Foxy and Pups

 Update:  We raised $210 for Foxy and her pups!  Thank you, DDRC!

Here's a message from Linda Palermo:  Thank you EVERYONE so very much for your contribution! This is such a big help for Mom Foxy and her babies! We typically rescue one dog here and there and do the best we can but when a Mom and pups came along that can really bust the bank account! We appreciate this sooo much that words can never describe. Have a wonderful holiday and we will post link to pics as the babies grow and Mom gets healthier.

Thanks again!
Linda, Michelle, Jeff, Marcie, and most of all Foxy and pups

These cute puppies need our help. Linda and Michelle are starting a new rescue called TenderHeart Rescue. They are located in rural Georgia, where the need is great. They had contacted me a few weeks ago about our supporting their rescue. Here's an email I received from Linda a few days ago:

"When we were leaving Petsmart adoptions on Saturday we were approached by another rescue group regarding this mom dog and her pups. No other rescue had room for her and the pups had just been born outside the night before. We have had record lows temps in GA and it was about to get really nasty outside (teens). Even thou we didn't have the funds or the room we took in this poor baby and her pups who were all left outside on purpose by the idiots where she lived. We got them Saturday night (thanks to Michelle) and on Sunday we lost one pup. Mom rejected her. We had 6 boys and two girls. Even thou we typically rescue Pyrs, as you see it doesn't matter when a baby is in need!" 



TenderHeart is just starting, doesn't have much money and is not yet a 501c3, so donations may not be tax deductible. Linda and Michelle need our help with these puppies - the vet bills will be enormous (though, hopefully, the adoption fees will cover them eventually).

There are some more pictures at http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2074920&id=1073077778&l=6c99501980 

Look at how skinny the poor momma dog is! 

TenderHeart could really use $100 to pay for vet bills. Could you please help?

They don't have a website yet, so I created this ChipIn page for donations. Any donations will go to TenderHeart's Paypal account. 

This is the first time I have done this, so I hope it works - please comment below if it doesn't.

Thank you for helping!

Samantha

Update:  The Doomed Dogs came through with enough money to save Samantha!  She is now in Atlanta in foster with the Great Pyrenees Rescue of Atlanta.  
This lovely, sad-eyed young Great Pyrenees girl is Samantha. She had the misfortune of becoming a stray. She was picked up by animal control near Knoxville, TN and went to a kill shelter - the same one that we helped Clarence escape from last week.

The wonderful people at Great Pyr Rescue of Atlanta asked us to help them rescue her. They will make sure she is vetted and put into their foster progam in Georgia, where she will eventually find a good, forever home.

Could you please help Samantha escape from the kill shelter? $125 will really help GPRA be able to afford to save her!

Please make a tax-deductible donation of $5-$25 in Samantha's name to GPRA at their website athttp://www.greatpyratlanta.com/

Donations can be made by check, Paypal or credit card. If you do donate, please comment below so we can keep track.

Thanks for your help - together we can save a lot of precious lives!

Loomis (LuLu)

Update:  We raised the money needed, and the major donor to her cause decided to name her "Loomis" or "LuLu" for short - a name everyone seemed to like! 
 This is 54, another pure-bred Pyr, in the kill shelter in Brownwood, TX. See the ugly tag tied to her neck - that's how her rancher owner kept track of her - by number, not by name, just like a steer. She was downsized from the ranch and ended up the shelter to be put to sleep. Nice human being, that owner.

Anyway, she is a real sweetie and still trusting and affectionate to humans, despite her history.

When the people from Great Pyr Rescue Society went to pick up Dolly for us, they noticed 54 at the pound. They asked if we could sponsor her, so they could afford to take her on. I told GPRS that we would try to raise $125 and they said that would be enough to enable them to save her.

Since 54 does not have a name, GPRS said that we could name her!

Please help get 54 out of the kill shelter by making a tax-deductible donation of $5-$25 in her name to GPRS at their website at http://www.greatpyreneesrescuesociety.org/
Donations can be made by check, Paypal or credit card. If you do donate, please comment below so we can keep track.

