Yesterday, this cutie came to us from a rescue after owner surrender.πŸ’” We've started some medicines and hope to get Rylo feeling better soon. 🀞🏼🀞🏼

Do you have room in your house to foster?

PLEASE consider donating to help cover Rylo's medical journey, as it likely won't be a short one. Help turn this sweet, scared puppy's life around! 🩡

RYLO NEEDED EMERGENCY CARE... WE COULDNT LET HIM SUFFER ONE MINUTE LONGER!!

We took on this poor sick puppy as an urgent emergency (without a plan for foster) as his former owners had him for more than 2 months and did not give him any kind of medical care. They ignored Rylo's cries (we have some devastating videos to prove it) and allowed him to get worse and worse without doing anything to help him feel better. It's devastating and infuriating at the same time.

Rylo's eyes are crusted over, he's got skin lesions, his tail is missing hair, he walks a bit wobbly, and he shows very obvious signs of neglect. This poor puppy has been uncomfortable for a long time, and finally his former family realized they needed to give him to someone that could provide the care he needed.

So, we jumped into action and rushed Rylo to our friends at Mount Carmel Vet who agreed to help us without hesitation! The vet suspects he has been suffering with puppy strangles among other issues. He is absolutely terrified and needs a lot of patience and love - can you blame him!? He's been started on medicaton, and has a way to go before he is fully healed. He did not deserve to live this way, but today is the first day of the rest of Rylo's life.

He will go to foster care, and we will watch his condition closely. Rylo will likely need multiple vet visits, and we intend to provide him with the very best medical care.

PLEASE, if you can, donate to help us cover the costs of Rylo's ongoing medical care and supplies while he is in foster. Help us turn this sweet, scared puppy's life around!

🐿️🐿️We got flagged about little ittie bitties found during yard work. Possibly baby squirrels.

We instructed them to look them over for injury with gloves on. If they were fine, to put them in a shallow dish next to the tree closest to the find spot and keep pets away.

It was a warm day so temp wasn't a concern and they were gone at the next check up a few hours later. πŸ€—πŸ€—πŸ€—

Holy moly ear discharge! Poor bun bun. 😞This ain't no regular discharge.... unwanted guests were suspected and sure enough we found them.

Same Clover, same....and it's only Wednesday. 🫣

She heard through the grapevine that the golden retrievers who were surrendered to a local pound got a hundred adoption applications AND only were subjected to a few sleepless nights in the "doggie jail".πŸ₯΄

She has been in "doggie jail" for months with few applications but several returns. Of course she's happy for the goldens but she can't help but feel some sort of way.

We tried to tell her this is the way of the world.... esthetics rule. We told her "purebreds" get it easier sometimes.

She had good rebuttals- I shed less, I'm a mutt so it's likely I'll live longer, I'm lower energy. 🎯

Yes Clover, you are correct. Yes girl, we know you are a catch and it is not fair you've seen many dogs come and go before you. She's entitled to her opinion and her feelings are valid. πŸ’”πŸ’”

Don't even get her started on the small poodly things from the hoarding situation that will all likely get homes before she does. 🀐

Please apply at Hamden Animal Control or call them for more details or seeing to meet and greet.

πŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆBe careful of what you trust on social media. Research has shown that humans are generally more motivated to leave negative reviews than positive ones. Why???

Negativity bias

Venting frustration

Perceived impact

Self-interest: sense of power and control over a situation where they felt wronged.

Social proof: negative reviews encourage others to share their negative experiences, creating a snowball effect.

We've found the above to be πŸ’― true. Even when someone complains about another clinic, 99% of the time when we look into the "story" there was a LOT of detail missing the first go around.

Good for this emergency clinic illustrating the "missed" details but poor pup deserved better. πŸ’”

