Louise and Reba were rescued from a breeder in So. Missouri. We also, got the Male - Garth. We took their 5 male puppies and 1 female puppy just to make sure that they would not change their mind. Louise was the moma of the puppies and smiles from ear to ear when you talk to her. Louise & Reba are heartworm positive and we are treating them.

Joey was found "limping" along a rural road. Upon closer examination, we found that he was shot in his leg. He is a cuddler.

We drove down to Southeastern Missouri and got Boris from a shelter. One of our volunteers drove him directly to St. Louis and we took him to our veterinarian.

His urine was literally pure blood. His prostate had a wicked infection. His gums were white and tacky. He had a 104.5 fever. He had heartworms in his urine and in his stool. His tail wagged as you walk by him but he was too weak to lift his head. He was less than 2 years old.

One of our volunteers (Amber) could not leave him and stayed with him on a blanket at the veterinarian's office. Boris had 2 seizures and she put him on oxygen. He died in her arms 6 hours after we got him. He knew that someone cared. Thank you Amber and Dr Jones at the Pacific Animal Hospital.

This little guy had to have his collar surgically removed because it "grew" into his neck. Then, he was found to be heartworm positive. We went and got him before anything else could happen to him. He is as nice a critter as we have ever had. He just wants to be petted.

We will treat him for his heartworms and then we will make sure that he gets a home that deserves him.

Houston had a severely infected lesion on his neck. He was medically released to us in order to have him "checked out". We removed the wound and have sent it off for analysis.
