Mcarthur update
Mcarthur is now Moki...isn't he cute all groomed?
Updates from Debbie/rescue:
3/31/09 Moki went to the 'big' hospital today for more evaluation on his eyes and to prepare for his surgery on Thursday. I received a call from the doctor tonight with a mixed bag of information. His ulcer on one eye is not active. His pressures are a little on the high end of normal and he may be seeing some shadows out of one eye. The eye vet does not recommend removing his eyes. He feels Moki is not in any pain and there is no drainage i.e. infection so he suggests leaving them alone. They are also both producing tears. He will get his neuter on Thusday - laproscopically (sp?). They said he is a candidate for this procedure and it will be less stressful and a quicker recovery.----YEAH!!!!
4/2/09 Moki had his surgery this afternoon. Dr. Sims called to tell me they could not do the laproscopic sugery as the testicle was in a tube (sorry I can't remember the name of the tube). They had to make an incision. He was waking up and she said he did very well and they surgery went great. He will be moved back to the clinic tomorrow and I may get to pick him up tomorrow evening. It depends on how he is feeling. I'm sure he is wondering what the heck is going on. Just wanted to let all of you know Moki's status.
He has a couple of chew bones waiting for him. :-)

Ashtabula OH -- Cats losing home -- Donations needed
Please spread the word, and help if you can!
Ashtabula Animal Advocates is trying to help a local family who needs
to get rid of their animals due to divorce and the loss of their home.
We have already placed the dogs, but cats, as you know, are always a
challenge. An area rescuer has generously offered to board some of
the cats and find them homes, but Ashtabula Animal Advocates needs to
get them vetted and pay a surrender fee to the farm that some of the
cats will be going to. The total amount we need to raise is $563.12
If you are able to donate even a little it would be so helpful.
Please send donations to ashtabulaanimaladvocates@gmail.com
(gmail.com)
I will also be donating the proceeds for all sales in my Etsy shop
through this weekend to this cause: http://fashionsplatter.etsy.com
Thanks for all you do to help the animals!

Ashtabula OH -- Special needs Lhasa and Corgi mix need rescue
Crossposting is appreciated!
McArthur is a 4 to 6 year old Lhasa with severe ulceration to both eyes. He appears to be blind and according to the shelter vet will need both eyes removed. He is also cryptorchid and has ear mites, which can be treated at the shelter if needed. He is super sweet in spite of all he is going through, and likes to be held like a baby.
Muffin is a 5 to 7 year old corgi/beagle mix who is obese and has a skin fold around her read end. She will need major skinfold dermatitis correction and tumor removal and biopsy of the tail. Ideally the shelter would love to see her go to rescue so that she can get more intensive care. If that's not an option they may be able to have the surgery done by a local vet if we can raise the money.
Please contact me at ashtabulaanimaladvocates @ gmail.com if you can help either of these dogs!

Update on Pumpkin (now Spencer)
I just knew you guys would all like to see these new pics of Pumpkin (now called Spencer) that his mom Caren sent me the other day. The little kitten in the pics is named Tyler, he's a fellow tripod from GA. He was severely abused; some kids cut one of his feet off with a pair of hedgeclippers. Fortunately he, like Pumpkin, will be able to live out the rest of his life in happiness. Look how happy they look :)

Ashtabula OH -- ACD mix pup needs leg amputation -- Donations needed
Jack was found walking along a country road by an APL volunteer, dragging his left front leg. He apparently has no feeling in the leg because all the skin has been worn off and the bone is exposed. The wound is already infected, and he needs to have his leg amputated right away to keep it from getting worse. A vet will be at the shelter tomorrow night to do spays and neuters. He can do the amputation then if we pay for his time. This will likely be around $200. The shelter also owes about $75 to an area vet who cleaned and bandaged the wound and made sure Jack would stay safe and comfortable until his surgery. So we are hoping to raise close to $300 by tomorrow night.
I know we are all having a tough time financially right now, so I'm not asking for large donations, but if you can give just a few dollars it would really help. Please PayPal to ashtabulaanimaladvocates@gmail.com (gmail.com) Please use this address, not any others you might have used to donate to the APL previously (I've sent out too many typos to count!) If we happen to raise more money than what is needed to care for Jack, the extra will be used to treat other APL animals with special medical needs.
I am also donating all proceeds from sales at my Etsy shop through Saturday night to Jack's care: http://fashionsplatter.etsy.com
Jack is a super sweet and loving pup, about 8 months old. He was a little scared when first found, but warmed up quickly. His PF listing is at http://www.petfinder.com/petnote/displaypet.cgi?petid=13184470
(I'm not sure why it says that he has spent most of his life in foster care (well, technically it says that his paw has spent most of *its* life in foster care!) b/c he was just found on Wednesday. Must have been a misunderstanding when his paperwork was processed. The person who does the PF descriptions has in most cases not actually met the dogs. His description will be corrected with the next Petfinder upload.)
Thanks so much for reading, and for all you do to help animals in need, whether you're able to donate this time or not!

