Mitzy

shannon.williams.316@gmail.com
|
Name: Mitzy
Sex: Female (altered)
Breed: Terrier Mix
Age: 8 years
Location: Utica, NY
Vet/Medical Info: Mitzy had her first lepto vaccine, distemper, bordatella and lyme vaccines 4/20/2011. She was tested for heartworm (negative) and stool sample was also negative. She is up to date on rabies until 12/10/2013. She is spayed, 8 years old, terrier mix, also has chronic ear problems (otitis externa). She was last seen in February 2010 for that.
Owner Info: Mitzy does not feel comfortable around small children. When she was rescued (she was found wandering the streets when 6-8 weeks old) her owner didn't have children, now that they do, she gets aggressive when children are active or loud. She has on three occassions charged/chased/snapped at children when they were running and playing. They try to remove her from the situation but when put her in her crate or left in a room, she gets very upset. If she was in a situation that was calm she would be fine. She is like a cat and likes to sit on your lap and be petted. Mitzy was born with a congenital eye defect most likely caused by a virus her mother had while pregnant. If you throw a ball to her, she will not see it and it will hit her. If she is outside on a bright day she can track a bird in the sky. It seems like she has some vision, but up close she really is limited. She is a little overweight. Mitzy is an indoor dog with the run of the house, she is housebroken and leash trained, she knows sit, lay down and stay. She is good with people, teenagers, other dogs and cats. Mitzy's owner loves her to bits and she used to be a perfect fit for her family. She would be a great dog for someone who is ill, she is very loving and devoted to her owners and has brought them much joy. The instances where she charges children have happened repeatedly and her owner is afraid she will bite someone. They don't want to put Mitzy in a position where she will fail.

Michael
Contact Information:
|
Name: Michael
Sex: Male (altered)
Breed: Chow Mix
Age: Unknown
Location: Limestone, TN
Vet/Medical Info: The lady that is caring for Michael is one of their best clients, she takes good care of her animals. Michael was neutered 5/25/11, he also received all vaccinations on that date. Rabies was a 1 year shot. He is Heartworm negative and on Heartworm prevention meds.
Owner Info: Michael was a stray that found his caregiver about six weeks ago. She has 10 other animals and can't keep him. She works two jobs and goes to school, time is very limited. Michael has been shifted around a lot because she can't keep him at her house, he always adjusts well. Michael has been to the vet once, the vet seemed to think he was blind in one eye and had some vision in the other, he thought he was born that way. When she realized Michael was visually impaired, she knew what would happen if she abandoned him to the shelter. She decided to get him neutered, his shots and his heartworm but then didn't know what to do with him. He already has a strike against him because of his blindness. Right now he is at a kennel, but she can't afford to keep him there much longer.

Kenji
Contact Information:
|
Name: Kenji
Sex: Male (altered)
Breed: Hound Mix
Age: 2 years
Location: Pontotoc, MS
Vet/Medical Info: Kenji is neutered, they have no record of HW test or doing any vaccines. He was there in March for sores on his ears, treated for ear mites and put on Cephalexin, back on April 16th, ears still not better. They said he has ongoing ear sores and problems with ears. Asked if he ever exhibited odd behavior or had any other issues, and they said nothing was noted.
Owner Info: Kenji's owner has been looking for someone to give him a home for a couple of months, ever since she knew she had to move. She looked for a place that would allow her to keep him but could not find one. She took him to a rescue recently but they could not keep him for long and he hardly ate, barked all the time and showed some very odd and distressed behavior. She went and got him back and he is currently staying with friends short term. Kenji is a wonderful dog. The shelter said he has a condition called Collie Eye Anomolie and he was probably born blind. He is housebroken and leash trained and is just a good boy. He gets on well with people and other dogs. He does bark a lot when he is around a lot of noise or excitement, she thinks it is because he doesn't know what is going on. When he is inside and it is calm he will lay down and never bothers anything. Kenji would be best suited as an only dog or with just one or two other dogs around. His owner would do anything to be able to keep him, but can't find a new home that allows bigger dogs. Owner has said he is up to date with vaccinations and HW negative but we have been unable to verify this.

