Shepherds Beyond Borders

SBB would like to thank all of you who donated to the New Mexico pair (Fernando and Neva) saved who are in their forever foster home. This female who has confirmed cancer in her mammary and lungs will live her best life while her foster mom and vet decide the best care from here, but have no doubt, this girl will get the best. If you would like to donate and continue to support her (as well as the male)please do so by sending her balls, Kirkland beef, fish or lamb based foods. Some nice blankets or beds as well as both dogs are leaning to enjoy the comforts of a bed instead of the hard ground they’ve lived on all their lives. The address: Howl-A-Day Inn Daycare 6750 Westside DR El Paso, TX 79933

Andi had her follow up appointment on the 11th. Her anal tumor has increased in size by 10% from her May appointment. Her weight is up almost 10lbs from that appointment as well and we’ve decided that’s the perfect weight for her, 55lbs. She’s gone from 30lb to 55lbs which is amazing since if we’re honest, a dog at the age of 11 shouldn’t have lived what she went through. She has been put in gabapentin to help with any pain she may be having in her rectal area, but also to help with the amount of arthritis she has as she’s been limping in her front leg some. On her May appointment X-rays showed her spine from her neck down to her tail is full of arthritis. Her eye tumor hasn’t increased in size (most likely cancer) which doesn’t seem to bother her, but also glad it’s stable, but the tumor on her eyelid is growing and does bother to a point. We do have an appointment to have it removed, but with the anal tumor growing at the rate it is we feel she doesn’t need surgery to cause anymore pain in her life. She’s felt enough throughout her years. Andi has gained muscle tone, which helps during meal-time as she’s rearing up and jumping around showing absolute pleasure. She jumps on the couch with no problem and no longer falls in the floor trying to run to the door with the others when it’s time to go outside. She has more spunky, wag in het tail and willingness to play with the cats, dogs or a ball as you can see. She’s become the big protector of the home and property even when it’s the trash at the end of the driveway waiting to be picked up 😂 We know our time is limited with this girl and it truly breaks our hearts. She is so full of life, love, energy and the desire to be part of this family (that she will not leave until her days are over). We have watched her become something she wasn’t when she arrived in our home. We’ve watched her thrive, turn around from the dog that was left in a crate to die. She wants to live, but sadl

We had our regular testing done in preparation to pull Veija from the shelter and found her to be Erhlichia and Anaplasmosis positive. This poor girl can’t catch a break. She will need fund towards boarding/daycare and transport.

Adopted Meet sweet, sweet Peggy Sue. She’s an older girl who we let run with us as keeping her in a fenced yard isn’t going to happen (she climbs it while you are with her). We think she does it to entertain herself after she’s done playing with the others and you. She loves climbing the snowbanks, being with her people while chores are being done and being loved on. She absolutely can NOT be with cats. She can be with dogs of all sizes and humans of all ages. She’s an amazing dog who we would love to have in her forever home. She’s completely vetted and available for adoption. Please contact us if interested.

Adopted This happy 4 month old male is looking for his forever home. He’s crate trained, on his way to being housebroken. He’s been around a 2 yr old toddler, cats and dogs of all sizes. All vetting is done on him. If interested please contact us.

Elliot is a 3-4 yr old male who’s been a good boy with us who spent several months at the shelter before being rescued. He shows signs of abuse, but shows no signs of aggression. He loves playing fetch and tends to not want to give up his ball, but shows no intent of wanting to hurt anyone with it, just loves playing with it and hopes someone will enjoy the game just as he does. He will do best with a female and can be with a smaller non-dominant male (he’s a large boy) and doesn’t really show any interest in the cats. He’s relaxed for the most part, slow in motivation and an all around great dog who just needs a home to understand he has baggage. All vetting is done on him. If interested please contact us.

Adopted Innis is a 1-3 yr old female who’s available for adoption. She’s extremely submissive, timid and shy of dominant dogs and the same with new people, but she’s a sweet dog. She shows no aggression towards any other dogs, human or cats she’s been introduced to. She may have been abused, lacks in social skills, but otherwise has done well overcoming much of this. Innis is up to date on all shot, spayed and microchipped. She walks well on a leash. If interested please contact us.

Distemper sucks! This perfect little pup isn’t going to make it sadly. He was a pup who struggled with nasty poops, but otherwise a perfectly normal pup. He spent the last several days at the vet’s and tonight he came home for a few hours of love in the hopes it would help, but it hasn’t. Carson is on his way to the ER Vet with Julia as we will be letting him go, to no longer suffer from the evil distemper brings to one so young and finally be at rest. There’s still a need for the vet bill from his stay in puppy ICU along with tonight’s bill if anyone could help.

Now comes the hard stuff for these 4 young GSDs who most likely lived in a backyard never knowing what a home life would be like, a walk with their family or being a loved companion…that’s about to change, but until then, we work through all this fear. If anyone would like to help with there boarding cost which includes their socialization and training needs we have attached some links. Thank you. https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=N7DVGA9PEKYGE https://venmo.com/u/SBB-Rescue https://cash.app/$SBBRescue

For the first time in months Peggy Sue and Sandra D are free from the shelter, a small kennel area (they did get outside time from time to time for videos to help find rescue or adopters) and time to run off some much needed energy and play! This is what boarding should be, and rescue is all about. Two lives saved and looking for forever homes.

This girl is out and safe. Despite her rough exterior she seems to have a heart of gold. It’s amazing how cruelly they can be treated and still think we’re the best thing to ever happen to them. This girls life changed thanks to your support. Thank you! If you’d like to send her something off her wish list, you can find it here: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3FBF9ZQTF5ERS?ref_=wl_share https://cash.app/$SBBRescue https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=38VK98A4E2K84

Remember the blind Mali we transported to his home several weeks ago who was saved from the shelter in Juarez being shut down by authorities who was facing certain death? Look at him now living his best life. This is what keeps us going!
