SOS Puppy Rescue

Email to our group from rescue angel Connie Guthrie:


Hi Michael and Friends,
We just got home tonight from transporting to Wisconsin Humane Society.

We transported 23 puppies, l mom and her 6 babies (picture was sent to you), 24 adults 4 - 6 month old puppies.

They were overjoyed in Wisconsin to see these Oklahoma beauties.

We HAVE to do another transport on December 10, 2012.

Wisconsin and our Chicago friends wants us to bring up at least 50 of our adults. We also have another 25 puppies for this transport.

PLEASE remember us. We will be taking the mini bus and gas for it is more costly.

Mom and pups from an earlier trip.

The trip to Wisconsin from our home is 15 hours.  We went 900 miles one way. That is 180 gallons of gas for the mini bus.

The trip this week was 1700 miles up and back. Gas for the trip was 120 gallons.

We are so concerned about the weather up north. So this may be the last trip for quite a while.  Any and all dogs that can make this trip is so important for their chance for a home for the holidays.

Dave and me want to wish all a happy Thanksgiving.

The Doomed Dogs Rescue Club has supported the blessed mission of Dave and Connie by donating gas money to help pay for their transport trips.  We have helped save hundreds of puppies in this way.

Please help us help them to continue to save these precious lives!  With over a thousand members of our club, even a small donation by a bunch of us can make a life-or-death difference to these puppies.

Could you please help by chipping in a little?  A $5 donation is enough for the gas to transport one puppy to safety.

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!.

More Puppies

Hi Michael and Friends.

I know it has been awhile since we have emailed you. We have not slowed down. Since October 12 we have transported 289 dogs and puppies to Chicago.  205 went to the Hugh Petco Adoption Event held on October 27th and 28th.

Then we continued to transport each week to other humane societies. We just got back home from transporting 17 puppies to Paws and 4 others to West Suburban Humane Society.


Next Sunday we are going to a new humane society in Wisconsin.

We will be taking our mini bus and right now we are hopeful to transport a total of 56.

25 will be puppies. l mom and her babies (this is her picture). And the rest young adults.

We went to Arkansas on October 16 and pulled 95 from a hoarder. We along with a Chicago group took over 300 from this place.  Most was under weight, sick, many in season and several pregnant.

I brought the 95 to my indoor transport facility. Where we have been giving them the needed TLC. We have been transporting each week some of them.

This Thursday we will transport 56 to spay/neuter clinic and then we will get them on each transport north.

We will take pictures this Sunday of the transport as we unload these precious babies.

Thank you all for your continued support to Dave and me. Without your support we could not help these precious lives.


This mom and her 6 babies are really precious. As you can see they are all healthy and playful. Mom is pretty special to have kept them all alive. They were dumped by the river.  Thank God someone found them.

Puppy Transports

Connie and Dave Guthrie have a full time, unpaid job - saving the unwanted puppies of Oklahoma, Arkansas and Missouri.

Their strategy is simple, but very time consuming.  They drive around to kill shelters and pick the babies up (along with their moms) and take them home.  Other rescues collect unwanted puppies and drop them off at Connie's to give them a chance at life.

When Connie and Dave have a big batch of them (40 or 50 or more), they pop them into their big van and drive them North to Chicago or Minneapolis to no-kill shelters that adopt them out.

Connie has a big load of puppies to save almost every week.

SilverBell

Could you please chip in a little to help SilverBell?

Here's an email from our friends at St Cloud's Rescue:

"For those of you who don't know SilverBell, was at a kill shelter.  She came in with a hole in her paw.  They did not seek any vet care for her while she was on hold.   St. Cloud's Rescue pulled her and immediately took her to the vet.  Her temperature was 105.5 and she was one sick pup.  We had to wait 10 days for her to get well enough to have surgery.   We were very lucky she only had to have a toe amputated.  She is just skin and bones!"


With over 45 Saints in the rescue now, however, Rosie really needs our help.

Please chip in and help raise $250 for her medical bills.

Your help can save her live!

All donations go directly from Paypal to St. Cloud's Rescue, a 501(c)(3) charity, and are tax-deductible. Please chip in - together we can save these two and many more!

If you are interested in adopting, please contact St. Cloud's at http://stcloudsrescue.org/

Willow and Ivy

Willow and Ivy lived on a ranch where they were supposed to workers.  Unfortunately, they got into the very bad habit of eating eggs.  Fine in a suburb but not acceptable on a ranch.

Their tough-minded owner decided to take direct approach to the problem by shooting the two girls.  Luckily, a neighbor of hers was a dog lover, who grabbed them before they could be shot.

The neighbor couldn't keep them and appealed to our friends from Great Pyrenees Rescue of Houston to take them.

GPRS Houston needs our help to save these two.  Please help if you can!

With our sponsorship, Great Pyrenees Rescue Society of Houston will get them vetted and put them in a loving foster home (where they will be fed plenty of eggs) while they look for a good permanent home for her.

Our sponsorship money will go toward vet bills and other costs of fostering them until a permanent home can be found.

