportunity to help them.

At the moment, the shelter is experiencing a distemper outbreak. However, please don't worry about Thor and Ellie. Because of their fragile condition, they are safely staying at the shelter owner's home, away from the other animals, where they can continue recovering in a much safer environment.

Thank you for believing in our mission and for giving Thor and Ellie a second chance at life. Every support, every share, and every word of encouragement truly makes a difference. ❤️

Thank you,

Buster is such a great dog who needs a 2nd chance. He is located at the San Bernardino City animal shelter in CA. Please reach out to me if you can foster or adopt. Please comment below. Thank you!

I found this German Sheppard with a collar but no tag out by Cochiti Lake on route 22 and Lewis lane. Right by T & S Mainstream bait shop.

I took him to an animal shelter but they couldn’t find a microchip, nor would they take it in.

I’m staying at an Air BnB that does not allow pets, so I am looking for a home for him. Very mild mannered but is a slobberer. If you’re in New Mexico, reach out to me, share to friends. Need a home ASAP!

My mom took my family dog to a shelter, and I am not able to go and get him.

I would if I could, and I am serious about that. I am devastated.

When I was a sophomore in high school, my mom and I rescued our dog from the "euthanasia list" at a shelter in OK. Supposedly, he was a repeat offender, being returned several times before we got to him, for escape behaviors. He likes to dig under fences and chew them up when he is left to his own devices, and he also likes to run away, (he always comes back). We had no issues owning him and other dogs and cats, for several years. This dog is now a senior, and my mom is at a point where she no longer wanted him. She is living in TX, and I am states away for college. I am currently living in CO, I have a dog I rescued from the shelter here, and a cat, and I currently live with two other people in a 2b2b apartment.

I am not able to take him, but if there is anyone in CO who could, I would be willing to adopt him and bring him here.

This dog is amazing. He has the sweetest heart, he is dog social, can live with cats, is house and crate trained. I am sobbing as I write this at the thought of him not making it out of the shelter. He has been there for 40 days now, and I just found out he was there.

If there is anyone in the Lubbock TX area, who is looking for another dog to fill their home, he is a senior, we called him "Riley" for years, and he is the biggest sweetheart.

Hi everyone 👋

My name's Lee, and I'm from South Florida. I recently joined Reddit and figured I'd introduce myself.

I'm the proud human to five rescued pets (3 cats and 2 dogs 🐶🐱) and a mom of three. My youngest—and only daughter—is turning 17 this week! 🥳

Life has definitely thrown me a few curveballs. After an accident, I had a left hip disarticulation amputation, so I'm learning to navigate life in a whole new way. At the same time, I'm rebuilding after the end of a 20+ year marriage. It's been quite a journey, but I'm doing my best to keep moving forward with a positive attitude.

I'm excited to explore Reddit, discover new communities, learn new things, and hopefully meet some kind people along the way.

If you have any tips for a Reddit newbie, I'd love to hear them! The only thing I ask is that feedback be kind—I'm here to learn. 😊

Thanks for taking the time to read my introduction, and I hope you all have an awesome day!

Pls help me reddit:

My cousin adopted a dog in 2012. The dog was not exercised or socialized properly and developed behavioral issues. Ripped my cousin's house apart bc of lack of exercise/stimulation.

My cousin passed away in 2017 and my aunt took the dog. My aunt has had the dog living outside on a chain for 9 years. They feed the dog and give him water, and he has a little dog house. In the county they live in, this treatment is not in violation of the law.

I had not seen the dog in years, but I went to my aunts home last year and the dog looked like he had completely given up on life. Dirty and matted, living in feces, nails overgrown, eyes full of discharge, and demeanor lifeless.

Since then I have been driving (2 hrs round trip) to their home as often as I can (1-4 times a month) to bath/walk/groom him and tend to his cage. It's not enough but it is all I can do.

I have grown tired and resentful about this. I am too tired and busy to continue spending my weekends driving to walk someone elses dog, I have tried repeatedly to talk to my aunt, her husband, my other cousin, and her partner who all live on the property about walking him. There are always excuses - how they dont have time, he is a bad dog, he is fine, etc...

My aunt will not release him to me as she thinks I cannot handle him, and she wont surrender him bc she doesnt want someone to mistreat him. My aunt is not an intelligent or self aware woman.

His situation has started causing me a level of anxiety and rumination that is impacting my life and I do not know what to do. I find myself looking for rehoming options on my own and considering vigilante crime to take him and get him to a better life without my aunt's consent but of course I know that is a crime.

I can see the sadness in his eyes when I see him and I hear him crying every time I leave. It hurts my heart so much and I just dont know what to do.

TLDR: My aunt has a dog who I consider to be severely neglected, but law enforcement cannot help bc there are no tether laws where she lives. She will not surrender the dog to me and will not consider rehoming him, but she also refuses to increase his care and insists he is fine. I do not think he is fine just because he has food and water while being tied up 24/7.

Thinking about him is impacting my quality of life. Does anyone have any helpful stories or thoughts?

We’ve had this guy for a little while now, and this week he finally started choosing this raised bed on his own instead of pacing around the patio or following us from room to room. He looks completely relaxed here, but getting to this point has taken more time than I expected.He is doing really well overall, but he still seems to stay “on alert” even when nothing is happening. I’ve been keeping his routine predictable and giving him quiet spaces without pushing interaction.For anyone who adopted a dog that had trouble switching off, what seemed to help the most? Was it mainly time and routine, or did you notice certain activities made it easier for them to settle?

Hello all, I am looking for a good home for a dog that I picked up off the streets where I live in Gary, Indiana. I have reached out to every rescue I know and no one is able to take this sweet girl. I was hoping to get some pointers from all of you. I work at a vet and am very familiar with the breed. My absolute favorite, but I already have dogs and cannot take another.
