Let the witch hunt begin (which is ironic given this troll's email address.)!

To be very clear, we have never sent one of our dogs to Miranda's Rescue. We considered it for Cheyanne (before all this) as we have been looking for a new foster home for her for a very long time, but she is still with our rescue.

We have rescued a number of dogs with neurological issues over the years. The adult dogs usually go on to live a full life with proper treatment. The puppies, however, rarely survive.

Dot's Story

We pulled Dot from the Silicon Valley Animal Shelter 6 months ago. At the time, she was a 3-month old Pomeranian puppy with mobility issues in her back legs. We treated her for IVDD and got her walking fairly normal again, then we put her up for adoption. She was quickly adopted about 3 months ago. During those 3 months she had a couple reoccurrences of IVDD. The first one she recovered again, but after the second episode, the family's vet recommended euthanasia. We offered to take her back and continue treating her. That was about 3 weeks ago. We began treatment for IVDD again, but this time she wasn't making any progress, and there were other symptoms emerging. We took her to a couple of different ER Vets in the last couple days, and were in the process of trying to schedule a neurological consultation. Sadly, she crossed over the rainbow bridge during the night in her foster home. Our hypothesis is that she may have had an aggressive type of spinal degenerative disease that may have eventually affected her breathing, leading to her passing.

She touched a lot of hearts during her brief 9-month life. She will be sorely missed.

The San Jose shelter reached out to us about a medical rescue. We were told she was a Cane Corso 10 month old female puppy that the shelter named Alice. It was believed that she was hit by a car and suffered from a fractured femur. We posted about her on a Castro Valley community FB page, looking for someone local who could foster her. No one came forward, but a volunteer at the shelter found someone in the San Jose area to foster her, and we were able to rescue her.

We set up a consultation appointment with an orthopedic specialist to assess her injuries and propose a treatment plan. We learned that it was highly unlikely that the fracture was the result of major trauma as being hit by a car. Instead, it was probably spontaneous fracture caused by poor bone integrity that can happen in young large breed dogs with poor breeding. We also were told that she has some pretty significant bilateral hip dysplasia (again from irresponsible backyard breeding). The fracture can be fixed. The hip dysplasia will likely need to be addressed with hip replacement surgery(s), later on down the road (at least until she is full grown (around age 2). All of this isn't necessarily beyond our capabilities, and there is a possibility that we may be able to get some of the surgical stuff at no cost.

HOWEVER, here is the real challenge: the chances of her getting adopted are likely to be ZERO percent. Most our the very infrequent adoptions we have had the last few months/years have been foster families keeping the dog after caring for it for many weeks/months. The current foster family for Alice has made it clear that they are NOT able to keep her permanently. We are strongly considering forgoing any of the surgical interventions and instead euthanizing her (keep in mind that the only reason we pulled her is because all other rescue groups that the shelter reached out to declined). We were her last hope, and now we are headed towards failing her. We have occasionally euthanized dogs/puppies we've pulled due to incurable neurological issues that were torturing the dog, but it breaks our hearts and spirits to have to euthanize a dog just because no one else feels she is worth saving.

The family fostering Duke and Ellie decided they couldn't bear to part with them. Both dogs were found together as strays and brought to the Turlock Shelter. Ellie had wounds from a recent attack assumed to be from a larger dog. The shelter called us to attend to Ellie's wounds, and since it was obvious that the 2 dogs were bonded (and likely related), we had to take both of them in hopes of finding a home where they could stay together . . . and we were successful! Thank you Sherry and Kevin for understanding bonded pairs and helping keep them together in their now forever home.

Due to a close relationship we have with a couple of the shelters who were involved with Miranda’s, we got an early tip, and shared the story when it was just a couple local news outlets in Humboldt County covering it. We explained how we helped sponsor a shelter dog years ago to transfer to this rescue, and more recently that we reached out to Miranda’s about taking one of our foster dogs that the foster family no longer wanted to foster (Miranda’s never responded to our email).

What we didn’t do is pass judgement on the situation, or try to villainize Shannon Miranda. We have been struggling the last few months with overwhelming knowledge that there are tons of dogs in shelters with no options, and the situation is getting worse every day. We get multiple emails and voicemails each day from shelters and the public asking for help with dogs that are scheduled to be euthanized or that people need to get rid of. Our adoptions of dogs has all but dried up, finding foster homes is impossible. We try to keep a positive outlook, but inside, we are dying.

The Miranda situation is very sad, but they aren’t the villains, they aren’t the problem. They are simply a symptom of the current situation. This article by Bay Woof gets it right, unfortunately, no one really knows what the solution is. 😢

The Silicon Valley Animal Control Authority shelter reached out to us about saving Zaza (a 2 year old). She was brought to the shelter after exiting a moving vehicle (was she pushed? did she jump? unclear). The vehicle kept going, while a Good Samaritan rescued the dog and took it to the shelter. Contrary to how she gets around in the attached video link, she has a fractured hip and maybe an ACL tear, both will require surgery. She seems sweet and okay with other dogs.

We would need to have a foster for her, before we can pull her and address her injuries. She will need to be on strict cage rest for weeks while healing. Please reach out to us if you are interested in fostering her.

These pups need foster homes:

Petunia - English Bulldog, 4 yrs old, 45 lbs, probably better if she is the only dog.

Flash - Terrier / Chihuahua mix, okay with cats, 6 yrs old, 16 lbs. Loves walks, getting attention from people, probably better if he is the only dog.

Timmy (hospice) - Terrier mix, heart disease, 12+ years old, 13 lbs. sleeps a lot, does his own thing.

Foster application: https://www.emailmeform.com/builder/form/C0D7c6QSR85J4G9eef

We provide all the supplies and vet care.

* * * UPDATE! Another rescue organization (Doggie Protective Services) was able to pull him this afternoon * * *

This is Dante. He is an 8 month old puppy. He came to the shelter already neutered and with a microchip. The microchip was traced back to a shelter in another city, but not registered. This other shelter didn't adopt the dog out. The microchip was probably part a community outreach program for free microchipping, but the owner never completed the registration.

As you can see from the video, Dante is a very playful, friendly pup that loves everybody. He gets along with other dogs and did great during his vet check. However, all of these great qualities aren't enough to keep him from being euthanized. The shelter won't put him up for adoption. He is "rescue only." No other rescue group is willing to save him, which is why we have been contacted. We can't save him unless someone comes forward to foster him.

* * * * If anyone is interested in knowing why he needs rescue and can't be adopted out by the shelter, feel free to send us a direct message. * * * *

He would do great in a foster home that has other playful friendly dogs to help drain some of his puppy energy.