I think it would only be fair for the people that donate to decide on a pretty name for this precious girl.

Thanks for your help - together we can save a lot of precious lives!

Glory

Update:  DDRC raised the money Glory needed!  Glory is out of the shelter and has already gone to her new permanent family!

This beautiful, pure-bred Great Pyrenees is Glory. She is two years old and sweet as can be. She now belongs to a kill shelter in Arkansas. This is a shelter that tries hard not to have to euthanize, so they have had her in foster. Unfortunately, her foster time has run out. She is being returned to the shelter where she has very little time left before they will have to kill her.

I have been looking for the last couple of weeks for a rescue to take her. Alissa, the wonderful NGPR person in Arkansas, said she would take Glory if we can sponsor her. We need to raise $150 to get Glory safely out of the kill shelter by Wednesday and into the loving arms of Alissa and NGPR. This money will pay for her vet bills and boarding for a week. (We only pay a portion of the total costs - the cost to a rescue for a healthy Great Pyr is typically around $500 when all the expenses are taken into account.)

Please help by making a tax-deductible contribution of $5-$25 to NGPR athttp://www.nationalpyr.org/join_or_donate.php. You can send a check or use Paypal (you don't need a Paypal account - you can use a credit card). If you do give, please comment below so we can keep track.

Thanks very much!

It seems like it never ends, doesn't it? There are thousands of dogs going into kill shelters every day. Most them die there. But with your help, the DDRC can help rescues save some of them. Please stay with us for the long term and give a little when you can!

Faith

Update:  the Doomed Dogs did raise the money to pay down the vet bills for Faith.  She is safe, happy and waiting to find a special family of her own.  Lynne Galloway of NCGPR wrote to us:  
"Thank you guys so much!!! I am looking at her sweet face right now and her and I both say a huge THANK YOU!!!! She still needs the perfect home for her remaining golden years, as the home we had planned on for her fell through, so if anyone is in proximity and interested, please comment here! Thank you so much, without you guys, we wouldn't have been able to do what we've done with her!!"


This little lady is Faith, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. She has been a victim her whole life yet just responds with love to any affection she gets. She is around 10 years old and has been in the hands of a puppy mill since she was a puppy. Year in and year out she has lived in rough conditions, producing litter after litter. She had a prolapsed uterus from the last litter (born just 10 weeks ago) and was ready for the garbage heap when the puppy mill got busted.


A kind rescuer took her and a big group of other Cavaliers from the puppy mill. Our old friends at Coastal NC Great Pyr Rescue agree to take in Faith and 6 others - even though Cavs are very different from Pyrs!



The Cavs turned out to need a lot of vetting and Coastal, like most rescues, was not prepared for a big financial shock. They spent $600 just on getting Faith fixed up. 

Coastal asked if we could help pay part of the vet bills for Faith.

Could you please help to raise $125 for Faith?

Please contribute $5-$25 for Faith at the rescue's website:http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/NC708.html

Contributions should be tax deductible - when you contribute, please note that the contribution is for Faith and comment below to help us keep track. 

Thank you for being part of Doomed Dogs - you have already made a big impact on rescue in the Southeast and there is so much more we can do together to help innocent dogs in bad situation.

Clarence

Update: The  Doomed Dogs came through with the dough and Clarence was saved by the Great Pyrenees Rescue of Atlanta!  He is now living with a foster family in Atlanta.


This handsome young guy is named Clarence. He is in a shelter in East Tennessee (where I come from originally). You can tell from the picture that there are very caring people there that try to find places for the dogs to go. Unfortunately, even nice shelters run out of room and then they have no choice but to create room.

I spotted Clarence earlier in the week on Petfinder and asked the Mary Lou at Great Pyrenees Rescue of Atlanta if they could stretch their rules a little and take him even though he is not in Georgia. Mary Lou said yes, but can the Doomed Dogs help with a sponsorship to pay for transport and some medical?

