We had a fun visitor at Animal ER today! KD is an 11mo kangaroo & is a resident at The Stable Haven. KD was there as moral support for her canine brother who had some ear issues. She certainly lifted our spirits as we head in to the holiday season 🎄 & we can’t wait for her to come visit again!!

Barb's Dog Rescue opened its doors in 2001 with one woman’s concern for the thousands of homeless dogs in Puerto Penasco, Mexico.

As word about the shelter has spread, their rescue & sanctuary has expanded. It’s hard to say no to moms with young puppies or injured dogs who would likely not survive if left on the streets. Once just a small shelter run by Barb alone, they now house nearly 400 dogs and puppies on any given day, with a team of staff and dedicated volunteers.

Many are waiting for their forever family, but for those that have been severely traumatized, Barb’s Dog Rescue will be their permanent sanctuary, and they will live out their lives knowing they are safe from the challenges of street life.

The Animal ER of the Western Slope staff has a special place in their hearts for Barb’s & each year, we hold a blanket drive to help bring some holiday cheer to these sweet souls. From now until December 27th, you can bring new or gently used towels, sheets, blankets & dog beds to our hospital & we will hand deliver them to Barb’s just before the new year!

In the spirit of the holiday season, help us show kindness to these beautiful dogs, most of whom have had a very rough life & who deserve a little extra love 💜

*Warning* Graphic Injury pictures


This sweet girl is Luna. She met an unfortunate fate over 3 weeks ago when a mountain lion entered her territory & attacked. Thanks to her breed’s toughness & her two canine companions who fought to save her, Luna survived the attack, but was left with life threatening injuries to her neck & head.
The team at Animal ER of the Western Slope worked diligently the first night to save her life & stabilize her for surgery. The wounds were deep & extensive requiring multiple surgeries over the next few weeks.
Last night, Luna had, what we hope, will be her final surgery to close the last wound!! This dog & her family are a testament to true love & the willingness to survive.
Our team has become so invested in this sweet Pitty & rallied around her & her family during her many weeks of care. There were many happy tears as she walked out of the hospital with mom & dad one more time. We will continue to monitor her recovery & are so thankful we were able to save this precious life!

We heard it was National Pit Bull Day & we would love to share the story of one of our favorite Pitties ever!

Leroy was rescued by our two Practice Managers back when they were technicians working an overnight together. Leroy was abandoned one freezing October night; cold, lifeless & too young to be away from his mom. The techs worked tirelessly to warm him, feeding him hourly throughout the night & taking turns carrying him inside their sweatshirts. When morning came, he went home with one of them, both techs determined to save this little life. It was round the clock care for this tiny puppy, but he finally turned a corner & was officially adopted by Sami & her family!

6 years old now, he spends his days romping with two little boys, hiking with the two techs who saved him & has lots of doggy friends. Additionally, Leroy is one of the blood donors at Animal ER of the Western Slope so he can give back by helping save lives of other dogs. He is an important part of our ER family & we love that there is a day dedicated to him & all the love pitties have to offer!!

Let’s see your favorite Pittie pictures & take some time today to celebrate this amazing breed!
