Emergency email from Connie - things are really awful in OK and AR - please help if you can. Thanks!
Hi Michael and Friends,
We are in urgent need here in Oklahoma and Arkansas. I have sent out SOS to everyone to please help us. This mom and puppies were going to be killed, but I pulled them until I can transport them next week to Chicago, the 25th.
I no more got these home and got a urgent phone call from Shana with her rescue in Arkansas. Someone had dropped off a mange chocolate lab mom and 11 puppies. Because she has to keep all outside, I will have to bring them to my place.
Dave left tonight with a emergency transport from Shana. She has so many way over 100. Tails Humane Society came down this week to help me.
They are still here and will be leaving tomorrow morning with 45. Dave took 28.
It is going to be 108 tomorrow. We are in trouble.
We are trying to transport these precious souls out as fast as we can.
One rescue person had a fire 3 weeks ago. She lost everything. I transported 29 of her puppies and dogs to Chicago. The other 8 are coming here tomorrow because of the heat.
Please tell everyone thank you for ALL the support. We could not of done what we have so far with the transports.
We will need help for the New York transport. 20 will be making that trip on August 12th.
Please share. With the high temperatures, many who rescue in Oklahoma and Arkanasas are pushed way beyond what they can do. Please, HELP.
This is just a small example of animals needing homes. These will be killed Friday. We will transport them if anyone will take them. There are many others at Shana's Last Chance Rescue in Van Buren, Arkansas dying in the heat that we will transport for her. We transport to Chicago usually weekly but need other outlets for these homeless animals. Please help if you can. Thank you.

If you are a dog and getting abused, does the Texas government help you? NO - they take you away from your owners and punish your owners for abusing you and then kill they you because you don't have a home. What a terrible system!
Please help save the life of this abuse victim.
Our friends at Great Pyrenees Rescue of Houston need our help. Here is an email from them:
"Greta has had to endure a lot in her short life. She was abused & used to breed over & over again. She was confiscated & had to spend 2 months in a shelter while her owner's were on trial for animal cruelty. After the trial, she was only given a few days to be adopted or rescued or she was to be put down. Greta could use a break & we will make sure the rest of her life is happy & carefree.
Could you sponsor Greta?

Email from Gisela at St Cloud's Rescue:
"Hi Michael: Here we are needing help once again. Opie is a beautiful, loving Saint that we pulled from a high kill shelter in Moore, OK. Poor Opie is heartworm positive. Of course he hasn't been neutered and he is at least 50-60 pounds underweight. His hair loss is massive. He has to have iodine baths every few days to combat the hair loss. He also needs to be fully vaccinated. He is so loving and trusting which amazes me with what the poor guy has been through. He will be awesome when we get him healthy which I know will take some time. Thank you again Michael for your help. Sincerely, Gisela" Heartworm is very expensive to treat.

Gulliver was due to die earlier this week because no one wanted to adopt him from the Georgia kill shelter he was in. Our rescue coordinator, Rageana, started a big email/Facebook campaign to find a home for him.
Big Saint-Pyr mixes are not the easiest to place - they eat a lot and take up a lot of space! We had given up hope when Linda Palermo of Tender Heart Rescue, one of our angels of lost causes, stepped up an agreed to take him right before he was to be put to sleep. Tender Heartsis overwhelmed at the moment and couldn't afford another big dog, so we promised to raise the money needed for vetting and boarding Gulliver while Linda finds him a home.
This is the second dog Tender Heart has taken for us in the last couple of weeks - if not for your donations, these dogs would be dead by now. Thanks for your wonderful help in the past - I hope we can rely on your generosity for Gulliver!
All donations go straight from PayPal to Tender Hearts Rescue. Tender Heart is not a 501(c)(3) rescue so donations may not be tax deductible.

