Rescue Notes:

14 Year Old Cat Left Homeless

Elwood - 14 year old cat given up by owner


Thank you to all of you who responded to the email about Elwood! We are so grateful for the many responses from wonderful people offering to open up their hearts and homes to this little girl. We can't tell you how very touched we are by so many concerned people!

Elwood is still in our care until she has run the course of antibiotics. We will then take her back to our vet to check on her kidney values. Hopefully this was just an infection and not the onset of kidney failure. In the meantime she is getting lots of attention and affection - as well as being hydrated with subcutaneous fluids daily. After we learn the results of her bloodwork we will be much more aware of how much maintenance is required to keep her healthy and happy.

One more thing that we have learned about Elwood is that she does not like other cats. This little one is actually agressive with my five other cats who are just about three times her size! It would be in Elwood's best interest (as well as other cats!) to live in a single cat household.


  There is another sad situation that we hope you don't mind us mentioning:
  Arnie and Amos are two very handsome brothers that were brought to a shelter when they were a year old. This shelter is run by a collector and does not advertise, so due to no fault of their own, they lived there until they were seven. We pulled them from that shelter last year and found them a wonderful home. Unfortunately, their human mother was diagnosed with terminal cancer six months later and they are once again homeless.  They are very depresed having lost the only home they ever had.

  They are approx. seven and a half years old, very healthy, neutered, and current on all shots.  Amos is very friendly, loving, and affectionate, while Andy is shy and mostly keeps at his brother's side.  If anyone is interested in giving these brothers a home, please let me know! I would also be very appreciative if this is forwarded as well!

  Please stay in touch and we will keep you posted on Elwood.

    Many, many thanks for your kindness,
    Deborah, Ellen, and Lisa

I saw this dog the other day.  He is MAGNIFICENT looking.  He seemed very very sweet, you could see it in his eyes.  But he whimpered and then growled slightly when people came too close.  I'm no expert but he didn't seem to be to be aggressive at all, just terrified.  HE IS A BABY, by the way, quite young.  THIS DOG IS WORTH SAVING!!!

Maria (a lady who rescues strays) asked me to pass this along. Elsa is the retriever who was found abandoned at the Silver Lake dog park last week with blood and discharge coming from her vaginal area. Maria got her to the vet, where she now has a bill of several hundred dollars for Elsa's care.


In a message dated 7/13/04 7:28:47 PM, Mariafiji@cs.com writes:


My vet thinks that Elsa was molested. Her vagina was very hurt inside like a huge object or even penis had penetrated her. She has trouble trusting people now and gets anxious when someone approaches her, but the technician who is working with her says she is doing better. Only 3 people have called with donations, please try to help.

To contribute towards Elsa's care please call 323-256-0405.

A LESSON IN MEDIA ATTENTION!!

Wonderful news! No doubt thanks to all the attention brought to these dogs at our shelter, we had a banner adoption day yesterday (7/15) of these dogs!!! Thank you to everyone that forwarded emails and made this possible, it gave us some much needed space in our kennels.
 
ADOPTED 7/15 - A164076 "Snoopy" 2 year male purebred Beagle, total doll, mellow, non-barking in kennels. He can appear a bit aloof when he meets new people but he'll come trotting up to me in the yard with his tail wagging if he sees me now.

ADOPTED 7/15 - A137935 is "Grizzly" is a small (35 lb) Boxer and Shepherd mix who was living in a household with small children that she adored, she is housebroken too! She will bark if left outside alone all night (which is what her owners were doing), but is trained and very well behaved inside. She loves to play! 1.5 years old.

ADOPTED 7/15 - A164314 "Jenny" 2 year female terrier mix, busy little girl, lots of energy, loved to play and cuddle with volunteers, friendly toward adults, children and other dogs that visited her on the mobile adoption unit.

MUCH LOVE RESCUE WILL TAKE IF NOT ADOPTED THIS WEEK -  A164465 "Aldo" 2 year male Chihuahua, chocolate colored, a little on the shy side.

ON AN ADOPTION HOLD AS OF 7/16 - A164215 "Lisa" 7 year old Dachshund mix, an absolute little angel of a dog!
 
STILL AVAILABLE:
A161191 is "Zisco" 3 year black Lab mix, neutered male, sweet, good on leash, was very playful/rough with large female dog in soc, jumping on her, but not aggressive. Has an old injury to his back leg that makes him sometime hold it up when he stands, does not effect movement and would require no treatment. Here since MAY 26th.

A161948 is "Brownie" a 3 year old female Pit Bull mix who has been here since JUNE 4th - she went out on the mobile unit and was sweet, quiet,gentle and very affectionate, lovely dog with very good manners, was patient and sweet with all the other dogs around her.

A161955 "Leila" 7 year old spayed female white Husky mix, very, very nice dog, mellow, been here since JUNE 4th.

RE: THE TWO PUPS FOUND WANDERING  CALIFORNIA'S STREETS

WE ARE DESPERATELY LOOKING FOR A FOSTER SITUATION  OR ADOPTION FOR THESE TWO PUPPIES, SO THAT THEY CAN STILL BE TOGETHER.
 
THEY HAVE BEEN THROUGH SO MUCH--ROAMING THE STREETS, HUNGRY, WITH NO ONE TO LOVE THEM, AND NOW SEPERATED FROM EACH OTHER IN THE SHELTER.
 
IF ANYONE CAN REACH DEEP DOWN INTO THEIR HEARTS AND GIVE THEM A PERMANENT LOVING HOME OR CAN FOSTER THEM UNTIL WE CAN FIND THEM A FOREVER LOVING HOME, PLEASE CONTACT ME.

Correspondents and Liaisons Needed!

There are a myriad of positions available for many different agencies throughout the U.S. There is a great need for shelter workers and volunteers, liaisons, political activists, campaigners, publicists and press people, photographers, correspondents and, yes, transporters!

Most of these positions are not, in and of themselves, demanding. Of course, if you care about animals they can become very time consuming efforts, indeed, and we appreciate the vast and varied talents of those who are doing this work -- many out of the kindness of their hearts.

If you are interested in volunteering for this effort or others, we invite you to write us and let us know what you'd like to do, how often and how you like to work. We're sure to be able to find a match for you!

We thank God for each and every one of you who care enough to confront almost insurmountable odds to do everything you can to change this travesty in our world, often facing your own  humanity to do so, and putting your own emotions on the line to care for the voiceless among us: GODSPEED to each and every one...