🩺Happy Marvelous Case Monday!🩻 Despite not knowing her too long but already being aware she was a fussy eater, her refusing breakfast was enough for the rescue to bring her in for a check over. It indeed was a good call because she had almost a 106 fever and was dehydrated. πŸ”₯ Her symptoms would get more severe, more convoluted, more perplexing as the days went on with very few answers or concrete discoveries. Many treatments were tried, many opinions were heard, many theories were discussed and many tests were run, but very few good discoveries for good answers were uncovered. πŸ˜΅β€πŸ’« Her multifaceted illness stumped lots- it was a frustrating, emotional roller coaster of one step forward, two steps back. 🎒 Her problem list was a bizarre collection longer than Elizabeth Taylor's husband tally: early jaundice, anemia, low platelets, lung fluid, upper respiratory, low white blood cells, heavy mucus causing breathing abnormalities, abnormally high heart rate, cyclic fever... But we never gave up and more importantly, the Halfway Home Rescue Inc never gave up on us, giving us the green light to take care of her, sometimes requiring 'outside the box' ideas.πŸ’― Through around the clock treatments of a balance of holistic and a concoction of pharmaceuticals, we are pleased to announce Addison persevered! She may have used up 4 of her lives but she was well enough to be dischargedπŸ₯³πŸ₯³ and she returned to the rescue for outpatient recovery. 😻😻

Here's a video of her FIRST meal by herself (she had been fed by us via a feeding tube prior). πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•

Supervising tasks can be a tiring job. King was spent after micromanaging walkway details. He thought he served a cool treat in the cool AC.

Still needs a home! Call Hamden Animal Control for applications.

He's not a fluffy doodle but all the better- no grooming needed. He is a giant cuddler and a goof ball that loves giving kissies. πŸ’‹πŸ’‹πŸ’‹

When we got an early plea call from East Haven Animal Shelter, East Haven CT to help more of their neglected hoarding dogs (from Woodbridge) because their regular vet clinic couldn't fit them in.... you betcha, we said "absolutely, come down today".πŸ’― We couldn't bear the thought of having dogs be encased in urine and f***l "dreads" for any longer.🀒😒 In between appointments and procedures, Dr. Stewart and Laura combed, shaved, removed tooth tartar, extracted rotten teeth and bathed four dogs for SIX hours. βœ‚οΈ The pups turned out just as purty as the two from Saturday they stayed 4 hours late to take care of.πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

🩻Happy Marvelous Case Monday!🩺 Javier arived to check some odd spots near his eyes. But his spots looked suspicious so the doctor went hunting for more around the body.... aaand she found them. 🎯 She suspected an autoimmune disorder and because Mom approved the necessary testing to confirm the hypothesis, he's now on the correct regime of medicine and supplements.πŸ€—πŸ€— His lupus makes his skin and eyes sensitive to sunlight so mom got him these cool guy glasses (doggles) for his protection.😎

We've been blessed over the years to (mostly πŸ˜‚) have driven and dedicated employees, interns, volunteers, and students. This field depends on it but slowly over the years, as with most jobs, it's apparent that it's becoming more uncommon throughout the country.

Lucky for us, Laura started in this field while she was in highschool many moons ago, so she has that original "hard work ethic" mentality. πŸ’ͺ🏼

She's quick to lend a hand and always thinking of how to improve things, for example, she added concrete to water bowls that some boarders were flipping, therefore dumping their water supply leaving the pups thirsty. We had tried all different styles, places and heights but that concrete is what did the trick. 🧠

She stops by on her day off to "quickly" power wash the walkway since she had access to the tools for the day!πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‘πŸΌ

Without a doubt, she wins the July star. ⭐⭐ ⭐⭐⭐
Thank you for your generosity and kind heart when it comes to animals and people.

Still no applications Clover, I'm sorry.πŸ˜” You are a small convenient size, have a sweet personality especially with your piggie snorts and are entertaining with your quirks- so we are unsure what the hold up is. 🀷🏼

Until you get a good match, we will keep on trying to distract you from the sadness of having to be in a run every night, homeless. πŸ’”πŸ’”

🩺Happy Marvelous Case Monday! 🩻Remember Mischu from mid June who snuck outside, had trouble getting back home and then was in a gastly state upon return? Thankfully his owners came to the sad conclusion that they couldn't care for him the way he needed so they reached out to appropriate people to get him emergency help. We removed his non functional, painful eye and buckled up for the bumpy road to nurse him back to health as he was emaciated and ill. πŸ’” He made a full recovery AND his foster fell in love with his little sweet soul so she adopted him. πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•πŸ’•He is now living the high life as Oliver. 😻 What a handsome and lucky boy. Thank you to all that helped him get to us, your donations that helped us treat his multiple health issues, the foster- fail and as always Halfway Home Rescue Inc having our back in case we couldn't place him a forever home.