Tallulah & BodieContact Information:
|
Name: Tallulah and Bodie
Sex: Females (altered)
Breed: Catahoula/Greyhound Mix and Shepherd Mix
Age: 2 years
Location: New Mexico
Vet/Medical Info: Tallulah is up to date on vaccines. Had three-year rabies in April 2011, due 3/29/2014. Due for distemper and parvo on 3/31/2012 and due for bordatella on 10/1/11. Due for next rattlesnake vaccine and deworming in May 2012. Tallulah is spayed, they have no record of HW testing. Both eyes are dilated but not responsive and she has no blink response. Bodie is a spayed female shepherd cross. No heartworm testing done, due for rabies, distemper, parvo and lepto on 6/22/2012, due for bordatella 12/23/11. Due for deworming in May, 2012. Bodie is microchipped, as is Tallulah. Other than swelling after her spay, they had no medical information of note.
Owner Info: DOB October 2009. Tallulah and Bodie’s owner has seven dogs and was just fostering Tallulah and her little buddy Bodie. She took them off death row at the Alamogordo, NM Animal Control Shelter, the day they were to be euthanized. The shelter deemed them "unadoptable." Unfortunately Tullulah and Bodie’s owners husband was killed in a plane crash and it has caused her life to be so unstable, she doesn't know where she is going to live, much less the doggies. She has grown quite attached to all the dogs, but she feels the two newest ones, Tallulah and Bodie, should be the ones to surrender. Tullie and Bodie have been together since they were puppies, the bond they share is amazing, it is clear that Bodie knows Tallulah is not sighted and often acts as a go-between her and either a new person or a new situation. It is quite something to witness. They have been inseparable for the past almost two years. They were initially crate-trained together, spayed together then kept in the kennel at the Vet while she got her home in order to be able to foster two more dogs. When she has to travel, they always are in the same run at the kennels. Her other dogs require more medical care and expenses and she is committed to that. She just cannot care for this many dogs when her life is so unstable and up in the air. She has been to and contacted animal shelters in Montana and New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Texas, and none of them want to take on "special needs" dogs. She wishes they could understand how easy it is to have a blind dog; her other dogs require much more care and medical attention. Tullulah is a very smart girl, she knows commands such as Sit, Stay, Lie Down, Go to Your Bed, No, Come, Move, Up, Down, Let's Go For a Ride, Want a Treat? and Time to Eat. She is probably the smartest dog her owner has ever seen. She is quite sweet and likes to cuddle and be held. She gives great dog-hugs, standing on her hind legs and reaching her front paws up wanting a hug. She sleeps on the bed with her owner and several of the other dogs sometimes. Sometimes she sleeps in a chair, sometimes in her dog bed with her buddy Bodie. She is very active and is the best dog to run with because she never tires. She stays around the house and doesn't try to run off. She loves to go for car rides and wants to put her head out the window even though she can't see anything. She does get cold easily, in the winter she wears a little coat. She is very compliant when having her nails trimmed or getting shots or a medical check-up. Tallulah and her owners one large female dog do not like each other. They growl at each other and the other dog basically just avoids Tallulah. She can take them on walks together though. That said, Talullah has bitten at the other dog once in the car. She has not bitten or snapped at any people or any other animals. She tries to keep the two dogs separated unless she is present. Tallulah and Bodie have moved a couple of times since her owners husband was killed and they adapt immediately to the new home environment. They have also adapted well the few times they have been in boarding kennels. She believes Tallulah was born sighted. The animal control officers ran her into traffic when they were chasing her and she got hit by a car. She had numerous abrasions to her face and head and the Vet thinks the impact may have damaged her optic nerves. She is completely blind in both eyes. Her owner would not recommend her being put in a family with children or cats as she has never, ever been around them and she doesn't know what her reaction would be. Her other dogs hate cats and bark at them so she thinks she has learned that from them. She gets along with all of her other dogs, except for the one. They do not like each other. So a dominant female dog home would probably not be the best idea. She clearly likes to be the dominant female but her little male terriers clearly dominate her. Both dogs are housebroken and leash trained. Their owner can pay for transportation to get them to where they need to go, for fostering or to a home. If it is in one of the surrounding states, she can even drive them there and is willing to assist with paying for food and boarding.
October 26, 2011:
I did bring the 2 girls back down to southern New Mexico with me
because it didn't feel right dumping them off at a shelter in Montana. I
was afraid they may be separated or euthanized. They are both GREAT
travelers, by the way. Three days in a car is a stretch for anyone and
they did great. Also, much better behaved than my boy-dogs in the hotel
rooms.

