Remember little Fia from Texas? Fia was found by a rescue living as a stray in Texas. Soon after the rescue took her in they realized they did not have the experience to deal with a Dutch Shepherd and put out a plea for a rescue with experience to take her in. We went down to Texas to get her and we brought her home. For awhile we looked for a placement for her but with her drive and desire to work we couldn’t find the right placement. Fia was adopted by the founders of Death Row to Dream Dog and is working towards titling in the sport of PSA (protection sport association). We always try to find placements for the dogs who come through us but sometimes there are some who are just where they belong.

For those of you asking about how Zeke is doing. He did get adopted by his foster family. Sorry for the dark video but this is him last night playing with my dog Grimm. He is doing very well.

A little update on Zeke the vet sent him home because he was stable enough and wanted him to be comfortable. He is still getting medication and he has prostatitis so they are trying to figure out how to treat all of the different problems he has without making anything else worse. He is very happy to be back with his fosters ❤️🥰 thank you all who donated we are still in need of donations if anyone is able to. Right now our bill is about $800 and we received about $130 in donations yesterday.

We are once again asking for donations for sweet Zeke AKA Burt. He is not doing well and is going to be hospitalized for a few days to try and get him feeling better. His kidneys are failing and the vets are trying to get his Lyme disease under control without making his kidneys worse they still don’t know if the enlarged prostate is playing a role as well. He has been declining for the last week and his foster parents have been the absolute best bringing him to the vet everyday last week and visiting him multiple times a day while he is under vet care. All of this treatment is very expensive and we are in desperate need of donations. This poor dog was dumped in our front yard in horrible condition and has been through so much. Medically it has just been one thing after another for this poor guy. Our funds are completely depleted from the constant vet care he needs and we are really in desperate need of help. Your donation is tax deductible! Please help even if it’s only a little.

Went to visit Zeke AKA Burt to do some grooming and he is such a happy boy now! He has one urinalysis pending and an upcoming blood work appointment to clear him for his neuter that is scheduled in a few weeks. We are still looking for donations to help cover the cost of his extensive vet bills. We typically don’t take in dogs like him but when they are left in our front yard we can’t turn them away. We mostly take in shepherd Malinois type dogs that need behavioral modification we typically don’t take in major medical cases because we don’t have a ton of extra funds. We love Zeke and are happy we could help him and see the major change in him. Please donate if you can.

Really good news about Zeke AKA Burt! His testing came back today and he does NOT have prostate cancer!! 🎊🎉 this poor little guy has had so much going on with him medically and the vet suspected prostate cancer and we are very happy that it is not that! He does have prostate enlargement as well as very low albumin protein levels, possible stage 2 kidney disease and he also had beta hemolytic streptococcus which is very rare in dogs. He has been on antibiotics and will continue to be on them for a few more weeks to make sure we clear up all of the infection. The streptococcus is typically only seen in dogs living in very crowded unsanitary conditions so that may be some insight into his past. Now that he is mostly medically cleared he will finish his vaccines and be able to get neutered. Then he will be ready to live the rest of his life with the best parents ever. Thank you all for sharing and donating towards him! He deserves it!

Fia on our late night walk she did so great. She is very vigilant and checked around each corner we turned for danger. She walked past people well but kept an eye on them. She is a good little protector.

Fia really turned a corner this week with her behavior. I am so proud of her! Little miss Fia (center) is looking for forever family. When she got here she had 0 social skills and was having a very hard time interacting with other dogs. She would not take cues or corrections from other dogs but now with the work we have put in her she is doing really well at socializing. It’s not perfect but she is getting better. We would still prefer her to live in a single dog household but if owner was experienced and knew how to properly manage it might be an option. She played today with 6 other dogs in the yard and did really well. Picture of Fia with my pointy eared crew 🥰 if you or anyone you know is interested in making Fia part of the family please message us. We are starting to look for her forever home but will be very selective on her new owners. They must have experience with Dutch Shepherds Malinois or similar breeds she is not a beginner dog.

Please don’t stop donating towards Burt/Zekes medical bills. We are desperately in need of more funds for his medical bills!

12/26/2022

Burt is now named Zeke and he is acting like a completely different dog in his foster home. He is loving life now and has come out of his shell. He loves playing with all his toys and cuddling up on the couch. We will have more medical updates this week when we get some results back.

Merry Christmas everyone! I thought today would be a great time to announce our newest addition Fia! This adorable little 6 month old Dutch Shepherd Belgian Malinois will be up for adoption once we get her fully evaluated and work with her more. She was found by someone in Texas as a stray but she clearly was well taken care of and very used to humans. The person who took her in works with a rescue but they do not work with Dutch shepherds or similar breeds and did not know how to handle the energy or the high protective instinct. She started to show some behavior that is normal to the breed at this age but needs a strong owner to shape her. She was transferred to our rescue so she could get the proper training and find a home with experience with the breed. So far she has been friendly with everyone she has met. She has not been introduced to children yet. She is still learning how to play properly with other dogs. She has a big personality and needs to be reminded to play gently. She is starting to understand corrections from other dogs. She would be best in an only dog household but we would consider other options if the owner was very experienced with the breed and knew how to manage very well. She is very much a Velcro dog! She has been with us a week and she has already picked up on so much training. She still needs some work before she will be ready for adoption but we would be looking for someone who is either a very active owner or participates in dog sports. We are excited to be able to help this beautiful little girl find her forever home.

Burt had another vet visit today and he had some blood drawn for testing he also had X-rays. The vet found that Burt has an enlarged prostate with some calcification she is concerned and we need to do further testing to find out what is going on with him. He needs an ultrasound and some other testing that is going to be expensive. He is doing so well though and is really coming out of his shell at his foster home. He is playing and starting to act like a normal dog. He was so much more confident at the vet and was a perfect angel he didn’t need anyone to hold him for his vaccines or blood draw he just stood there and let them do it. This sweet baby deserved better then being dumped in my yard in the dark. I’m glad that he can finally live the rest of his life being loved and spoiled.

Burt’s weight progress so far. It has only been a week and he is already looking so much better! Please if you can donate it helps us to continue helping dogs.

Burt’s stray hold is up! It’s really sad that someone mistreated him and discarded him but now he can live out the rest of his life being spoiled. Picture of Burt very comfortable in his foster home 🥰

Besides monetary donations we could also use donations of these items. We could use wire crates, hard sided travel crates, a shelf of some sort to store supplies, and a dog run for dogs who are in quarantine.

12/14/2022

I think it is safe to say Burt is feeling right at home with his foster 🥰😘

12/14/2022

Burt went to his foster home a little early! He wasnt able to relax around here with all the chaos of other dogs. He is a very sensitive guy, he prefers to be in a calm and quiet environment. He is doing fantastic! He loves his foster parents and even cuddled up on the couch with them! So much progress I am so happy for this guy. Thank you all for your wonderful donations and caring so much about him! Please keep donating if you can!

12/13/2022

For those of you keeping up with Burt’s story he is still here and his stray hold will be up soon. Please if you can donate even if it’s a small amount it will help us pay for his vet care. We have to get blood work done, all his vaccines up to date, neuter him and give him a microchip along with some other testing. His owners gave up on him but we will not. Please help us if you can. You can donate on our website. Picture of Burt at the vet 💕

Little Burt is settling in ❤️ he does not want to leave his crate which is fine we will give him time to come out on his own when he feels safe enough to. Poor little man has had it rough.