Carly

Could you please help save Carly?

My name’s Carly, and I was walking the streets of Coweta County, GA, begging for food and water,  looking for any decent shelter. Then someone found me and took me in.  But just when I thought I was safe they broke my heart again and dumped me at the kill shelter.

You see, the vet told them that I tested positive for Heartworms and that the treatment would cost a lot of money – money they didn’t have. So there I sat, with my life on the line, until at last my true angels came along. With the agreement of you wonderful people at the Doomed Dogs Rescue Club to provide money for sponsorship, Linda Palermo and her group, TenderHeart Rescue, saved my life.  Can you help them get me back on my feet and get the treatment I need? Even a $1 makes a difference to me. I Pyrsonally thank you for helping me and this wonderful rescue!

Cooper

Please see the plea below from our friends at Caring Hearts Rescue:



Cooper is in big trouble. Cooper is a young 4 year old Poodle!  We rescued him from the Shelter and sadly he is peeing blood!!! We rushed him in for a urinalysis and x-rays and it turns out this sweetie has Bladder Stones!! Since there is a lot of blood, we're hoping to have him into surgery ASAP!!!  The cost we're hoping to raise for the Bladder Stone surgery is $800.00.  

Please, help this sweetie!!! He's just full of love and kisses!  He is in Pain!! Your donation is tax deductable!! Thank you!!

Polly

This poor girl is Polly.  She has some terrible problems with her legs - see the videos here:

http://youtu.be/7A97OjE7Jbs

http://youtu.be/ypQy7-5Ii-I

http://youtu.be/B1tw78Nrs6k

It is very painful for her to walk.  She needs bilateral luxating patella surgery - very expensive!  With the surgery, she should be as good as new and walk without pain.

Please help cure this poor girl!

When our friends from Great Pyrenees Rescue of Houston agreed to take her, they knew that this was going to be an expensive rescue.  Of course, no one will adopt this sweetie until she gets fixed up.

GPRS Houston needs help with this one.  We have agreed to sponsor part of the cost of Polly's surgery.  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.

Tabitha

Could you chip in $5 to help save this doomed momma and baby?

After a tough career as a breeding machine, Tabitha ended up as an inmate in a Texas kill shelter, together with her baby daughter, Sabrina.  Tabitha and Sabrina have been  horribly neglected - starved and just covered in ticks and fleas.  Not sure yet, but they also likely have heartworms.

Lucky for Tabitha and Sabrina, rescue angels Rosie and Gisela of St Clouds are always there for Saints in need.   With over 45 Saints in the rescue now, however, Rosie really needs our help to be able to afford to take on two more big dogs to vet and feed.

That's what our Club is for, so we have agreed to help sponsor the rescue of these two girls.

Please chip in and help raise $250 for them using the ChipIn.

Your help can save their lives!

Beckham

Please give $5 to help save poor Beckham!

Sweet Beckham was found wandering the streets in Harris County.  He ended up in a kill shelter that gives 3 days and then, rescue or dead.

He is in such bad shape that his only possible hope was for a rescue to take him before the shelter put him to sleep.  With a  horrible case of mange, he was not an attractive candidate for a rescue to take him.

Great Pyrenees Rescue of Houston  needs help with this one.  We have agreed to sponsor him to enable them to save him and give him the care he needs.  Please help if you can!

With our sponsorship, Great Pyrenees Rescue Society of Houston will get him vetted, get medicine for his mange and put him 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 him until a permanent home can be found.

Billy

Could you give $5 to help save Billy?

The Doomed Dogs Rescue Club exists to provide a little financial assistance to cash-strapped rescues so they can take dogs out of danger and find them good homes.

We were contacted by Ellen Moore at Fireside Rescue.  This beautiful Great Pyrenees got into a bad situation.  He was in a kill shelter in Mississippi and due to die shortly.

Ellen was given just a couple of days to step in and take Billy before he was killed.  Ellen needed a sponsor to be able to take him, so she asked us for help.  A little bit of money from some of us can save Billy's life.

Our money will go toward the costs of vetting him and feeding him until a good home is found.

Please help!

Fireside Animal Rescue is not a 501(c)(3), so donations are not tax deductible.

Daisy

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.

Transport to Save 26 Puppies!

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!

Great Pyrenees Cruelty Cases

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

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.

Garland

Could you chip in $5 to help save this doomed boy?



Gisela emailed and said that Garland is in a high kill gas shelter.  St. Cloud's would like to take him, but they just don't have the money to do so.  Gisela asked for our help.  How could we refuse?

Rosie and Gisela at St. Cloud’s need our help to save this big boy.

Please chip in and help raise $250 for him using the ChipIn.

Our donations will pay to pull him, vet him and get him ready to go a good family.  Your help can save his life!

Oklahoma Disaster

Hi Michael and Friends:

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

Bambi

Our friends at Great Pyrenees Rescue of Houston need our help.  Here is an email from them:

Could you sponsor her please? 

Thanks,

Oklahoma Emergency!

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.

Greta

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?
