Aussie and Me Animal Rescue & Country Dawgs Animal Sanctuary

21/10/2025

Yesterday, Elvis and I drove to get our monthly pallet of feed for the animals. It was a big day for both of us as I made the decision to say goodbye to Elvis and move him to my senior black dog preferably sanctuary foster home.

Elvis is an older guy at 15+ years young. He's been with me for 1 1/2 years after his only ever owner passed away and the son then dropped Elvis at the shelter. I always envisioned Elvis being in the shotgun seat of a pickup, lounging carefree on the porch or dirt hole (he loves a good dirt hole), and wandering beside his person around the country property and home. He has that now. Although it was hard to say goodbye, I know this is what was best for him. The extra bonus is he has a kitty friend that makes him happy.

Happy retirement life Elvis. I miss you but you've got a fantastic and loving home now. Enjoy the porch. ~Karen

Wyatt and Raina, the first of 8 scheduled for spay and neuter surgeries, had their big day yesterday. Wyatt's vetting was text book, but unfortunately for Raina, things were a bit more for her. She had and abnormal uterus, a large umbilical hernia, in heat (just started), and diagnosed heartworm positive. She is resting comfortably on meds. I will start her heartworm treatment immediately. Raina really needs a foster or forever home where there are no other dogs and she can rest and recover.

Thank you to all that donated to our spay and neuter fundraiser. You made it happen! 10 dogs will finish their vetting then be able to start their new lives with new families.

Harley and Hudson, just 2 of the 7 puppies of Piper (adopted over the weekend) are ready for their forever homes. These puppies are smart, playful, good with other animals, and super lovable. They are doing good on house and crate training. They are currently being fostered in North Florida.

If you are interested in Harley or Hudson, or anyone the other puppies, start by filling out the online application at www.aussieandme.org

A big congratulations to Piper, the momma to our puppies, for landing herself the perfect family. Never again will she live outside on a chain to be bred repeatedly by the neighborhood male dogs. Her new 4 legged brother is Maverick (Matty) who was adopted last year through Aussie And Me. ♡ This just really warms my heart seeing all the smiles.

We are now only $180 away from meeting our spay/neuter/vetting goal for 10 dogs. We have a donor who will match our goal up to $2,000. Come on everyone! We can do this for the pups! This matching is a gift we need right now for additional vetting and supplies.

SPAY AND NEUTER SPONSORS NEEDED
I found a clinic willing to work with us and below is the list of pups in rescue that are scheduled to be spayed and neutered. We are desperate for sponsors to get their surgeries so they can then be available for adoption. Any amount will help. Please let us know which pup you would like your donation to be applied to. I will update the needed amounts as donations come in. PLEASE help us to help these pups start their new lives.

Total Still Needed for Goal - $205

I use the Hoover Hard Floor Cleaner EVERY DAY - MANY times per day. I have a bad shoulder from how much I use these things. If I didn't have one or two on hand all the time, my life would by mop hell horrible. I have tried them all and this one has always worked the best. I always (until now) have a back up or two stashed away due to the amount I do use them and the small motor not meant to be used as much as I do. I ALWAYS take the extended warranty and Hoover is great about replacing them. BUT, the one I have now I can tell by the sound the motor has about maybe 30 more days and the warranty has since expired.

I'm in need of a few of these. For my sanity and the sanitary of my floors and kennel room, I really need a few. If you can sponsor a floor cleaner, please do take the extended warranty too as I go through about one every 6 months and Hoover will replace with the extended warranty, making these last me a few years. They are the best for what I need with the dogs and their grossness. Anyone that has been here knows how much I use these machines. I generally have one in the kennel room and one in the house.

Thank you in advance! ~Karen

Another 2 hours of driving but the boys, Thunder and Lightning, are home from the vet after losing their prized jewels. Now to work on socialization and finding them their forever homes that understands the needed patience to work with undersocialized and shy Aussies. They are still young, at only 9 1/2 months, so I expect them to flourish once they gain confidence.

Applications are being accepted at www.aussieandme.org although the boys will not be available for a few more weeks. We will take our time to find them their perfect forever homes. They are located in North Florida.
