🐾 Foster Mutt Daisy 🌼 UPDATE 🐾

Sweet Daisy is enjoying the quiet life these days. At her age, she’s perfectly content to spend her time lounging, snacking, and soaking up the calm.

There may not be big adventures to share, but sometimes the beauty is in the simple moments.....just an old soul enjoying living a good life in the comfort of a loving home. 💛

She has a Vet appt recheck next month to see how things are looking to possibly get a much needed dental. 😁

🖤🐻 Kodiak Cub 🐻🖤 UPDATE!

He is doing great this morning!!! He peed, he pooped, he ate, got all his meds in and is wanting to play.... being much more like a puppy.

He was getting restless last night before bed. So I gave him a little bit of Gabapentin and Trazadone.
He woke up a couple times during the night. But it was more because he was alone and in the crate.
He whined and cried for maybe a minute or so and then settled down. He has a little Heartbeat stuffie to sleep with and he actually slept great.

Some people have commented, asking.... why we had is his leg amputated. Well, his little leg was so broken....where and how it was broken it was not getting any blood flow. Also his growth plate was fractured. That leg would never be normal and would always be a source of pain.

Over the past 10 years, it has been our experience that the times we try to save the leg, it ends up worse and we end up having to remove it later anyways. So.. with 3 separate vets recommending amputation, and our experience with this type of thing in the past, that's what we did!

He's going to be just fine and being so young he will never know any different. We have Fostered many tripods and they don't even know they're missing a limb.

Now the challenging part.... that this little cub is feeling that so much better, will be keeping him chill for the next 2 weeks! 😄

We have a couple of amazing potential fosters and are working through those applications. For now he's with me, Teresa .

A HUGE thank you to all who have donated. This was a huge undertaking.
We still have a ways to go to meet our goal....I don't know the exact number, but our treasurer Michelle is working on numbers.
Without the support of our community , we would not be able to help him. From the bottom of our hearts , thank you so much!!

And a massive thank you to the amazing staff at Animal Hospital of Ludington. ❤️‍🩹

Even $5 helps. Doesn’t seem like much to some…..but we know if 100 of our followers throw in just $5 it really starts to add up quickly.

Looking at a big total, such as our vet bill for yesterday is overwhelming(it just is).
But we helped 6 animals.
Some with minor issues, one with a major surgery.

Another trip to the vet today, this time to get this litter of sick kittens from Mason County Animal Control , checked out.

Levi, Lenny, Lewis and Lincoln

They were living outside somewhere and brought in to A.C. last week, along with their Mom. All of kittens have runny eyes, are sneezing and overall feeling icky. Thankfully Mom (named Margurita) is fine.💞

We got them all oral meds, eye meds, dewormed and a dose of topical Flea & Tick (they have earmites also)

Lenny has a grade 1 heart murmur, but that may correct itself as he grows and he did have some crackling in his left lung. So an extra close eye needs to be kept on him. ❤️‍🩹

They will be rechecked in 10 days and then as long as they are all healthy they can be neutered. 🙌Hopefully they will be feeling better in no time!

Today's bill for them came to $264.61

He slept all night, not even making a peep. But was tiny tail wags, when waking up this morning.

Got little Kodiak Cub 🐻🖤 to the Vet earlier. And after much discussion.... we are going ahead with leg amputation..... today!

Where the femur is broken the leg is not getting the blow flow needed and along with the fracture of the growth plate it's not going to grow properly and will always be a source of pain, so in his best interest for his future and quality of life we are removing it.

WE NEED YOUR HELP!!

This surgery could cost a min of of $2,500 and a maximum of $3,500. If you would like to donate here's a few ways you can.

And as ALWAYS....... Thank YOU! 💞

Sometimes rescue is cute puppies……
But the reality is, it is also costly and can be consuming of your energy and all of your resources.

Meet……Kodiak 🐻 🖤 our newest Foster Mutt.
A 6-8 week old puppy found in Lake County all alone, alongside the road with an obvious broken rear leg. Their animal control officer got him to the vet a few days ago when he was first found. X-rays show left rear limb avulsion of the head of femur and distal growth plate fracture. 😥

With a lack of resources in their county, we were contacted to see if we could help, as this will be a costly situation. I had Officer Marion bring him to me, I'll care for him while we continue to look for a foster. He has another vet appointment tomorrow to have our Vet look at him for another opinion.

We are looking at either major orthopedic surgery or leg amputation for this little 6lb baby boy. 😟
DNA 🧬 test pending as we had 1 left and its helpful sometimes knowing a dogs breed and how big they may get.

PLEASE keep our little friend Kodiak 🐻🖤 in your thoughts. And if you are able to help donate towards his medical care it would be hugely appreciated. If you could foster, contact us directly.

Thank you!! 🖤

Willow UPDATE!

Though she wasn't a foster...she IS a friend I spent time with while volunteering at Mason County Animal Control a few months ago.

She was found at Victory Park and never claimed by her people, so became available for adoption.

Her new family absolutely LOVES her. And her mom sends me updates on her. She is doing FANTASTIC and they love her so much. 💞

I'm so happy that by my taking pictures and videos while volunteering and making posts, it can help animals find their forever homes. Also why SHARING POSTS IS SO IMPORTANT. And I love it when they send updates. 🐾🖤
