DO NOT CALL ABOUT THIS DOG. EMAIL ONLY.

This little girl just about had her life taken from her several times now. She was picked up by Animal Control before being hit by a car. Her owners did not come for her. They kept her a long as possible, then on the day she was to be euthanized, our rescue saved her life with no time to spare. Less than 24 hours after we took her in, she was lifeless. Took her into the Vet and she tested positive for parvo. She was hospitalized on IVs for 4 days. Vet said she was fine, and come get her. 12 hours later, she was down again, lifeless. She ended up spending over another week on IVs, to save her yet again. All this in a few short months of her life. Just a baby, and her life has been on the line so many times.

Now she has been back into foster care, 100% fine. She's now spayed, vaccinated and wormed. She is a little timid, but once you have her in your arms, she doesn't want you to let go. Poor girl just doesn't know what to expect anymore and confused. She doesn't have a mean or snippy bone in her body. And she's ALIVE!

Now she needs your help in saving her life yet one last time by finding her a fur-ever family. She's looking for a loving family with a warm bed. She is an indoor dog and learning to use pee pads. With what she's been through and this weather, the foster mom has not worked on getting her potty outdoors yet.

Small dog adoption fees "average $100-200".  Mastiff adoption fee is $350 (unless otherwise listed).  Our Adoption fees are kept as low as possible. The fees are used to pay the vet  expenses. All dogs are up to date on shots, heartworm tested, spayed or neutered, wormed, flea preventative applied and any known problems are treated before they can be adopted. Each year our vet bills are many thousands higher than our adoption fees, so we are not able to adopt dogs without an adoption fee. We have to rely highly on donations and sponsorships to stay afloat. If you can't adopt - please consider sponsoring a dog!  Cash, crates and dog food donations are always the greatest need.

Just in the first 2 months of 2010 we have taken in 3 puppies with parvo (average vetting to save a parvo puppy is $700 each).  2 eye removals ($400 each).  Cherry eye's repaired $250.  Have one needing TPLO surgery ($3000).  Etc. This is all above and beyond the cost of typical vetting.
