Gracie Lou really seems to enjoy her bath time - and her cuddles and warm towel dry afterwards. She’s looking all shiny in her new sweater too. For additional info about Gracie, please visit: https://www.westportwasa.org/adopt/available-dogs/

WASA would like to thank the kind folks at Gilbertie’s (https://www.gilbertiesorganics.com/) for their generous donation to the “Nala Fund” (previous post), our friend in need of extensive surgery. We stopped by yesterday to pick up the donation - and to take in the beauty of their holiday displays and merchandise. We thank them for their continued support of WASA. Such a gem to have in the Town of Westport. And, as a reminder, the Westport store is also the site for the winter season of the Westport Farmers’ Market (https://www.westportfarmersmarket.com/). We can’t wait. If you would like to support WASA in regard to the dogs we assist in CT, like Nala, please visit: https://www.westportwasa.org/donate/

Bought my mittens today to support Earth Animal’s (925 Post Road East, Westport) The Mitten Project. So many lovely designs and colors - and quite perfect for those with dogs to walk! The store is decorated so beautifully too! Stop by and show your support. Quite an amazing effort on their part to feed the hungry in CT!

COMMUNITY OUTREACH: Help us give Nala a second chance.
Nala’s new owner inherited her from a friend. All was well until she developed medical issues due to not being spayed.
Instead of leading with judgment, we chose to lead with compassion and consideration. Given the circumstances that Nala is not dog friendly and a bully breed she could have ended up in terrible situations.
With the support of Dr. Duffy and the team at Norwalk Veterinary Hospital, Nala will need to undergo complex surgery to address her condition and be spayed. This procedure is her only hope for a pain-free life. Please open your heart and help us cover Nala’s vital surgical costs. Every dollar is a direct investment in her future.
Help us fund Nala's life-saving surgery by donating: https://www.westportwasa.org/donate/

UPDATE. After living outdoors in a pen and shed, Rory, not yet a year, was surrendered to WASA, thank goodness. We brought him up to date on his vet care including neuter surgery and microchip. He also tested as a high positive for Lyme disease, and he was prescribed a course of antibiotics. Rory, now Roscoe, was adopted by pet parents that are very familiar with the breed - which is a very good thing. They weren’t surprised by his Shiba quirks - both nice and naughty - that make having a Shiba as a family member both rewarding - and challenging. We thank them for opening their hearts and home to our friend, a friend who now knows what it means to be a beloved INDOOR pet.

Good news for Gracie Lou (https:// www.westportwasa.org/adopt/available-
dogs/)! WASA transported and funded her cardiology consult (assessment, electrocardiogram, echocardiogram) with Dr.
Goodwin at the VCA in Norwalk. She has been cleared for anesthesia in regard to an upcoming WASA-funded dental. She also was presented with a few new sweaters.
Look for her soon-to-be posted glamour shots. To support WASA in its mission to come to the rescue of abandoned pets in CT, please visit: https://www.westportwasa.org/donate/

If you were driving to work this morning, 11/3, via the Merritt you may have seen or passed by an injured barred owl in Westport. One cape-less commuter and brave wildlife hero picked him up and transported him to the kind and knowledgeable staff of Wildlife in Crisis (https://wildlifeincrisis.org/). Peter Reid, intake director (and Westport Animal Control Officer) reports he appears concussed but presents with no apparent bodily injuries. Thank you to the rescuer and Wildlife in Crisis.

Stunning, right? Our beautiful Ginger continues to await her forever home. She is beautifully trained and enjoys car trips. She enjoys the company of other dogs. Ideally her new home environment should include a fenced-in yard where she can play fetch with her people. For additional info about Ginger, please visit: https://www.westportwasa.org/adopt/available-dogs/.
