Will you be one of our
Guardian Angels?
BOBBI
Bobbi is a female shar pei and a senior at that. When we got word from
the shelter that she was in need of our help ...we could not say no. Her owner
was evicted and Bobbi left behind......in pain from her eyes that are in need of
immediate help ....she is going to the Seattle Eye Specialist to see what we can
do for Bobbi and if we can help her keep maybe any eye sight and relieve her
pain. She is such a trooper and totally ignores her pain and just wants to lick
your hand and give you big pei smiles and SO happy to hear your voice and loves
to get treats.
Bobbi is a senior that will more than likely need one or both eyes removed and
we realize that makes her not a huge candidate for adoption but we could not say
no to this sweet girl and even if you do not feel that you cannot handle a
special needs shar pei please open your heart to making a donation so that we
can pay for all of her vet needs and care for the future.
We will update her progress as much as possible and thank you for your warm
wishes.
ZANI
We just
got Zani in and she is a beautiful purebred red dilute shar pei that is probably
around 5 years old. She is house trained but needs a doggy door until she is
comfortable in her surroundings. She loves her person and is a great pal. She
rides well in the car and gets along with other dogs. We will update her ad
when we get to know her better.
DIOGE
My
name is Dioge....get it...ha ha D-O-G ;o) My life started out good and now look
at me!!! 6 years old and I am a wreck....my poor coat........I guess my owner
could not afford to take me to the vet or feed me good food.
I am already looking so much better since on grain free food...I just know I
will be my handsome self again soon!! I actually lived with cats and dogs are
okay too. I have lots of manners and am a good boy...house trained, crate
trained etc I just got to this rescue place today so they say they are going to
take me to the vet and make for sure I have no other problems!!! It will be
awhile before I get to go to a new home ...they say that I need to be my
beautiful self again but if you want to get any updates just email my foster mom
Kelly at
K9WRINKLES@AOL.COM and she will let you know how I am doing and what the
vets said about me........also I know I am going to cost the rescue peeps money
and they rely on donations only...I feel bad using up all their money so if you
wouldn't mind helping out that would be so extra nice......okay for now...thank
you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lil' Joey was found wandering the streets of Idaho last month. It appeared he'd been hanging out for a while and nobody paid much attention to this ugly scrawny little dog. He certainly didn't look perfect; he was missing much of his hair in patches, his elbows were scabbed and turned out a bit, he had a huge growth hanging off of his eye. He was so thin and his rib cage and hip bones protruded out so far, it was a wonder he was alive at all - and clearly wouldn't be for long.
When Kelly Starbuck, director of
MEOW's Canine Division, heard about Joey and saw him for the first
time, she thought Joey looked perfect. She saw past his physical
issues and saw what he really was, a sweet dog, with a big heart,
Once Joey arrived, Kelly made sure that he had a thorough vet checkup. Something was clearly wrong with this boy and the blood work confirmed it - but it was inconclusive. Something was very wrong, and Joey was dying - he was just 5 years old. Kelly put the word out to the animal lover community, asking for funds for the special tests that Joey would now need to diagnose his ailment. She called it "Lil Joey's Fund." Joey's Fund was a mere 4 days old when supporters received devastating news via the following letter from Kelly:
Lil Joey
brought so much love with him all 30 pounds that was left of
him. He was nothing but a dear gentlemen without a mean bone in
his body. He had such admiration for life and loved living it.
Joey I will never forget your sweet little cheek to cheek rubs
and your corkscrew tail and how you marched like you where on
top of the world. Be free of pain....eat what ever you want and
run through the meadows and bask in the sun........until we meet
again my dear dear friend.
Lastly I want
to thank each of you for your support kind words and generosity
of allowing us to find out Joey's ailments so that the correct
choice could be made for him. And in honor of Joey, Cee Cee and
I would like to start the "Lil
Joey's Fund"
for critical situations like his so that we do not have to beg
in a mad rush to get support. So any donations that are made
earmarked "Lil Joey" will go into savings and be used for
situations just like this one.

and
no home. Kelly immediately made arrangements for Joey to make the
long trip from Idaho to Seattle. Had she left him there, he would
have been euthanized without a thought. But Kelly is the champion
for Shar Peis and she wasn't going to let this one be forgotten.
I
have eyes full of tears having to write this email this morning.
The vets at the Vet Specialist in Lynnwood called with the
horrible news yesterday afternoon. The ultrasound revealed that
Lil Joey is full of cancer. He had a huge mass in his upper
intestine, a mass in his liver, kidney & stomach. My nightmare
came true. We were all so hopeful it was just Addison's disease.
I promptly picked him up yesterday with pain meds and after being
on fluids all day (since has not eaten basically since Friday)
that made him feel much more comfortable so he could have one last
night sleeping in my arms.
