As I sit to write this, Smokey and Faith have FINALLY reached St. Francis
Animal sanctuary in Erin Tennessee. Annamaria informs me that Smokey bounded
out of his crate full of kisses and happy tail wags, while his daughter, 8
month old Faith seems a bit confused as to "whats next?"....Here they will find
the peace they have been so long searching for until their forever person finds
them! A big thank you to the transport people, Melissa and Rodica who made this
possible!
Friday found Denise driving to the DeKalb County shelter, expecting to bring
home a senior boy. She left with not one, but TWO emaciated GSD's who had been
obviously neglected. They were at least 15 pounds underweight and their nails
had grown so long as to turn outward. Both boys were so happy to be in caring,
loving hands! They rested for an evening, destressing from their escape from
this horrific "shelter". They were brought to the Vet on Saturday where Mack
(the more senior of the two) was found to be heartworm positive. Jack is
suffering from PF and received a prescription for Cyclosporin. Thank you Peggy
for your offer of assistance with these two! While they do have health issues,
these two have super temperaments and are so worthy of a second chance!
We have a foster home for Mack with Jann Culpepper in Georgia and a potential
foster for Jack...thank you Pauline for your networking!
Ollie, the dog that was abandoned in the oil pit is resting at St. Francis as
well, in Annamarias capable hands. He was still covered in sludge when he
arrived, and so with the help of her assistant, was placed in the tub and
received a nice warm bath. While he is obviously struggling with some inner
demons, Ollie made no attempt at aggression. He is quite literally immobile
with fear. He came to
St. Francis totally dehydrated; we still are unsure as to how much of the oil
he ingested. LHSH wants to extend our most sincere thank you to all those who
donated to his care...I fear it will be a long road back.
Deb and Anja in California are closely watching the Baldwin Park girl, who was
discovered to have Kennel cough. LSHS, Deb and Anja are keeping tabs on her
status, and if she becomes critical we will attempt to pull her and locate a
vet clinic where she can be treated. By the photos, it appears that she
recently had a litter of pups...where they are, we will never know.
A GSD and her ELEVEN week old babies were left to their fates at a kill
facility in Moultrie County Georgia! Thank you Barb Hefner and Jann Culpepper
for your generous offer of transport assistance for this little family! They
have been rescued and are now safe. Tina Downs in MD. coordinated this rescue.
At this time LHSH is frantically looking for a foster/forever home for
Atticus. He is a SENIOR GSD who was found wandering with a chain hanging from
his collar. It appears that he had endured some sort of cruelty and has a
moderate neck injury. He has endeared himself to the entire staff at the
shelter, but his time is quickly running out and we have exhausted all of our
contacts. Atticus has no rear musculature; a sure sign that he spent his life
on a short chain. If you, or someone you know is willing to give this boy a
soft bed for the remainder of his days, please contact Karin Baldwin at
mkbaldwin@xxxxxxxxxxxx Atticus is in Virginia and he IS critical.
We at Last Hope, Safe Haven want to thank the administrators of this list for
allowing us to continue to post the needs of these dogs that have been
abandoned to a potentially horrific fate. Please check out our website at
Lasthopesafehaven.com for pictures of these and other dogs who are looking for
their forever someone.
And from the hearts of Ollie, Jack, Mack, Smokey, Faith and hopefully
Atticus...
Thank you....we truly WERE their Last Hope.
