Sweet Cammi needs a Foster
Can you help Cammi be less afraid???
 |
Cammi is a very submissive girl who loves other
dogs, a perfect home for her
would be a quiet one with another dog. Cammi is approximately 6 years old and a Dal-mix (maybe with hound). She is petite at around 35 pounds. We had her checked over and she is healthy, but needs a lot of love to feel
secure. Cammi adores belly rubs. Currently, Cammi is being boarded at Paw Prince's kennel, which is a big expense for DRTB. We think she needs a very special home to learn not all people
want to hurt her and to help her build her confidence so that we can find a permanent place for her. Can you be the one to make her feel safe again?
Wouldn't you like to put a smile on Cammi's face???

It's DRTB to the Rescue...
Maya's living conditions before rescue  | Sometimes signs of neglect or abuse aren't obvious, but if you look at this picture of poor Maya's living conditions that was taken at the time of her rescue, you'd know something was terribly wrong. Horribly emaciated, without any shelter or shade within her reach, no food or water until a neighbor brought her an orange bucket of water and food dish, and a chain that kept her tethered to her misery inside
the dirt circle she paced. Her physical condition was dire, as she required immediate treatment for a severe case of heartworms.
Her life had no hope except for rescue... which is where we came in. Judy F. is an amazing foster in Homosassa that has taken on Maya's rehabilitation. Maya has gained weight and begun treatment for heartworms though her treatment is high risk. Maya has had to relearn house-training and her previous life has left her quite anxious. It is hard work for a foster and Judy has done her best with the situation. However, it would be a great help if some volunteers would be able to give Judy some relief. Please email daldogrescue@yahoo.com if you can lend a hand.
Maya at in-take & severely underweight.

So far in 2010,
we have rescued 26 new Dals/dogs beyond the 16 dogs we had from the previous year (1 stayed with her family and 3 are now care-for-life). We have found new homes for 24 dogs of which 1 was a direct
referral to the shelter for adoption and added 3 more care-for-lifers. Currently, we have nearly 30 Dals & dogs
under our care.
Those Dals & dogs that are still seeking forever homes are:
-
MilkNCookie from Jax a 10 year old
- Prudence a 7-9 year old girl now ready for her new home
- Chester a 3-year-old Dal-mix boy out of Orange County free of heartworms & ready for a home
- Panda a special needs girl with bad knees from Citrus County who is ~6-years-old
- Halligan a 6-year-old who was surrendered to a shelter because the family "downsized" their dogs because of another baby... Hallie shed :(
- Maya a young abuse-case from Citrus County who is now undergoing heartworm treatment & rehab
- Savannah a 3-year-old Dal-mix from Brevard
- Molly from Polk is 2-3 years old an looking for a family with kids and a playmate
- Pepper a cute, 7-month-old Dal-JRT mix from Americus
- Marx a young HW+ male
- Cammi, a GA Dal-mix deemed unadoptable because she wasn't "pretty enough"
- Rascal, a young 5-month-old maybe Border Collie/Dal-mix... he's really cute
- Apallo from Jax is now free of heartworms and looking for his forever home
- Taffie a 7-month-old Whippet/JRT mix with spots from GA
Apallo (not a typo) is such a happy boy!  |
- Carter, a young American Bulldog
- Tuck, a 14-month-old Dal/Am Bulldog seized in a neglect case
PLEASE let us know if you can help these dogs
with a loving home or getting them to events so that they might get
adopted!

An EVENTful Month!
MaryEllen, Savannah, Frank, & Hudson are ready to
"Let the Sunshine In"!  | It seems like DRTB was on the go all month long trying out some unique pet events. We participated in the first Talking Animals Festival held at Lowry Park Zoo that was well attended. The New Barker Magazine invited us to join them at The American Stage in the Park's Presentation of HAIR. It was the first time they allowed pets to attend. We had a real groovy time with Mary Ellen and her foster Savannah & Frank who brought little Hudson. Both dogs were well behaved, though Hudson wanted to chime in and sing chorus!

 | Media darling Hudson got another 5 minutes of fame doing a promo spot for TampaPets! Adoption Expo at Channel 28 (Hallie got her moment of fame with Q105). It was fun to get a glimpse behind the scenes of a TV news broadcast. Cutie Hudson got up close & personal with the news desk anchors, John Thomas, & Ellen McNamara. Later he joined Kelly for her interview with weatherman Bill Logan. Now if we can only convince him not to chew the set on camera!
You never know what path rescue will lead you! |