Name: Mobe
Sex: Shih Tzu (altered)
Breed: Shih Tzu
Age: Unknown
Location: Palm Beach gardens, FL
Vet/Medical Info: Mobe was neutered 6/14/2008. He received DHPP and Bordetella 1 yr shots and rabies 3 yr shot 9/9/2011 and was also given Frontline, was dewormed and tested HW-. He also had a fecal test and it was negative. Vet noted bilateral ocular opacity (possibly blind) and he has possible peridontal disease and mild dental tartar. He also has a cyst on left side of hip area.
Owner Info: Mobe's owner recently saved him from Miami Dade Animal Services to avoid him being euthanized. His old owners did not want him anymore. It was indicated he had partial blindness and they put him in quarantine board. He had a cataract in one eye and hyphema probably from some blunt force in the other eye, however when this cleared up it was discovered he has cataracts in both eyes and is therefore essentially blind. They seem to be mature but they could potentially be operable to restore sight. He is healthy other than the cataracts, normal size and weight, no food allergies. To complicate this, Mobe’s new owners cat is not taking well to him and is attacking quite viciously, since he is blind he has no idea she is coming after him. She has asked some rescue contacts to find him a temporary foster home but is looking for a rescue who understands special needs dogs and specializes in placing a blind dog. Mobe is very alert and independent and walks well on the leash, even in an area he is unfamiliar with. He also is comfortable enough to walk off leash, if you click your fingers he follows you. He does not act as if he is any different than other dogs and even when he bumps into something he goes right back on his way. Mobe's owner is looking to place him somewhere where he can get the attention he needs as a special needs dog because she can't give this to him. She also worries about his safety with her cat as he does not defend himself and she is too aggressive with him. She realizes she should not have taken him but it was never indicated up front how severe his blindness was and other than his blindness he is healthy and there was no reason for him to be euthanized. She just had to save him. Owner will be taking Mobe to her own vet for glucose tests to determine if the cause for cataracts is diabetes. She will also get the cyst on his hip checked and start him on some supplements and eye drops as a maintenance measure.

ApolloContact Information:
|
Name: Apollo
Sex: Male (altered)
Breed: Pekinese
Age: 13 years
Location: Ocean Gate, NJ
Vet Info: Rabies 1 yr/distemper (4/18/12). HW negative (4/18). Neuter verified.
Owner Info: I adopted this dog from a woman who came into one of the veterinary hospitals I am employed at with the intention to rehome him. He was going to be euthanized because his owner is moving to Japan. He has chronic dry eye and is 13 years old, but is in otherwise good health. He is neutered and wee wee pad trained. He is an indoor dog with run of the house and is housebroken. He is not leash trained. He knows his name, and comes when called. He is outgoing and gets along with men, woman, children, teenagers, cats, dogs, and other small animals. He has been moved around quite a bit and doesn't seem to have issues as long as he has a soft place to lie down. He needs to be shown where his wee wee pads are kept and they should be in a large area (preferably not on the carpet) in case he misses. He has KCS ( chronic dry eye) in his right eye, the other eye is reduced from a previous infection when he was with his old owner. I treat with NPD ophthalmic ointment and artifcial tears 2-3 times per day. He is a very happy little dog, he would be great with an elderly person. He loves to sleep in bed with me and snuggle against my feet. He is very happy to get attention and dances whenever I get home from work or school. If I didn't work and have school so much and have many of my own pets I would keep him, however I can not give him the attention he deserves

Name: Lucy
Sex: Female (altered)
Breed: Blue Heeler
Age: 5 years
Location: Carriere, MS
Vet/Medical Info: Lucy is a wonderful dog. She is on Phenobarbital and Potassium Bromide for seizures. On 1/25/2011 she was given a one year rabies vaccination as well as bordatella, DA2PLCPV and a heartworm test which was negative. She also had a fecal float done and had a thorough annual wellness examination. On 2/9/2011 she presented with staph pyoderma and was given cyphalexin and derma vet ointment. On 4/25/2011 she was given heartguard 1 year tablets. On 9/16 she presented with discospondylitis and was given a metacam injection and previcox medication. She is currently on phenobarbital, potassium bromide and previcox for her arthritis at a cost of $120 per month.
Owner Info: Lucy is an incredible dog, very sweet. She's almost completely blind, she has epilepsy and she has arthritis in her back as well. The seizures are very well controlled on the medication, she'd only have a seizure if she were put under a large amount of stress or frightened badly, an example being another dog jumping on her and snarling. Because of the medicines she takes that keep her going, her owners are trying to find her a new loving home because they can't afford $120 per month in doggie pills. They love her very, very much and want to know she'll be somewhere where she'll be happy.