Well, I told her we could and they arranged to pull him from the shelter!

The shelter says that Clarence is about 4 years old and very sweet. He was found as a stray without a collar or microchip and his owner has not claimed him, poor guy.

A note on GPRA - this group was started in January 2010. I first contacted them early in the year and found that they are very well organized and try hard to help all the Pyrs they can. Doomed Dogs has sponsored several dogs with them, and before we started Doomed Dogs, I sponsored several other dogs with them. Clarence is the 99th Pyrenees that they have saved in just 12 months! Amazing!

I think they are wonderful to work with. They will get Clarence checked out at the vets, pay for all medical costs, put him in a loving foster home and eventually find him a permanent home.

Please help them save Clarence.

We need $125 in donations - it won't pay all the costs to save him, but it will help a lot.

Please make a tax-deductible donation of $5-$25 in Clarence's name to GPRA at their website athttp://www.greatpyratlanta.com/
Donations can be made by check, Paypal or credit card. 

Toby

Update:  The DDRC came up with the promised donations.  Toby is safely out of the shelter and into rescue with Arkansas GP Rescue, but he is not in good health.  Alissa wrote to us:  "The bad news is that Toby is in much worse shape 66 lbs, hook and ring worm and HW+. Some unidentifiable skin condition to boot. Poor guy. The transport person reports that he is a lover dog, calm and relaxed. He had 2 baths at the vets office, they said he was so caked with feces and urine that they wouldn't neuter him until he was relatively clean."  Alissa is nursing him back to health, but it will be a long, expensive process.  

This is Toby. He got in a bad situation and was facing death when Arkansas Great Pyr Rescue got involved. Here's what I heard from Alissa:

"I was contacted 12/02 by the Cabot Animal Control about a male pyr Toby that had been "rescued" from his farmer owner that was going to shoot because he accidently suffocated a lamb he was guarding by laying on it. The rescuer has lost her job and has been unable to provide proper careor shelter for Toby and several other dogs. The Animal Control Officer is trying to work with the rescuer and other rescues to take the dogs prior to arresting the woman for animal neglect. The Animal Control has a foster for 2 wks after Toby's vetting. Which would perhaps give us time to find a more permanent foster or an adopter and bypass the whole boarding issue. The total cost of his vetting barring any unforseen skin issues is $125. I apologize for asking so soon after Glory but it seems like desperate dogs in Arkansas NEVER stop coming. I had no idea how many needy dogs were around until we started rescuing. Sometimes I feel like I'm shell shocked from the day to day dombardment of desperate dogs. If it's too soon just say so and I will figure something else out.

The Animal Control Officer will get pictures this weekend on an unofficial visit. She also said that if they have to take Toby into the Shelter that another dog or Toby will probably have to be PTS."

"PTS" means "put to sleep".

I told Alissa we would sponsor Toby, so when he did go to Animal Control, NGPR stepped in and took him out. He will go to the vets tomorrow.

Because you all have been so generous in donating, more and more now all we have to do is say we will sponsor and the rescue will move forward and take the dog out of the shelter! That takes a lot of the stress out of the situation.

Could you please help save Toby? We need $125. 

Please help Toby by making a tax-deductible contribution of $5-$25 to NGPR athttp://www.nationalpyr.org/join_or_donate.php. You can send a check or use Paypal (you don't need a Paypal account - you can use a credit card). If you do give, please comment below so we can keep track.

Thanks very much!

There are thousands of dogs going into kill shelters every day. Most them die there. But with your help, the DDRC can help rescues save some of them. Please stay with us for the long term and give a little when you can.

Dash

Update:  Dash was pulled from the kill shelter with the help of the money donated by the Doomed Dogs and the support of National Great Pyr Rescue.  He is  now in foster and quickly gaining weight!


