Update on Hawk and Conrad (2 of the 7 Arkansas Eskies). These boys are twins, they are so bonded. Thank you, Amy and Scott, for these awesome pictures. Foster Mom Amy reports they love to watch TV! And with being heartworm positive they will need restricted activity for a while. So watching TV will be helpful! Thank you, Amy and Scott, looks like they are getting better every day. And thank you for your double duty. They are precious.

Happy National Dog Day! Bella wishes everyone a wonderful day with their best friends!

Hawk and Conrad, the other two Eskies of the Arkansas (Magnificent) 7! Thank you so much to Amy and Scott for fostering the two boys, Hawk and Conrad. These two are so bonded we didn't want to separate them so Amy and Scott took both! Thank you so much for taking two. Both boys are on medications for giardia and are heartworm positive same as all of the Arkansas 7. Four females went to Houston Eskimo Rescue and they also are heartworm positive. They all have fly bitten ears. These two boys are already looking better! They all had baths and look beautiful. Thank you to everyone who helped with these terrific Arkansas 7!

Famous "Amos," one of the Arkansas 7 is in his foster home with Foster Dad Robert. Amos is coming along and learning to live in a home. He has giardia, coccidia, ear infections, and is heartworm positive. Amos is on the mend and once he has completed his heartworm treatment he can be neutered. And he can't be neutered until after his heartworm treatment. It's a long process but the heartworm treatment will save his life. Thank you to Robert and everyone who has helped Amos! He is really an easy-going Eskie. Thank you to Robert and Boris for taking care of "Famous Amos!"

We lost our sweet Ernie today (8/24/2024). Ernie was rescued from a shelter in Missouri. He had been found roaming the streets. When Ernie came in, he was coughing and after running tests we found out he had a collapsing trachea condition. Sometimes it was hard for him to breathe. Then, he began having neurological symptoms of his head and spine. We did not want Ernie to suffer any longer. Thank you to his Foster Mom, Cyndy, who showed Ernie lots of love and gave him a wonderful home. Sad day for us but we know he's out of pain. Thank you to Dr. Bilyk at Tri-City Animal & Bird Clinic for doing all she could for Mr. Ernie. He will not be forgotten.

FOSTER HOMES NEEDED! Three boys (one to two years old) are arriving to American Eskimo Rescue St. Louis from Pine Bluff, Arkansas. All three are HEARTWORM POSITIVE (not contagious to other pets). And we need foster homes for them. All three are up to date on vaccinations. They are not aggressive but unsocialized. Fosters will need a fenced yard, a training (long line and harness) to take them outside. Another dog in the household would really help. If interested in helping these sweet pups, please email [email protected] or 314-647-1112. Thank you so much. Let's give these pups the life they really deserve! Thank you! You are appreciated!!

Jax Update: Jax has been diagnosed with Fanconi Sydrome. We were waiting for tests results from Dr. Howard at Veterinarian Specialty Services (VSS). The test took several weeks to receive results, and he does have this disease. Jax is only two years old. Here's a link to the syndrome https://cvm.missouri.edu/research/canine-genetic-disease-network/fanconi-syndrome/ Jax will be on medications and supplements the rest of his life and will need blood and urine checks on a regular basis. Thank you to Jax's Foster Parents, Ben and Brandi, for really taking care of Jax. He is having a wonderful time playing with his buddies too. So far he's feeling fine. Jax's next check-ups will be in December. Jax is a great guy! Thank you Brandi and Ben!!

SAFE AND RESCUED!
NEED ONE MORE FOSTER HOME PLEASE!! Expenses are covered and so is food. Fenced yard will be necessary.
********************************
Foster homes needed to spare the Eskies in the Arkansas Shelter (see below). This is a picture of the females. There are a total of seven: four females, three males. They will be fully vetted, spayed/neutered, and all medical expenses paid. They are all young! See original post for more information.

A HUGE THANK YOU to Ben and Brandi for fostering Jax! He's doing fantastic in his new foster home. Jax now has three housemates: Hanx (Eskie), Khloe (Kitty), and Lux (Golden Retriever). Jax has some fun playmates! We are still working on his medical condition which is going well. We're waiting results of his Fanconi Syndrome disease test, and if it is positive he may need to take supportive medications and will live a good life. Thank you, Ben and Brandi, for taking this wonderful boy into your wonderful home! Jax is having the best time of his life!