Name: Trevor
Sex: Male (altered)
Breed: Shih Tzu
Age: 7 ½ years
Location: Atlanta, GA
Vet/Medical Info: Trevor's current vet recently passed away so we have been unable to get recent records. We did contact his previous vet who was able to tell us he was neutered, but not by them. They last saw him in 2009. At that time he tested negative for heartworm.
Owner Info: DOB 8/22/2004. Trevor's current owner rescued him four years ago from a puppy mill. She was able to take care of him at that time, but lost her job. With her current job she is no longer able to provide the care that he needs. She works very long hours now and he needs more care than she can provide. She has had to move into an affordable apartment and it has carpet, Trevor has accidents and the landlord will not agree to let her keep him, she is also no longer able to afford the medical care that he needs. He has dry eye syndrome. He only requires drops at this point, but the vet says that it will worsen over time. He is an indoor dog who is crated, he is not housebroken but is leash trained. He is an outgoing boy who is good with women, teenagers, other dogs and small animals. Trevor can be a little aggressive around food, he will growl at other animals. He adapts well to new situations if he has time and attention. She has worked extensively with him on house training, he is fine if someone is able to take him out about every 5-6 hours. He is not able to hold it in the crate longer than that. He has a low IQ due to being neglected so he needs someone who is patient and kind. He responds very well to positive reinforcement and treats. He also has terrible storm anxiety. He has the sweetest personality and is very loving. He is a lap dog and wants to be with you wherever you are. He sleeps in his bed next to his owners and is very submissive. This is very difficult as Trevor is very much loved but they are no longer able to meet his needs and it is now unfair to him.

Name: Boomer
Sex: Male (not yet altered)
Breed: Walker Coonhound
Age: Unknown
Location: West Salem, OH
Vet/Medical Info: Boomer saw the vet 12/9/2011 and was dewormed. He has limited vision, his left eye doesn't constrict but the retinas are normal. There is a note on his file to schedule a visit for neutering and vaccinations.
Owner Info: Boomer was a stray that came into his current owners yard. He was very thin and had worms, they fed him and eventually brought him into the house. He is a good dog but they have one rescue and two large strays that they have kept already so they cannot keep him. They put posters in the local shelters and pet stores hoping an owner would call, two local rescue groups have been contacted to try to place him also. Boomer has been recently housebroken, he's doing really well and seems to walk well on a leash. It is hard to work on other commands with all the other dogs around, but they think he can learn if someone works with him. Boomer is good with people of all ages and good with other dogs. He has no aggression but is very intent on food - he grabs and attacks food even after being fed regularly for about a month now. This may take longer to overcome. They had a houseful of company over the holidays, furniture was moved, people milling around and he did well with all the confusion. He does not like car rides though. He has started gaining some weight and muscle since his pictures were taken when they first got him. His coat has gotten softer and his general health seems good except he drinks a lot of water. Boomer has been checked by a vet, they said his pupils are dilated and will not constrict even in direct light. Feels he has some vision just not sure how much. Boomer is being taken back to the vet this week to get neutered, vaccinated and heartworm tested. They are willing to keep Boomer until he can be placed in a good home. He is very friendly and now loves attention. Boomer has figured out the pet door and has not tried to run away even when he got out of the fenced yard.