This is Dash, a pure-bred Great Pyrenees, in a kill shelter in KY. He is due to be killed on Friday. Pyr rescue legend (and Doomed Dogs member!) Sue Carlin is arranging to take him out of the shelter tomorrow. Sue asked for our help to pay for some of the cost.

Dash has literally been starved - I would guess that he is 30-40 pounds underweight - much like Corine, the Pyr we sponsored with GPRA last month (go back in our pages and see her photo - a nightmare; if you shaved Dash, I think he would be the same). This boy has been treated very, very badly, but we have a chance to help get him to a better life!

Sue is confident that when she gets him to MA next week, it will be easy to find a good, permanent home for Dash.

Could you please pledge $5-$25 to help Sue save Dash? I told her I thought we could do $125.

We don't have a rescue to donate to yet, so please just pledge. Sue will line up a rescue later tonight or tomorrow to work with her on saving him, but in any event she will arrange for Dash to get out of that kill shelter tomorrow and into boarding.

Please help!

Thanks,

Mike

Dolly

Update:  Dolly was pulled from the kill shelter by our friends at Great Pyrenees Rescue Society.  She is now in their care in Houston.  Here is an email GPRS sent us:  "Thank you to everyone that donated to Dolly & Bailey!  Dolly is being sprung from the shelter today! She will be on her way to a new life where she will not have to worry about being cast off. She should be in a foster home soon and we will keep you updated. 

Bailey is doing much better and will be released from the vet on Saturday where one of our volunteers will pick him up and get him to Houston. We have been told that despite the cruelty that was put upon him he still loves people and loves to give kisses! 

On behalf of GPRS and the dogs, THANK YOU and HAPPY HOLIDAYS! You have given them the best gift of all. LIFE!"

This large and beautiful young lady is named Dolly. She is now in a shelter in rural Texas. I sent out some emails trying to find a rescue to take her last week. The wonderful people at Great Pyr Rescue Society responded and said they would! But they need help with paying for boarding her while they find a foster family. They can pick her up from the shelter this week, if we can raise $125 for her boarding.

Dolly is the type of livestock guardian dog that is so gorgeous that three breeds claim them - the Pyr people call them Great Pyrenees, the Akbash people say they are Akbashes and the AS people call them Anatolian Shepards! Of course, ranchers are usually more interested in performance than pedigrees, so she could be all or any one of the breeds! Anyway, she is the spitting image of my running buddy, AJ, so I'll call her an Akbash, so long as you don't tell Great Pyr Rescue!

Please help Dolly find a new home away from the shelter by making a tax-deductible donation in her name to GPRS at their website athttp://www.greatpyreneesrescuesociety.org/
Donation can be made by check, Paypal or credit card. If you do donate, please comment below so we can keep track.

We need to raise $125 by Wednesday to get her out of the shelter - please help!

Thanks!

Chance

Update:  We raised the money needed to help Coastal NC Great Pyrenees Rescue spring Chance from death row, but another rescue beat us to him!  He was pulled from the shelter by that rescue and hopefully is in a good foster now.  CNCGPR refunded the money donated.

Chance, a 12-month-old Great Pyr puppy, had the terrible luck to be picked up as a stray in Abbeville, LA. Why is Abbeville a bad place for a stray? Because the pound in Abbeville has no adoption program. If the owners don't get the dog back in 4 days, they kill the dog as soon as they need space.

The pound only lets one small rescue pull dogs to save. That rescue tries to find other rescues to help, but mostly the dogs that come into the shelter just die there.

Earlier this week I was urgently looking for a resuce to take Chance but I had no luck. I was totally surprised when out of the blue Coastal NC Great Pyr Rescue asked if we could give them some financial support to enable them to save him - what luck! 

If we can put together $125, it will pay for Chance to be pulled from this death trap and boarded for a couple of weeks while CNCGPR arranges transport from Louisiana to North Carolina.

Could you please help? Every day counts - we don't know when they will run out of room and have to kill him. Please, let's try to raise the money by Monday!

