MATCH Marin Animal Transport to Caring Homes Tragically, the difference between life and death for a dog or a cat in the shelter system is minutes.

Oftentimes, they just need a soft spot to land for a day or two while fosters are lined up or other rescues are brought on to help. Our mission is to help give them the day or two they need to find placement and not end up in the back room when their time runs out. We are foster based and rely on our fosters and support base to help support short and long term placement of these animals. For long term animals in our program, we adopt them out directly!

Update on Momma Gwendolina and baby Rex, the front pawless pup. I see them almost daily as they are now the ambassadors at Novato Vet Hospital. They’ve been adopted by Dr DiMaio and are living their best lives. Once Rex stops growing, we may address his handicap with prosthetics, but for now he gets around very well.

Every rescuer knows the feeling. That moment when a foster finally has a “good p**p”. It’s not glamorous nor is it fun. Quite the opposite. Simba has an existing adopter and kids waiting on him. But he needs to be cure of ringer and more importantly, his GI issues. After multiple animas and trips to the ER to clear him out, we still haven’t gotten a firm handle on his p**p. But he has improved and is just the sweetest boy that loves attention, despite his stinking.

4 days ago this sweet lil guy was sitting in a cold shelter cage with infected and abcess riddled lymphnodes. His face was swollen with pus filled sores. He was lateral, lethargic and not eating. He was going to be euthanized on the 11th
Today he is watching the Big 10 championship snug in bed and healing nicely. This is what fostering and rescue is about.

Little Stanley is a 6 week old malti-poo. He was dumped at the Fresno shelter, likely by a greedy breeder, because he had developed an auto immune disorder called “puppy strangles”. They develop painful facial and lymph swelling and skin lesions on the muzzle and eyes. Due to his painful and potentially lethal situation, he was given two days to live, before he would be euthanized. Typically, if caught early, it’s a pretty easy fix. But since his lymph nodes are massively inflamed and have developed abscesses that now have burst (4 so far) he is at serious risk of sepsis. He is on antibiotics and prednisone for a week and close observation. Stanley was flown here from Fresno by a kind team of rescuers and we are working with Dr DiMaio and Dr Kumar to give him the best chance. Thankfully he is eating and drinking well and his energy seems to have improved. Stanley could use some well wishes on his recovery
