THE CLEVELAND 6
Their story....
The "Cleveland 6"
(Dalia, Blue, Patti Cakes, Cinnamon, Betsy, and Polara) were rescued from a
home where they were kept in one room and bred over and over. When our vets
finally were able to assess them and recommend treatment, it appeared that
they had never been vetted. All of them have luxating patellas, and Cinnamon
and Betsy have their repairs scheduled next week. The other four are grossly
overweight and will be assessed when they have reached their normal body
weight. All are now spayed, have had dentals, and several had hernia repairs.
Dalia was the worst, with bladder stones, a mammary tumor, two different types
of hernias, and of course, her spay. The females had adhesions from past
c-sections and because of their age (10 yrs old), Dalia, Blue, and Polara lost
many teeth. Blue had a retained testicle and all had blood work done before
surgery. All dogs had to be fully vaccinated and heartworm tested, and all
were microchipped. None were housebroken because they were confined in a room
and given no training. They were filthy and smelled of urine and feces, and
the first thing that happened was a good bath for all of them.
We are currently
at $4000 and the two bilateral patella surgeries will be another $3400. If
you can help with vet bills for these very deserving dogs, we would appreciate
it, along with checking out our "Coats
Off Our Backs" fundraiser. We had an extremely generous donation of
1000 coats, and are using them as a fundraiser for this group of dogs.
These dogs come
on the heels of another group that came from a breeder who badly neglected her dogs
for years and then closed down, surrendering six who needed
major dental work, spays, and full vetting. They, too, are ten years plus, and
dentals were a major expense.
Homer,
Gomez,
Bubbles (adopted), Diane (adopted), and
Greta (not yet on site) were part of that group.
If you can help,
please send a check for the Cleveland 6. Use Paypal on our site to make a
donation, or shop at our Coats Off Our Backs sale.
Please help us
reach our goal of $7400!