Ashtabula OH -- Gutter, senior lab with seizures, needs rescue!
Crossposting is appreciated!!!
Gutter (unfortunate name, I know) is a super sweet senior lab. He
arrived at the Ashtabula County APL with severe eye entropian, which
was corrected with surgery. It was noted that his eyes appeared
rather sunken in his skull. Due to extreme overcrowding at the
shelter, Gutter went to stay in the home of an employee, since he was
a good candidate for a house with cats, kids, and other dogs. Shortly
after arriving at the employee's home it was discovered that the poor
old boy has seizures as well. Thanks to donations we were able to get blood work done and have Gutter put on an appropriate dosage of phenobarbital, which curbed the seizures while in foster care. He has since come back to stay at the shelter, and did have a couple seizures when he first came back, but they appear to have stopped again now that he is used to his surroundings.
Please note that the pic was taken before his entropian surgery.
This is what the family who fostered Gutter has to say about him:
"11 yr old Black Lab (mix I think). Male, Having seizures in his sleep.
Foster home has
4 kids, 6 months,3 yr,7 yr and 9 yr
4 Foster Kittens under 3 months.
2 other dogs. Both around 6 months.
Potty trained, Sits, Speaks, Lays, and Is leashed trained. Love to go
for walks. Curls up next to the bed at night. Gives a low growl when
rubbing his ears cause it feels just that darn good. He lays around
most of the day as any older dog does.
He has been pacing for what seems like forever, cause he associates
his seizures with his sleep. When he wakes up from it, the first
thing he does is check on everyone else in the house to make sure
everyone is oki. Bumping into just about everything. He seems very
determined to check on everyone. Then he just walks around and "walks
it off"."
Gutter is great with kids and other dogs. He's about the nicest dog you could ever hope to meet, and deserves a chance to live out his retirement years in safety and comfort.
If you might be able to rescue this sweet old fellow, *please*
contact me at ashtabulaanimaladvocates@gmail.com (gmail.com)!
(Please not that I've been having some issues receiving email. I always reply to rescue inquiries within 24 hours, so if you contact me about Gutter and don't hear back, please try again!)
Thanks,
Dawn

UPDATE: Ashtabula OH -- THANK YOU to the rescue community and local residents!
Crossposting is appreciated!
We so rarely hear good news, so I wanted to be sure and let you all know how much you've helped the animals of Ashtabula County. The last few days have been truly moving and humbling, especially to this grumpy old "people suck" cynic ;) Between rescues and adoptions, we were able to get over 100 dogs to safety! The shelter has gone from having up to five dogs in some kennels to having more than half the kennels empty! And we couldn't have done it without the help of everyone who pulled dogs, adopted new family members, spread the word, donated, etc. My most heartfelt thanks to all of you. And you *know* all the dogs whose lives you've saved thank you too :)

Ashtabula OH -- Crisis at the APL -- 100+ animals may be killed -- all are free to rescue
Crossposting is appreciated
I know I've posted many times about the overcrowding at the Ashtabula County APL in NE Ohio. But the situation has reached a breaking point and the Humane Society is about to come in and shut the place down. They need to get numbers down *drastically*....like to about 1/3 of what they are now. This may mean killing more than 100 animals. Euthanasia of adoptable dogs begins Friday.
All animals come fully vetted and can go to approved rescues for free. Transport help is available.
Please contact me at dawn.shimp @ gmail.com (gmail.com) if you can help.
Please see the adoptable animals below. Not all are listed..many more will be added in the coming days.
Thanks,
Dawn
