Last push for Sunday can we raise the final $400??

11/22/2024

5$ Friday for Max and Steph

**Goal achieved thank you all so much**

Today I'm trying something a little different.

Something I can't do all the time but truly feel that once in a while we all need a little help and some times we get hammered with life in the worst ways and what it takes is someone to hold out their hand and Say "we got this".

MAX was adopted through sato when we were new. He was an owner surrender from a local acquaintance who ran into some hard times and had to move in with her mom. Max was quite young then. Just a year old.

Max was too big and couldn't join them. She wanted the best home for him.
I asked Steph to foster him and he ended up being a big fat foster fail lol
Steph has been a friend since I helped her with a special needs puppy back in 2017.

She has always been someone who is whole heartedly devoted to her dogs. I don't know many people who spend as much time with their dogs as she does. Her dogs are her kids. Her best pals. They mean the absolute world to her and she would sell everything she has to save them if it came down to it.

Just before Max joined Steph she lost her heart dog Nitro. He came in and filled a very empty sad place for Steph and shortly after she had to say goodbye to her other dog Skye.
Leaving Max as the only dog in her life for quite some time and he became her bestie.

I've watched this strong woman overcome so much in the last 8 years and she has fostered for sato saved many times. Some harder dogs and some really cute ones.
Recently she fostered Tarot who was a young Presa mix puppy. Steph fell in love with her and planned to foster to adopt her. She was finally in a position where she could have 2 dogs again.
Tarot sadly Contracted Leptospirosis before she could be fully vaccinated. Tarot passed away at not even 3 months old after all life saving attempts were made and she continued to decline we made the tough choice to put her down and end her suffering.
You all rallied for sweet Tarot and we were able to cover all her vet bills and get her ashes back to Steph. All our hearts were broken.

Now less then 3 months later Max has been randomly showing signs of illness and has been back and forth to the vet as well as emergency vets a handful of times and they can't seem to figure out what is wrong. He's had bloodwork and he's had xrays. He's been on 3 rounds of antibiotics and he's on stomach medication and steroids. He has decreased appetite and random bouts of drooling. He becomes exhausted easily and starts panting randomly but yet his vet exams show he is generally healthy and his bloodwork too.
Almost $5000 has been spent and really there is no improvement and now he's developing swelling under his neck and some other random issues. Poor Max. And poor Steph too.

After all these diagnostics his next step is a CT scan($2000) or if the funds aren't there at the very least an ultrasound ($800) so that there can be some answers/diagnosis done and hopefully Max can get on appropriate meds and live out a few more of his golden years.

Max is adopted and has been for 8 years but he's a sato dog and his mom is tapped. They need our help so that we can get some answers. If it's his time then we will be armed with the information to make the right choice.

Sato dogs are family for life. We always love them and their families too.

If he has something underlying that's been missed we will find it and treat it.

We are hoping to raise $2000 for Max today. If we can do it, it will alleviate a ton of stress of the financial burden of debt for his mom and hopefully get them some answers so they can move forward. Please donate if you can. And send some healing vibes for this good boy!

Emt can be sent to [email protected]

We appreciate every dollar and I know Steph would donate her coffee money for your pup too. 💗🐾

Goal $2000

Raised so far $2000

We did it max will have his Ct Tuesday 💗

Adoptable

Rufus, a Male
American bulldog mix (lab/retriever?)
Currently 12 weeks old
18lbs of adorable and pesky lol. Will be a large dog.

This cutie was transfered from our friends at TTK9. His jet black brother has already been adopted he was a foster fail. Rufus has been hanging out with one of our fosters and their dog and some kids. He's a really snuggly pup and will make a family really happy.

He's crate trained and learning to walk respectfully on leash. Hes well on his way to house broken! He's been camping and likes car rides. He's dog social and would do well in almost any environment as long as he got his walk or some playtime.

This good boy is ready now for adoption and is on the hunt for his Forever home

His adoption fee is $850 with a post adoption training commitment. We do offer local to Brant area training at a discount if signed up upon adoption, however any training in your area is okay too.
Rufus is fully vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. He will come with a full bag of his food, his collar and leash and a few of his favorite toys.

ADOPTABLE

Mac
Age: 16 Weeks
Breed: Akita x (smaller size)
Size: Medium / Large
Weight: 28 lbs

Adoption Fee: $850

Mac and his two siblings came to Sato Saved after they were found near a roadway in Brantford - one of the siblings was tragically hit and killed by a car.

They were taken to Hillside Animal Control and pulled quickly to the rescue so that they could decompress and start learning how to be puppies.

They were all close to emaciated when found but Mac never gained weight quite as well as his siblings Cleo and Hudson

After a few days of not being himself and vomiting we rushed Mac to the vet.
Mac was discovered to have a foreign body in his bowel after being in foster for 4 weeks and having regular consistent bowel movements the entire time. A corn cob that he had likely eaten while living outside prior to being rescued had made it's way into a portion of his bowel it would not pass through and he became very sick. It was completely black and gnarly. Thankful for the emergency vet staff who saved our boy. It was a scary night.

Mac recieved life saving surgery and has made a full recovery. He is a great little guy and so greatful to be alive - now it's time for him to find his Forever family

Here is what we know;

✔️ Good with kids
✔️ Good with dogs
✔️ Good with dog-savvy cats
✔️ Good with livestock
✔️ Rural or fenced yard
✔️ Akita experience preferred

Mac is 80% house trained and will tolerate a crate when needed. He had a long stretch of crate rest so he would prefer not to be in one. He is active and mischievous!

Before finalizing his adoption, he will be fully UTD on his vaccines, microchipped, and he will be neutered.