Update on Ernie. Ernie recently had an appointment with a specialist at Veterinary Specialty Services (VSS). When we rescued Ernie, he was coughing quite a bit, and since he came from a shelter, kennel cough was suspected. Ernie was on medication, but the cough never went away. Dr. Graham performed a video x-ray of Ernie’s throat and trachea. His diagnosis is chronic tracheal collapse. It is a progressive disease of the trachea (windpipe) that causes a persistent, harsh, and dry cough, sometimes described as a “goose-honking” cough. Since Ernie has this medical condition, he will remain in long-term foster care with his Foster Mom, Cyndy. Ernie loves her and vice versa. Ernie’s condition will be managed with medications, and he is doing better. Thank you to Cyndy for taking such loving care of Ernie, getting him to and from doctor appointments, and managing his medication routine. It takes time and dedication to take care of these wonderful senior dogs that are rescued with medical issues. You might recall that Ernie was let go by his owners who moved and left him wandering the streets. Neighbors were feeding him until he went to a shelter, and the shelter contacted us to see if we could help. With your donations, we can provide these dogs with medications and give them the life they deserve so they can feel better and have someone love them. Thank you from the bottom of our Hearts for your donations that help so many of these neglected dogs.

Update on Jax: Jax needs a medical foster home. He may have a condition called "Fanconi Syndrome." There are several situations that can cause this syndrome. To read about it here is a link: https://cvm.missouri.edu/research/canine-genetic-disease-network/fanconi-syndrome/ -- Jax had multiple blood tests and urine tests but the condition has not changed (he has a high sugar level in his urine, but normal sugar level in his bloodwork). He will need to see a specialist for further testing. Jax is two years old and about 25 pounds. A medical foster home means that the foster may need to help with continued vet visits. Jax will need to be monitored for any changes too, such as drinking more, low energy, and just not feeling well. As of now, he is doing great and has good energy. If you are interested in helping Jax, please call 314-647-1112 or [email protected] -- Jax has had a lot of interest, but we need to get a confirmed diagnosis. All medical bills will be covered by the rescue while he is fostered. A fenced yard would be necessary. Thank you for your help!

NEEDED: FOSTER FAMILY FOR JAX. He is two years old, 28 pounds, neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and mostly housebroken. JAX was left outside most of the days at his last home. He needs a foster family that can help him learn to live inside. JAX is high energy so he will need exercise such as walking, playing with other dogs, chasing the ball. JAX is sweet, a hugger, and a busy boy. He is fearful of small children so children 12 and over. Training can be provided for JAX. If you are willing to help JAX, please call 314-647-1112, [email protected] or PM here. We will keep JAX in the St. Louis area for now. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. JAX is a nice standard male American Eskimo dog also available for adoption!

Welcome Zappa! This is the little guy from Columbia, MO. He is about 17 pounds and around 6-7 years old. Zappa was found as a stray. Zappa is shy/timid and slow to get used to new people. He’s just scared but no aggression. He is learning to walk on a leash. Someone with patience will need to adopt this boy and be careful with him until he gets to know his people and his situation. A fenced yard will be needed. He is very, very sweet and will learn quickly. He is a curious little guy too. If you are interested in adopting this boy, please call 314-647-1112, email [email protected] or submit an application at www.eskierescuestl.org – thank you!

Ernie had another vet visit yesterday, and he has a medical issue we are still working on. We're treating him with medications, and he could be older than we originally thought. He is a happy boy. Here he is back at his pool side SPA (after his vet visit) with his Foster Mom Cyndy! Thank you, Cyndy, for taking care of this special guy! Cyndy and Ernie are best of buddies! He's living the life after being evicted from his past home and roaming the streets!

This is a new picture of Ernie. He is a senior who came to our rescue and he has had some major health problems going on that we're still working on. Cyndy, Foster Mom, took this cute picture of Ernie. He is doing a little better. He had some really bad teeth that had to be removed. We're still working on his cough. Thank you, Cyndy, for taking care of this very cute Ernie! He is doing better and loves his new home!
