This poor girl is Daisy. Terribly abused, Daisy was in a kill shelter in Texas. She is in such bad shape that she was not even available for adoption. Instead, her only possible hope was for a rescue to take her before the shelter put her to sleep. With a respiratory tract infection and a horrible case of mange, she was not an attractive candidate for a rescue to take her.
When our friends from Great Pyrenees Rescue of Houston saw her she was very, very frightened - see how she is backed up into the corner. Who could blame her? The only way a dog gets into this awful condition is mistreatment by humans.
GPRS Houston needs help with this one. We have agreed to sponsor Daisy's rescue. Please help if you can!
With our sponsorship, Great Pyrenees Rescue Society of Houston will get her vetted and put her in a loving foster home while they look for a good permanent home for her.
Our sponsorship money will go toward vet bills and other costs of fostering her until a permanent home can be found.
All donations go directly from Paypal to Great Pyrenees Rescue Society of Houston, a 501(c)(3) charity, and are tax-deductible. Please chip in - together we can save this one and many more!

Connie has a big load of puppies to save by transporting them north next week. There are around 26 now, and she will collect more each day until they leave.
She needs some help with the gas money to make the trip.
Could you please help by chipping in a little?
Connie and Dave regularly drive around and pick up doomed dogs from shelters in Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri and take them to rescues in Minnesota, Illinois and New York. These dogs would likely be put to sleep if not for them. Your donations literally make the difference as to whether there is enough gas money for these trips to happen or not and whether these dogs live or die- thanks for your support!

One of the biggest angels in Great Pyrenees (and other breeds) rescue is Wy Neeley. We have worked with her many times to save dogs. She has gotten very involved in helping the big bunch of GPs caught up in the big Texas cruelty case that you may have heard of.
Here is an email we received: "The shelter is telling me there are 2 females and 8 males, looks like she was breeding them some. The two girls are HW- but all the males are HW+ all under weight but not badly all are scared to death.
These dogs are all part of a cruelty seizure by Killeen Animal Control. They were rescued from a hoarding environment with very bad living conditions. These dogs are available to rescue only. Many of them are shy but not aggressive. They are considered URGENT. They need out ASAP or they will be euthanized. We are overloaded at KAC. If Great Pry rescue is interested in any of these, let me know and... I will be able to provide you with more information. I believe all of them have been de-wormed and given a first round of shots. They have also been heartworm tested. I believe some are neg and some are positive. But like I said, if the rescue is interested in any of them, let me know and I can get more info. For now, here are the pictures. I believe there are 7 pictured that need placement asap.
If anyone can foster or rescue one of these poor babies before they are killed, you can contact ...and she can pull for you. These Pyrs have NO TIME. If anyone can pledge a donation to help with vetting for those who can be saved, that would be great. Thank you. This is truly an emergency. They have to euthanize for space."
After a lot of work by Wy and many others, homes have been found for all 10 of these big GPs - but they need money to transport them this weekend..
Wy set up this chip in - please help save these dogs by making a small donation - thanks!
Message from Wy:
"Per Duste, a transport that will run 4 of the cruelty case Pyrs from TX to CO will cost $650.00. Vetting will run $100.00 for each of the 10 Pyrs (includes Health Certificate for travel). There will not be any Pyrs going to MN as they all found rescues in TX and CO (thank you lord)
Eileen has worked very hard in getting the transport set up but we are relying on chip in to help us get these dogs up to Co. We have been very lucky in getting rescue groups to take all ten plus one other dog. The dogs leave Saturday (September 1st). These dogs have now a chance for a family and home something they have never had before. Three rescue groups here in TX stepped up and each took two dogs two Co. group stepped up and took two each plus a white shepherd from the same cruelty case. So far we have been very lucky these do not seem to have any health issue. All are scared but working it out in there own time. From what we can see besides being smelly and dirty nothing much is wrong that love and time can not cure we need help in getting them up to the Co. groups. Can you help us?"
Bear is in a kill shelter in Oklahoma and due to be put to sleep this week.
Connie at SOS discovered Bear along with 30 others at the shelter that she is transporting to Chicago this week. Unfortunately, the the Chicago rescue can't take Bear because of his age and size.
We have reached out to Doreen at GP Rescue of Oklahoma. Doreen needs our help to be able to take him - otherwise she cannot afford it.
With our financial support, Doreen can take Bear and find a good home for him.
Please help us if you can – we are trying to raise $500 for him.

