🩺💉 HOSPITAL DAY 🩺💉

🐶 MAVIS | 10yrs
🩻 Mavis is having x-rays of both front legs & shoulders. We're looking for boney changes or any hints as to why she's begun holding her little leg up regularly.

🐶 DOLLY | 13yrs
She has quite a list! I'll abbreviate it to make things easier to read!
This list is to get her ready for the rest of her vetwork in the near future, desexing etc.
🩸 Comprehensive blood and urine testing.
🩹 Heartworm test
🩸 Full health exam
🩹 Aspirate or biopsy of squishy lump on her neck. And check for mammary masses.
💊 Her eyes. Dolly suffers from terrible dry eye and is under treatment already but we've asked for further checks - such as looking for scarring or errant eyelashes.
💊 Her skin. Clearly medicated washes aren't enough, they are just holding things at bay. Once the blood/urine panel results are in, her vets will know what medications we can add to her treatment plan.

🥰 Best of luck ladies! Be good for our wonderful vets.

🙏🙏🙏 Please help chip in if you can. 🙏🙏🙏

🐾🐾🐾🐾 MEET RUSTY 🐾🐾🐾🐾

🐾 Our funny boy, powered by good food and sunshine, Rusty just makes you laugh with his antics.

🐾 Yep, that's a harelip. It doesn't affect him and any corrective surgery would just be cosmetic. So we've kept his unique smile and we're certain somebody will fall in love with that gorgeous face.

🐾 He's up on Savourlife now. Please follow the link for more information.

🌿🌿🌿 WELCOME DOLLY 🌿🌿🌿

🍀 Our Duty Of Care; Mini Foxy cross Silky girl becomes officially ours today and it's time to introduce her.

😢 What a mess. Normally I'd completely leave out our intake record photos and focus on a brighter future. Some are featured here. Tousled hair dried after a medicated bath and half napping on her heat pad as the whole process tired her out.

😠 So instead of glossing over the cold hard facts in favour of a happier story, it has to be said - DOLLY DESERVED BETTER!
She needed a better home! Someone to love her.
Or somebody to step in when they saw the neglect!
Anything that would have saved her from suffering.

😠 Now she is 13 years old, weak, underweight, has dreadful skin, bad teeth, is un-desexed, has dry eye, elephant skin on her tail and rump, lumps & bumps, black crust around her ears and has clearly produced lots of litters in her life. 😠 💲💲💲

😢 I've been working under vet advice for the last week since she arrived. Beginning a long path of undoing the years of zero care.
Getting started on her sore and greasy skin with topical treatments & washes and clipping away what was left of her scrappy stringy coat which was just sticking to her skin. Getting started on her weight with a premium diet and supplements such as probiotics, joint support and bone broth. And clearing a nasty secondary eye infection caused by her awful dry eye.

🌿 Dolly is clearly a fighter. 🌿 She's the sweetest soul. 🌿 Please send your love and wishes. 🌿

😘 p.s. Dolly says thank you to her transporter Jess.

🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈 FAREWELL WAGGS 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈

🌈 It is with great sadness that we bring you the news of Waggs' passing just shy of his 17th Birthday.

🌈 He came into care after he was found wandering, his coat matted and totally blind, ending up in a rural pound where his owners never came for him.

🌈 By March 2022 he had found his forever home, where he would be loved and taken care of for all of his days. Having the pick of beds scattered through out the house and mapping this new home out so he knew how to navigate with no vision.

🌈 Waggs would bark excitedly when he was ready for breakfast and dinner.
And on beautiful days, Waggs sometimes liked to sun-bake in a flower pot. ❤

🌈 Waggs was a contented, happy and relaxed boy.

🌈 His beautiful forever family took Waggs on knowing he was a senior and had no vision. This only made them want him even more. So for the last 3.5yrs he was given an old age where he wanted for nothing.

🌈 Sadly Waggs' health deteriorated as his age caught up with him, just shy of his 17th birthday. Waggs was lovingly held as he crossed the Rainbow Bridge.

🌈 Waggs' family are missing their boy and we just want to thank them for giving Waggs the dream family and life for every single day they loved him.

❤❤❤ Sending all our love to Pete, Lee and Waggs' buddy Fred ❤❤❤

🥰🥰🥰 BRAND NEW NAME, BRAND NEW LIFE 🥰🥰🥰

🌺 Sending congratulations to Herb ❤ NOW DOUGIE ❤

🌺 All reports are that this boy is loved beyond measure.
He's moved out of the crowded city and into the lovely country air. He has a yard big enough to do a marathon in and so many beds inside that he gets to choose where he'd like to relax.

🌺 Although, laps are definitely his preference! Being the only child of the family, there's infinite time for cuddles.

🌺 He's been running around with his dozens of toys, playing with his new Mum and Dad. And in general, being a funny little snuggle bug.

🥰🥰🥰🥰 Well done Dougie, two more hearts have been won. 🥰🥰🥰🥰

⭐⚡✨ WELCOME ELISE ⭐⚡✨

✨ New Shih Tzu girl Elise has arrived and has had a her spa day.

✨ She's just a baby really, only 2ys old and doesn't know much except how to sit (when she wants to).

✨ Elise arrived at the pound shelter, suffering terrible flea allergy and grooming her has been a challenge to say the least.

✨ She's a little spicy and a bit of a diva. It was like she'd never had a spa day in her life and I've been given a zero stars review.

✨ Stay tuned for more Elise. Her rescue adventure has just begun.

✨✨✨ APRIL to JUNE FUNDRAISER WRAPS UP! ✨✨✨

✨ As the emails, messages and posts of support arrived.
And as the tally was going up and up.
Tears sprung from my eyes.
It's a privilege to know such kind and selfless humans.

✨ I also very much appreciate you all listening when I opened my heart.
At the time, I was worried about broaching the topics of exhaustion and funding. But sometimes you have to be brutally honest and that's exactly where I was at.
I wasn't feeling the usual hope and optimism that's for sure.

✨ So there's really only a limited amount of words to describe the feeling of being free to keep on going. And to actually get some sleep at night. It's like a weight has been lifted.

✨ Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Extra thanks from the team. And most thanks of all, from the SSR dogs.