Name: Cooper
Sex: Male (altered)
Breed: Shi-Poo
Age: 6 ½ years
Location: Tipp City, OH
Vet/Medical Info: Cooper had a complete physical 11/2012. He is neutered and heartworm negative. He is due for Rabies 10/7/12, Bordetello 11/29/12, Distemper 10/28/13 and the lepto/parvo 11/2012. He has cataracts.
Owner Info: DOB 7/15/2007. Cooper's owner needs to find a new home for him due to personal circumstances. Cooper has been an excellent dog, friendly, laid back, so easy to love. Circumstances have arrived that make it necessary for her to find him a new and loving home. Cooper is essentially blind due to bilateral cataracts, his first one formed at 10 months old followed by the other eye at one year of age. Surgery is probably a viable remedy to restore his sight but she just cannot afford the cost involved unfortunately and that makes it all the more horrible to know that he could see if it weren't for money issues. He is up to date on all vaccines and has seen his vet regularly. He is large for his breed, his mom and dad were 7 lbs and 13 lbs and Cooper weighs in at 37 lbs. The picture is before his eyes clouded but he still looks adorable. Cooper is an indoor dog with the run of the house, he is housebroken and leash trained. He is good with people and children of all ages, other dogs, cats and small animals. Cooper does very well with his visual impairment and fly’s up and down their stairs incredibly well. Other than his vision he is healthy as a horse as they say. He has had some problem with flea bite allergy but is under control and she keeps him on Comfortis year round now and sprays the yard area where he goes potty. Cooper is a warm, loving, easy going boy and will make someone a very special companion. Cooper's current owner is happy to continue caring for him until we can find him a permanent home.

Name: Toby
Sex: Male (altered)
Breed: Border Collie Mix
Age: 2 years approximately
Location: Lucasville, OH
Vet/Medical Info: Toby visited the vet on 2/1/2012, he is neutered and weighs 31.2 pounds. He received DHPP vaccinations and a 3 year rabies shot. He was tested for heartworm, lyme, e.canis and anaplasmosis - all negative.
Owner Info: Toby was a stray dropped off with other strays. His current owners have had over 15 dogs dropped off at sugar cove in the last three months, they mainly have Chihuahua's. Toby is bigger than the dogs they usually rescue, right now they have mostly older dogs whose owners have passed away. They are afraid he is going to hurt one of the smaller dogs, he seems to get frustrated a lot. Toby is an indoor dog confined to one area of the house, he is housebroken but not leash trained. Toby has been going outside and at night they use puppy pads in the amish building, he also uses them. He is nervous and shy. Toby shows some aggression around food, when they gave him a treat he dropped it and then went berserk. He showed aggression toward the Chi's. It looks like Toby has no colored part to his eyes. He looks very healthy and his coat is good. They would like him to be somewhere where he can find a home, the Chi's are not the most patient neighbors and they don't want them fighting, it's is not fair to keep him in a crate most of the time.

Owner Info: Toby is an outside dog. He is smart and approachable. I have high hopes for him to be able to adopt to new surroundings. Toby grew up at the farm surrounded by horses. He used to run around and chase rats and mice. Since becoming blind, it is unsafe for him to stay with farm animals.

Name: Mike Green Power Ranger
Sex: Male (altered)
Breed: Great Dane/Lab Mix
Age:10 months
Location: Irving, NY
Vet Info: Mike is neutered and up to date on vaccines. Due to his age at the time of vaccines, heartworm test was not performed. Distemper expires in 1/2013 and rabies expires 9/12/2012. He has kidney issues and needs to watch his protein/water intake.
Owner Info: Mike’s owner recently got a new job where she is working 6 days a week, she also has a 4 yr old son. She feels as though it is unfair for Mike to be locked in a crate for 8+ hours a day. He also has kidney issues and has to be monitored on his water and protein intake. It is just too much for her to handle being a single working parent. He knows his name is Mike he also knows what the word no means. He sits when you say sit and listens when you tell him down. Mike is an indoor dog with run of the house but he is not housebroken. He is leash trained. He gets along with adults and children of all ages. She has a 6 yr old cat and doesn't feel as though Mike is good with her - all he wants to do is chase her and play with her and she wants nothing to do with him, he is also rough with her. Mike is a very smart happy and playful puppy. He is stubborn and very energetic.