(Sorry everything is a rush with these dogs. It's the reality, unfortunately - and I have learned too many times that the shelters really do kill the dogs when they don't have space.)

Please contribute $5-$25 to save Chance at the rescue's website:http://www.petfinder.com/shelters/NC708.html

You can contribute by check, Paypal or credit card.

Contributions should be tax deductible - when you contribute, please note that the contribution is for Chance and comment below to help us keep track. 

Thanks!

Bailey

Update:  We raised the money we pledged to pay part of his vet bill.  Bailey is now recovering and living with a foster family in Houston.  We recieved this note from GPRS:
Thank you to everyone that donated to Dolly & Bailey! 

Dolly is being sprung from the shelter today! She will be on her way to a new life where she will not have to worry about being cast off. She should be in a foster home soon and we will keep you updated. 

Bailey is doing much better and will be released from the vet on Saturday where one of our volunteers will pick him up and get him to Houston. We have been told that despite the cruelty that was put upon him he still loves people and loves to give kisses! 

On behalf of GPRS and the dogs, THANK YOU and HAPPY HOLIDAYS! You have given them the best gift of all. LIFE!.


This is Bailey. He was in a kill shelter in Dallas for a few days and his hold ran out yesterday. He has a horrible wound on his neck, probably from a rope and a sadistic or criminally negligent owner. I don't want this page to turn into a horror show, so I won't paste the photo here, but if you want to see it, you can here: 
http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2073830&id=1073077778&l=f8d8fe2391

They were going to kill him today. With no time to waste and with the whole uncertainty around Chance fresh in my mind, I committed us to sponsor him. The Great Pyrenees Rescue Society (GPRS) pulled him today. He is now safe at a vet in Dallas and will soon be on his way to Houston.

GPRS is the group that is taking Dolly, the Pyr we just donated to. They are a wonderful Pyr group that saves a lot of Great Pyrenees.

I promised our help and GPRS needs it to pay for Bailey's vet bill and to transport him to Houston.

So please help pay to save Bailey and get him fixed up!

We need $125 in donations - it won't pay his whole vet bill, but it will help a lot.

Please make a tax-deductible donation of $5-$25 in his name to GPRS at their website at http://www.greatpyreneesrescuesociety.org/
Donations can be made by check, Paypal or credit card. If you do donate, please comment below so we can keep track.

Thanks for your help - together we can save a lot of precious lives!

Cooper

Update:  With the help of the funds raised by the Doomed Dogs, the Cherokee Humane Society pulled Cooper from the shelter and boarded him for two weeks.  He is now in foster care in a rescue.

This is Cooper. Cooper is an inmate in the Gaffney, SC shelter and was due to be put down last week. The wonderful people at the Cherokee Humane Society got him a repreive for a few more days, but they need for us to sponsor him so they can afford to take him. 

We have until Friday to raise $100. If we can raise the money, the Humane Society will pull him from the shelter and board him until they can find a rescue to take him.

From what I heard, Cooper was an owner surrender. His crime? He was too nice and too subservient to other dogs. I guess Cooper just wasn't tough enough for his macho owner, so the owner turned him in to be killed.

Anyway, we have the chance to save him and hopefully put him on the path to upgrading his owner!

Please contribute $5-$25 to save Cooper by Friday. Tax-deductible donations can be made to the Cherokee Humane Society athttp://www.petfinder.com/shelters/SC136.html

Donations can be made by check, by Paypal or with a credit card (please specify that the donation is for Cooper). If you donate, please comment below so we can keep track.

Thanks and bless you for helping this poor guy!

Peanut

Update:  Supported by the donations from the Doomed Dogs, Great Pyrenees Rescue of Atlanta pulled Peanut from the kill shelter just in time and placed him with a foster family!

This is Peanut, a Great Pyrenees in a little kill shelter in rural Georgia. Today I was forwarded this email from the shelter:

"This boy has been at the shelter now for two weeks and is begining to become kennel crazy. If he responds negativly the shelter will be forced to put him down. Pyrs are not good when kept in small crowded kennels at shetlers. Can anyone help this boy ASAP."