Do you love little Malteses? Who doesn't? There are a bunch of these little babies in trouble and our friends at Caring Hearts Rescue have asked for our help - here's an email that explains the emergency:
"Michael,
I’m hoping you can help me with a plea I need for some Maltese Breeding dogs taken in.
All have very bad dental disease, skin infections, Mammary tumors, hernias and none are altered or have shots/hw tested. A big mess! I attached some pics and more links below. Thank you for all your help! Sabina
Help Needed for Maltese Rescued from Backyard Breeder!
We recently rescued neglected Maltese from a Backyard Breeder in Maryland. Many are seniors. The owner of the kennel had passed away. Sadly, all of the dogs are in poor condition. Several of the dogs were taken in by other Rescues. The dogs we have all need medical attention very soon!!! Most of dogs have very bad dental disease, heart murmur, mammary tumors, hernias, skin infections, and no record of vaccines. They need to be placed on antibiotics ASAP with blood work and extra diagnostics for the older ones. All will have to be spayed and neutered. We’re estimating the cost to be around $1900+ for the diagnostics, dentals and surgeries without any new surprises added on.
The dogs were living in pens in the backyard of the Breeder’s home. All were infested with fleas and ticks. It was a long day of driving , bathing and picking off ticks to finally bring these sweeties to a comfortable resting place on a soft bed. They will never again suffer like this. Please, take a look at the link to the images to see the condition before and after their rescue. With your help we can get them into surgery asap! We’re taking in so many needy ones lately. We can’t thank you enough for all your help! These precious dogs that were rescued thank you too!
CHR is a 501c3 organization so you donation is tax deductable."
Dear friends of Connie and Dave's rescue - they need our help again for gas money to save a van load of dogs and puppies!

Cloud was found as a stray with a broken foot. Please help National GP Rescue pay the vet bills to save this handsome young guy!
Here is some information from Reg, our rescue coordinator:
I wanted to update you on the AR Pyr that National has graciously decided to sponsor. I am calling him Cloud for now, but you are welcome to change his name. Thank you again for helping him! The good news first – he is HW negative (J), fecal negative, rec’d his shots, advantage multi for flea/tick/hw prevention and has his rabies tag now; this was accomplished at the first vet late yesterday afternoon.
Xrays were taken of the leg, and his right front foot is severely broken (you can see the leg dangling in the pics below and how the bone is bent in the first photo) due to some type of acute trauma – it was not a tear or some other injury that worsened. He is shown below at the house where he wandered up; they have 4 dogs. He has been on Previcox for pain since last night. The vet referred us to a specialist as Cloud needs plates and screws.
Cloud is on his way to surgery. Dr. Phillips did not want to wait, as it could make the break worse and he is going on vacation and I thought it best to get the surgery done rather than sometime next week with the coming holiday. Cloud should be out of surgery late this afternoon. I will pick him up, and Cloud will stay at my house for recovery. My own Pyr, Bear, will go to boarding at AR Pet Resort, as they can keep him but not a special needs dog given the weekend and upcoming holiday. I am fairly certain they will be able to board him once the holiday has passed. Steve, the owner, of AR Pet Resort, is also going to help network for a foster. I will also see that he’s groomed.
Cloud is a good, sweet calm boy and has endured the break and accompanying pain really well. He rides in a car well thus far. He needs some groceries weighing in around 66 lbs, but vet said he is underweight about 20 lbs. He comes when you whistle.

Disaster in Texas - deadly Parvo hits a litter of Saint-GP puppies - please help!
Email from Gisela:
"Hi Michael. Boy do we need help. We were supposed to get 10 puppies in. We had transport arranged for the puppies. Turns out we got 8 (8-10 week old) pups and one 4 month old puppy, all from the same "owner". We took all the pups to the vets yesterday. They were not feeling very well. Turns out they all have Parvo. One of the puppies died this morning and we had to take two to the ER again today. Each is on four different types of meds. Rosie is giving each one subdermal fluids 3 times a day and of course hand feeding them. As of right now they are still extremely sick. Supposedly they are 1/2 Pyr and 1/2 Saint pups. All are males which make us wonder if he is hiding the females to keep for breeding. SIGH!!!! As usual thank you for your help. Gisela