An adoption application needs to be emailed to us at [email protected], and the document can be found here;

All males

11/15/2024

**foster found**
She's safe and out of the shelter 🥰

With the interest rolling in for our newest baby xl bullies.. I am hoping we can save this sweet girl too who's no more then 1 year old from a shelter that's very full

I named her Cashmere.

She's a standard size American bully about 50lbs
I've kid tested her and she's fine with kids. She's super smart
She's got basic obedience and is crate trained
She pulls a bit on leash

She's not been tested with cats
She's okay with male dogs.
haven't tested her with female dogs.

Her ideal foster home won't have more then one other dog so we can let her decompress and get to know her personality
Fenced yard is required.
She needs to be spayed asap which we will do once we secure a foster home

I'd love to find a foster to adopt for her but a foster for 6-8 weeks will do too!

Must be within 1 hour from Brantford and able to drive.

Email [email protected] If you can help
Looking to get her into a home Tomorrow (Saturday) or Sunday

This month has me feeling like a full on clean up crew for back yard breeders

It's Friday again! Whew that week flew.

I want to touch base on something that will probably p**s off some breeders but I really don't care.

We are in a pet over population crisis due to the ridiculous amount of puppies born during the pandemic.
We now have a whole new pandemic of unnecessary DEATH to our beloved pets. In both shelters and vet clinics too due to inability to afford vet costs and not researching the choice to buy a pet or get insurance first and being impulsive.

Instagram and other social media platforms have created a fantastic "fantasy" realm for breeders that seem to think that their dogs are made of gold and worth thousands upon thousands of dollars. This mentality, piggy backed with the absolutely crazy people who will pay 8-10k for a dog because it's "micro" or "hypoallergenic "or it's parentage was from some foreign country where it won some trophies for being extra short or extra tea cup. Or maybe it's merle with blue eyes. Or maybe it's fluffy when it wasn't meant to be....

I am seeing too many people with dollar signs in their eyes thinking they have the money maker in their pet and way too eager to breed with zero experience. Zero knowledge on the market. No idea what the costs of vet care is anymore. They wing it and then are crawling to rescues for help 16 weeks later.

I am contacted almost every other day to take full litters and often their parents as well.
Most of the time these dogs are not even purebred and people weren't thinking and now they have a problem they need taken care of..

Other times I have people call me who are fully accountable and feel like p**p for breeding their dog. They see now that it should have been more thought out and they regret not spaying when the dog was young. I feel for people who are ignorant to the way things are. I truly do have compassion for humans sometimes despite the endless times they've let me down

I guess I got caught on a good day when I agreed to take these 7 kids into sato

It was a very different situation then what I'm normally presented with... however I was just as upset as ever that these beautiful faces were created with ZERO PLAN. Their mom is registered. The family did AI with purchased semen. They bought her from a breeder in BC and paid a hefty dollar for her. This breeder convinced them that she could make them money too. And even helped to get their dog lined up with the AI and you guessed it... semen bought from them!
Once this female was pregnant.. the breeder washed her hands and said good luck. To people who had never raised or sold puppies.

What the heck right?...

Well it happens all the time. And I'm honestly so tired of it. People Making promises they can't keep to make themselves some quick cash. Dogs being exploited because they have the ability to reproduce.

This family has agreed to surrender their entire litter of puppies and allow Me to spay their mother dog. They regret breeding and the thought of homing these babies to the WRONG place had them in tears. Discounting their costs to appeal to buyers as they were now 8 weeks and big... was terrifying because the wrong people are attracted to this breed and they knew it.

This family made a choice and so did I and for once I truly am greatful.

The world is learning. People are waking up.
More stories need to be shared about how breeding dogs is not a money making venture.

You don't want to know how much these people invested to have this litter.

Leave the breeding for reputable breeders with experience who show their dogs and health test their dogs. Who have wait lists for puppies with screened buyers
Their lives matter.

So without futher adue... welcome our 7 baby xl bullies.

Malfoy
Maverick
Oso
Gnocci

No joke we really do need your help to keep everyone eating and chewing on things they are supposed to. The pups deserve high quality food and good durable toys as they grow.

*Update:

Squeek as i expected has been confirmed diagnosis is hydrocephalus
The vet team and neurological department said that she is far too Tiny to put under any sedation for imaging and would not be a candidate for surgery to put in a shunt until she's 8-10 months old

The next step is to start her on 2 medications and give her a few weeks to see if her mobility and quality of life improve. If they do, she will get radiographs at 10 weeks in one month to make sure she doesn't have another issue common in chihuahuas effecting the bones in her neck.

If she can Rally enough to learn to walk and eat on her own I will consider her a success. She will never be "normal" and she may not live to be 4 months old

Only time will tell for right now I am just trying to remain optimistic and give her lots of love and cuddles**

🐾

This morning we have an emergency appointment at the OVC for little Squeek

She was born October 8th in a shelter. She was premature and her brother died hours later.

Since October 10th I've been hand raising her

When she opened her eyes I noticed her eyes were constantly downward. She didn't learn to walk like normal puppies. She does wag her tail and give kisses.
She's starting to teethe and gums on my finger
She barks(squeeks) to be picked up. But she can't even sit up on her own
She can't walk straight or hold her head up for long.

Fast forward 2 weeks and she seems to be declining neurologically which Is absolutely heart breaking.
Especially after the feeding every 3 hours the last month and pouring all the time and love she needed and still not seeing the results we should. So much lack of sleep has my emotions rattled.

Today we get some answers, some confirmation of suspicions. Hopefully today we get some treatment plans or options.
Today will be hard

For a puppy who's barely a Pound, it seems hard to have any hope. But I'm hanging on while I stare at the door they took her through moments ago.

You know I try to say I've learned not to get too attached after over a decade in rescue but.. that's a lie!!

If you can donate to her appointment today we would be ever so greatful
