‼️WARNING‼️ May be a hard read for some. Please SHARE & DONATE.
A post with a plea for rescue, 3,500 shares and almost 1000 comments. Yet, there was no rescue interest and less than $100 in pledges. The shelter notes cautioned the inability to handle this puppy.
We partnered with @baloojasfoundation who we have had the honor of saving lives with multiple times this year and went to meet Higgins.
It is ‼️IMPORTANT‼️to note a few things:
1) Shelters are NOT training facilities and cannot take the time to leash train dogs/pups that come in.
2) It is very common for pups that come out of any shelter to be scared of being on a leash, going in and out of kennels/doorways/vehicles.
The shelter would not allow us to eval, only look at him in his kennel. He willingly came up and greeted us, taking treats gently through the kennel bars.
So, an eval turned into a rescue. Higgins, now Koda, was the newest DFAM/Balooja Foundation dog!
The staff had trouble handling him continually from the time he was caught as a stray to the shelter staff trying to load him into our @transk9usa. Koda didn’t understand they were trying to help him and would only fight for his life . By the time they got him loaded (they would NOT allow us to touch him) Koda was in our kennel with TWO slip leads still on him, a chain leash made into a slip lead AND another slip lead. Neither of which were releasing.
Once we had him in our possession, we quickly noticed his right eye was bloodshot and not dilating or tracking at the same rate or his left. Upon veterinary exam he is found to have neurological symptoms caused by asphyxiation due to tracheal restriction and not enough oxygen.😭 No wonder he was fighting for his life!!!
This poor puppy has severe leash trauma, causing the reactive behaviors described. Koda received treatment for his neurological symptoms.
He will require continued medical care and but is expected to make a full recovery.

🌟Adopters receive a month of free obedience training with I Heart K9🌟
Fun, playful and loving. This girl is very intelligent, easy to train and food motivated. She love affection and playing in water. Will make wonderful family pet for active families looking for a pet to go on adventures with them. She's also excellent prospects for sports such as rally, dock diving, fetch, FastCat, barn hunt, agility, obedience and more.
She's from the Royal litter who are all IN NEED of their furever homes! At this age it is VERY IMPORTANT to learn how to be independent away from the litter, get out and about to continue their socialization and desensitizing, as well as start their obedience training. This is why it is important for the pups to be in their furever homes.

⭐️WE NEED YOU⭐️ DFAM has some volunteer roles that need to be filled by COMMITTED individuals who want to make a difference!Delta Force Animal Mission is 100% volunteer based and 100% reliant on donations and sponsorships from individuals and businesses. This insures 100% of proceeds go directly to the care, training and medical expenses of the dogs in our program. DFAM is different than most rescues of working breed dogs, as we are understand their needs, their drive, different types and levels of drive, educate adopters and the public, evaluate, provide the needed training and proper working outlets for the dogs who need it. Then we properly match adopters with dogs that fit their lifestyle and needs. We don’t just SAVE LIVES, we stop the cycle of dogs returning to the shelters in the future. We are not your average rescue trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. We want all our dogs to live their best, fulfilled lives! Because we are 100% dependent onvolunteers, it is extremely important that those applying are committed to their stated availability, dependable, self motivated and work well with others. Our volunteers and dogs depend on it. The dogs and other volunteers suffer when there is no follow through. Working with our 501c3 nonprofit is not only extremely rewarding, but a great way to give back, get a lot of experience working with/training/handling different dogs and/or building experience for your resume. We have positions that can be done remotely and do not require working with dogs as well.If you are interested in applying, please use the link in our BIO on Instagram or in the ABOUT section on Facebook. There are position descriptions you can read through and access to the volunteer application. We all work well together and are like family. We don’t deal with drama or negativity.
