Truly a Happy Tail...er Tale from California

We recently had a darling amputee, Gus who was adopted by a super family. They fell in love with him from his picture and knew immediately he was the dog for them. Here is the story: Gus broke his leg in April 2010. The owners did not care for the leg properly; it re-broke. Poor nutrition and poor care prevented the leg bone from being viable for another surgery and inplant. The owners did not want to spend any more money on him and ordered his euthanasia. Gus is only 4 years old. A vet tech at the hospital asked her mother and the vet if they would help save Gus. Mom called me and together we all agreed. The owners agreed to sign him over to the vet who then performed the amputation. The vet tech cared for him until the surgery had healed then released him to IGCA. The family was waiting on their front lawn when I drove up for their first meeting. While waiting for his arrival they chose a new name, Zach. After an extensive dental he was ready to go to his new family. Gus...now Zach...is in a loving home where he is adored. This is truly a happy tail ... er tale from California!!!!

Triplet

In late May we got an urgent email about a dog with a leg break gone very wrong. After speaking with the owner, it was clear that the dog was suffering and probably didn't have much time left. We were able to get the dog across state in less than 24 hours with an amazing volunteer transport. His leg had been splinted, and he had chewed through the splint into his leg. The infection had been ongoing for about a month. His condition was horrifying. We named him Triplet - Trip for short and the morning after he came into rescue he had his leg amputated to save his life. The vets that worked on him said he wouldn't have had much longer. Trip was a different dog as soon as his leg was removed, happy, goofy, and acting like you would expect a 10 month old pup to behave! He was a joy in his foster home...... an absolutely wonderful dog. His new adoptive home adores him, and report they have visitors that come just to see Trip!

Without rescue this gorgeous, wonderful dog would have continued to suffer, and likely would have died. Now he has an amazing second chance.

Where does your money go? Who does it help? 2010 is a year filled with heartaches and huge expenses, wont you help?

How do we take one scared little girl and make her ready for her forever home?

It was 2009 and Emily was a two-year old Italian Greyhound. She was surrendered to Italian Greyhound Rescue the day after Christmas 2009.

Extremely thin and afraid, her first days in rescue were a bit traumatic for her.

But soon she began to thrive in her new healthy and loving environment. Her story has a very happy ending, thanks to Italian Greyhound Rescue.

Your time and generosity will help many needy little IGs receive the care and love they deserve.
