HELP “D.O.G. - the dog”. I was contacted by a foster rescue about D.O.G.. "D.O.G. is losing weight to the tune of about 5 pounds per month, vomiting & diarrhea". Prior blood work and x-rays were done and a tumor was suspected. I wanted to bring D.O.G. up to Prescott to get the remainder of his medical work and a diagnosis. A band of determined women got together and arranged a relay transport to Prescott. Once arriving in Prescott, he had an ultrasound and D.O.G. had a mass in his abdomen which was causing a blockage in his intestines. It could be cancer or it could be benign. We won’t know unless they go in and take a look. D.O.G. is only eight years old at the most, feels great, has a great disposition and is a happy guy. After some discussion, we decided that D.O.G. deserves a chance. I accompanied him into surgery performed by Dr. Joy at Harmony Vet Care. D.O.G. had a "resection" of his intestines removing the large growth that unfortunately tuned out to be cancer. He also tested positive for heartworm. We are beefing up his immune system to keep the cancer at bay and treating him via the slow kill method for heartworm. He’s going to live out his best days here at Dogtree Pines and will be spoiled every day knowing that his time is limited. D.O.G. has gained substantial weight and is living his best life at Dogtree Pines.
Louie was rescued from the euthanasia list at Maricopa County Animal Control in Phoenix. He is 12 years old and has an unresolved upper respiratory infection and a bad heart murmur. Louie was down to his last few days and was deteriorating in his isolation kennel. With the help of Tucson Wet Cold Noses Rescue, Terri Goddard and a few great volunteers, Nicole and Laurie, we put a plan together and Louie arrived in Prescott later that day. Louie went straight to Prescott Animal Hospital to be treated and boarded until he is healthy enough to come home to Dogtree Pines. Louie is a lover and wants to kiss all the ladies. We wish Louie a quick recovery so he can start living his best life at Dogtree Pines.
HEARTBREAKER ALERT! This tender gal recently came to PACC after being found by a kind person and she sure could use a loving home quick. She’s 10 years old and possibly blind with a bunch of other medical issues going on including: arthritis, hair loss, underweight, ear infection, dental disease, and a small mass on her stomach.
This sweet and delicate girl just wants a soft, warm bed and a calm place to relax and be cared for. She’s a gentle special soul who appreciates human companionship and being touched and doted on. She spends much of her time quietly snoozing in her blankets but she also enjoys going for leisurely strolls outside for some fresh air and potty breaks. She also has a good appetite and enjoys hot dogs and string cheese broken into small pieces.
Rescue takes a village. Hope Sanctuary and Rescue pulled her so she was safe. Niche Greyhouse arranged pick up. Volunteer, Lesley, that is now living in New Mexico, called on a friend in Tucson that will be driving the first leg. Volunteer Donnelle & friend will be driving the second leg up to Prescott. Frosty was cleaning house tomorrow getting ready for his new lady friend to arrive. After enduring a long day of travel, this pretty lady that we have named Bertie is safe at Dogtree Pines. She is a total and complete sweetheart.
One-eyed-Jack is an interesting story. He was found wandering and homeless in AshFork, AZ. A trapping group was called to rescue him but they had no fosters so he went straight to boarding at Prescott Animal Hospital. I was called because he was reported to be an "old dog". I went to meet him at PAH and knew immediately that he was not very old. I left him there only to return a week later and decided to foster him. He was not a good candidate for Dogtree Pines but the thought of him just sitting in boarding day after day didn't sit well with me. Jack (then Sarge) is deaf as well as blind in one eye, with a crushed skull injury over the other eye. Once I got him home, I realized he was much younger than once thought, only about 2 or 3. We took him to several adoption events. Everyone loves him but is afraid of the commitment of a "special needs" dog. After several months, One-eyed-Jack officially became one of the Dogtree Pines pack and moved into a wonderful foster home in Prescott Valley where he has 3 other sibling dogs.
One-Eyed Jack is fostered by Matt & Megan.
Shasta came to us from a family with medical problems that could no longer keep her. Maven was said to be a black lab (her pics looked like it too) but when we arrived she was more Great Dane than lab. That's ok! Shasta needed us and we were going to help. Raven had the WORST dental disease and grumpy because of it. She also had some pretty severely arthritic knees. Raven got the dental she needed and also received PRP (Platlet Rich Plasma) in her knees. She is feeling like a million bucks and loves her new foster Mark. He even takes her walking at the courthouse square. Yay for Shasta!
Shasta is fostered by Volunteer Mark.
Salli is home and her new name is "Wednesday"! I believe she responds to her name and may have had it since she was young. See… She was originally adopted from Pinal (Casa Grande) in 2009 and then picked up a month ago as a stray and never claimed. We believe she may have been Alli all those years so, I decided just to add an “S” on and call her SALLI. She was absolutely the perfect passenger all the way home. Once here, she explored the yard and looked over at the 14 dogs on the other side of the fence. As it turns out she LOVES people but isn't particularly fond of other dogs. Salli went to a great foster that doesn't have another dog but rather a cat that Salli gets along with perfectly. When she showed up in her skull and cross bones sweater, they named her Wednesday Adams. Little Wednesday has found her nitch! She is a total sweetheart. Wednesday is fostered by Sukey & Eric.
