AMAZON Wish List

One of our supporters suggested that the Rescue have a wish list on Amazon. We took her advice and created one. Here is what we need right now. I will update our list as needed and post the link.

Bud is starting to show a sillier side. I catch him goofing around over the back of his shelter with Goober (who has always been goofy).

Tonight when I was coming to Bud's pen to give him supper, he had managed to turn his fly mask sideways on his head. He just stood there like a doof, lol.

DOGGIE Adoption Announcement!!

Brody has found his FUREVER home!

Rosco's Rescue Ranch accepted Brody and Benny as owner surrenders in July 2023. We placed them in a wonderful foster home, while we searched for a furever home for them. Within the first month, Benny was adopted.

Several folks came to see Brody, but decided that he would not be a good fit for them.

Weeks turned into months. Brody settled into his foster home and became buddies with his foster "brother", Charlie (weiner dog) and foster "sister" Marley (lab). He also started to bond with his foster mom, and enjoyed sleeping on the bed with her.

Months turned to a year. Foster mom, Michele continued to keep Brody. The adoption leads stopped. By this time, Brody loved his foster mom, and she loved him too. Michele contacted me on July 3rd, the anniversary of when she took Brody and Benny to foster them. Michele decided that Brody had been in his furever home all along and said that she would adopt him.

Michele found Brody this cool neckerchief! Thank you so very much for being Brody's furever mom!

Way to win her heart, Brody! You are a special boy ☺️

Heat prep for Bronson:

Our followers will remember, that Bronson has Cushings Disease. Cushing effects the pituitary gland, which causes all kinds of issues. One of which is not being able to regulate body temperature, so they can over heat easily. Another is not shedding a winter coat or growing one in the wrong time of the year. Bronson has both of these symptoms.

I spent this morning clipping Bronson's fur off with scissors again (this is the second time, as Bronson regrew the fur I had clipped off before), to help keep him cooler in the extreme heat on the way. He will not tolerate clippers and sedating him when it is hot and humid is not safe, due to his tendacy to over heat. Bronson has a fan to stand infront of in his shelter, and I spritz him off with water as needed through the day, to help cool him off. He also gets electrolights.

Cushings is a challenging disease to manage. Even on medication, Bronson still has symptoms that need to be managed.

I am sharing this info, in hopes that it will help someone else who's horse has Cushings as well. It can be managed with extra effort when needed. Don't give up on them!

Bronson is a sweet boy and deserves the extra care he gets.

Foster update/Fender:

Fender had a farrier visit yesterday, to get trimmed and have his shoes reset. Our followers may remember that Fender has Navicular in both front legs, and has to have pads and shoes to relieve pain. This care plan has worked well and allows him to enjoy his pasture time with his barn friends.

Thanks to foster mom, Carma, for taking care of Fender. Also to Fender's sponsor, Kira, for making sure that the rescue can afford to give Fender the care he needs. We are blessed to have Carma and Kira as part of our rescue family. 😊

Rescue update on Bud:

Bud arrived from his foster home on June 15th. At the time of his arrival, he was approximately 250lbs under weight, due to his Cushings disease. I immediately started him on medication to get his Cushings under control and food that he could chew, since Bud's teeth are pretty much worn down to the gum line.

In just a few weeks, Bud has gained most of the weight he needed, but still has a bit to go in the back end. While still eager to eat, he has learned that he will get fed 3x a day, and is a gentleman when I come into his pen with his feed buckets. I pet and love on him every day, like I do the others. Bud enjoys the personal attention, and me tending to his special needs. Next up is meeting our farrier.

Stayed tuned for more updates on Bud...