Owner Info: Travieso's owner can no longer take care of him. He is elderly and unable to walk and Travieso has lost his sight and needs extra care and attention. Travieso is an outdoor dog with no restrictions. He is housebroken and leashed trained and knows basic commands like sit and stay. He's had no formal training but is very obedient. He gets along well with adults and children, dogs and cats. His visual impairment is very recent, but he is moderately adapting. He is bumping into a lot of things, but that doesn’t hold him back or change his mood, he still seems happy. No signs of aggression, he is very loving and friendly with everyone. They are desperately looking to put him in a good home or place where he can be happy. He is a very good dog and they would hate to take him to a shelter. They are running out of time because if he doesn't find a home soon, he will have to go to a shelter. They are willing to travel to any state in the US in order for him to find a good and loving home.

Name: Charlie
Sex: Male (altered)
Breed: Boxer/Lab Mix
Age: 2+ years
Location: Lancaster, SC
Vet Info: Neuter verified. Rabies (1 yr) due 5/24/12, HW negative - due again 5/24/12.
Owner Info: Charlie is one of my foster dogs that I pulled from Foothills Shelter. He is a young dog who has developed early onset cataracts and chronic uveitis. I had hoped to adopt him out quickly but when it was determined he had vision problems, I thought it best not to. Charlie is an indoor dog who is crated. He is housebroken and leash trained and he knows sit, down, leave and crate. He has an outgoing personality and is good with people and children of all ages as well as other dogs. He currently resides with two Rottweilers, a Dachshund and a tuxedo cat. He has been protective of certain toys that are his favorites but not aggressive. I can take the toy out of his mouth without issue and if he is playing too intensely with another dog, can take it away from them both and they will go lay down without fuss. Charlie has completely adapted to his home environment. Lives indoors and plays outdoors in my back yard. Limited vision in front of him if you drop a treat but his side and distance vision appear to be fine. Charlie has developed stringy cataracts in both eyes, vet feels it may be genetic. Also has chronic uveitis, which is treated with steroids and eyedrops. Charlie is a very healthy playful dog, loves to run and play. Great appetite and loves to wrestle with my other dogs and snuggle with me. He is calm, content and does not appear to be too affected by the vision problem.

Name: Duke
Sex: Male (altered)
Breed: Chow Chow
Age: 11 years
Location: Naugatuck, CT
Vet/Medical Info: Rabies (3 yr) and Distemper due 3/2013. Recent HW test not done. Neuter verified.
Owner Info: Duke is an indoor dog confined to one area of the house. He is housebroken, leash trained, and knows the sit, be a good boy and go to the bathroom commands. He has never gone on furniture. Duke is good with people of all ages, other dogs, cats, and other small animals. Duke had lived with another dog at one point and they were fine and he has been around cats and bunnies - he was good with them all. Before he went blind he used to play at the dog park with all different dogs. Duke had glaucoma and was given drops but they didn't reverse the problem. He went blind and had one eye removed about 2 years ago. Soon after, the other eye had to be removed due to pain and pressure. At this point, we did a new procedure that took the fluid out of the eye and turned it "off." He was seen by an eye specialist in Norwalk, CT. He is overall healthy besides his blindness. He underwent ACL surgery years ago but gets around fine.

Name: Heidi
Sex: Female (altered)
Breed: Wheaten Terrier Mix
Age: Approximately 10 years
Location: Palm Bay, Florida
Vet/Medical Info: Heidi is spayed and utd on rabies and distemper, three year distemper and rabies vaccine was given on 2/27/10, so is not due until 2/27/13. She is diabetic and has diabetic cataracts, but no other health issues noted. Currently gets 5 units of insulin 2x/day. She has not been hw tested in the past several years.
Owner Info: Heidi is an indoor dog with the run of the house, she is housebroken, leash trained, and knows sit, speak, give me your paw, up, lay down, and come here. She is outgoing and gets along well with people of all ages, cats, dogs, and other small animals. At one time she resided with 4 cats and a bird. When cats were newborn, Heidi adopted them as her own babies - she loves them. Loves everyone and everything. When company comes to the door she thinks they are her company, very happy around people - they can't believe she's blind. She would be able to see if she had surgery but we can't afford it. Heidi has diabetes and gets insulin shots twice a day, other than that she is very healthy. Heidi is the sweetest dog I've ever been around. My husband and I plan to travel and we cannot find anyone to care for this special needs dog. The only resort is to "put her down.” I don't have pictures of her on computer but Heidi is mostly Wheaten Terrier....she looks like the dog on Beneful Dog Food bags.
