Animals

VIDALIA, GA....Peter is an adorable 4-month-old Chihuahua Mix picked up on the side of the road. Peter could not walk because of breaks in the front and rear legs.   Animal Control and a local Rescue were contacted to see if anyone could help this poor, broken Angel.  Animal Control contacted Peter's owners, and they refused to take responsibility for his medical needs.  

BEAUFORT, SC....Elsa is a 2-year-old Yorkie Mix that was brought to Beaufort County Animal Care Services to be put to sleep.  Elsa had suddenly developed rear limb paralysis.  I asked many questions to determine if the dog had been hurt by accident but did not get much information.  The Owners did not want to pursue medical care and wanted her put to sleep.  I had them sign Elsa over to BCACS so we could help this special pup.  We also asked the owners for her shot records, and they did not have any.  The top left photo is how Elsa looked when she arrived.  She was matted and was a mess.

PEACHTREE CITY, GA......Adorable Minnie is a two-year-old Minnie Aussie that was hit by a car after a family member left the dog outside on a busy street. The person when back inside, and when he came out again, he noticed Minnie was limping. He later noticed she had blood on her body and took her to the vet. The Family could not afford the medical bills for her surgery, and the only option they had to save her was to sign her over to a reputable group.

ANDERSON COUNTY, SC......We are the last resort for most animals we take on. The thinking behind No Hope for certain animals is healthy dogs and cats are euthanized by the hundreds daily in this country. Rescues and Humane Societies would prefer to save a healthy animal than put time, resources, and money into an animal that is hurt or abused. I believe every animal deserves a chance at a better life, so I take the ones no one else wants.

FLORENCE, SC......Almost all of our loyal followers and supporters would do anything in the World for their loving pets.  They are members of the Family and are cherished.  When I get a text or e-mail from a Rescue Group that needs help with someone's family pet, I stop to get all of the facts.  Does the Family need financial assistance to get their pet well?  Do they need help and are not sure how to get the proper medical care?  The list goes on and on.  The ultimate goal is the welfare of the animal.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and New Year and is ready to take on 2022.  It seems like everywhere we look, Covid Cases surround us.  We have 32 dogs in our care and four people looking after them; we cannot afford for anyone to get sick.  We take every precaution imaginable, but eventually, it will be at our door.

I wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a wonderful Holiday filled with much Joy and Laughter. The last two years have been difficult at best. People's homes and livelihoods have been lost with no hope of returning.  In the midst of all the hardships, there is always a glimmer of Hope.  I have chosen not to post as many animals due to the difficulties people face.  We are still taking in abused animals, supplying surgery and medical care, and finding homes for those we do not have room for.
