Lookie who it is- Kahlua! He's recently started to turn that little frown upside down. Kahlua is one of five dogs who were left in a kennel in a parking lot late one night. The dogs have made progress with their people socialization to varying degrees. Kahlua has finally started to blossom, after spending a little time in foster. He will now approach those he knows for attention and quickly zoom in for some pets. He is brave enough to check out the yard now, and is starting to socialize (and even play some!) with the other dogs. Kahlua is just 10 months old, and has overcome a lot in his short life. We think he is now officially ready to go to a very patient forever home, or a foster to adopt home. DM us or email [email protected] or [email protected] for more info!

Shared by a Vet ...
For anyone that has to release horses/set them free as a last resort from the fires, please read:

1) When letting horses out of stalls or pastures, CLOSE ALL of the stall doors/gates once they are set free. When horses are panicked, they will usually go back to their stall or pasture, which will likely trap them in the fire.

2) Write your name/phone number on your horses’s hooves in sharpie OR with spray paint/paint on their body. You can also tie something in their mane/tail, but there’s a chance it could get snagged on something or burned.

3) Leave all halters off — they will burn into the sides of their face and can get caught on fencing/objects.

My thoughts are with all that are impacted by these devastating fires. Please be smart and stay safe ❤️

This is a photo of a fox found dead last week.
There were no signs of any injuries, so an autopsy was done, only to discover a balloon lodged in his digestive system.
Pretty horrible way to go.

I know people miss their loved ones, but releasing balloons into the sky does nothing but kill innocent wildlife, on land and in the sea.

Just sayin’.

*** pupdate #3 ****
Her name is Serenity 💜

This little old gal had her vet checkup and vaccines two days ago.
We also ran bloodwork and a urinalysis - to make sure she is healthy as can be for her new mom.

PayPal: 💰[email protected]

She is going to her foster-to-adopt this Tuesday.

We would love to accept some donations towards her medical care, so we can continue to save little older nuggets like this girl.

*** pupdate #2 ****
She is now safe with our rescue. She is going to the vet tomorrow for checkup and vaccines. She already has a lovely woman very interested in adopting her ...... and guess where she lives ? Prescott !!!

She is going to need full vetting, so if anybody would like to donate, we would greatly appreciate it

TW: Euthanasia, Grief

The next time you say “you only care about the money” picture this….

A dog is given a meal of Raising Canes french fries and canned chicken. He spits out the chocolate kiss, but that’s okay his caregivers have plenty to give.

He is then placed on the gurney and surrounded by the entire staff. The clinic almost stops in time as if nothing else matters but his moment. Someone asks “Is his family going to be present?” To which someone says “We were more of a family to him than anyone else.”

He is given his first injection. Everyone is trying to fight the urge to cry. He is given the second injection and the entire team streams tears down their faces. “You’re such a good boy,” “We’re sorry, buddy” is what is heard between the sniffles. The doctor verifies he has calmly passed. Once he has, though it’s a sense of dread I wouldn’t wish upon my worst enemy, it feels like he has finally found peace.

…But it’s just about the money, right?

We heard this week is SHARK WEEK! We deal primarily with Chihuahuas (who CAN be kinda shark-like, here and there), but we never miss an opportunity for a photo-op. ;-) Bubba, official Chi Town Rescue spokes-doggy, put on his best JAWS costume and jawed some biscuits for his efforts. Find your new best friend in one of our rescue dogs! All our current adoptables are listed online at www.chitownrescue.org.

P.S. Follow Bubba and his bestie, Scooter, on Instagram

Hey Buddy,

I hope you're having the best time in heaven. I wanted to let you know that I climbed up a ladder to bring you this ball. You forgot your favorite ball, but I have it with me, keeping it safe and sound. It’s the same ball you loved to chase around the yard, the one we spent countless hours playing with. I remember how your eyes would light up every time I threw it, and you'd sprint after it with all your energy, your tail wagging furiously.

I miss our playtimes and all the joy you brought into my life. The way you'd nuzzle the ball back to me, eager for another round, always brought a smile to my face. You had this incredible way of making every moment special, turning ordinary days into extraordinary ones with your boundless enthusiasm and love.

