Tails From The Squad
February 2011


Greetings!
 

Wishing you all a wonderful Valentine's Day!  May your day be filled with good wishes and kindness and love for all living creatures.
 
5 years ago we rescued a litter of Rottweiler puppies. Among them was our special boy Pat who was diagnosed with a Grade 5 Heart Murmur.  He was given 6 months to live.  Five years later, Pat is here to say to you" From the bottom of my heart I thank Dawg Squad for taking care of me and giving me 5 fabulous years and I hope I get lots more!  HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY FROM MY HEART TO YOURS!".
 

A VALENTINE'S HEART STORY

 

Last month we told you about the hoarding situation in Mojave.   Well, we went back and rescued 4 more dogs.  Among them was an old man we are calling Mitzvah.  His story is below, but watch his video on YouTube to see where our boy came from.

Mitzvah has not had an easy life. He went from one hoarding situation to an even worse situation in the middle of the Mojave Desert. He was one of the last dogs rescued off the property.

 

Maybe he was overlooked because he was so quiet but Dawg Squad's founder couldn't get him out of her mind and went back to get him.

 

Mitzvah's right ear is mottled from ignored hematomas and he is blind in his left eye from an untreated cataract. We noticed he was limping and had X rays taken of his back left leg. It's not looking good.  Mitzvah has what is known as a synovial tumor and it is inoperable.  He must have been in so much pain.  Yet Mitzvah is loving and kind and only wants someone to love him and give him a warm bed and some good food.

  

For VALENTINE'S DAY, don't buy roses that will die, candy that will go to the hips or a dinner out that will be rushed and over priced. Use that money to make a real difference: make a donation to DAWG SQUAD in the name of the one you love and help us help Mitzvah and more dogs like him.  Saving a life is SO romantic ♥ ♥

Dear BernieDEAR BERNIE  

I wanted to thank you for letting me come and live with you.  For the first time EVER, I feel like I have a home.
Thanks,
Alexico
 


Dear Alexico,

It really wasn't MY idea...after all you are not a Rottweiler but Mom says that all neglected dogs need us and we shouldn't judge a dog by its cover.  I am glad you don't have to get food from dumpsters anymore and can have 2 square meals a day with the rest of us.  That must have been kinda rough.  Besides, you kinda fit in with the motley crew here at home....one eye, a broken tail and no fur.  Yea, you can stay until you find a home.   

People on the street where you were running around must have thought you were pretty scarey looking.  They didn't know what a pretty doggie you were inside.  (OH WOW...DID I JUST SAY THAT?)  

Don't tell any of the other Rotties that I like you, OK?  It will ruin my rep!

Love,
Bernie (hard on the outside, a mush on the inside)
