Woof Pack Rescue

12/14/2024

Dogs are not Christmas presents … 50% of shelter dogs are full blooded, and they get euthanized just the same. Be part of the solution, not the problem! Spay and neuter , do not support backyard breeders , be a foster or there are many other ways to help rescues, social media, photography to help get animals adopted, help writing biographies…a hundred ways that requires a little time or a little donation .

Pound Pitties Dog Rescue said it best with this post and we couldn’t agree more.

When we started this rescue, our mission was to help the abused, neglected and discarded dogs in our city and beyond.

Our mission has never been to relieve you of you of the commitment YOU made to your dog when you took them in.

People have babies and keep their dogs.

People change careers and keep their dogs.

Peoples schedules get hectic and they keep their dogs.

People move and find a way to keep their dog.

People run into issues with manageable/trainable behavior AND THEY KEEP THEIR DOGS.

These situations are not unique.

We didn't start this rescue to bail you out. I'm sorry, I know that may sound harsh-- and yes, we know that there are absolutely situations in which people can truly no longer care for their dog- and we help with those as much as we can.

But for the love of Dog-- step up for your dog. Show up for your dog. Show your dog the same love and commitment today that you showed them the day you brought them home.

Dogs are being euthanized here, in shelters every single day because the shelter does not have space. FRIENDLY. HEALTHY. HAPPY. ADOPTABLE. DOGS.

Your dog is no different than any of the dogs that have been losing their lives every day and if you give up on your dog-- they could be next.

Let’s keep our furry family safe.

This holiday season, let's ensure our homes are merry and safe for everyone, including our animals! While decking the halls, it's important to be mindful of holiday plants that might pose a risk to our pets. Some festive plants can be harmful if ingested by our curious companions. 🎄

⚠️ Avoid potential hazards by keeping these plants out of reach:
- Mistletoe
- Holly
- Poinsettias
- Christmas tree pine needles
- Amaryllis
- Lilies

These plants, when nibbled on by our pets, could cause discomfort, illness, or even more severe issues. In case of any accidental ingestion or concerns about your pet's health, be sure to contact the ☠️ Pet Poison Helpline at 855-764-7661 or the ASPCA Poison Control Center 888-426-4435.

Let's make this season joyous and safe for every member of our family, furry ones included! Spread the word and keep those holiday plants in safe places!

Thank you in advance!

I just received a donation from Pawn Shop that I am so so grateful for . I can not tell you how much it will help the dogs and all I have already put into them on my own . Thank you , thank you , thank you ! It’s been a rough year and it brings tears to my eyes .

Just a little fyi also… anyone who had RK on their eyes (before there was lasik) , if you work in a garden or with soil, clean off dog feet, basically anything with dirt, there can be fungus in any soil and if you had RK, that’s open slits for that to go right in your cornea, so wear gloves , if you now wear contacts, change your contact solution every single time before you take them out . Fungal keratitis is the number one way people lose an eye. I never heard of it before but if you feel a scratch and you had RK, get to the eye dr immediately. And EVERYONE in Houston that has it goes to UT medical center eye center for treatment . Time is utterly important in the outcome. My Dr was Dr K, no one pronounces his name the same , but everyone loves him and he was wonderful , and had my kind of sense of humor. Have to give them a shout out…

After many months (since march) I feel like I can dip my toe back into rescue. I still can’t see well out of my left eye because of the scar tissue smack dab in the middle of my cornea from the fungal infection , but it’s gotten a little better with a contact and my right eye works so I can drive some now and read the computer some . It’s been a long journey , one filled with unexpected heartbreaking events , but I’m quite blessed that I’m not having to have a cornea transplant or a glittery fake eye. Anyone who knows me well knows I’d have to have glitter ! I still have dogs that I’ve had throughout this ordeal that I will be looking for the right adopters , a couple of new ones that my foster picked up during my absence, and a kitty , which I don’t normally deal with , but it’s extenuating circumstances for a friend of mine that’s older and going thru health issues . The kitty has a hard deadline of November 10 because the lady is having surgery . I don’t know the kitty community so pretty un knowledgeable about where to start with that . I’m still not 100% and have multiple surgeries in January but I’ve got doggies and a kitty that’s waiting on me to find them their forever home .

I think I’m going to have to take a break from rescue for a bit . It feels like I have a black cloud over me . I lost one I’ve had for years suddenly , got one that has chronic clostridium toxin without tylosin every day , one I boarded because she ate her blanket and threw up chunks of it and after having g her at the vet to be checked for blockage and boarded for several days to watch her and then I got bronchitis so she stayed extra days , she looks like she just got picked up off the street after a dog fight . Been to the vet 3 times with her in the last 7 days and she’s worse . One that I have been trying to figure out if she was fixed or not and after 6 months , she seems to be in heat with no blood , but trying to mate with any dog that will let her get close . Still working with one good eye and wondering how to get over my loss, the craziness, my sadness, and still hold down the fort , which I feel like I’m failing at . I lost all my people to help and I’m not equipped to do it all . I think when things calm down , I’ll be a foster , the thing there’s a shortage of for other rescues . It’s going to be hard to actually adopt out some of these doggies I’ve had a while . They are like family but I can’t keep them all .

I can’t even begin to go down the path of heartache and loss I feel , and anger , of getting a call one of your rescued fur babies has 108 degree temp but was fine yesterday . As some if you know I got a fungal cornea infection about 2 months ago which could have led to me losing that eye . My dr at UT med center was awesome . I’m at least on the mend but just when I thought I could handle my two big dogs that have been boarding for 6-7 weeks , I got a call my baby boy German Shepard was sick , then a call he had 108 fever . I can’t drive that far yet but I was going to try , thought I’d call the vet haven’t to first . The receptionist said he passed away . Phones passed to someone else because that couldn’t be true . I just checked on them Monday . Wednesday my boy died , don’t know why , don’t know why he had 108 fever , when he was fine Tuesday night . The mgr asked if they could send him for a necropsy which I said hell yes, I want to know what happened to my healthy 95 lb boy in one day . Guess what , I can’t the report because get the report because I didn’t take him and the Dr that called me with a whole lot of guesstimating doesn’t work at the vet associated with parent company or the boarding facility but I’m no avg pet owner . And I demanded more tests because what I got was bs and I better be able to get a copy of my boy Riley’s autopsy because I need to know why . Rip , my derpy, sweet, beautiful boy of 5. Your best friend that was with you there is sad too!

Now that I can partially see … I thought I’d let everyone know … I got some kind of eye infection that affected my vision in one eye 2 weeks ago . I’ve been to er , Berkeley thinking, detached retina. . That would have been an easier fix . I got sent to UT ophthalmology and after 2 weeks , a gambit of things thrown at it , no response , so that required an or biopsy and antifungal shots in my eye . Thankfully I got twilighted . If not for my sweet understanding husband taking me everywhere and making sure I was taken care of , and my youngest daughter fir taking care of all my rescues , I don’t know what I would have done . Actually, I do, come to find out a rare sntifungal infection will destroy your entire eye . I still have all of those rk slits in my cornea and then wearing contacts now, some nasty fungi got in my cornea.
All that being said , it’s very painful, the medicine has to be strong to save the eye , and I’ve got to find some fosters or adopters for some of the dogs . It’s hard for me to read for long and the computer is worse but I’ll post some later . I have to take a break from rescue until I can at least see better and drive . This is apparently a 2-3 month ordeal ,hard to kill and the meds can cause toxicity as well . If anyone can volunteer to do dog nails at my house , even that would help . I have a dremmell but I have no hand eye coordination .