I know all of you have been watching the weather reports. And one thing stands out: HOT. The temperatures in Oklahoma are extreme. Dangerous for our 4 legged friends. We here at Save Our Strays, Inc. have been getting phone calls and emails begging us to help take animals. An elderly couple north of Tahlequah have 35 rescue dogs. They cannot take care of them any longer because of the heat. All the dogs are older around 4 years of age. Then the Muskogee Pound called. They have 32 including puppies that have to be out by this Tuesday or they will be killed. We have 16 approved for transport for them. The others will come to our place until we can transport them next week. The Sallisaw Pound has 14 that have to be moved by Friday. In the last 2 weeks we have received 4 moms and babies. A total of 32 babies. One of the moms, Becki was found by the Illinois River with her tiny puppies. Some of the puppies had a burn on their back. (Picture enclosed). I am transporting them to Chicago this week. Another mom, Maggie and her 9 puppies was from the Muskogee pound. They are going to New York on the 11th. Another mom has demodex mange and so does her 9 babies. It will take us a few weeks to get them better. Already they have their hair growing back in. We have transport this Tuesday to PAWS Chicago, West Surburban Humane Society and Naperville Humane Society in Chicago. Transport will include 34 puppies, which includes Hannah one of the moms and her 4 babies and adult dogs. One thing is certain now in Oklahoma, we have to transport these precious lives out of this dangerous heat. Please help us with this mission. In the next 2 weeks Save Our Strays, Inc. intends are transporting 90 with 3 transports.
Thank you all for your continued support, prayers and concern for these precious lives here in Oklahoma. Dave and Connie

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.

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!

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."

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

Could you please chip in $5 to help this beautiful girl?
We have seen many sad pictures of beautiful Great Pyrs reduced to starving strays. What makes this one different is that she has a horrible case of mange. She is still in the shelter as of now (June 15) and must stay there until her stray hold in up. In the meantime, the shelter does not allow her to be treated. She itches so much that she is eating herself alive.
Any dog in a kill shelter that looks like this has zero chance of being adopted. Zero.
Lucky for Hope (now being called Clover), the shelter contacted our friend Doreen of GP Rescue of Oklahoma. Doreen couldn't turn her back on this poor, suffering animal but her rescue is run on a shoestring and she can't afford the treatment to cure Hope. Doreen reached out to us to help.
With our financial support, Doreen can pick up Hope on Sunday and give this poor girl the care she needs. Eventually, Doreen will find her a loving home.

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!
You charitable dollars never get a better bang for the buck than supporting these trips - just a little donation can save a life!
Here is an email from Connie:
To all our friends,
As most of you know, Dave and I lost a very loving, dear friend yesterday. Little Bit was our constant companion. We loved him dearly. As the email decribes below, he was a rescue. Rescued from a pound after being found in a field, starved and half frozen to death.
So many do not get out of the pounds to get a chance for their home.
In the loving memory of Little Bit, Dave and I pulled 13 (the number of years Little Bit was here on this earth) dogs from a local pound. Dogs that never would have gotten their chance for a home. Not around here anyway. Most are black dogs. All sweet and loving.
We are taking all to our vet on Monday. Having them vaccinated, spayed and neutered.
I will be sending an email with their pictures.
My hopes are high that the humane societies in Chicago will be kind to step forward to help me and Dave. This is a mission of love. All of the transports are, but for these 13 especially.
Also, our new building (from a blessed grant from Petco) is in the works. I am taking pictures from ground up. This building is a transporting/isolation building that we can prepare the dogs in for transporting to Chicago, New York.
The building will have a room with a tub to bathe the dogs/puppies, and 18 (5 x 10) wire kennels for keeping the transported dogs in. The building will be named in loving memory of our daughter.
On each kennel we have decided to let our friends "chip in". For a donation of your choice we will place a cage plaque with you and your pet's name on it or your organization on that kennel. So, everyone will be helping with each transport. That kennel will have a lucky dog/puppy that gets his/her chance for a home in Chicago, New York.
I hope all will want to "chip in". This building will help our organization save many more lives.
To date, over 8000 have been rescued and transported to out of state humane societies. This is since April 2009.
I will update everyone when the new building will be finished.
A long time coming. And so appreciated.
God Bless all.

