Sometimes, kids, I am very bad and I take dogs in even knowing they are going to bleed us dry. This is one of those dogs. I took Zara in because who wouldn’t with that face? Zara is a 1 year old Great Pyrenees who is the victim of terrible breeding practices. Her hips are the worst I have ever seen and I can’t believe she can even walk. The femur is centimeters away from the hip socket. That’s insane. Zara’s condition is what happens when people breed dogs knowing or not caring that their breeding stock have problems and it is unethical and cruel.

Zara has to have a total hip replacement on both hips. This is a $12,000 surgery. The alternative is to euthanize her and none of us want to do that because she is the kindest, sweetest dog in the history of ever. We have already spent all the special dog money we set aside at the beginning of the year, but she is in pain and needs to have this done.

If you would like to help us help Zara, you can donate $5 here: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=LPNJEHNPR8AUU or via venmo (the last four digits are 9191 for those who will ask). Thanks as always and send good thoughts in to the universe for her. This is a big surgery.

I give up. Today has just been awful and the icing on the cake came this afternoon when one of our employees spotted a dog laying next to the railroad tracks not far from our building. After climbing down, they found a dog that had been seriously injured. We aren’t sure what hit her and I can only hope for a car and not a train which is a weird thing to say. She has a severely broken back leg and is unable to stand and she is dehydrated and shocky. It appears she has been there for at least several hours.

We have taken her to our local emergency vet for immediate care and given the way the leg looks, I am thinking this is an amputation. I am hoping she has no internal injuries we can’t see.
This dog is someone’s pet and we will be looking for an owner.

We have another that went in this morning with a high fever of unknown origin and severe pneumonia and we are honestly afraid for her as she is in ICU on oxygen and this is an out of nowhere illness. Ghostie who I posted for adoption yesterday is seriously ill today. Yesterday she was running around playing. Today she is in terrible shape. Our best guess is canine influenza as she only had one shot and was only boostered for it two days ago which is not enough to provide complete immunity. She has been to a dog park very recently, and unbeknownst to us, canine influenza is running rampant through middle Tennessee (and the mid-South area in general right now) in dog daycares, boarding facilities and dog parks. We know now.

I am expecting a catastrophic bill for the two of these dogs. If you can help us, you can donate here: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=LPNJEHNPR8AUU. I am kind of at the end of my rope right now.

Thanks as always and say a prayer for them.

We have an emergency. We have been working with an older lady whose rural property has turned into a dumping ground for abandoned animals. She has asked for help and we must help. There is no animal control to help with this and it’s us or no one at this point as the other dog rescues we reached out to can’t help. There are 60 dogs, 20 cats, 2 goats, 4 pigs and 1 horse. We are a dog rescue, but we are not leaving anyone behind and we are working to get the other animals safe and to rescues. Complicating this is that we can’t accept any unvaccinated animals into our facility because of the puppies that came in with distemper from a shelter and even though we have those puppies in isolation, I consider it very risky to bring in any unvaccinated animals.

We are going out tomorrow to vaccinate all the animals, deworm them, treat them for fleas and ticks and remove the animals most at risk and get them to the vet for treatment. We will be removing animals for weeks. The cost of this operation will be high as they are always in need of significant vet care. We’ll need your help to cover the costs. If you can donate $5 to help them, you can do so here: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=LPNJEHNPR8AUU

We can also use foster homes in the mid-South area. If you’re local to us and can help, email [email protected].

More pics are in the comments. Thanks for helping us help them.

PS please do not bash the lady. These dogs are being fed and she keeps them as clean as she can, but this is obviously not ideal.