I contacted Great Pyrenees Rescue of Atlanta and offered to sponsor him if they would take him. They quickly said "yes" because, the wonderful people they are, they seem always willing to step up in an emergency.

We have until Monday to raise $125 to get Peanut out of the kill shelter. Please donate $5-$25 to GPRA at http://www.greatpyratlanta.com/donate.html

You can donate by check, credit card or Paypal and your donation should be tax deductible. Please specify that your donation is for Peanut and comment below so we can keep track. 

Thanks - your donations make a life-or-death difference to these dogs!
  

Lady

Update:  Lady was pulled from the shelter by the wonderful people at Great Pyrenees Rescue of Atlanta with the support of our donations and put into foster care.

This is Lady, the unfortunate Pyr used as a breeding machine for a puppy mill in Missouri. We raised $35 for her last week, but we need another $65 to sponsor her acceptance with Great Pyr Rescue of Atlanta. 

Here's her story from a Pyr rescuer: "a three year old pyr that a breeder said they were going to stop feeding b/c she isn't producing pups (her last litter only consisted of two still borns). You can imagine how this disgusts all of us that love animals, and the rescue doesn't have anyone to take her." 

Lady's case is doubly confusing because originally we were raising money to enable NC Coastal Pyr to rescue her - but they have been overwhelmed by an influx of a lot of sick King Charles Cavaliers from a puppy mill, so they can't take her. GPRA has agreed to take her. GPRA changed her name to Emily (not the same Emily that is going to Colorado). Anyway, our donations will enable GPRA to take her on and pay some of her medical expenses.

Please help raise the remaining $65 for her by making a tax deductible donation of $5 to $25 on the GPRA site with a credit card or Paypal or by sending them a check:http://www.greatpyratlanta.com/donate.html

Thanks!

Emily

Update:  Emily was saved by National Great Pyrenees Rescue Oklahoma with the support of our donations.  She is now in foster care with a large Pyr rescue in Colorado.
This sweet baby girl is Emily - a gorgeous one-year-old Great Pyrenees. She and four of her brothers were running loose in rural Oklahoma. One brother was hit by a car and killed. One brother was taken by a rescue. Emily and two of her brothers were taken temporarily by a woman with a heart of gold in OK. A rescue in CO has agreed to take them, but only if they can be boarded for a couple of weeks and given their shots. The wonderful lady that is keeping them temporarily can't keep them at home and has to put them in boarding - but how to pay for it?

Several groups have been trying to raise money for them, but there isn't enough. Could you please help me raise $150 to get Emily her shots, board her and send her to rescue in Colorado?

If you can give $5 to $25, please go to the National Pyr Rescue site athttp://www.nationalpyr.org/join_or_donate.php. You can use Paypal (you don't need a Paypal account - you can use a credit card). If you do give, please comment below so we can keep track.

Thanks very much!

Did You Know? The Rescue Song

To all the loyal supporters of the Doomed Dogs Rescue Club, here's a song from Oklahoma rescuer, Stephanie Powell.  You should feel good knowing you are the kind of person that wouldn't ignore a helpless stray!

http://www.broadjam.com/artists/home.php?artistID=50505

Newton

This chipper little guy is Newton. He is a pal of Yanni's and they were both scheduled to be killed at the Gaffney Shelter this week. The rescue that is taking Yanni agreed to take Newton, too, because of our pledges - sort of a two-for-one deal! Our money will go to boarding the dogs for a couple of weeks and for some of their medical bills.

Yanni

This is Yanni. He was in the Gaffney, SC kill shelter and had about a week to live. We provided funds for the Cherokee Humane Society to take him from the shelter and board him until they find a rescue to take him.

Pickles

Update:  We raised $200 in pledges for Pickles and paid for a week's boarding.  He eventually settled down, but it became clear that he has vision problems.  He was transferred to a big rescue in Colorado, Big Dogs Huge Paws.  They have the resources to give him the care he needs and hopefully find him a forever home.