Today has been hard on me.
I don't take death easy. Most of us don't. To me I cannot stop the mourning.
Last night our little dog Little Bit had a stroke. I tried to give him comfort. I stayed up all night with him, and so did Dave. And I knew at 4:00 a.m this morning that I would have to have him put to sleep when Dr. Elliott opened.
That was hard to accept.
Little bit came to me last January. He was found in a field, half frozen, starved, truly a little guy that had been thrown away.
I took the call, went and got him. Gave him TLC, love, and lots of Little Caesars.
I did put him on transport to MN first. They rejected him because of his age and heart murmur. So did Chicago.
So, I told the little guy, you are going to stay with me for the rest of your life.
Little Bit went everywhere we did, even when we got our Gizmo.
Little Bit loved the sunshine, loved his Little Caesars, and lying on my feet by my desk. Where ever I went Little bit was there along with Gizmo.
So I have cried today. I have thought of the good times we had. And there were many. It does not ease my loss or pain or sorrow.
He only gave love. And I am so thankful that he came into my life.
Now he is with our daughter. Enjoying the sun and beauty of heaven. Until we meet again, goodbye my Little Bit.

Please see the plea below from Caring Hearts Rescue:
Poor Sam needs our help! Sam was rescued from a shelter where he was dumped. Sam is a 9 year old 28 pound Shih Tzu. You can see the HUGE tumor hanging from his ear! (First photo from left) He was in horrible condition and when no one else stepped up to help him our volunteers jumped into action to bring this sweetie into a foster home. We took him into the Vet to have him checked out and found the following conditions- Sam's bladder is filled with stones! Sam has severe dental disease and will most likely need most of his teeth removed. He has a heart murmur most likely related to the poor condition of his teeth. Sam's lymph nodes were enlarged so our doctor did a LYME test to find him infected.Sam eyes are infected and he also has a dry eye condition needing medications. Sam has a very large tumor hanging from his ear needing to be removed. All of these conditions have been going on for some time and poor Sam has suffered because of it. I know that the enormity of his conditions seems like a lot to undertake, but we knew going into rescuing him that we were up to the challenge. We see a checklist of ailments we can fix to bring this sweet boy to a pain free point in his life. We've already completed the following test: blood chemistry, urinalysis, lyme test, eye stain, tear test, x-rays, fecal test and ear test. The doctor determined we can free Sam from his current painful condition and bring him to a point where he can live his life comfortable and free from pain. Sam is currently taking antibiotics and pain meds while he gains his strength to prepare him for the major surgeries he needs. With your help, we can take Sam in for Bladder Stone Surgery, Tumor removal and removal of all his infected teeth, which was determined to be most of his teeth. We're hoping to have raised enough money to get him into surgery soon!! Please, consider helping with Sam's surgery! Getting Sam to a point where we can show you photos of his care once he's pain free will be an amazing achievement towards saving a loving dog with so much potential. Thank you so much for helping this sweetheart! Tax Deductable Donations can be made here at the Chip In or at the address below. Caring Hearts Rescue is a 501c3 Non-Profit Animal Rescue.

We received this email from a wonderful Good Samaritan:
"My name is Kathy Hogan and I live in Louisville Kentucky. Last Sunday, May 13th (Mother's Day) my friends, daughter and I were driving to Panama City Florida for a vacation. We experienced a great pyranees being struck by a car on the I-65. She was thrown into our lane and couldn't get up due to her hips being broken and a fracture leg. We stopped traffic witth help of others and a TractorTrailor Truck so that we could remove Ice from the road. Police came of course there was nothing they could do but put her down. That was not going to happen! We wrapped her in a blanket, lifted her into a truck and road in the bed with her to an Animal Clinic in East Chase, Alabama to evaluate her. Yes, great news the next day after several xrays that she can survive with extensive surgery and extensive therapy. She had surgery this past Wednesday, May 16th and is doing well. The couple, Greg and Phyllis who helped us is fostering her now. We are still trying to raise money for her and would like to know if you are interested. My friend Joye Estes told me to email you and see what you could do. There is a website that you can go on to donate money for Ice and read the updates on her. Thank you for your concerns and help! Take care
Thanks,
Kathy Hogan"

This poor girl is Daisy. Terribly abused, Daisy was in a kill shelter in Texas. She is in such bad shape that she was not even available for adoption. Instead, her only possible hope was for a rescue to take her before the shelter put her to sleep. With a respiratory tract infection and a horrible case of mange, she was not an attractive candidate for a rescue to take her.
