We know accidents happen! Keep those fur babies safe this holiday season! 🚫🍫

During the holidays, dogs are 4 times more likely to get into chocolate. Whether they’ve eaten a little or a lot. it’s important to call Pet Poison Helpline and your veterinarian (or Smart.Vet if your vet is closed) as soon as possible to determine the best course of action. The type of chocolate and your dog’s size has a major impact on what you’ll need to do, but ALWAYS call pet poison control to get professional advice.

Symptoms of theobromine poisoning (also called chocolate or cocoa poisoning) include: vomiting and diarrhea, excess thirst and urination, tremors and muscle spasms, restlessness, panting, and seizures. Dark and baking chocolate, which have the highest concentration of cocoa, are the most dangerous, followed by semi-sweet and milk chocolate.

The best thing you can do for your pets is keep chocolate and baked goods including chocolate well out of your pup’s reach… including wrapped gifts under the tree! 🎁

** This post does not constitute veterinary advice and you should always contact your pets veterinarian and pet poison control if they have eaten anything, in any quantity, out of the ordinary **

Happy Monday! Please consider donating to help us afford veterinary care for seniors Esther & Isaiah 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

14/12/2024

🔔 As we come to close the year we need to do one last (hopefully) call for donations! 🔔

Our seniors Isaiah and Esther came to us from El Paso in October and have been lovingly nurtured back to health by their foster Theda. This is a case of “neglect comes in many forms” as we knew when we took them in the previous owner had essentially forgotten about them. Isaiah was way over fed on fatty foods and Esther wayyyy too skinny. Both covered in lumps and bumps, they had not seen a vet in 5 years.

At this time we don't know full prognosis but we would like to get all the lumps tested. This is going to cost about $2k per dog. Unfortunately, there are a lot of possible tumors to test on both dogs. We can't thank their foster enough for supporting these sweet seniors. They were clearly attention starved and had no manners, and now are doing much better!

Esther & Isaiah are not currently available for adoption until we have a better idea what their futures look like after testing. MHWR is invested in giving them the best life possible with whatever time they have left in case we get the worst news. They are a bonded pair that love to go on walks and get snuggles from their people. They still have naughty streaks — Isaiah loves to steal butter off the counter if it’s left out!

We know how hard this is as a time to give. Anything helps!

💜 Adopt 8-week old LULU!!!!

Lulu came to us from El Paso and is looking for her forever home! Her mother is a Weim and we think Dad was a lab. She’s already super smart and extremely cuddly! We think she’ll be about 50lbs when full grown. Lulu is safe in a foster home.

If you’re interested in a new furry family member to ring in 2025, please complete an application at MHWR.org/info! If you’re already approved, comment below and we’ll be in touch.

🎄Please keep in mind puppies are not Christmas toys, they are lifetime commitments. 🎁

🎉 The El Paso 4 arrived super late on Sunday!!! This took a ton of coordination that all fell together in an unbelievably perfect way! Huge thank you to:

🚘 Kate and Aric for making a marathon freedom drive to Albuquerque and back at the last minute

🐾 Lizz and Loretta with Weimaraner Rescue of Texas for making tons of coordinating phone calls

🐾 Karen from Pawsitive Rescuers of El Paso for picking them up and housing them

🐾 Violet with Santa Teresa Lost & Found Rescue for initiating the relay

💙 Amazing fosters who stepped up to house these pups despite unknown health status!

We had no idea what health state they would be in. Definitely malnourished and happy to be inside for the first time in their lives. Puppies have adopters waiting but if you are interested in Thomas, 6yr old male or Echo, 4 yr old female, please apply! They will be ready to leave foster care as soon as the are healthy!

Thank to everyone who shared and assisted — fostering and transporting saves lives!

🩵 Update on the senior bonded pair that arrived in October! 🩵

Ester and Isaiah have settled into their foster home and their wonderful foster Theda has been working miracles. Both had a bunch of minor medical issues to work through (weight, ear infections, feet infections, eye goop etc) and are headed to the specialist vet to check their lumps and bumps later this week. Keep fingers crossed for them that all goes well!!

They are a lovely pair! They have learned to be patient at meal time, walk delightfully on a leash and are, of course, master cuddlers. We are all keeping fingers crossed the vet gives them a clean bill of health.

All the money we raise through our fundraisers goes to help Weims like these two — thank you for supporting the work we do!