This is Pickles. He is another one of the Berryville 6, two of whom we helped save a couple of weeks ago. They are the ones whose owner was threatening to shoot because her house was being foreclosed upon.

Pickles is an absolutely gorgeous Great Pyr or Pyr/Akbash mix that is just 10 months old.

He is in a terrible situation. The rescue that took him can't handle him. This is from an email I received from the rescue: 

"I can normally handle anything, but I am just over the edge. I will be totally honest. Pickles (he was called Cry Baby by the Berryville lady) most likely has vision problems. Shelley (Dogs Only) who took Cujo, the brother is sure Cujo does. I was going to get his eyes checked, but I just don't have the money. We think bad vision is why both these pups are insecure and bark all night. I leave all the outside lights on all night and it helps, but not solved. He's half Pyr, what can I say! Sherman, his daddy, has an adopter coming Friday. I know Pickles will have to be in a VERY secure place after Sherman leaves. He will still have Leo, that he came with, but Pickles wants both with him. I hate the thought of boarding him, but worse, the thought of him getting out, letting Leo out and them getting shot by one of these trigger happy farmers around here.

When I got back from dropping off Sherman to be neutered, Pickles had moved the kennel panels in 3 feet and bent one at an almost 45 degree angle. He escaped but never left the property. I had to hire someone to come put everything back and secure it. When I took Sherman up to the house yesterday, Pickles tugged until he got the gate open. I had it double latched and a bungy cord, but he managed to still open the gate. He and Leo were gone. Took several hours before they returned. Sherman had his stitches out this morning. I closed Pickles in the shop so he would not get away. He managed to make it look like a cyclone had passed through. He was in with another dog who has lived in there for over a year, so figured she would keep him occupied. Wrong.

Pickles has had no vetting. I have given him the DHLP/Parvo and wormed him and Comfortis for fleas. One of the 3 has pretty loose stool so have all 3 on metronitazole. Sherman was HW negative, so with Pickles only being 10 months old and Shermans son, I'd be pretty certain he is negative also. He weighs about 60 pounds. He has double dews. His stance is not Pyr and neither is his head, but muzzle is similar along with coat.

I will do what ever I can to get this boy moved to a safe place where he will get what he needs to become adoptable. If a condition is neuter, then I will manage it. I am willing to help with transport up to 125 miles one way. I care about this pup, but my priority has to be with my husband. "

I told the rescue I would pay for boarding while we worked on finding another rescue to help him. So they put him in boarding yesterday. I received another email today:

"Well, one night in boarding and he has been kicked out! Got the call this morning after less then 18 hours there. Tore up 3 water containers, 2 heavy masonite panels used to keep dogs from seeing each other and somehow managed to get his food bowl into the next kennel. No way would it fit under so he had to of slung it over 6' high. Tearing up the water would not be an issue except that the water then freezes on the concrete so he had to be moved to the next kennel. That is how he managed to tear up 2 panels. I'll get the bill for damages Tuesday. 

Pickles must have been in total hysteria. I feel so sorry for him. He is just so scared. He came right to me when he heard my voice. He is back with Leo and so far settled down. I need to go get some more landscape timbers and cut some rebar to secure the fence before night or he will be letting them both out. So far he has not eaten through the chain link. Just torn it loose from the frame or drug it several feet in with his teeth, then went under. He needs someone who understands the needs of a blind dog and I am totally inadequate."

I don't have a rescue to take him yet, but I think this is a really bad situation. Obviously, she can't handle him. I don't know if he has vision problems or not - but I want her to get him to a vet.

I'd like to raise a dowry for him of $200 - maybe then I can find a rescue to rescue him from the situation he is in.

Please help by pledging $5-$25 to save Pickles. There's no one to contribute to yet - but with a dowry and some luck I think we can find a place to take him in.

Thanks!
