Abby
Abby, a purebred Boxer, needed our help & we came through for her, now we need your help.  Dumped in the shelter in a horrible part of San Diego, we rushed to save Abby & her newborn babies (Boxer Babies listed below) from euthanasia.  Abby loved her babies but was only able to take care of them for a very short time.  Abby has a very bad leg & x-rays show what a horrible life this lovely lady must have had.  Her femur head is shattered & her knee has been crushed, and both injuries have healed horrendously.  She also has a gun pellet lodged in her abdomen.  Abby will have to have her leg amputated if she is to have a life free of misery & pain. In spite of her pain, she is one of the most loving & forgiving dogs we have ever met.
 Her surgery is scheduled for November 19th & we really need your help.
Estimated cost of surgery is $1800
Raised to date:  $1105

November 19th
Abby had her surgery & is doing well.  She is in the hospital, getting the
best care possible.  If all goes well, she may get to come home tomorrow evening, where
she will feel a bit more relaxed & comfortable
November 21st
Abby is home & resting. 
She is moving around OK, but is content to stay in her crate on her comfy bed.
We are hoping in a few weeks, this will all be a distant memory for her.

Olympic Champs!

Born on August 5th to a drop-dead-gorgeous-sweet-as-sugar
Chow mix mommy, these are winning pups!  All seem to have
inherited the laidback, easygoing temperament of the
mommy dog (who we call bomb-proof).  These pups have
been in a foster home with 3 kids since they were newborns,
so they are extremely well-socialized & friendly.

Paul



 

 

George & Paul

Arrived August 7th

These babies ended up in the shelter with an extremely emaciated
mommy who was no longer able to take care of them.  The babies
were basically taking everything they needed from her & leaving
her with nothing.  Mommy was a lovely, petite German Shepherd
mix & we have no clue about daddy. 
 They are precious little
puppies & unless they have some amazing growth spurt, they
aren't going to be very big dogs at all.........probably in the
60+ pound range.  We are guessing they were born
around July 7th.
 

These babies are in Norco

Well, it looks like Daddy was a Terrier of some sort & his
DNA must have been pretty strong, because none of these
babies look like Chihuahua's.

family lost their home.  Daddy to her babies was an even

Snowball

Arrived October 30th

This lovely Spaniel mix mommy & her 3 beautiful daughters are lucky

are fat fluffy little girls who we are guessing were born around
October 15th.
