Don’t forget to tell all your friends..

Chicklet is ready for a home.

Guess who’s…Back in the GAME!

He’s up…he’s at  em…he is ready to p-a-r-t-y!!!!!!!

He thanks everyone from the bottom of his little heart for giving him the opportunity to be a happy, loved dog. Completely free of pain, heartache, abuse and neglect.

He needs only one more thing…the loving home of his own.

It is the most important part of the whole rehabilitation.

Please contact us if you can make his dream come true!

On the mend..

Firstly, great and warm thanks to those that responded to Chicklet and his story. Your support, both emotionally and toward his costly vet care, have helped us focus on his healing of body and spirit.

Great news,

Chicklet has been able to come home from the hospital recently and will stay here in between his vet visits. He is on quite a few different medications and is required back to the vet hospital several more times, before the day he is ready to find his perfectly loving home. Right now, he is definitely on the mend….we take his care on a day by day approach. What are easy or simple things for all of our rescues are giant steps for this little guy…and celebrated as such.

Emotionally, Chicklet has made deep strides. He would not let anyone near him for weeks….with his pain level and all the hell he had been through, who could blame him? Luckily he loves Natural Balance sausage rolls…otherwise, we have no idea how we would have administered his medication.

Baby steps….and giant steps at the same time.

But one day I was sitting in the room with him and he just walked over to me and put his paws in my lap and he has been a tentitive but trusting little guy ever since.

We send more humble thanks for your kind words and donations. If you think you could provide the right home for this especially deserving little man, please let us know.
For now, we continue to focus on bringing him back to a better quality of life than he has ever known. We are still trying to raise the necessary money to cover his ongoing care.

The little Chicklet.

As rescues, most often when we encounter an abandoned/abused dog we are able to somewhat piece together what their life might have been from the physical evidence we see. Such is not the case with Chicklet.

Beside the unimaginable of being burned by acid, it appears he was used as bait or attacked before being found by someone that dropped him off in a cardboard box at one of our vets. We were called immediately as he was being checked over by the doctors. Despite the sickening state we found him in, one doctor in particular felt despite the hell Chicklet had been put through, that he would be able to be brought back with proper nurturing, medication and patience….she was just worried that no person or personswould take
him on…little did she know that we are always up for this challenge.

Beside the above, he was starved, dehydrated, disoriented and working a case of mange. As he is healing, the bite marks and other mysterious wounds will all be treated and addressed. After about five days in our care, with accelerated amounts of nutrition and medication, his bleeding stopped, he got up, walked around and went back to the new safe spot that is his bed.

It has been a while since we had this extreme of a ‘day at a time’ case….but every day is offering promise.
Every dog deserves humane treatment and yes puppies and cute dogs are easier from a rescue point of view, but there is something about Chicklet, his spirit that pulled us in. And on another level, we did not want him leaving this planet thinking that there is a dearth of compassion in humans.
Naturally, anything anyone might be able to contribute to his recovery is beyond appreciated.
Thank you.
We will keep you posted on his progress.

Please consider donating a small amount to Chicklet. As you can see, Chicklet will need extensive amounts of rehabilitation, not only physically but emotionally. We cannot do this without your help.

The Noodles

It has been a long time since my last post and there have been noodles of goings on.

In the last post two of our new members were introduced that were found abandoned in a park. Lo and behold little Louise had 3 little buns in the oven. Or more like three little noodles…Soba, Udon and Ramen.

Well they are now over 8 weeks old and will be neutered and off to their new homes.

Here are some photos of little Soba growing up through the past 2 months…

Obnoxiously cute

One of our regular vets has been calling us this week about dogs that needed to find homes….

We agreed to take them on as Mutt Scouts dogs and we headed over there this week to meet the

“new recruits”

And what we saw was just obnoxious….

this little girl was brought into the vet to be euthanized because the landlord said “no dogs”

these two were abandoned in a park

Don’t worry little dogs…we promise you’ll never again have to be in the presence of such obnoxiously LAME people as the ones that threw you away.

Foster

Foster's "serious look"

Foster had to survive on the streets for quite some time before he was taken to safety by some caring people.

Foster has beautiful big green eyes and is the perfect lap dog. He gets along beautifully with other dogs and would make a perfect friend for someone.

Loves to play wiffle ball

practicing his Zen Look

Please contact us if you are interested in meeting this great little guy!

Yard Sales for Mutts

We always need donations for the dogs in our care. One way we have found to raise money for surguries etc is to have yard sales. We are always collecting peoples unwanted things to sell at the next sale – so if you just cleaned out your garage and don’t know what to do with all that stuff, sen us an email and we will take it off your hands plus you’ll be helping animals in need which feels great!

Here are some photos from our last sale which we held with Mutt Match LA.