I know you're running free and happy now, in endless fields of green, where the sun always shines and there are always friends to play with. Heaven must be the perfect place for you, with all the space to run and plenty of balls to chase. Just remember, every time you catch a ball up there, I’m thinking of you and all the joy you brought into my life.

Until we meet again, keep chasing those heavenly balls and having fun. Know that you're always in my heart, and our memories together will forever be cherished. You were more than just a pet; you were my best friend, my confidant, and my source of endless happiness.

With all my love,
Your Human"

Is there anybody in the Phoenix metro area who uses this special dog food for their dog? I have a case and a half I can donate to you.

(Please don't just say yes because you want some free canned food. This is very expensive, and some dogs have to have it.)

Did you know:
If you have a pacemaker, you can put it in your Will to have your pacemaker donated to a dog in need after you pass. Pacemakers cannot be donated to another human, but they can be donated to dogs with cardiac issues who would depend on it to stay alive.
You can have the pacemaker brought to a vet of your choice. So many of those get thrown away and dogs die because people don't know they can do this. It even saves the dog's owner the cost of the actual pacemaker which sometimes means the difference in being able to afford lifesaving treatment or not.

Look at the difference 1 week made for Mama Luna and her Moon Minis !!!

Adopt - Don't - Shop

07/02/2024

Big News !!!!
Sleepy peepers 👀 finally opened between yesterday and this morning.

Both Lil' Moon Minis 🌙🌙 went for a check up today, with their mom (Luna), to the vet. All three got a clean bill of health, and dewormer treatment (just in case).

Mama Luna had blood 🩸 drawn to check for tick fever and Valley fever.
🏥
The puppies are a good weight and look healthy.
The little black one is 2.4 lbs, and the little suede brown one is 2.7 lbs. Mama Luna is now making plenty of milk for them.

After all the excitement of being loved 🥰 on at the vets office, they slept the whole way back to the rescue 😴 💤

(Today's exam and medicine cost the rescue just over $415. 💰
The intake of these three sweet darlings was not anticipated, and was not budgeted for. Our hearts were telling us the dogs mattered more than the money, and so we listened. We still have a ways to go with 2 spays, 1 Neuter, vaccines, and microchips.
If anybody would like to donate to Luna and her Mini Moons 🌙 🌙 , we would greatly appreciate it.

Our PayPal is: [email protected]. )

Please continue to follow the progress of these three darlings here
🌙💜🌙💜🌙

*** Pupdate ***
Luna and her babies seem to be very healthy. We did give all of them a deworming treatment, just in case. Luna had her blood drawn for her testing of valley, fever and fever. She was such a good girl for the whole visit
The puppies weighed in at 2.4 and 2.7 pounds

*******

Luna And her 17 day old puppies are headed to the vet for a quick little check up, along with bloodwork for Luna.

Luna had to be secured with the leash hanging out the door, because she kept crawling in my lap before I even left the parking lot

We need some good names for these little puppies - one is a boy and one is a girl

Michele is a firecracker! This wild and wonderful French Bulldog/Pug mix would love to find a home as FUN as she is! Michele is approximately one-year-old. She loves to zoom and play and has tons of energy. As crazy as she can be, she is capable of slowing things down for a cuddle and a kiss. Michele LOVES people! You can read her full bio online at www.chitownrescue.org. DM us or email [email protected] for more info/meet and greet appointment.

Pupdate 7/1/24
Dog is a female, and does not have a microchip. She also does not have a collar.  Maricopa County has been notified, and she has been posted to the stray map.

********

My husband found this dog on 31st Ave., between Indian school and Camelback, at 8 AM this morning.

Dog was panting and limping

Dog is safe with us now, and will be reported to Maricopa county and posted online within the next few hours

If anybody has availability before, then, that would be great

In a few hours, I'll be able to check to see the gender and scan for a microchip

(Also- huge kudos to my great mother-in-law, who happened to be with my husband. This was her first street rescue, and she did awesome.)

PP5 Pupdate ****

Sooooo..... this happened today. This boy was the most scared and the most noisy. He wanted everyone to know that he was afraid and not approachable.

He met his match with Linda. She fed him wet food off the end of a ruler little by little.
Then she was able to pet him with the ruler.
Then she pet his head a few times.
Next thing she knew, he jumped right in her lap. He would snuggle as closer to her as he could.

