Winter isn't coming.

It's here!

Frostbite in dogs can cause the following symptoms:
Skin discoloration: The affected area of skin may appear pale, blue, gray, or black
Skin texture: The skin may feel cold and brittle
Pain: The affected area may be painful or tender when touched
Swelling: The affected area may swell
Blisters or ulcers: The affected area may develop blisters or skin ulcers
Ice: Ice may be present around the affected area
Limping: The dog may limp on the affected paws
Sensitivity: The affected area may be more sensitive to touch
Tissue death: The affected area may experience tissue death
Sloughing: Tissue may slough off
Secondary infections: Open wounds may lead to secondary infections
Frostbite occurs when a dog is exposed to extremely cold temperatures, below 32ยบ F, for an extended period of time. This causes the blood vessels near the skin to constrict, which helps keep the dog's heat near its core.
If you suspect your dog has frostbite, you should immediately move them to a warm environment and gently warm the affected area with lukewarm water. You should avoid rubbing the area or using hot water. You should also seek immediate veterinary care to prevent permanent damage.
To prevent frostbite, you can:
Dress your dog in a sweater or jacket to keep their body warm
Put dog boots on your dog to keep their paws warm and dry
Make sure your dog's fur is dry before going outside
Keep your dog away from bodies of water

Every pet handler stands in this place at some time. It seems to happen more frequently for those of us involved in rescue work. Please, remember those of us who stand in the gap, giving hope to the unwanted, and making sure they are not alone when the final moments come. We're standing in that place now, as we stand vigil with our beloved Queen.

REPOSTED:

The Last Battle

If it should be that I grow weak,
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then you must do what must be done,
For this last battle cannot be won.
You will be sad, I understand;
Don't let your grief then stay your hand.
For this day more than all the rest,
Your love for me must stand the test.
We've had so many happy years -
What is to come can hold no fears.
You'd not want me to suffer so;
The time has come, so let me go.
Take me where my needs they'll tend
And please stay with me until the end.
Hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time that you will see
The kindness that you did for me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I've been saved.
Please do not grieve - it must be you
Who had this painful thing to do.
We've been so close, we two, these years -
Don't let your heart hold back its tears.

Providing hope for the unwanted.

Greetings from: Turtle Island Canine Rescue Rehab. Providing hope for the unwanted.

Some dogs find their way into what should be a forever home, but things don't work out and they get returned for no real fault of their own. Some dogs just can't keep it together when people come to visit, or they're such shrinking violets that they get passed over time and time again. These dogs have great potential to be the perfect new addition to your pack. We provide the safety net to help these dogs get the social skills they need and to find their forever home.

I must interject here, there are a lot of well-intended adopters that fall short and don't give the dog a proper chance. Often times, especially with adopted puppies, their exuberance is misinterpreted as aggressive behavior. Once a dog is returned to shelter, especially if it is mislabeled as aggressive, it can begin a downward spiral that could eventually lead it to the needle. Yet with some proper guidance, a structured environment, loving and affectionate encouragement, these dogs become great companions. That's what they find here at Turtle Island Canine Rescue Rehab.
