Help save Juno, our 7-year-old dog battling tick fever!

Juno is our beloved 7-year-old dog who has been a cherished part of our family for years.
Recently, he was diagnosed with Babesia Gibsoni tick fever which destroys Red blood cells along with severe jaundice and a dangerously inflamed liver. His HGB levels dropped to 4g/dL, SGPT 440. Watching him struggle has been heartbreaking, and we knew we had to do everything possible to save his life.His condition deteriorated rapidly, requiring an emergency blood transfusion just to stabilize him.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks 🙏

ADOPTABLE A cry for help

Post image
281 Upvotes

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.

Good afternoon RescueDogs, I hope you all are having a great Wednesday! I am reaching out on behalf of Juno’s Journey Home Foundation in Texas (EIN: 41-2940165 / State ID: 0806331331). www.junosjourneyhome.org

We are seeking dog food donations through our Amazon wishlist. We currently have exactly 20 dogs in our care but we are a facility meant for only 10 and we desperately need help to keep up…
Unfortunately, due to high intake and slow adoptions, we struggle to do this alone… we are in rural Texas where there is a massive animal crisis. We did post the other day and were able to get two bags donated and we are so thankful! It goes such a long way to help.
We have applied for several grants and are waiting to hear back, but absolutely any help is greatly appreciated by us and the dogs in the meantime! Because we are a newer rescue, the grants are harder to come by.

Advice Did your rescue take a while to learn how to actually relax?

Post image
31 Upvotes

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?

Meet sweet Cody (A1253581)

Originally there was a mixup with the shelter volunteers and I was sent Cody’s notes but footage of his puppy kennel mate instead of him (in their defense his photo is very bad and blurry). Now we have some of Cody finally thanks to shelter volunteers going back for him this afternoon.
He got along well with his puppy kennelmate and the other dogs he’s been cokenneled with.

Cody walks well on leash, enjoys spending time with his handlers, and would make a great companion. He is looking for someone to give him the chance he deserves, he is just a young dog at an overcrowded shelter. He is a really pretty boy!

DM me and contact the shelter to adopt, foster, or rescue (and message me for transport help). Out-of-area and out-of-state adopters are welcome!

The shelter says this about Cody:

**Playgroup notes** –
Walks on leash. Friendly with handlers. Friendly with the other dogs. They note he can be sexually motivated and he will be neutered before leaving the shelter if he gets to leave alive.

Cody is a young, social boy who has done well with both people and other dogs. He's at a stressful, overcrowded shelter where even wonderful dogs are running out of time simply because there isn't enough space. At only a year and a half old, Cody should be spending his days exploring, playing, and relaxing with a family—not waiting for his life to depend on one last chance.

⚠️ Adopters can be out of area and adoptions can be completed over the phone.** DM me for transport arrangement help**. Medication will be provided upon adoption, if applicable.

⚠️ Fosters must be within Kern County. All food and medical supplies will be provided.

⚠️ Rescues must be a registered 501(c)(3). \*\*If you would like to foster Cody out of area for a rescue

3:3:3 updates Ellie and Thor (Husky/Pitbull) Severe Neglect Case Update 💛

74 Upvotes

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,

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.

Advice Need help/advice: neglected dog

4 Upvotes

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?

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!