She was able to gently pet two of the others before she went home. The other dogs saw that this one was getting Linda-Love, and they were interested in that also.

The dogs also got to meet another new person today. I believe today was a great turning point for all of them.

(No microchip and not neutered. )

HUGE thank you to Lisa Walter and Lilia Mutka for the donation now and in recent recent months.
VetMedin medicine is soooo expensive, and we have five rescue dogs that take it every day.
You help me to save more dogs and give them better lives as they are Hospice Hotties.

PP5 Pupdate.....

All five have made great strides in the past two days. Four of them now no longer run under their beds when we come in to clean, feed, and give them goodies. Those four all now continue sitting on their beds, watching us while we clean. They are now very curious about us. They will be come closer to get their treats, as long as we pretend we don't see them.

The fifth one will eat from our hand while under the raised bed, but is still super nervous being in the open with us.

Meet Cheyenne! This adorable 10-year-old Chihuahua mix is equal parts sweet and sassy. She spent about six months at rescue before going into a foster-to-adopt home for the past few months. Unfortunately that family needs to re-home her now, as their baby is becoming mobile, and Cheyenne isn't such a fan. Cheyenne is a mellow and gentle dog who wants an equally chill home environment. She would do amazing as an only dog, but may also tolerate another quiet and polite dog in her new home. Cheyenne picks "her" person and will do zoomies when they come home or wake up, and bonds mostly to them. With others, she is more independent or can be shy when new people come over. Cheyenne is a gal that likes her food... and doesn't like to share (can you blame her?!). She does have some issues with resource guarding, and should be kept separate from other dogs when food or treats are around. Cheyenne may have some particular needs, but she also has a lot of love to give her special person. She would do best in a quiet home with no small children, someone who is understanding of her quirks, and someone looking for a new little BFF. Could that special someone be you? If you're interested in meeting Cheyenne for adoption, email us at [email protected]

The Preston Party of 5 (P5) are all eating and drinking well.

They are still absolutely terrified of everyone. We have separated them among 3 large dog runs that are all next to each other. This way, they can still see that they are all safe together, but give them each some more personal space.

Today we have started trying to hand feed them wet food, to gain their trust. We have an idea which two of them will give in first, and then we are hoping the others will follow their lead and then let us love on them.

Ain’t no way God told Noah to put two roaches on that boat. 😂

Five dogs were all crammed into one carrier kennel, and left in the back parking lot of Preston funeral. A good Samaritan found them while walking her dogs last night. She posted online and my husband just happened to see it at 11:00 PM, which is way past when we are normally awake.

We raced down to pick them up and get them down to safety at our rescue. The kind Samaritan was so gracious to stay with them in the heat and the dark, until help arrived.

We are calling them the P5, also known as the Preston party of five

And the last 12 hours since being rescued, they have only come out from under their dog beds to drink and eat and use the bathroom bathroom.

Stay tuned for more information as they recover......

This is going to be a large financial expenditure, that we were not planning on. if anybody would like to donate to help offset the cost so these five fur babies can go on to have successful and happy lives, please donate.

Jack of Hearts is soooo very happy in his new home.

Diego is officially adoptable! He's come such a long way and has such a fighting spirit. In case you aren't up to date on Diego's story, here it is: Diego came to rescue when his owner contacted us hoping for some help with his medical needs. Diego has lived his life as an outdoor dog, and was hit by a car back in February. When he came to Chi Town, we got him the medical care he needed and discovered he had a fractured pelvis and L7 vertebrae. He was unable to walk and we weren't sure if he ever would again. The prognosis was about 50/50 if he would need surgery vs crate rest. Even with surgery, the prognosis was only around 50% for a full recovery. We are so happy to report that Diego is a strong little guy who has made a full recovery, AND without the need for surgery! Diego now not only can walk- he can RUN! Diego is a fun and friendly dog, with an independent streak. He's happy for pets, but he also enjoys sniffing and exploring on his own. He is leash trained, and loves to play fetch with the ball (he will even drop it for you to throw again). Diego does well with the other dogs he's met at rescue and could potentially do well with your dog from home too; bring them in for an intro! If you're interested in meeting Diego for adoption, please DM us or email us at [email protected].
