Rescuing animals of all shapes and sizes in Nanjing and helping them find new homes.

Mimzy’s seizures came back but we were able to get her back on meds right quick. Hopefully her coordination improves over the next few weeks.

Last week was incredibly tough. We lost 2 of our sweeties within days of each other.

First we lost Alfie, my main house dog and best friend here in China. He’d had bladder surgery a month or so ago and developed thrombocytopenia (essentially very bad anemia) and had to be hospitalized. He came home on bedrest but a few day later his breathing became very heavy and I rushed him back to the hospital, where he unfortunately passed away rather quickly. At first the vet suspected poison but none of the other animals showed symptoms so we assume it was another complication from his surgery.

Then we lost Dimzy, our sweet little baby. Dimzy had started to struggle to eat the start of last week and got progressively worse over the following days. His already large esophagus completely dilated and the sphincter connecting it to his stomach relaxed to the point it was non-functional. In order to ease his suffering and avoid him literally starving to death even though he was eating almost constantly I made the decision to let him pass peacefully in my arms.

I don’t tell you this just to make you sad but to show the most difficult part of rescuing and loving these animals so much. Nanjing Rescues has slowed down a lot these past two years, mostly because I do pretty much everything myself. So when things like this happen, or life gets in the way, I can’t do as much as other rescue(r)s.

I try where and when I can but I am just one person trying to make a difference. Thank you for all the support you guys have given me these past 4 years, you’re the only reason we’ve been able to help almost 100 strays find such loving homes and families.

As for the future of Nanjing Rescues, I will be taking a break from taking in any new animals for the foreseeable future. I’ve been focusing on finding homes in China for the dogs and cats we already have but it’s been very rough going since COVID. If you see some of our posters, please consider sharing them in order to increase the likelihood of their forever families finding them.

Dimzy is growing into such a handsome boy!

We’ve finally figured out why he’s had so many issues eating properly and putting on weight, he has a few mouth deformities that restrict his tongue’s movement and put him at risk for infection.

We’ve been managing his condition and we are now focusing on getting him fattened up and ready for any potential surgeries in the future!

Our sweet Maude has been dealing with some bad congestion these past 2 weeks but, after a week of daily nebulizing and meds, she’s back to her old self!

Our newest arrival!

Toothless, of house Wheezus, first of his name. Lord of the gasps, protector of the lil' wheeze, father of ailments, tsar of rasps joins our fanily after a week in the vet’s getting his respiratory issues under control.

He’ll spend another week in quarantine at home before being introduced to the other animals.

Sporty Spice isn’t the most sociable dog but she still wants love. Here she is waiting for me to call her over for pets!

It’s been almost one year since her adoption and it seems we’ve finally got Maude educated on what a litter box is.

It’s been a chore and a half but worth it for our sweet little lady.

Goji and Spock have finally made it to their forever homes!

These two lucky goofballs made it safely to the US and met their family. Goji was reunited with her old foster and Spock tagged along with her. We couldn’t be happier for the pair, happy life!

Yesterday was for Scary and today is for lil miss Sporty Spice!

She’s absolutely gorgeous but is very timid. We are working on building up her courage but we love her nonetheless.

Scary Spice showing off at the Spice Girls’ birthday party.

Posh’s and Baby’s adopters threw a party to celebrate their first year and our two girls still waiting were able to join as well.

Our resident escape artist, Mimzy.

Mimzy loves being outside but doesn’t like being contained in our yard. So she often sneaks out to enjoy true freedom in our community. She does so by squeezing her chunky bod through some impressively small gaps in our fence.

Mimzy has 0 regrets and loves her freedom, even though it’s not the best thing for her safety or my anxiety.

Sorry for the lack of posts recently, I’ve had almost no free time and completely spaced. Enjoy some sassy Maude as an apology.
