Kennedy Project: Mission Accomplished
Happy Thanksgiving! We are thankful for so many things today, but especially for all of you. Because of your concern and generosity, we surpassed our original fundraising goal for Kennedy in just a matter of days! Not only did we raise enough for his wheelchair and laser treatments/pain medications, he will be getting a much-needed dental/extractions and some paw protectors. We've said it before and we'll say it again -- we could not do this without you.
Kennedy’s Progress
Kennedy had the sixth laster treatment on Saturday. This is the final treatment of our "trial" period suggested by Dr. Smith, and we wanted to share an update ... not to mention these adorable photos. He has managed to woo every vet and vet tech he meets.
Eddie’s Successful Surgery
Our brave Eddie boy is back home at rescue and doing very well following his perineal hernia surgery last week … almost too well, in fact! He is his happy-go-luck self, ready to play and explore. Thank you for all of the support, prayers and donations.
Sell/Shop on eBay for Rescue
We are psyched to announce that we have been added to ebay's Giving Works program. This will not only give us a way to sell some of the donated items we receive for rescue but anyone who sells on ebay can help as well!
Eddie Needs Our Help
Here we go again ... We have another major medical issue with one of our rescues. We haven't fully and financially recovered from Ernie's snake-biting fiasco a few weeks ago. Now it's Eddie. We noticed his little bum was swollen the other day and took him to the vet. It’s a perineal hernia ... and he needs surgery immediately.
Ernie: The Mighty Snake Killer
If you follow our Facebook page, you already know this week was a bit of a stressful one for all of us … especially little Ernie. On Sunday night, Donna heard Ernie barking up a storm. He’s a laidback kind of guy, so she knew something was wrong. She walked up to discover a Copperhead had made its way into Ernie’s kennel, and they were both bowed up at one another. Yikes!

Sassy: A Tribute to Sweetness
For the second time within a month, we are left with a hole in our hearts. Our sweet little Sassy developed pneumonia and, within hours, left us for the Rainbow Bridge this morning. We are going to miss her like hell, but her silliness and bunny hops will always live on.
